经典英语戏剧剧本：尤金•奥尼尔-毛猿
The Hairy Apes毛猿
Scene VII
第七幕
SCENE Nearly a month later. An I. W. W. local near the waterfront，showing the interior of a front room on the ground floor, and the street outside. Moonlight on the narrow street， buildings massed in black shadow. The interior of the room，which is general assembly room，office, and reading room, resembles some dingy settlement boys club. A desk and high stool are in one corner. A table with papers, stacks of pamphlets，chairs about it, is at center. The whole is decidedly cheap, banal, commonplace and unmysterious as a room could well be. The secretary is perched on the stool making entries in a large ledger. An eye shade casts his face into shadows. Eight or ten men，longshoremen，iron workers，and the like, are grouped about the table.Two are playing checkers. One is writing a letter. Most of them are smoking pipes. A big signboard is on the wall at the rear, "Industrial Workers of the World- Local No. 57."
场景将近一个月之后。靠近岸边的一个世界产联分部，可以见到底层的一间客厅和外面的街道。月光照在窄窄的街道上，高楼形成大片的黑影。客厅的内部，看上去既是会议厅，办公室又是阅览室，有点类似那些简陋遐遇的少年俱乐部。角落处是一张办公桌和一把高凳子。中间还有张桌子，上面是报纸，一挥螺的宣传小册子，旁边是几把椅子。无疑，整个屋子档次很低，平俗，整脚而且毫无新意。秘书高坐在凳子上，在一个大账簿上登记着什么。一个眼罩遮住了他的脸。约八或十个人，有码头工人，钢铁工人等人，都围在那张桌子前。两个人在下跳棋，一个人在写信，大多数人在抽烟斗。一个大招牌挂在后面的墙上，“世界产业工人联合会—第 57地方分会”。
(Yank Comes down the street outside. He is dressed as in Scene Five.
扬克:(从外面的街道走进来。他穿得和第五场里一样。)
Secretary: (turning around on his stool) What the devil is that- someone knocking? (shouts) Come in，why don't you?
秘书:(在他的凳子上转过身)那究竟是什么—有人敲门，(喊)进来啊，为什么不呢.
Yank: (blurts out) Hello.
扬克:(脱口说出)好啊。
Men: Hello.
大家:好啊。
Yank: I tought I'd bumped into de wrong dump.
扬克:我以为我走错了。
Secretary: Maybe you have. Are you a member?
秘书:也许是错了。你是会员吗?
Yank: No, not yet. That's what I come for-to join.
扬克:不，还不是。那就是我为什么来这儿—我要加入。
Secretary: That's easy. What's your job-long shore?
秘书:那容易。你干哪一行—码头上的?
Yank: No. Fireman-stoker on de liners.
扬克:不是，烧火工—在邮轮上烧火。
Secretary: (with satisfaction) Welcome to our city. Glad to know you people are waking up at last. We haven't got many members in your line.
秘书:(满意地)欢迎来到我们社区。很高兴你们这些人终于醒悟过来了。在你们这行里，我们的会员不多。
Yank: No. They're all dead to de world.
扬克:嗯。他们对世事全都麻木了。
Secretary: Well，you can help to wake . What's your name? I'll make out your card.
秘书:那你倒可以帮着唤醒他们。你叫什么名字?我给你填张卡片。
Yank: (confused) Name? Let me think.
扬克:(困惑)名字，让我想想。
Secretary: (sharply) Don't you know your own name?
秘书:(尖锐地)你连自己的名字都不知道吗?
Yank: Sure; but I been just Yank for so long-Bob, that's it- Bob Smith.
扬克:当然知道，只是他们叫我扬克太久了—罗伯特，对了—罗伯特·史密斯。
Secretary: (writing) Robert Smith，(fills out the rest of card) Here you are. Cost you half a dollar.
