Selected Scene 1
場景1
Captain: In the future, you're kind to remember certain rooms in this house are not to be disturbed.
上校：以后請你記住，這兒有些房間是不能亂闖的。
Maria: Yes, captain, sir.
瑪麗亞：是，上校，先生。
Captain: Why do you stare at me that way?
上校：為什么這樣盯著我？
Maria: You don't look like at all a sea captain.
瑪麗亞：先生，你看起來一點都不像海軍上校。
Captain: I'm afraid you don't look very much like a governess, Turn around, please.
上校：恐怕你也不怎么像家庭教師。請轉過身去。
Maria: What?
瑪麗亞：什么？
Captain: Turn. Hat off. It's the dress. You have to put on another before meeting the Children.
上校：轉身，脫帽，是衣服不對勁。在和孩子們見面之前，你得換套衣服。
Maria: But I don't have another. When we enter the abbey, our worldly clothes go to the poor.
瑪麗亞：但是，我沒有其他衣服。當我們進修道院時，就把平時穿的衣服都送給窮人了。
Captain: What about this one?
上校：那這一件呢？
Maria: The poor didn't want it.
瑪麗亞：窮人不要這一套。
Captain: Hmm.
上校：唔。
Maria: I would have made myself a new dress but there wasn't time. I can make my own clothes.
瑪麗亞：如果有時間的話，我就自己做一套新衣服。我自己會做衣服。
Captain: I'll see that you get some material. Today, if possible. Now, Fraulein...
上校：我給你弄些布料，可能的話，今天就給你。現在小姐……呃…
Maria: Maria.
瑪麗亞：瑪麗亞。
Captain: Fraulein Maria, I don't know how much the mama has told you.
上校：瑪麗亞小姐，我不知道院長嬤嬤向你介紹了多少情況。
Maria: Not much.
瑪麗亞：不是很多。
Captain: You are the twelfth in a long line of governess to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours.
上校：自從孩子們的母親去世以后，你是來照看他們的第12位女家庭教師。相信你比最后一位有進步，她只待了兩個小時。
Maria: What's wrong with the children, sir?
瑪麗亞：孩子們有什么不對勁嗎？
Captain: There's nothing is wrong with the children, only the governesses. They were completely unable to maintain discipline, without it, the house cannot be properly run. Please remember that, Fraulein.
上校：孩子們都很正常，只怪家庭教師，他們完全不能維持紀律。沒這些紀律，這個家就沒法有效地管理。小姐，請記住這點。
Maria: Yes, sir.
瑪麗亞：好的，先生。
Captain: Every morning you will drill the children in their studies. I will not permit them to dream away their summer holidays. Each afternoon, they march about ground, breathing deeply. Bedtime is to be strictly observed. No exceptions.
上校：每天上午你得督促孩子們做功課。我不允許他們虛度整個暑假。下午，他們在操場上操練、深呼吸，就寢時間必須嚴格遵守，不得例外。
Maria: Excuse me, sir, when do they play?
瑪麗亞：對不起，先生。他們什么時候玩？
Captain: You will see to it that they conduct themselves all time with the utmost orderliness and decorum. I am placing you in command.
上校：你得看著他們，他們在任何時候都循規蹈矩。我任命你來指揮他們。
Maria: Yes, sir.
瑪麗亞：好的，先生。
