Mildred Pierce reporting:
米尔德里德·皮尔斯报道：
I was there. I saw it.
我亲眼目睹了一切
I saw women thrown down on Fifth Avenue
我看见第五大道的妇女被推倒在地
And raped in their mink coats
身着貂皮大衣却遭凌辱
By blacks and whites and yellows
施暴者不分肤色
While street urchins stripped
街头流浪儿趁机
The rings from their fingers.
夺走她们指间的戒指
A young officer stood nearby.
一名年轻军官站在一旁
"Aren't you going to do something?" I demanded.
"你难道不打算做点什么吗？"我质问道
He looked at me and yawned.
他看着我 打了个哈欠
I found Colonel Bradshaw bivouacking in the Ritz.
我在丽兹酒店找到了正在露营的布拉德肖上校
I told him bluntly what was going on.
我直截了当地告诉他正在发生的事
His eyes glinted shamelessly as he said,
他的眼中闪烁着无耻的光芒 说道
"Well you have to take a broad
"这个嘛 你得从大局
General view of things."
纵观全局概览
And that's what I have been doing.
这就是我一直在做的事
Taking a broad general view of
从一个宏观的视角审视
American troops raping and murdering
美军士兵**平民百姓
Helpless civilians while
当无助的民众遭受**
American officers stand around and yawn.
美军军官们却打着哈欠袖手旁观
"Been at it a long time, lady.
"我们干这行很久了，女士"
It's the old army game from here to eternity."
这是自古以来的军队把戏 永无止境
It pays to pay the boys off.
花钱打点才能息事宁人
Tacitus describes a typical scene...
塔西佗笔下描绘的典型场景...
"If a woman or a good looking boy
"若有女子或俊美少年
Fell into their hands they were torn
落入他们手中 便会在争夺中
To pieces in the struggle for possession
被撕成碎片
And the survivors were left
幸存者最终
To cut each others' throats."
也会自相残杀"
"Well, there's no need to be that messy.
"何必搞得这么血腥"
Why waste a good-looking boy?
何必糟蹋一个俊俏少年
Mother loving American Army run by old women,
由老妇掌管的美国军队
Many of them religious, my God;
其中不乏虔诚教徒 天啊
Hanging Amercian soldiers
那些强奸杀害平民的
For raping and murdering civilians..."
美军士兵被处以绞刑
Old Sarge bellows from here to eternity.
老军士的怒吼响彻云霄
"WHAT THE BLOODY F**KING HELL ARE CIVILIANS FOR?
"平民百姓活着还有什么意义？"
SOLDIERS' PAY."
不过是为士兵发饷的借口