秘书:(写)罗伯特·史密斯。(填好卡片的其他项)给你。要交半块钱。
Yank: Is dat all-four bits? Dat's easy，(gives the secretary the money)
扬克:就那么多吗—四个十二分半?那容易。(把钱给了秘书)
Secretary: (throwing it in drawer) Thanks. Well，make yourself at home. No introductions needed. There's literature on the table. Take some of those pamphlets with you to distribute aboard ship. They may bring results. Sow the seed, only go about it right. Don't get caught and fired. We got plenty out of work. What we need is men who can hold their jobs-and work for us at the same time.
秘书:(把钱扔到抽屉里)谢谢。好了，随便点，不用我介绍了，桌上有文件。带几本小册子去船上发发，那就有效了。撒下种子，但要做得适当，别被抓住给开除了。我们中失业的人太多了。我们要有工作的人—同时又能替我们工作。
Yank: Sure.
扬克:当然。
Secretary: (looking at him-curiously) What did you knock for? Think we had a coon in uniform to open doors?
秘书:(看着他—好奇地)你为什么敲门呢，不会认为我们这儿有个穿制服的黑鬼给你开门吧，
Yank: No. I tought it was locked.-and date wander give me the once-over trou a peep一hole or some to see if I was right.
扬克:那倒没有。我以为门是锁着的—你们会从门孔或其他什么地方先大概看看我是不是对路，
Secretary: (alert and suspicious but with an easy laugh) Think we were running a crap game? That door is never locked. What put that in your nut?
秘书:(普觉.怀疑地，但却坦然一笑)以为我们是开赌场啊，门从来都不锁的，你怎会有那种念头呢?
Yank:(with a knowing grin，convinced that this is all camouflage, a part of the secrecy) Dis burg is full of bulls，a’n't it?
扬克:(心知肚明地一笑，确信这是一种伪装，是秘密的一部分)这一带条子多，不是吗?
Secretary: (sharply) What have the cops got to do with us? We're breaking no laws.
秘书:(尖锐地)条子和我们有什么关系啊。我们又没犯法。
Yank: (with a knowing wink) Sure. You wouldn't for worlds. Sure. I'm wise to dat.
扬克:(会心一笑)当然，你们不会的。当然，我很清楚。
Secretary: You seem to be wise to a lot of stuff none of us knows about.
秘书:好像你知道很多我们自己都不知道的事儿。
Yank: (with another wink) Aw, days aw right，see. (then made a bit resentful by the suspicious glances from all sides) Aw, can it! Yours needn't put me trou de degree. Can't yours see I belong? Sure I'm regular.) stick, get me? I'll shoot de works for yours. Day s why I wanted to join in.
扬克:(又挤挤眼)啊，好啦，我明白。(然后被四面投来的怀疑目光弄得有点气恼)哦，够了!你们别那样看我。难道你们不明白我顶用吗，当然，我是个牢靠的人。我会坚持，懂吗?我会替你们工作—这就是我要加入的原因。
Secretary: (breezily, feeling him out) That's the right spirit. Only are you sure you understand what you've joined? It's all plain and above board;still，some guys get a wrong slant on us. (sharply) What's your notion of the purpose of the I. W. W.?
秘书:(一边说笑着，一边试探他)这种精神可嘉。但是你确切知道你加入的是什么吗?这里一切都是明明白白可以拿到台面上的;但是有些家伙还是对我们看走了眼。(尖锐地)你认为世界产联的宗旨是什么?
Yank: Aw, I know all about it.
扬克:哦，那个我知道的。
Secretary: (sarcastically) Well，give us some of your valuable information.
秘书:(讽刺地)那么，给我们说说你那些宝贵的消息吧。
Yank: (cunningly) I know enough not to speak outa my toin. (then resentfully again) Aw, say! I'm regular. I'm wise to de game. I know you got to watch your step with a stranger. For all yours know, I might be a plain-clothes dick, or some，days what you're tinghing huh? Aw, forget it! I belong，see? Ask any guy
down to de docks if I don't.
