-Male teacher: No. Miss Hanley's here to talk about Murph.

还没有。Hanley小姐还要跟你谈谈Murph。

-Miss Hanley: Murph is a great kid. She's really bright. But she's been having a little trouble lately. She brought this in to show the other students. The section on the lunar landings.

Murph是个好孩子，很聪明。但她最近有点小麻烦。她在同学中传阅这本书，关于登月的那章。

-Cooper: Yeah, it's one of my old textbooks. She always loved the pictures.

嗯，这是我以前上学时的课本，她很喜欢里面的插图。

你不相信我们到过月球?

-Miss Hanley: I believe it was a brilliant piece of propaganda. The Soviets bankrupted themselves pouring resources... into rockets and other useless machines.

我相信那是非常精明的政治宣传。苏联的破产就是因为将资源浪费在火箭和其他没用的机器上。

propaganda /prɑpə'gændə/ n. 宣传

-Cooper: "Useless machines."

“没用的机器”......

-Miss Hanley: If we don't want a repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th century, then... we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it.

如果我们不想重蹈二十世纪铺张浪费的覆辙，那么就得教孩子认识这个星球而不是想着离开。

-Cooper: You know, one of those useless machines they used to make was called an MRI. And if we had any of those left, the doctors would've been able to find the cyst in my wife's brain before she died instead of afterwards. Then she'd have been the one sitting here listening to this instead of me, which would have been a good thing, because she was always the... the calmer one.

你说的那些“没用的机器”中，有一种叫核磁共振仪。哪怕还剩下一台，医生就能在我太太死前发现她脑子里的囊肿，而不是在她死后。那么，今天在这里跟你们谈话的就是她而不是我。那样就会好很多，因为她一直都......比我冷静。

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 核磁共振仪

cyst /sɪst/ n. 囊肿

-Miss Hanley: I'm sorry about your wife, Mr. Cooper. But... Murph got into a fistfight with several of her classmates over this... Apollo nonsense. So we thought it would be best to bring you in and see what ideas you might have for dealing with her behavior on the home front.

对于您太太的事我很遗憾，Cooper先生。但Murph和几个同学打架，就因为争论这胡编乱造的阿波罗计划。所以我们觉得最好找您沟通一下，也许您有什么办法来管教她的行为。

fistfight /ˈfɪstfaɪt/ n. 互殴

-Cooper: Yeah, you know what? Um, there's a game tomorrow night. She's going through a bit of a baseball phase. Her favorite team is playing. There's gonna be candy and soda and... I think I'll take her to that.

对了，明晚有场球赛。她最近挺迷棒球的，有她最喜欢的球队，还有糖果和汽水，我可以带她去看比赛。

谈得怎么样？

-Cooper: I got you suspended.

这几天别上学了。

-Cooper: Just reset the controllers.

试试重新设定一下程序。

-Grandpa: I did that. Now you should come take a look. One by one they've been peeling off the fields and heading over. Something's interfering with the compass. Magnetism or some such.

-Murph: Nothing special about which book. I've been working on it, like you said. I counted the spaces.

不是特定的哪本书。像你说的那样，我一直在研究，我计算了空间。

-Cooper: Why?

为什么？

-Murph: In case the ghost is trying to communicate. I'm trying Morse.

说不定幽灵想要传达什么信息，我在试摩尔斯。

-Cooper: Morse?

摩尔斯电码？

-Murph: Yeah. Dots and dashes, used to...

没错，用点和划来表示......

dash /dæʃ/ n. 划

-Cooper: I know what Morse code is, Murph. I just don't think your bookshelf's trying to talk to you. Had to reset every compass clock and GPS to offset for the anomaly.

我知道摩尔斯电码是什么，Murph。我只是不认为你的书架想和你说话。重新设置了所有罗盘表和定位系统，这才消除了异常。

offset /ɔf'sɛt/ v. 抵消

anomaly /ə'nɑməli/ n. 异常

-Grandpa: Which is?

什么异常？

-Cooper: I don't know. I mean if the house was built on magnetic ore... we'd have seen this the first time we switched on the tractor.

我不知道。如果房子建在了磁性矿上，第一次开拖拉机的时候就会发现的。

ore /ɔr/ n. 矿石

-Grandpa: I hear your meeting at the school didn't go so well.

听说你在学校的谈话不是很愉快。

-Cooper: Heh. You heard? It's like we've forgotten who we are, Donald. Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers.

你听说了？我们好像已经忘记了自己是谁了，Donald。我们是探索者，开拓者，而不是什么守护者。

-Grandpa: When I was a kid... it felt like they made something new every day. Some... gadget or idea. Like every day was Christmas. But six billion people... just try to imagine that. And every last one of them trying to have it all. This world isn't so bad. And Tom will do just fine. You're the one who doesn't belong. Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early. My daughter knew it, God bless her. And your kids know it. Especially Murph.

我小的时候，感觉好像每天都有新鲜事物诞生。新的玩意儿或想法，每天都像圣诞节一样。但六十亿人口，想想都可怕，而每个人都是那么贪得无厌。这世界还不算太糟，Tom也不会有事的。你才是不属于这儿的人的人，晚生了四十年或早生四十年，我女儿明白，上帝保佑她。孩子们也明白，尤其是Murph。

gadget /'gædʒɪt/ n. 小玩意儿

-Cooper: Well, we used to look up in the sky and wonder... at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.
