这些都是她十六岁开始拍戏时 These are movie stills
早期拍的电影剧照 from when she was 16
有些电影的拷贝已经不见了 Some of the prints are no longer available
她演的戏大部分是民间故事片 Most of the film genres were
风花雪月片 folklore, romances
甚至有些是神怪片和武侠片 supernatural or martial arts
听说她在戏里多是演一些 They say she was mostly
没有机会发挥的角色 given casual roles
就是我们今天所谓的"花瓶"的角色 or wallflowers, as we call them now
直至她在一九二九年加入联华之后 Only after joining Lienhua in 1929
才有机会拍一些严肃的 认真的电影 did she have a chance to be in serious films
岂不是跟我很相似? We share similar fates then?
阮玲玉自杀至今已经有五十多年 Ruan killed herself
足足半个世纪 over half a century ago
我们还有人记得她 记得这个演员 but people still remember her as a movie star
美姬 我想问你 Maggie, would you wish to be
你希望半个世纪后还有人记得你吗? remembered half a century later?
我觉得半个世纪之后 That's not
有没有人记得我并不重要 so important to me
但是如果有人真的记得我 But, if people do remember me
都是跟阮玲玉不同的 it'll be in a different light from Ruan
因为她在二十五岁最光辉 As she halted her career
最灿烂的日子里 when she was at her most glorious
让自己停留下来 at the age of 25
她现在已经是传奇了 She is now a legend
阮小姐演妖里妖气的女人 Miss Ruan played bad woman
全国也找不出第二个人了 to perfection
不过我还是非常赞成孙瑜的看法 Yet I agree with Sun Yu that
她演有高尚情操的女性 she adds a fascinating flavour
另外有一种味道 the roles of noble ladies
到底什么味道 我也讲不清楚 I can't explain the fascination
我们可以试试看 Let's try
民伟 我们联华第一套《故都春梦》 Min-wei, Lienhua is to start a new film "Reminiscences of Peking"
阮玲玉做一个妓女就一定没问题 Ruan should have no problem playing a prostitute
跟着《野草闲花》 我们全力捧她 Then we push her in "Wayside Flowers"
令她突然改变戏路 with a complete role change
做一个玉洁冰清的歌女 She's a chaste songstress
如果成功的话 那就不得了 It'd be terrific if we succeed
那等如说我们手上也有一个胡蝶 It means we have another superstar like Hu Tie
要比胡蝶更要好才行 She must be better than Hu Tie
我们成立联华是希望复兴国片 Lienhua aims to revive China's
拍点好戏 movie industry with good films
但也要有观众来看才行 But the box office is important
那就要有好明星 好导演 We must have good stars and directors
好导演我们有呀 老卜跟老孙 We've got good directors - Pu and Sun
我们这次上北平 We'll go to Peking to film snow scenes
除了要拍《故都春梦》的雪景 for "Reminiscences of Peking"
还要拍《野草闲花》的序幕 plus the opening scenes
那也是一场雪景 of "Wayside Flowers"
我想请阮玲玉来演女主角 I'd like to have Ruan Ling-yu as the female lead
同时请她扮演自己的母亲 and as her own mother
那是一场序幕 in a double role
这场戏我想写一个西北逃荒的妇女 In this scene she plays a woman fleeing the famine
在冰天雪地里 In the snow
她的小宝贝没有东西吃 her little one has nothing to eat
她就咬破自己的手指头 She bites her own finger and
用自己的血来喂饱她的孩子 feeds him with her own blood
看阮玲玉行不行? Can Ruan Ling-yu make the grade?
这么好的戏 她不行 我来演 It's a good film I'll play it if she can't
你还是到外边去转转看 对你有好处 You'd better try your luck outside, good for you
孙导演 Director Sun
导演 我去跟他们比大小 Director, I'll go and take it up with them
你们都是忘恩负义的 You're all ingrates
别以为我好欺负 I can be nasty too
朱家杰 你敢挡? Chu Chia-chieh, how dare you?
你够胆子挡? 你够胆 你胆敢... How dare you? How dare you?
燕燕 Yen-yen
我是骂莹姑 不是骂你 I'm cursing Ying, not you
王蕙兰 Wang Hui-lan,
你别恃着自己是大婆便指桑骂槐 you have gone too far
我虽然是小的 但我撑得起这个家 I'm a concubine, but I can support this family
也可以一手毁了它 or I can ruin it single handedly
不太好 再来 Not good enough, once more
好...再来... OK... Once more
六嫂 Chu-chu
生小孩的时候是不是真的很痛? does childbirth really hurt?
对呀 Yes
我记得我生第一胎的时候 I remember I kept screaming
一直在惨叫 during my first birth
我不要生小孩了 我不要生小孩了 I don't want to give birth!
干什么? 你想生小孩子? Why? You want to have children?
不 我只是想知道那种感觉是怎样的 No, I just want to know how it feels
这个小钢琴是你买给小玉的? Did you buy this baby piano for Hsiao-yu?
是 Yes
你现在跟达民怎么样了? How's it going with Ta-min?
我们? 没怎样 Nothing special
我昨天还写信给他 I wrote him yesterday
叫他别随便带舞女去跳舞 Asking him to stop dating club hostesses
我还是会吃醋的 I still get jealous
有一件事情我一直都不大清楚 I've been trying prove something
我也只是听来的 Something I heard
你尽管问好了 Go on
你是在你妈替张家做工时 Did you get intimate with him
就跟他要好的吗? when your mother was their maid?
那时候只是认识 后来才在一起的 I met him then. It happened later
当时只有十六岁 I was only 16
到现在已有四年了 It's been four years!
有没有想过结婚? Ever thought of getting married?
以前他家里反对 His family objected to our marriage
直到他父母去世后 After the death of his parents
我们大家都没有再提了 we didn't raise the subject again
那么他到底想怎么样? What on earth does he want?
我们开始要好的时候 He kept many horses
他养过很多马匹 when we first met
那时候他每天早上都带我去骑马 He took me riding every morning
记得有一回 我一面骑马一面望着他 One day I stared at him riding away
我突然之间觉得 and I realized
他这辈子都是喜欢逍遥自在 he wants a free and easy life
不可以结婚 不可以有孩子 He won't get married and have children
我收养小玉也跟这个有关 So I adopted her as a safeguard
那还要看他有没有这种福气 I'll leave the rest to fate
六嫂 可能生小孩的时候真的很痛 Chu-chu, maybe because childbirth is painful
所以当妈妈的会更疼爱他们 a mother loves her children more
你也很疼爱小玉嘛 You adore Hsiao-yu too
如果她是我亲生的 I wonder if I'd love her even more
不知道我会不会更疼爱她? if she were my own daughter
我相信你会的 I believe you would
阮玲玉最喜欢做的表情就是 Ruan favourite expressions:
尤其是伤感的时候 Looking up to the Heaven
那种无语问苍天的表情 in forlorn wordlessness
以前我看过她一 两部电影 I didn't think much of her
并不觉得她有怎么特别 when I saw a few of her movies
但当我看完她仅存的六部影片 But after having seen all her 6 movies
我便觉得她很出色 演什么像什么 she struck me as outstanding and life-like
尤其当时她拍的都是默片 They had silent movies then
没有对白 只有表情和肢体语言 It all came down to expressions and motion
我觉她有一股很特别的气质 I found in her something special
一种很性感的感觉 something sexy
我觉得她那种不是性感 Not superficially sexy
是骚在骨子里 It exuded from within
我看她每次都穿得很密实 She could be all wrapped up
旗袍的领口到脖子这里 up to here
但她仍可以风骚 这点才厉害 but you could feel her coquettish charm
但我觉得这并非她最厉害之处 I don't know how to put it exactly
最厉害是她的笑容很迷人 很有魅力 The way she smiled was most enchanting
《桃花泣血记》 Remember that village girl in
- 你记得那个村姑吗? - 记得 - "Weeping Peach Blossoms"? - Yes
真是要命 It really is soul-consuming
其实阮玲玉和张达民的关系是怎样? What was it really like between Ruan and Chang Ta-min?
我觉得张达民在生活上或是感情上 Somehow I feel Chang was immature
有很多不成熟的地方 in life and feelings
都需要阮玲玉来照顾他 He needed her care in this respect
尤其在阮玲玉当了明星之后 especially after Ruan became a movie star
张家已经家道中落 with Chang gambling and
加上张达民嗜赌如命 his family's dwindling fortune
我的意思不单是在经济方面照顾他 I mean not just financially
在精神上也像照顾小孩般的照顾他 Spiritually she looked after him like a child
你试想 一个女人长期这样 A woman could get tired
也会有感觉累的时候 under such circumstances
也会希望有人能倒过来照顾自己 and turn to others to care for her
因此 唐季珊的出现 So Tang Chi-shan came along
他比较成熟 又会得体贴女人 a mature man, considerate to the fair sex
不难想像他很容易得到阮玲玉的好感 He readily won her favour
- 谢谢你 - 别客气 - Thank you - Don't mention it
小玉 刚洗完了澡 别弄脏 Hsiao-yu, don't get dirty you've just taken a bath
妈妈 妈妈偷看我们 Mummy's peeping at us
小玉 你乖不乖? Hsiao-yu, are you nice?
乖 Yes
有没有想妈妈? Did you miss mummy?
妈妈 你进来 Mummy, come in
外面很冷 进来吧 It's cold outside, come in
这围巾漂不漂亮? Isn't this scarf beautiful?
漂亮 Yes
大声点 Louder!
漂亮 It's beautiful!
你现在只说上海话 不说广东话吗? You only speak Shanghai dialect now No Cantonese?
我没看过那么傻的女儿 You really are silly
送礼物给妈妈是送麻将牌的 sending me a mahjong set
我何止傻 我是疯的 I'm more than silly; I'm crazy
这是竹丝鸡炖燕窝 趁热喝了吧 Chicken brewed with swallow's nest Take it hot
谢谢 妈妈 Thank you, mummy
早几天 我炖了些东西给达民吃 I brewed something for Ta-min a few days ago
等了两天都不见他回来 I threw it away
我把它全都倒掉 after waiting for him for 2 days
你可以自己吃的嘛 You could have taken it yourself
适合我吃的话 当然不会浪费 I wouldn't have wasted it if it suited me
停电了 停电了 Power failure!
不会吧 厨房有电嘛 Impossible, there's light in the kitchen
一定是灯泡坏了 The bulb must've been out of order
一天到晚都说要用国货 They insisted on
用不了两个月就坏了 Chinese goods
当然是用日本货好 Japanese goods are better
妈 让我来吧 Mummy, let me
妈妈 我抱抱你 Mummy, let me hold you
你也来抱我? You hold me?
回来好久了? Been back long?
知道你今天回来 我想了大半天 I knew you'd be back today
一直在想买点什么送给你 I wanted to get you something
让你开心点 to cheer you up
没买? You didn't buy it?
但我买了 I bought it
跟六嫂聊天谈起了你 Chu-chu and I talked about you
我想来想去 好像没有买过东西给你 Then I thought of buying something for you
就找罗老板介绍去买了一只戒指 So I bought a ring through Mr Lo
他们都说我走运 很便宜 才八十块 It cost $80 only and they said I was lucky
我替你戴上 Let me put it on for you
太紧了 It's too tight
不大好看 It doesn't look good
你右手的手指比较瘦 Why is your right finger thinner?
喜欢吗? You like it?
你买贵了 还说自己走运 It's too dear Who says you're lucky?
这次我改变戏路很成功 My change of role went well
连六哥都说我可演正派角色 they said I was a good protagonist
我一定比胡蝶好 I must do better than Hu Tie
以前只有你送东西给我 I must give you something now
现在我也可以送你东西了 for the gifts you sent me
那么送几匹马给我好了 Give me a few horses then
我还没有这个本事 I still can't afford that
那么送钱好了 不过要分数次给我 Give me money then but in several instalments
不然我会花光你的 Otherwise, I may spend it all at once
阮小姐 Miss Ruan
阮小姐 化妆好了 准备拍戏 Miss Ruan, be ready for filming when you finish