扬克:(狡黔地)我完全明白说话要懂得避讳。(接着忿忿地)啊，我说，我可是个牢靠的人。我清楚这一套。我也知道和陌生人打交道得小心。也许你们认为，我是个便衣探子或什么的，你们就是那样想的，嗯?啊，算了吧!我顶用，明白吗?去码头上随便问问看我行不行。
Secretary: Who said you didn't?
秘书:谁说你不行的?
Yank: After I'm 'vitiated, I'll show yuh.
扬克:等我入了会，让你们瞧瞧。
Secretary: (astounded) Initiated? There's no initiation.
秘书:(惊讶地)入会，这里没有入会仪式。
Yank: (disappointed) there no password-no grip nor nothing?
扬克:(失望地)难道没有暗号—没有握手式，什么都没有吗，
Secretary: What'd you think this is-the Elks-or the Black Hand?
秘书:你认为这是什么，—糜鹿兄弟会—或者黑手党?
Yank; De Elks，hell! De Black Hand，day a lot of yellow back sticking Now. Dis is a man's gang,
扬克:糜鹿兄弟会?见鬼!黑手党，不就是一帮背后捅刀子的意大利佬吗?不是，这是个好汉帮，对吧，
Secretary: You said it! That's why we stand on our two feet in the open. We got no secrets.
秘书:叫你说准了!这就是为什么我们能两条腿站得直，因为我们行事光明磊落，没有秘密。
Yank: (surprised but admiringly) You mean to say you always run wide open-like dis?
扬克:(惊讶但带有佩服地)你是说所有的事情都光明正大—就像这样。
Secretary: Exactly.
秘书:是的。
Yank: Den yuh sure got your moive wit you!
扬克:那你们可都真是有种的汉子，
Secretary: (sharply) Just what was it made you want to join us? Come out with that straight.
秘书:(尖锐地)快说你为什么要加入我们吧，实话实说。
Yank: You call me? Well，I got noive，too! Here's my hand. You wander blow things up, don't you? Well，days me I belong!
扬克:你说我吗?好吧，我也有种!我来帮忙的。你们不是要搞爆炸吗，嗯?对，交给我{我项用
Secretary:(with pretended carelessness) You mean change the unequal conditions of society by legitimate direct action-or with dynamite?
秘书:(假装随随便便地)你是说改变不平等的社会条件用合法的直接行动—还是用炸药，
Yank: Dynamite! Blow it offer de steel-all de cages-all de factories, steamers, buildings，jails-de Steel Trust and all date makes it go.
扬克:用炸药啊，把它从地球上炸掉—钢铁—所有的笼子—所有的工厂，汽船，楼房，监狱—那个钢铁托拉斯和所有让它转的东西。
Secretary:So-that's your idea，eh? And did you have any special job in that line you wanted to propose to us. (He makes a sign to the men，who get up cautiously one by one and group behind Yank)
秘书:峨—那就是你的想法，嗯，那么，在你那一点上还有什么其他特别的活动，可以提点建议给我们的吗?(对其他人使了个眼色，他们一个接一个小心地站起来，聚拢到扬克身后)
Yank: (boldly) Sure，I' II come out wet it. I’II show your I'm one of de gang. Dere date millionaire guy，Douglas-
扬克:(无畏地)当然，我想出来了。我要让你们看看我也是这帮里的。那个家伙，百万富翁，叫道格拉斯的，
Secretary: President of the Steel Trust, you mean? Do you want to assassinate him?
秘书:你是说，钢铁托拉斯的总经理?你要行刺他吗，
Yank: Now，date don't get you nothing I mean blow up de factory，de works，where he makes de steel. Days what I’m after-to blow up de steel，knock all de steel in de world up to de moon. Date fix things! (eagerly, with a touch of bravado) I’II do it by me lonesome! I'll show you! Tell me where his woiks is, how to git there，all de dope. Gimme de stuff, de old butter-2nd watch me do de rest! Watch de smoke and see it move! I don't give a damn if dey nab me-long as it's done! I'll solve life for it-and give 'em de laugh! And I'1l write her a letter and tell her de hairy ape done it. Dat'll square tings.
