Just a minute Thomas. Christopher Sly is drunk, but we do need to understand the words!
稍等一下托马斯。克里斯托弗·斯莱是喝醉了,但我们也要能听懂他说的话呀!
You're criticising my acting, Will. Again.
你又在批判我的演技了,威廉。
Thomas, Thomas. You're a great actor. A wonderful actor.
托马斯,托马斯。你是一个优秀的演员,非常棒的演员。
But Thomas, can the audience please actually hear the words I wrote for your character to say...?
但是托马斯,听众们真的能听清我为你的角色写的台词吗?
The audience can see what's happening!

I'm in the pub, I'm drunk, there's broken glass everywhere and...

Thomas Swann! If you've broken one of my glasses, I'll have your guts for garters.
托马斯·斯万!如果你打碎我一个酒杯,我就把你的肠子给掏出来做成丝袜。

但是斯莱说他才不在意警察呢,他有权利待在酒馆里,他是不会走的。
Oh...well just you be careful. I won't have people breaking glasses in my pub.
哦......那你们也要小心点。我是不会让人在我的酒馆里打碎酒杯的。