我是陈燕燕 I'm Chen Yen-yen
你们在北平拍《故都春梦》的时候 I played a minor role
我在戏里演个小角色 when you filmed "Reminiscences of Peking"
我记得 你最近跟公司签了合约? I remember you've recently signed a contract with the company
是 但我还没有正式演出 Yes, but I've had no important role
阮小姐 听说你画一条眉毛要一小时 Miss Ruan, they say it takes you one hour to paint your brow
从哪里听说的? Where did you hear it?
北平 In Peking
我在哈尔滨画一条眉毛要两个小时 I took two hours to paint a brow in Harbin

我希望你们联华的人能跟我们一齐走 Hope you people at Lienhua can join us
永刚 刘琼 我们跟聂耳走 Yung-kang, Liu Chiung let's follow Nieh Erh
好吧 Okay
黎先生 你是革命家 你来领导 Mr Li, you're a revolutionary, you lead
我跟孙中山先生北伐的时候 When I followed Dr Sun
我不是拿枪的 in the North Expedition
我是拿摄影机的 I carried a camera, instead of a gun
但我知道真的干起来我还是会拿枪的 But I know when the moment comes I must carry a gun
我想现在还不是时候 But the time is not yet now
我先拨个电话给南京政府 Let me call the Nanking Government now
南京? Nanking?
想想吧 Think about it
他们绝不敢跟日本打 They won't let Japan war with us
我们不能等了 We can't wait, can we?