扬克:不，那没什么用。我是说炸掉那些工厂、工程，他们炼钢的那些地方。那就是我想干的—炸掉那些钢铁，把那些钢铁都炸到月球上去。那就解决问题啦!(渴求地，带着点虚张声势)我要一个人自己干!我要叫你们瞧瞧!告诉我他的工厂在哪儿，怎么去，还有所有其他事。给我炸药—别光说漂亮话—接下来就看我吧!看看
那黑烟，看看他们飞起来，我才不怕他们抓住我—只要做完这事!我能坐一辈子牢—好好地嘲笑他们。我还要给她写封信，告诉她那是毛猿干的。那就扯平了。
Secretary:Very interesting. (He gives a signal. The men， huskies all，throw themselves on Yank and before he knows it they have his legs and arms pinioned. But he is too flabber-gasted to make a struggle, anyway. They feel him over for weapons.)
秘书:非常有意思。(他发了令。那些人，都是壮汉，全身扑压到扬克身上，在他反应过来之前，已把他的手脚都绑缚上了。然而他是这样地目瞪口呆，以至于未做任何反抗。他们在他全身上下搜武器)
Man:No gat, no knife. Shall we give him what's what and put the boots to him?
那些人:没枪，也没刀。我们要告诉他真相再把他赶走吗?
Secretary: No. He isn't worth the trouble we'd get into. He's too stupid. (He comes closer and laughs mockingly in Yank's face) Ho-ho! By God, this is the biggest joke they've put up on us yet. Hey, you Joke! Who sent you-Burns or Pinkerton? No, by God， you're such a bonehead. I'll bet you're in the secret service! Well， you dirty spy, you rotten agent provocator, you can go back and tell whatever skunk is paying you blood一money for betraying your brothers that he's wasting his coin. You couldn't catch a cold. And tell him that all he'll ever get on us, or ever has got, is just his own sneaking plots that he's framed up to put us in jail. We are what our manifesto says we are，neither more or less-and we'll give him a copy of that any time he calls. And as for you-Oh，hell，what's the use of talking? You're a brainless ape.
秘书:不，他还不值那些个麻烦。他太蠢了。(他凑近些，对着扬克的脸嘲讽地笑着)嗬—嗬，看在上帝的份上，这可是他们和我们开得最大的玩笑。喂，你这开玩笑的，谁叫你来的—彭斯还是平克顿，不，你是个傻蛋，我敢打赌你是秘密机关的人，哼!你这肮脏的特务，你这坏透了的探子，拿了几个钱就出卖弟兄们，不管是谁让你来的，回去告诉那个混账，这是白费钱。你什么也得不到的。还要告诉他，他想要识破我们或者已经识破我们，只不过是他阴谋诡计想把我们投到监狱里。我们就是我们的宣言所说的，不多不少一—什么时候他来，我们都能送他一份。至于你嘛—噢，见鬼!跟你说什么呢?你这没脑子的人猿。
Yank: (aroused by the word to fierce but futile struggles) What's dat, you Sheeny bum, you!
扬克:(被那个字眼激怒了，激烈而徒劳地挣扎)你说什么，你这犹太流氓，你!
Secretary: Throw him out，boys. (In spite of his struggles， this is done with gusto and ec lat. Propelled by several parting kicks.)
秘书:把他扔出去，小子倪尽管他在挣扎，他们还是晗喝着、兴致勃勃地把他扔了出去，还被踢了几脾。)
Yank: (bitterly) So dem bolds don't think I belong，neider. Aw，to hell wit 'em! Dey're in de wrong pew-de same old bull- soapboxes and Salvation Army-no guts! Cut out an hour offen de job a day and make me happy! Gimme a dollar more a day and make me happy! Tree square a day, and cauliflowers in de front yard- ekal rights-a woman and kids-a lousey vote-and I'm all fixed for Jesus，huh? Aw，hell! What does dat get yuh? Dis ting’s in your inside, but it ain't your belly. Feedin’your face-sinkers and coffee-dat don't touch it. It's way down-at de bottom. You can't grab it, and you can't stop it. It moves, and everything moves. It stops and de whole woild stops. Days me now-I don't tick, see?一I'm a busted Ingersoll，days what. Steel was me，and I owned de woild. Now I ain't steel，and de woild owns me. Aw, hell I can't see-it's all dark, get me? It's all wrong! (He turns a bitter mocking face up like an ape gibbering at the moon.) Say, youse up dere，Man in de Moon，yuh look so wise, gimme de answer, huh? Slip me de inside dope, de information right from de stable-where do I get off at, huh?
扬克:(辛酸地)所以连那些家伙也认为我没用。唉，见他们的鬼去!他们站错了地方·一一还是那老一套一一肥皂箱演说和救世军—没种!一天少工作一个钟头，让我快乐吧，一天多给一块钱，让我快乐吧!一天三餐饭，花菜种前院—权利平等—老婆和孩子—一张倒霉的选票—那我就可以等着见上帝啦 哦，见鬼!那能带
给你什么。问题是在你1}1部。不是你的肚子。喂你的嘴一一炸面圈和咖啡—那沾不上边。一一它在下面—在底部。你抓不住它，也不能叫它停下。它劝，一切都跟着动;它停，世界都停下来。现在那就是我—我不想了。懂吗，—我是败了的殷格索尔，就那么回事。我曾经是钢铁，全世界都是我的。现在我不是了，一i}= 界控制了我。嗽，见鬼!我不明白—太黑暗了，懂吗?这一切全错了!(他抬起一张苦苦嘲笑着的脸，像一只那月亮上的，你们看叔来对着月亮叭里咕噜说话的人猿)我倒聪明，告诉我答案吧。呢s把那些内息都告诉我吧—我该从哪儿脱身呐，呢?
A policeman: (who has come up the street in time to hear this last-with grim humor) You'll get off at the station，you boob, if you don't get up out of that and keep moving.
警察:(从街上走过来，刚好听到这最后一句话—带着无情的幽默)你到警察局脱身吧。你这笨蛋，还不学清醒点儿，赶快离开这儿。
Yank: Sure! Lock me up! Put me in a cage! Dat's de only answer you know. G'wan，lock me up!
扬克:不错，把我锁起来}把我关在笼子里!那就是你们的答案?快，把我关起来吧!
Policeman:What you been doin’?
警察:你犯了什么事?
Yank: Enuf to gimme life for! I was born，see? Sure, days de charge. Write it in de blotter. I was born，get me!
扬克:足够关一辈子了!我生在这人世，明白吗?没错，那就是罪名。记在你的本子上吧。我活在人世了，懂吗，
Policeman: (jocosely) God pity your old woman! But I've no time for kidding. You're soused. I'd run you in but it's too long a walk to the station. Come on now, get up, or I'll fan your ears with this club. Beat it now! (He hauls Yank to his feet)
警察:(开玩笑地)上帝怜悯你母亲吧!但我没时间跟你开玩笑。你醉了。如果不是到局里的路太长，我就把你带走了。快点起来吧，不然我就用这棍子扇你耳光了。快滚吧!(他把扬克拖起来)
Yank: (in a vague mocking tone) Say, where do I go from here?
扬克:(模模糊糊的嘲讽口气)我该上哪儿去呢?
Policeman: (giving him a push-with a grin，indifferently) Go to hell.
警察:(推操了他一下，咧嘴一笑，冷漠地)到地狱去吧。
Scene VIII
第八幕
Scene: Twilight of the next day. The monkey house at the Zoo. On the one cage a sign from which the word "gorilla" stands out. The gigantic animal himself is seen squatting on his haunches on a bench in much the same attitude as Rodin's "Thinker." Yank enters from the left. Immediately a chorus of angry chattering and screeching breaks out. The gorilla turns his eyes but makes no sound or move.