跟聂耳去支援学生 to help Nieh and the students
好 Okay
拍戏啦 拍戏啦 Back to work
我们商量一下 Let's have a discussion
这个事情就解决了 It's settled
拍戏啦 拍戏啦 Back to work
阿关 黎莉莉今年到底几岁了? Kwan, how old is Lily Li this year?
七十六岁 她比阮玲玉小五岁 76. She's 5 years younger than Ruan
不知道我七十六岁时是否这个样子? What will I look like at 76?
我正想问你 I was going to ask you
昨天我问过张曼玉 Yesterday I asked Maggie Cheung
你是否希望几十年后 Do you hope to be remembered
还有人记得有个演员刘嘉玲? decades later?
绝对希望有 I absolutely do
我希望当有人提到九十年代的明星时 I hope people would talk about movie stars in the 90's
不论数到第几个 起码有数到我 with me included, whatever the number
起码记得你 You hope to be remembered
起码记得我 Yes
但我觉得若果阮玲玉当时没有自杀 I feel that had Ruan not killed herself
没有在她最光辉的时候把时间停留 and kept her most brilliant moment
我们今天也不会在拍"阮玲玉" we wouldn't be filming "Ruan Ling-yu" now
也许是在拍"某某传" We may be interviewing her
在访问阮玲玉 and filming another biography
那么我们当演员的是否应该 Should a movie star vanish
在自己最光辉的时候消失呢? at the peak of her brilliance?
千万不要让这件事把你弄得... Don't waste time on such silly questions
我已经决定了... I decided...
假如我要当一个很有名... If I were to be famous...
我要当一个神话 If I were to be a legend
我便会在我最美 最锋芒的时候死去 I had to die when I was most beautiful
阮玲玉死了 躺在棺材的时候 I kept that memory in mind (Lily Li, 1990. Actress of the 30's)
我就想把那个记忆记在心里 When Ruan died and was lying in the coffin
我老是看着她 看着她 I kept staring and staring at her
看到她的头发飘起来了 till her hair fluttered up
我就把我的发夹给她夹上 Then I gripped it with my hairpin
那小玉就拉着我说 Then Hsiao-yu tugged at me saying:
阿姨你不哭 阿姨你不哭 Auntie, why don't you cry?
她要我哭 我那时候也哭不出来 She wanted me to cry. I couldn't then
黎莉莉第一次跟阮合作是《小玩意》 The first production between Lily Li and Ruan was "Little Toys"
我们跟她聊天时 In our casual chat with her
她强调拍《小玩意》的时候 she emphasized how
阮玲玉怎样教她演戏 Ruan taught her to act in that movie
由于这样她们两个成为了好朋友 And they became good friends as a result
阮玲玉的国语不好 Ruan didn't speak Mandarin well
黎莉莉主动教她讲国语 and Lily taught her
阮玲玉和蔡楚生的事情 Lily also stressed on the affair
黎莉莉也有强调过 between Ruan and Tsai
例如在化妆间碰到她 She did overhear her
听到她哼那首"蓝天使"的歌 hum that "Blue Angle" tune
我想黎莉莉当时一定看到不少事情 I think Lily Li saw many things
肯定是 That was positive
阮玲玉和蔡楚生之间的事 In the course of our extensive research
我们做资料搜集这么久 Not only did Lily Li mention the relationship
不单黎莉莉有提及 between Ruan and Tsai
在阮玲玉过身后有一作家曾提及 A writer wrote about it after her death
若阮玲玉和蔡楚生能冲破那个压力 Had Ruan and Tsai broken that barrier
能抛下包袱 and put away the mental burden
阮玲玉不一定会死 Ruan wouldn't have died
去年我们去上海找他时 We visited him in Shanghai last year
在去世前的两年当中 He suffered strokes
他已经中风两 三次 before his death
而且耳朵不灵 口齿亦不清 His speech and hearing was bad
他退休很久了 He retired a long time ago
民革的时候受了很多苦 He suffered a lot during the Cultural Revolution
民革以后也没拍什么戏 He made no films at all after that
最可惜是我们去上海做资料搜集时 When we went to Shanghai for research
只有这么一本书 this was the only book we had
要走的时候也要向他要回 And we took it back when we left
你把书放在他那里几天让他看? How many days did he have the book?
没有 只有在访问的当天 No, we showed him the book
我们带了本书 顺便让他看看 on the day of the interview
以便唤回他的一些记忆 to jog his memories
希望他能谈谈一些三十年代的事情 to tell us about affairs of the 30's
但他始终没办法讲 But he could not put it in words
结果访问完毕 隔了数天我们回香港 After the interview, we returned to HK
然后不到一个月他便去世了 And he died in less than a month
九十一岁 He was then 91
我们也很后悔 We regret not having let him
当时没有把摄影集留给他作纪念 keep the album as a souvenir
阮玲玉曾经托过我 Ruan had said to me:
她说老孙呀 你最好跟... Sun, you'd better tell...
那个时候的厂长是黎民伟 Li Min-wei the then Production Manager
黎民伟也去了北京嘛 who was in Peking too
你跟他说 You'd better tell him
最好不要带这个孩子到上海 not to take this child to Shanghai
老孙(孙瑜)说 那有什么关系 Sun answered: "What difference does it make?
反正公司总要用人的嘛 The Company needs someone anyway"
她说这个孩子将来去了以后 She said "The child would take away
一定会抢我半壁江山 half of my territory some day."
至少她也有过一段光辉的时候 At least she had a period of brilliant days
很光辉! 她在四十年代红得发紫 She was most popular in the 40's
那陈燕燕是否比阮玲玉还要红? Is Chen Yen-yen more famous than Ruan?
可以说差不多吧 They were about the same
我听我妈说 她当时还很小 I heard my mummy say... she was very young then
大家听到的只有陈燕燕和阮玲玉 Everyone only heard of Chen Yen-yen Ruan Ling-yu
反而黎莉莉 林楚楚等很少听说 but seldom of Lily Li and Lin Chu-chu
你可以试试看叫楚楚演一次 Try to get Chu-chu to
像阮玲玉那样的角色 play a Ruan Ling-yusque role
别转过头去看 你的那个也来了 Don't turn round Your loved one is here too
你跟谁来的? Who have you brought along?
小舞女 不用理她 A club hostess. Never mind her
你别忘了我们明天便要去香港 Don't forget we're going to HK tomorrow
等一会儿就回去收拾行李了 I must return to pack up in a minute
六嫂 谢谢你带我去香港 Chu-chu, please take me to Hong Kong
张织云来了 Chang Chih-yun is here
阮小姐 我蛮喜欢你 Miss Ruan, I admire you
你的电影我全看过 I've seen all your pictures
我不喜欢胡蝶 你比较有深度 I don't like Hu Tie You're more sophisticated
我比较喜欢张织云 因为她够糜烂 I like Chang Chih-yun. She's decadent
张织云是谁呀? Who's Chang Chih-yun?
她的老前辈 十年前是大明星 She's a veteran. She was a big movie star 10 years ago
我知道了 I know
她就是茶叶大王唐季珊的情妇嘛 She's Tea King Tang's mistress
听说茶叶大王常常把她关在家里 They say he kept her home
让她抽鸦片 smoking opium
自己在外面泡妞 while he went around womanizing
我可真受不了 I really can't stand that
是不是真的? Is that true?
不会吧 他喜欢追求女孩子是真的 Impossible It's true he likes womanising
他跟我们十分熟稔 He's on good terms with us
广东乡下有个老婆 He has a wife in Canton
夫妻关系不十分好 but they don't get along
他也追求过黎灼灼的 He wooed Li Cho-cho too
大家不要紧张 Take it easy
不是空袭 只是停电... it was only a power failure not air raid
一会儿便没事 不用紧张 Keep cool!
快好了 快好了... Don't panic
电来了... Power's back
刚才只是停电 不是空袭 Power failure, not air raid
又停电了 怎么搞的 Power failure, again?
我要吃火烧冰琪淋 I want an ice-cream Alaska

他答应给我做瑞安轮的经理 He promised to make me manager of the SS Shui An
这次真的要谢谢你和六哥了 I must really thank you and Min-wei
瑞安轮只是行走澳门和香港 The Shui An only plies between Macau and Hong Kong
我就是喜欢澳门 I like Macau
如果要我去非洲我就不去了 I wouldn't want to go to Africa
日本人要是再炸下去 If the Japs keep bombing

阮小姐 Miss Ruan
阿阮 你没事吧? Ruan, are you all right?
没事 Yes

六哥终于说服了他加入联华做股东 Min-wei finally talked him into joining Lienhua as a partner
等上海平静了就会回去签署合约 When Shanghai calms down he'll return to sign the contract
继续复兴国片? To revive the Chinese movie industry again?
那个张织云有没有跟你们一块儿去? Did Chang Chih-yun go with you?
被他困在家里抽鸦片 He confined her home to smoke opium
只是传闻 That's a rumour only
传闻有没有话我控制你? Did the rumour say that I control you?
我也没有控制你 I don't control you either
别这样嘛 Don't!
控制我嘛 Control me
干什么呀你? What are you doing?
其实我也没有什么兴趣 In fact, I'm not interested
我们一定要创造剧中人的"空气" We must create images for the cast
"空气"很重要 The image is important
我一对着镜头整个人就僵了 The moment I face the camera, I freeze
那就把它变成一种风格吧 Consider it acting
下面我还没想出来呢 Haven't got a way to end it

孙导演 Director Sun
你是逃兵呀 You're a deserter
你别乱讲啦 Mind your words
卜导演 Director Pu
阿阮 你把你那位留在香港了吗? Ruan, are you leaving him behind in HK?
他在那边找到工作了 He's found work over there
这也可以说 This means he made some contribution
他对"一二八"救亡运动有点贡献 to the Movement
真对不起 Sorry
你们的救亡运动我没来参加 I didn't take part in your Movement
没关系 以后的机会多得很 Never mind, there are lots of chances in future
这些日本人是不会走的 These Japs won't leave
那时候便不是光唱歌劳军 Then it's no longer a matter of singing for the Army
上医院看护伤兵那么简单了 or nursing the wounded soldiers in hospital
对 这一次注定要跟他们拼了 Right. This time we've decided to fight them
要拼没错 Right, we must fight
跟大家一起唱呀 Let's sing together
你现在应该开心点了 Now cheer up
到底是田汉 Tien Han is Tien Han
这个是联华第一部进步电影 It's the 1st progressive movie of Lienhua
田汉的名字可不能用 You mustn't use the name Tien Han
为什么? Why?
他是地下分子 He's a subversive
这部戏说的是摩登女性 The modern girl in this film
不是只会打扮 开汽车 走时髦 isn't the type who's into cosmetics and cars
而是能够自食其力 She must be independent, rational and brave
最理智 最勇敢 最关心大众利益的 A girl of the times should be
才是当代最摩登的女性 concerned about people's welfare
黎灼灼 你代表浪漫 Li Cho-cho, you represent romance
燕燕 你的角色要代表纯洁 Yen-yen, your role signals purity
可是革命浪潮一打过来 你落荒而逃 But you flee when hit by the revolutionary waves
燕燕你呢 你男朋友不爱你 你自杀 Yen-yen, you kill yourself because your boyfriend jilts you
卜导演 Director Pu
阿阮 你好 Ruan, how are you?
卜导演 我怎样死呢? Director Pu, how do I die?
我等会儿告诉你 I'll tell you in a minute
她来了怎么办? What if she comes?
要不要去找田汉? Shall I go and find Tien Han?
他只是个编剧 He's only a script-writer
卜导演 打扰你一会儿 可以吗? Director Pu, do you have a minute?
可以 可以 Sure
我们到外面去谈 let's go out for a chat
阿阮 你有什么事呀? Ruan, what's the matter?
卜导演 听说《三个摩登女性》里 They say you haven't found the girl
有个周淑贞角色 for the Chou role
你还没有找到人 你看让我来演好吗 How about letting me have a go?
阿阮 你不适合的 Ruan, it's unsuitable for you
你以前一直是演悲剧人物 You've been playing a tragic figure
或者是风流女性 or a romantic girl
不错 你是有高贵气质的 You have a noble personality
我这部戏里的周淑贞 That role is neither noble
既不高贵 也不浪漫 nor romantic
她只是个女工 是劳动者 She's a labourer
你不合适的 and not suitable for you
我可以演得好 I can play it well
假如失败了 我来赔 If I fail, I'll make good your loss
阿阮 周淑贞是个刚强 朴实 Ruan, she's a stubborn girl, rebellious
敢于反抗的女性 她代表革命 She's the revolutionary type
前几次的访问中你也有提到 In previous interviews, you mentioned (Shen Chi, 1991. Playwright-novelist)
阮玲玉后期在联华的时候 Ruan was in many progressive movies (Author of "Ruan Ling-yu,
演了很多进步电影 in the later stage Movie Star of the Decade")
你认为她自觉的 Did she volunteer or feel compelled
还是受影响去演这些电影的? to take these roles?
当时很多国产电影 Many Chinese movies projected
拍了不少有社会意识的影片 a social background
而且塑造了很多新女性的形象 and the image of modern girls
因为阮玲玉过去演的 Having played mostly
多数是受迫害 受委屈的女性形象 downtrodden, helpless females
她也觉得应该演这么好的一个人 She wanted to play a modern role for a change
可以符合观众的要求 to meet the needs of the audience
因此她这次参加《三个摩登女性》 So she offered to act
是自觉的要求演出 in "Three Modern Women" herself
是她自己主动去争取? She went after that role herself?
是她主动去争取 向卜万苍主动要求 She did, and pressed Director Pu for it
我们去跳个舞 Let's dance
我这个人最受不了人家对我好的 I can't resist people being so nice to me
谁对我好 Whoever does
我会疯狂似的对他更好 I'll madly reciprocate
谢谢 Thank you
为什么? Why?
让我知道你的弱点 You've shown me your weak point
我还有个张达民的 I still have Chang Ta-min
我对你好 Do I have to be nice
是不是也要对张达民好? to Chang Ta-min too?
你还有张织云 又有个太太 You still have Chang Chih-yun and a wife
黎灼灼没有了吗? What about Li Cho-cho?
在香港我就跟张织云断绝了 I broke with Chang Chih-yun in HK
我跟太太就比较难 It'll be harder with my wife
如果我可以随时抛弃她 If I dump her just like that
你也会害怕我吧 you'd be scared of me
给我一点时间吧 Give me time
停 Stop!
车轨速度可以了吧? Is the camera moving at the right speed?
好像要再慢一点 Seems it has to be a bit slower
再慢 片子就太长了 It'll make the film much longer then
大家辛苦了 抓紧时间 再来一遍 Thanks for the hard work Rush for another take
辛苦了 Thank you
金焰 今天这部电影中 Chin Yen, you play a playboy
你可否演一个花天酒地的电影明星 in this movie
不是个什么新青年 But not a so called new youth
周淑贞带你来看这些劳苦大众 Look scared when Chou takes you
你要演得很吃惊的 to see the poor
她上次带我去看贫民窟 I was scared
我已经很吃惊 when she took me to the slum
这次我想再多加些被她打动的感觉 This time I want to show I'm moved
你说可以吗? What do you think?
那么就要演出来呀 You'll make it then
阿阮 你演得好 像这样演下去 Ruan, well done, carry on
导演 唐老板来了 Director, Boss Tang is here
唐先生 你好 Mr Tang, how are you?
大家好好地再来一次 唐老板来了 One more take Mr Tang's here
我们争取一次成功 Let's strive to get it right this time
好 大家准备好 Good, ready
灯光 道具 Lights, props
预备 开麦拉 Ready. Camera!
沈老师 Master Shen
有很多人后来研究阮玲玉 Many analysts found out that
觉得她越到后期 Ruan's later
她在戏里演的进步角色 progressive roles
跟她实际生活是一个很大的矛盾 contrasted sharply with her real life
沈老师 你的看法怎么样? What do you think?
她跟唐季珊的结合 Her union with Tang Chi-shan had
跟她当时的处境很有关系 everything to do with how she fared then
后来她了解唐季珊的为人 The circumstances were beyond her control
她已经无可奈何 She saw through him and then
她跟唐季珊在一起只有一年多 it was a matter of one year
由同居到她自杀 from cohabitation to suicide
她后来知道唐季珊有了前妻 There was nothing
还有他的一些行为 she could do
她觉得已经木已成舟 when she found out
已经没有办法了 he had a previous marriage
她的性格也不会去挣扎 反抗的 It was never in her to fight or resist
可是她对这个生活还是满意 She considered
只是并不理想 the relationship tolerable
这是张达民 这是唐季珊 That's Chang Ta-min That's Tang Chi-shan
我们很困难才找到这照片 It was difficult getting these photos
其中有一张小得都看不清楚 One of them is barely visible
后来唐季珊在台湾时很潦倒 Tang later sank very low in Taiwan
听说他年老的时候在路边卖香烟 They say he was a cigarette vendor
老死在台湾 And he died of old age there
阮自杀后 上海很多话剧 舞台剧等 After the suicide many plays and operas in Shanghai
便以他们三人的关系作为剧目演出 featured the triangular relationship between Ruan, Chang and Tang
如《玲玉香消记》 《香消玉陨记》 calling them "Death of Ruan Ling-yu" or "Fall of A Movie Star"
还请张达民去现身说法 Chang was invited to appear in person
张达民后来和香港一间电影公司合作 He later co-operated with a HK movie company
拍了一部《谁之过》 to film "Who's to Blame"
自己饰演自己 He played himself
我觉得他这个人...无药可救 I felt then he was hopeless
虽说部分是他的家庭环境所造成 Family might partly account for it
但他做事是从没想过后果的 but he was himself irresponsible
后来他是在香港过身的 He was only 36
三十六岁的时候 肺炎死的 when he died of pneumonia in HK
各位 Ladies and gentlemen
影评报导联华的《三个摩登女性》 movie critics describe "Three Modern Women"
是部中国影坛上的重型炸弹 as a great film heralding
具有伟大的未来性 a bright future
为了这伟大的未来性 Let's take photos together
我们来一起拍个照留念 for a souvenir
粉红色导演 快过来 快过来呀 Pink Director, come over quick!
要不然留下你了 Shall I leave you behind?
对不起 对不起呀 Sorry, sorry
他是谁? Who's he?
他是蔡楚生 He's Tsai Chu-sheng
他导演过一部叫《粉红色的梦》 He's just directed a movie titled "A Rosy Dream"
后来聂耳就写影评骂他 Then Nieh Erh called him
说他是粉红色的导演 Pink Director
现在他们却成为好朋友了 Now they're good friends
对不起 Sorry
以后我们联华出品的都是重型炸弹 From now on, all our productions will be blockbusters
有费穆 孙瑜 吴永刚 蔡楚生 It features Fei Mu, Sun Yu Wu Yung-kang, Tsai Chu-sheng