场景第二天黄昏。动物园的猴房。有个笼子上挂了个牌子，上面写着“大猩猩”。那个庞大的动物蹲在个长凳上，样子就像罗丹的“沉思者”。扬克从左上。顿时爆发出一阵愤怒的咯吱声和尖叫声。大猩猩转过眼睛，但没动弹也没作声。
Yank: (with a hard, bitter laugh) Welcome to your city, huh? Hail，hail，de gang's all here! Say, yuh’re some hard一looking guy, aren't you? l seen lots of tough nuts dat de gang called gorillas, but you're de foist real one l ever seen.

Dat was pretty, too-all red and pink and green. I was lookin' at de skyscrapers-steel-and all de ships cumin' in, sailing out, all over de oith-and dey was steel, too. De sun was warm，dey wasn't no clouds，and dere was a breeze blowing Sure, it was great stuff. I got it aw right- what Paddy said about dot bein'de right dope-on'y I couldn't get in it, see? I couldn't belong in dot. It was over my head. And I kept tinkin’-and den I beat it up here to see what youse was like. And I waited till dey was all gone to git yuh alone. Say, how d'yuh feel sittin’in dot pen all de time, having to stand for 'em cumin 'and starin'at yuh-de white-faced， skinny tarts and de boobs what marry 'em-makin 'fun of you, laughin at yuh，gittin’scared of yuh-damn 'em! (The gorilla rattles the bars of his cage and snarls. All the other monkeys set up an angry chattering in the darkness. Yank goes on excitedly.) Sure! Dat's de way it hits me, too. On'y yuh're lucky, see? Yuh don't belong wit 'em and yuh know it. But me, I belong wit 'em-but I don't, see? Dey don't belong wet me, days what. Get me? Tinkin' is hard-(He passes one hand across his forehead with a painful gesture. The gorilla growls impatiently. Yank goes on gropingly.) It's dis way, what I'm drivin'at. Youse can sit and dope dream in de past, green woods, de jungle and de rest of it. Den yuh belong and dey don't. Den yuh kin laugh at 'em, see? Yuh're de champ of de woild. But me-I ain't got no past to fink in, nor nothin' dot's coming'，on'y what's now-and dot don't belong. Sure, you're de best off! Yuh can't tink, can yuh?
You can't talk neider. But I kin make a bluff at talking and thinking一 almost get away wet it-almost!一and days where de joker comes in. (He laughs.) I ain't on oith and I ain't in heaven，get me? I'm in de middle trying to separate 'em，taking all de woist punches from bot' of 'em. Maybe days what dey call hell, huh? But you, you're at de bottom. You belong! Sure! You're de only one in de woild dat does, yuh lucky stiff! (The gorilla growls proudly.) And days why dey gotter put yuh in a cage, see? (The gorilla roars angrily.) Sure! You get me.
扬克:(带着苦涩刺耳的笑)欢迎来到我们社区，呢?好啊，好啊，这一帮全在这儿呢!我说，你看起来真结实啊，不是吗，我见过许多被称为猩猩的硬汉子，但你是我见到第一个真家伙。你的胸脯，肩膀，那胳臂，那手掌，可真都够棒的，我打赌你一拳就能把他们都打倒，当然，我懂你的意思。你在挑战全世界吗，我说的那些你都有，虽然你不会说话。你怎么会不懂我的话呢，我们不都是同一个俱乐部的吗，毛猿俱乐部?(他们互相看着—顿了顿)她看着我时，你就是她看见的，那个白脸妹子!对她来说.我就是你，懂吗，只是在签子外面—逃出去的—随便就可以弄死她，懂吗?那就是她的想法。她不知道我也在笼子里—比你还悲惨—当然—那个情形—因为你还有机会逃出去—但我呢—(他糊涂了)嗽，见鬼!这都错了，不是吗?(停顿)你是想知道我在这儿干什么，嗯?从昨起，我就在巴特里公园那长凳子上躺着。没错，我看见太阳升起来。那真漂亮—全是红的、粉的、绿的。我看着那摩天楼—钢铁—还有那些出来进去的船，到全世界的—它们也是钢的。阳光暖和极了，没有云却有阵小风。当然，那可真不错。我完全恤了—那些是好酒，派迪是对的—只是那时我没明白过来，懂吗?我也不属于那个地方，它罩在我头顶上。于是我一直想—后来我想到要来看看你是什么样的。我到他们都走了，来单独找你。我说，你觉得在那里面怎么样，忍受那些人来瞪着眼看着你—那些白脸的，骨瘦如柴的裱子和她们的鑫男人—拿你开心，嘲笑你，又被你吓跑?去他们的!(大猩猩摇晃笼子上的栅栏，啤叫。其他的猿猴在黑暗中发出愤怒的咯吱声。扬克激动得继续着)对，他们就是那样打击我的。但是你很走运，懂吗?你不和他们一伙的，这你知道。可我呢?我就是他们一伙的—但我进不去，性吗?他们不让我进去，就是那样，懂吗?思考真累啊—(他用一只手擦擦前额，做了个痛苦的手势。大猩猩不耐烦地啤叫了一声。扬克思索着，继续说)就是这样，这就是我想说的。你可以坐在这儿，梦想着过去，绿树林呀，丛林还有其他的一切。在那儿你顶用，他们却不。这样你就可以嘲笑他们，明白吗?你就是世界冠军。但我呢—我没有过去，也没有将来，只有现在—但是那不顶用。当然，你是最好的!你不能思想，对吧?你也不能说话。但我可以拿话语和思想吓唬人—几乎就能过关—几乎!—但这也就是开玩笑的地方。(他笑)我不在地球上，也不在夭堂，懂吗?我在中间试图要分开它们，却受到两方面最惨烈地攻击。也许这就是他们说的地狱，呢?但你呢，你在最底层，你项用!当然!你是世界上唯一顶用的，你这走运的家伙!(大猩猩傲慢地啤叫)那就是他们为什么把你关在笼子里。懂吗?(大猩猩愤怒地咆哮)当然。你懂我竞思!
It beats it when you try to think it or talk it-it's way down- deep-behind-you 'me we feel it. Sure! Bot' nembers of dis club! (He laughs-then in a savage tone.) What de hell! T' hell wet it! A little action, days our meat! Dat belongs! Knock 'em down and keep busting gem till dey croaks you wet a gat-wit steel! Sure! Are you game? Dey've looked at you，ain't dey-in a cage? Wanter get even? Wanter wind up like a sport 'stead of croaking slow in dere? (The gorilla roars an emphatic affirmative. Yank goes on with a sort of furious exaltation.) Sure! You're regular! You'll stick to de finish! Me and you，huh?一bot' members of this club! We'll put up one last star bout dat'll knock gem offen deir seats! Dey'll have to make de cages stronger after we're trou! Pardon from de governor! Step out and shake hands! I'll take yuh for a walk down Fif' Avenoo. We'll knock 'em offen de oith and croak wit de band playing .Come on， Brother. (The gorilla scrambles gingerly out of his cage. Goes to yank and stands looking at him. Yank keeps his mocking tone-holds out his hand.)Shake-de secret grip of our order. (Something, the tone of mockery, perhaps, suddenly enrages the animal. With a spring he wraps his huge arms around Yank in a murderous hug. There is a crackling snap of crushed ribs-a gasping cry, still mocking, from Yank.) Hey, I didn't say, kiss me. Say-dey oughter match him-wit Zybszko. He got me, aw right. I'm trou. Even him didn't think I belonged, (then，with sudden passionate despair) Christ, where do I get off at? Where do I fit in? (checking himself as suddenly) Aw, what de hell! No squaking ，see! No quittin, get me! Croak wet your boots on! (He grabs hold of the bars of the cage and hauls himself painfully to his feet-looks around him bewilderedly-forces a mocking laugh.) In de cage, huh?