深水炸弹嘛 Like depth charges
阮小姐 两位女主角拍张照 Miss Ruan, a photo of you two stars
- 一二三 - 谢谢 123 Thank you
什么事? What do you mean?
达民同意跟我分居 Ta-min has agreed to separate from me
但要求每个月要三百块钱 on an alimony of $300 each month
不多 That's not too much
我薪水的三分一呢! It represents one-third of my salary
我给 I'll pay him
他肯要钱 对我来说是个大好的消息 That's good news for me
证明他对你已经没有感情 It means he has no more feelings for you
眼中有的只是钱 那就容易应付了 Money alone makes things easier
男人跟女人分手 还要跟女人要钱 Shame on a man asking
一点自尊心也没有 for separation money
没有自尊心就容易杀价 It makes talks easier
我保证我给他一百块钱 他也会要 I'm sure if I gave him $100 he'd take it
我叫我的律师跟他订合约 I'll sign a contract with him through my lawyer
费导演 Director Fei
我会把坦尼斯拉夫斯基的表演理论 I'll translate all the acting theory

日本人就是敌人 敌人就是日本人 The Japs are the enemy and the enemy is the Japs
国民政府想骗谁呀? Who's the Nationalist Government trying to fool?
阿阮 你知道吗 外面的记者跟我说 Ruan, the reporters outside told me that
政府以后不准我们拍抗日的电影 The Government has banned anti-Japanese movies
我们那个《小玩意》里面 In our "Little Toys" the Japs are
凡是提到日本人都要改叫敌人 invariably called the enemy
是吗? Is that so?
敌人来啦 大家快醒醒 The enemy's coming, wake up!

无论如何想请你担任女主角 In any case, I'll cast you in the female lead
蔡楚生 你别不要脸好吗? Tsai Chu-sheng, aren't you ashamed?
你的《渔光曲》不卖座的话 No one will hire you
谁要拍你的戏 if your present movie doesn't sell
你还想请阮玲玉当你的女主角 Don't dream of getting Ruan Ling-yu as your leading lady
阿阮 你别答应呀 Ruan, don't commit yourself

导演 怎么样? How's it, director?
好像有什么地方不对劲 Something seems wrong
不过我也说不出来 but I can't put my finger on it
莉莉 我想这场戏到了最后 Lily, this show is coming to the end
珠儿用手把妈妈的眼泪抹掉 Chu wipes off her mummy's tears with her hand
然后用小指头把泪珠弹出去 Then flicks the teardrops away with her little finger
不过你现在表演得很痛苦 You can't do this well
就很难这么做了 with your pain
当时我给日本鬼子炸伤了 就快死了 I'm dying after being bombed by the Japs
我想我应该很痛苦才对 I should feel great pain
对呀 不过也不全对 Right, but not completely
让我想想 Let me think
化妆师 Make up these
你去把两个伤女人的妆补一下 two wounded women
把衣服换好 Get the costumes changed
等一下就是她们俩的戏了 准备 Theirs is next on the program Get ready
我不了解他是什么意思 I don't get him
你想想看 Imagine
珠儿这角色是很乖 很聪明 Chu plays a nice, clever girl
和很会体贴她妈妈的 considerate to her mummy
所以我觉得在这个时候 so it's best for her
她反而会尽量忍住自己的痛苦 to mask her pain now
你可以试试看笑着对妈妈来安慰她 You may try smiling at mummy to comfort her
让她别这么难过 and lighten her sorrow
莉莉 我知道你该怎么演了 Lily, I know how you should act
我也知道了 Me, too
你不应该只演自己的痛苦和情绪 You shouldn't just show your own anguish
我现在知道怎么样去演了 I know what I should do now
而且知道你想要什么 and what you want
阮小姐 Miss Ruan
我觉得你是当今中国最好的演员 I feel you're the best actress in China
阮小姐 你是甲方 Miss Ruan, you're Party A

艾霞自杀的原因谣言有很多 是吗? Are there many rumours about Ai Hsia's suicide?
她不是自杀 It was not suicide
她是被杀 She was killed
杀她的不是一 两个人 She was killed by the society
而是我们整个社会 not 1 or 2 persons
是黄色小报的记者 The obscene tabloid reporters
我觉得韦明这个角色 I feel Wei Ming's role
正正是艾霞的翻版 is a mirror of her life
我在明星公司的时候见过她几次 I have seen her several times in Star Studio
她演的《春蚕》和《丰年》我都看过 I have seen her "Spring Silkworm" and "Bumper Crop"
还有她最后那部《现代一女性》 And "A Modern Woman"
那是她自己写的剧本 She wrote the script herself
老蔡《新女性》的片名 Tsai calls his film "New Women"
就是为她的死而起的 because of her death
你跟她很熟吗? Were you on good terms with her?
你跟她很稔熟? You were on good terms with her?
很熟 Yes
她个性很独立 She was independent
戏又演得好 又会写剧本 a good actress and script-writer
她是个新女性 She was a modern female
偏偏有些人认为她是个不正经的女人 People considered her a bad woman
一点小事就造谣中伤她 and criticized her over minor affairs
甚至连死了也不放过她 They wouldn't let her go even at death
我这部戏 This show is designed to expose
就是希望能揭穿这些人的真面目 the true colours of these people
剧本中 韦明这角色最后是有卖淫的 Wei Ming in the script ended up being a whore
艾霞她是不是... Was Ai Hsia...
人有时是很软弱的 People can sometimes be very weak
但我们都希望能见到坚强的人 But we hope to see strong people
有没有骚扰到你? Did I bother you?
大概有吧 I think so
你很喜欢蹲的吗? Do you enjoy squatting?
我们中国有三分之二的人都习惯蹲着 Two-thirds of people in China are used to that
不是他们喜欢 而是没有办法 They can't help doing it
蹲着等官老爷 They squat to wait for the mandarins
等地主老爷在他们后脑打一巴掌 and landlords to slap them from behind
蹲着受侮辱 蹲着等救星 They squat to get insulted or for help
还有蹲着休息 They squat for a rest too
我记得小时候 I remember
妈妈做活做得累的时候 when mummy was tired of work
她也会蹲着 而我就蹲在她的身旁 she squatted too and I squatted beside her
你有多久没这样蹲着? How long have you not squat?
做了明星之后 After becoming a movie star
不过我初入行的时候 I used to squat the whole day
整天在玻璃棚门口蹲着等拍戏 waiting for shooting
不要高高在上 蹲下来让我看看 don't sit on high Squat and show me
可以借厕所一用吗? May I use your toilet?
在客厅后面 It's behind the sitting room
我刚才在外面站了很久 I stood long outside and saw Hsiao-yu
看见小玉上学 妈去买菜 going to school mummy going to the market
他又去上班 我觉得很有意思 and him going to work That's meaningful
还有没有其他事? Anything else?
你的新房子布置得很漂亮 Your house is beautifully decorated
带我四处参观一下 Show me around
厨房在那边 厕所你看过了 The kitchen's there You've already seen the toilet
妈跟小玉的房间 Mummy and Hsiao-yu in a room
我和季珊的房间 This room is mine and Chu-shan's
我看你所有的家具都是新购置的 All your furniture have been newly bought, right?
是 Yes
我们以前鸿庆坊那些呢? What about those at the old house?
卖光了 一共九十三块钱 All sold for a total of $93
我全都捐给静安寺水陆大会 and donated to the Bubbling Well Buddhist Society
我们的东西一点都没有留下? None left that belonged to us?
没有 No
这些是你以前送给我的 没有啦 These were gifts from you but there's no more
心里呢? 没有我了? Am I no longer in your heart?
偶尔也会想起 Sometimes
但现在已经不重要了 But it's not longer vital
玉英 我想好好的搞点小生意 Ruan, I'm thinking of doing some business
剩下来几个月的津贴 Could you advance the remaining
你能不能一次付给我? few months' allowances to me?
你又在模仿玛莲德烈治 Copying Marlene Dietrich again?
像不像? Does it look like her?
玛莲德烈治 Marlene Dietrich
她天生只能演一些颓废的角色 she's a born decadent star
你的样子比她健康 You look healthier than her
我无法想像要她来演一些贤妻良母 I can't imagine how she'd look as a housewife
工厂女工或者苦难妇女会是怎样 a factory worker or a woman in distress
我不明白为什么人们都说你像她 But why's everybody saying you look like her?
我告诉你为什么 Let me tell you why
那是因为我演的苦难妇女演得很性感 Because I'm sexy playing a woman in distress
千万别把我的《新女性》演得太性感 Don't be too sexy playing my "New Women"
费穆也不介意 Fei Mu doesn't mind
我把他的尼姑演绎得很性感 my playing a sexy nun for him
费穆他太资产 Fei Mu is too capitalist
不要拿我和他相提并论 Don't compare me with him
你以前是个村姑 You were a village woman
曾经为自己生病的儿子 You made wishes to Buddha
和在前线打仗的丈夫 that you'd become a nun
向菩萨许愿 削发为尼 for the safety of your sick son
只求他们太平无事 and husband at war
现在儿子病好了 丈夫也回来了 Now your son's recovered and your husband's safety back
他们苦苦哀求你回去 and they're begging you to return
你回去 还是不回去? Are you going back or not?
以前你牵肠挂肚 You worried only about your family
只知道家庭 丈夫 儿子 husband and son
可是到了这个超脱红尘的世界里 But now in this ethereal world
你的心灵经历了从未有过的安定平静 you experience peace and quiet you never had before
你到底回去 还是不回去? Are you going back or not?
我只要你平静的面孔 All that I need is your peaceful expression
停 可以了 Cut. OK
我哭了 可以吗? I'm crying! OK?
你没有锤心捣肺 安静的流眼泪 好 You weep peacefully without emotion Great
三百六 跑快点 快化妆 360, make up quickly
好了 Okay
莉莉 Lily
你应该说黎莉莉 You should said Lily Li
如果你真的想学国语 If you're keen to learn Mandarin
以后跟我讲话就要说国语 speak it from now on
好呀 黎莉莉 Okay, Lily Li
对了 Right
全联华的人都在说 Everybody at Lienhua said
你昨天拍的那场戏真的哭了 during yesterday's shoot
哭得像泪人一样 you really broke down in tears
他们都差点陪你哭了一场 是吗? They nearly cried with you in sympathy, did they?
你有心事吗? Were you preoccupied?
哪里有心事 Never
演戏就是要像疯了一样吧 Acting is like madness
演员应该是疯子 我就是一个 Actors are madmen. I'm one of them
我不是疯子呀 I'm not a madman

阿阮呢? Where's Ruan?

赛珍 赛珊 周太太 And the losses of Sai-chen
三位小姐输的都归我 Sai-san and Mrs Chou too
我唐季珊有一个原则 I've one principle
不会让女人吃亏的 I won't let girls suffer
你唐先生是个好人呀 You're a good fellow
干什么呀你? What are you doing?
这才是你的真面目 是不是? That's your true face, isn't it?
如果我是妓女 梁赛珍又是妓女 If both Sai-chen and I were courtesans
你会要谁? 你说呀 which one would you take? Say it
你说什么呀? What did you say?
你刚从警察手里救了这个妓女 You saved this prostitute from the police
就趁机要胁 and are threatening her now
脸上堆满淫笑说 Smiling obscenely you say
"你应该怎样来谢我? "How are you going to repay me?
今天不要走了" Don't go away."
你应该怎样来谢我呀? How are you going to repay me?
今天你不要走了 Don't go away
阿阮 你知道今天是 Ruan, you know you can't
逃不出这个大流氓的魔掌 get out of this rascal's clutches
内心虽然是悲愤 脸上却冷若冰霜 Sad in heart, you put on an icy face
你从这里走到桌子 You walk from here to the table

你接到香烟然后在手上弹一弹 You flick it once with a finger
章志直给你点烟 and Chang lights it for you
章志直 Chang
你带着讨好谄媚的神态给阮玲玉点烟 you light it for her insinuatingly
略施小惠 A minor favour
这是男性玩弄女性 It is a man's common trick
主人玩弄奴隶的惯技 to seduce a girl
导演 再来一遍 Director, one more time
演不来 演不来 I can't do it
阿阮 Ruan
你坐到桌上是反抗 sitting on the table means resistance
抽烟也是反抗 and so does smoking
整个姿态都是反抗 The whole posture is resistance
不过这力量太薄弱了 你是很清楚的 But you're too weak-willed and you know it
我希望从你的眼光中可以看到 This should be visible from your eyes
怎么样呀? How's it?
有没有香烟? Got any cigarettes?
我要报复 快救救我! "I want to retaliate. Help me!"
停 Cut!
阿阮 不够呀 你听我再说一次 Ruan, not good enough Listen to me once more
你本来为了救自己的女儿 You were forced into prostitution
才被迫去卖淫 to save your own daughter
但是那些小报记者不但不同情你 but those tabloid reporters didn't pity you
还要落井下石和攻击你 They even scandalized you
你本来要自杀求死 但是现在要生存 You thought of killing yourself but you want to live now
你要控诉 你要反击 You want to accuse, to hit back
我要在你脸上看到这一切 明白吗? Show all this in your face, understand?
你们照刚才做就可以了 Just do as you've just done
再来 Again
准备 Ready
开麦拉 Camera
开始 Action!
我要活 我要报复 I want to live, I want to retaliate
停 Cut!
不够 不够 Not enough, not enough
不够 我要强烈一点 I want you to get stronger
我记得你曾跟我说过 Remember what you said to me
你跟韦明这个角色有很多相似的地方 You have much in common with this role of Wei Ming
你试想想看 Imagine the unfairness
现在生活上对你种种的不公平 surrounding your livelihood
你要把心中的抑郁 Vent all your sad feelings
一下子好像火山爆发的宣泄出来 like volcanic eruptions
我同时在你脸上打字幕 I'll run the subtitles in your
"我要活 我要活" face: "I want to live..."
一个字比一个字大 One word bigger than the other
我要见到你面上的表情一个比一个强 I want to see your expressions
明白吗? one stronger than the other
我不要你有一点保留 There should be no reservations
可以吗? Can you do it?
你们照做就可以了 Just do as you've just done
再来一次 One more time
回原位 Back to position
准备 Ready

家辉 你忘记了揭开床单看看美姬 Tony, you forgot to lift up the bed sheet to see Maggie
拍什么? 难道是我们记者把她害死的 Did reporters drive her to her death?
什么东西! What is this?
太过分了 这分明羞辱我们 走 That's too much. That's an insult to us. Let's go
太不像话 什么玩意! That's unacceptable!
上海新闻公会对贵厂诚恳的要求 The Shanghai Press Union is making a final plea
也可以说是对贵厂的最后通牒 or the ultimatum, to your studio
贵厂《新女性》这部影片 Your studio's "New Women"
对我们记者诬蔑 is libelling our reporters
必须登报向全国记者道歉 You must issue a notice in newspapers to apologize to all the press
而且要保证今后不能产生同样情况 and ensure it won't happen again
这部影片有意侮辱记者 Some shots insulting reporters
部分镜头一定要剪掉 should be deleted
剪吧 剪吧 全段替我剪掉它! Cut, cut, cut the whole part of it!
剪了以后就没人可以看到 After the cut, no one will see
他们在舞厅骗喝骗吃的德性 them sponging in ballrooms
历史会记载的 History will give an account of it
阮小姐 Miss Ruan
你真的要剪吗? Do you really want to cut it?
不剪整部戏会被禁演 The show will be banned if we don't
你不要剪吧 Don't cut it!
刚才那一段 About that segment
阮小姐 大路不通走小路 Miss Ruan, we must lobby
小路不通往地下走 through various channels
现在片子不剪不能上映 The film can't be released without cuts
剪掉后社会上公众舆论 But the cuts may arouse public opinion
一定会站在我们这方面 which would surely be on our side
最后赢的还是我们 The final victory belongs to us
我听说这件事 I heard the Kuomintang was
其实整个记者公会 包括张达民 behind the whole thing
都有国民党在背后策动的 behind Reporters' Union as well as Chang
当时国民党没出面 只透过记者协会 The Kuomintang didn't come out into the open
这记者协会里 It was handled through the Association
有些人就是国民党 through its Kuomintang members
因为《新女性》影片里 The movie "New Women"
大骂和批评记者 was not complimentary to the press
那么记者协会的记者 The press wanted
就出来说这个影片不好 to attack the movie
可是也很难 But it could not find
也不能硬去攻击那个影片 a good excuse
所以就说阮玲玉 这个影片的主角 They turned to Ruan Ling-yu
而阮玲玉本人的私生活很不好 who was notorious for her private life
有桃色新闻 They said Ruan was unsuitable to play
怎么可以演新女性 the role of a new woman
张达民有否给记者公会的人 Did the Association
唆拢去告阮玲玉呢? urge Chang to sue Ruan?
这是两方面一起进行的 The two events proceeded at the same time
吃面包 先吃面包 乖 Eat bread, be nice
什么事呀? What's up?
你自己看! See for yourself
你来迟了 有话快点说 You're late. Speak now
这件事关乎我的生死 This is a matter of life and death
你少赌一场马也不至于会死的 You won't die betting on one race less
为什么现在我对你这么重要? Why do I mean so much to you now?
达民 为什么你要这样做? Ta-min, why are you doing that?
我就睡在这儿 I'll sleep over here
有时候独个儿睡 I now sleep alone
但有时会带舞女回来 now bring a hostess back
她们老是缠着我 问及有关你的事情 They bothered me with questions about you
问我你阮玲玉的事情 and about things between you and me
现在不是很好吗? Aren't things good for us now?
公开了 我省却很多气力 When everything is known I can save my breath
我在你背后从来没做过见不得人的事 I never do anything bad behind you
你在福州 When you were in Foochow
我只是跟唐季珊跳跳舞 吃吃饭 I only danced and ate with Tang Chi-shan
够啦 Enough
达民 我有什么对不起你? Ta-min, have I done anything unfair to you?
我们在律师楼已经讲得一清二楚 We made everything clear in
而且有凭有据 the solicitor's office
甚至你要预支所有的金钱 I even advanced
我全给了你 all the money you asked
是否有人指使你这样做 想陷害我 Did someone instigate you to hurt me?
谁能指使我? Who could've done that?
给钱你不就行了! Money could!
你看 我还爱你的! Look, I'm still in love with you
我不爱你 I don't love you

你跟谁说过? Who did you tell this to?
你串通些什么人来害我? Who did you conspire with to hurt me?
我带你从后门出去 I'll take you out through the back door

阮小姐 你对这则官司新闻有何看法 What do you think of this court case?
听说她妈妈从前在张家做佣人 They say her mummy was a maid at the Changs
做佣人之前呢? Before she was a maid?
《神女》这部电影就是描述她妈妈 "The Goddess" is all about her mother
怪不得 I see
阮小姐 Miss Ruan
阮小姐你好 你想要点什么东西吃? Hello, Miss Ruan, what would you have?
等一等 Wait
好 Okay
你搓得太松了 You made it too loose
我只想问你一件事 I only want to ask you one thing
你能不能带我走? Would you take me away?
我们一起去香港 Let's go together to Hong Kong
去了还不是要回来 We still have to come back
可以 Yes
结了婚才回来 We'll return only after getting married
只要你舍得同居的舞女和乡下的老婆 If only you don't mind leaving your wife and mistress
你刚才说过只是问一件事 You said you'd ask me one thing only
我在这里还有事情要做 I still have something to do here
耀宗 这本可以了 我们看下一本 This is OK. Let's watch the next reel
好呀 Okay
张嘉辉 替我拿下一本来 Get the next one
阿关 其实你觉得蔡楚生是没胆量 Do you think Tsai Chu-sheng
还是真的是共产党 had to stay in Shanghai because
要留在上海办事呢? he was timid or because he was a Communist?
我个人觉得他不够勇气 Personally, I think he had
难听一点是没种 no courage or guts
不够敢爱敢恨 He dared not love or hate
阮玲玉跟他是否有一段真实的感情? Was it true love between him and Ruan?
我想问阮玲玉是否真的爱他 I'd like to ask her about it
其实这个问题很多人都提过 In fact, many have raised this question
在找资料时 黎莉莉跟我们说过 When researching, Lily Li told us
拍《新女性》的时候 she often saw Ruan in the makeup room
常在化妆间碰到阮玲玉 when filming "New Women" and
听到她哼着那首《蓝天使》的歌 heard her hum that "Blue Angel" tune
但那是在阮玲玉死后才意识到 But she realized the delicate affair
蔡楚生和阮玲玉有这段微妙的感情 between Tsai and Ruan only after her death
我觉得阮玲玉的死 I feel Ruan Ling-yu's death was
主要是跟张 唐的桃色新闻绝对有关 linked with romantic news about Chang Ta-min and Tang Chi-shan
如果她跟蔡楚生可以再发展 If she and Tsai dared to go
他们够胆再发展那段爱情 on with their affair
她会否选择这条路? 我觉得不一定会 would she have taken another course? I think not
为何他们当时没胆量呢 Why didn't they have the courage to?
因为他们已经有那么多桃色新闻了 Because of their romantic news
舆论已经那么厉害了 They were having enough bad press
对 如果再一起的话... Right, if another rumour spread
所以问题就出在她是个明星 So the problem is she was a movie star
如果她只是个普通的女孩子 To an ordinary girl
那种三角关系我觉得很普通 a love triangle was common place
就算四角关系也很普通 很私人的事 Even a quadrangular one wouldn't have raised a ripple
无论你是快乐 是痛苦 You keep your tears and joy private
痛苦到要自杀也好 都是私人的事 and to the extent of suicide
问题出在她是一个明星 是公众人物 But she was a movie star and a public figure
舆论变成了多重的压力 The pressure in that era was
特别在那个年代 especially heavy
是呀 Yes
自己作为一名艺人 我觉得人言可畏 As an artist, I hate to be maligned
舆论那东西不分任何年代的 Rumours are as horrible in any age
现在同样那么可怕 It's still just as scary now
当演员并不代表要把所有私事公开 A movie star doesn't need to make her private life public
别人知道后还要歪曲事实 愈描愈黑 What an ordeal
用一种负面的态度去说 if the public twists the facts
当你听到的时候是很难受的 and turn black into white
如果那件事是事实 When your private life
是你很私人的事 被人知道了 spills into public domain
你会感觉好像被人一层一层的揭开 you feel you're being stripped of everything bit by bit
看见里面 那种感觉是很痛苦的 that's the most traumatic experience
所以我很明白阮玲玉当时的心情 So I fully understand how Ruan felt then
我很快乐 I'm very happy
那个年代阮玲玉遇到那种事就自杀 She killed herself under such circumstances
如果你遇到同样的事 你会否自杀? Would you do the same if you experienced it today?
我想我第一个反应... I think my first reaction...
我给人的感觉是不在乎 People may think I try to play it cool
但我不高兴是我个人的事 I may be sad but it's my business
我一定不会让他们有满足感 But I won't let them know it
让他们知道我不高兴 更何况是自杀 I wouldn't take my own life
要死 我自己会选择死 If I died, it would be for myself
但不是因为其他人 not because of other people
后天你穿什么衣服? What would you wear day after tomorrow?
后天? Day after tomorrow?
后天要开庭了 It's the hearing
我不会去的 I won't attend it
我穿黑西装 打条墨绿色的领带 I'll wear a black coat and a dark green necktie
衬你那件新做的旗袍 to match your new gown
他妈的 我就是要给上海人看看 Damn, I mean to show to the Shanghai people
我们是对高贵的奸夫淫妇 怎么样? that we're a pair of noble adulterers
我们是奸夫淫妇? We're adulterers
你在广州有老婆 You've a wife and have an affair with Chang Chih-yun and me
又跟张织云 又和我 你是奸夫 You're an adulterer
我明知道你有老婆 我要跟你 I'm an adulteress, because
我就是淫妇 I followed you knowing you're married
穿得再漂亮也没有分别 To get dressed beautifully makes no difference
如果我们不结婚就要分开 We must part if we don't get married
如果不分开 就算我们告赢了张达民 If we don't part you're still an adulterer
你还是奸夫 even though we win over Ta-min
闭嘴 Shut up!

不要再退缩了 Don't back out anymore
我知道你后天上庭 I know you must be in court day after tomorrow
不过明天你可以先站出来 You can stand out

可以让年青的女学生借镜 as a warning to young female students
我也有错 I'm also to blame
都说出来 Pour it all out
把我们自己的软弱 虚荣心 our weak points and pride
喜欢 苟延残喘 都掏干净 and desire to eke out an existence
明天早上十点 我来车接你 I'll pick you up with a car at 10am tomorrow
不用 我自己去 That won't be necessary I'll go by myself

六嫂 我们一定会来的 Chu-chu, we won't fail

不然怎么能够迷死他们 Only then can I bewitch them
是吗? Is that so?
好 Good

就是要庆祝我们女人 To celebrate us girls for rising up
从五千年的男人历史中站起来 from a centuries-old men-dominated history
不行 不行 我还是讲上海话好了 No, no, we'd better speak Shanghaiese

我们男人倒下去了 and we men are falling down
女人站起来 When women stand up
不表示男人一定要倒下去 it doesn't necessarily mean men are falling down
大家可以一起站 这个世界够大呀 We can stand up together in this large world
费导演 你讲得对 讲得非常对 You're right, Director Fei
费穆 你真是个好人 Fei Mu, you really are a nice guy
那我呢? 我算不算是个好人? What about me? Can I be called good?
她问我 "我是不是一个好人?" She asked me if she's good
我回答她 不管别人怎么讲 I told her, "all your friends believe you're good regardless
你所有的朋友 全都相信你是个好人 of what others say"
我甚至认为 你是个太好的好人 I'm mainly of the opinion you're too nice
他就是教我反抗的导演 He's the director who taught me how to resist
那喝酒算是反抗吗? Drinking means resistance
反抗 Resist!

卜导演 Director Pu
你改变了我两趟 You transformed me twice
第一趟你让我当明星 making me a movie star
还有一趟你让我当革命女性 and making me a female revolutionary
我假使能再改变你一次... If I could change you once more...
我特地吻他最久 I kissed him the longest
因为我知道他是个最害羞的导演 because he's the most shy
我拍《新女性》最后一场时太激动了 I was too excited when filming the last scene in "New Women"
我哭到不能停下来 I broke up sobbing
他怕难为情怕到不敢揭开被单来看我 He was so shy that he dared not take off my blanket to see me
大家都在看我们 They're all looking at us
我步入社会做事到现在 I've learnt one thing
学会了一件事 since coming to society

那么在你背后呢? When not in your presence?
你听不见 You can't hear it
我现在一死 人家一定以为我是畏罪 People will say I committed suicide out of guilt
其实我何罪可畏? But I was guilty of nothing
这个就是我唐季珊的女人 This is my woman
我一死何足惜呢 Death means nothing to me
不过还是怕人言可畏 人言可畏 Still I'm afraid of malicious gossip

外界不明白 还以为是我对不起他 People might even think I did him a wrong turn
还有什么办法好想呢? What else can I do
唯有一死了之 except to die?
我一死 何足惜呢? I'm not afraid of death
不过还是怕人言可畏 人言可畏 My only fear is the malicious gossip
