Part 2 台词学习
-Cooper: It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh?
很显然，你们不想有人参观这里。为何不干脆放了我们？让我们掉头离开呢？
-Brand: It's not that simple.
没这么简单。
-Cooper: Well, sure, it is. I don't know anything about you. I don't know anything about this place.
就这么简单。我根本不认识你，对这地方也一无所知。

Cooper，拜托，积极配合这些人。
cooperate /ko'ɑpəret/ v. 配合
-Cooper: Look. It's kind of hard to explain. You know we... we learned these coordinates from an anomaly.
听着，这事很难解释。由于一个异常现象，我们得到了这儿的坐标。
coordinates /ko'ɔrdɪnets/ n. 坐标
anomaly /ə'nɑməli/ n. 异常

-Murph: It was gravity.
是重力。
gravity /'ɡrævəti/ n. 重力
-Doyle: Um, what sort of gravitational anomaly? Where was this?
是怎样的重力异常现象？在哪发生的？
-Cooper: Now, I'm real happy that you're excited about gravity, but... but you're not getting any answers from us until I get assurances.
我很高兴你们对重力异常这么感兴趣但......但不得到保证，我一个字也不会透露。
-Principal 1: Assurances?
保证？
-Cooper: Yeah. Like, that we're getting out of here. And I don't mean in the trunk of some car.
是的。比如，保证我们离开这儿，不准绑在后备箱里。
trunk /trʌŋk/ n. 后备箱
-Professor Brand: Don't you know who we are, Coop?
你不知道我们是谁吗，Cooper？
-Cooper: No, professor, I don't.
不，教授，我不知道。

你认识我父亲，Brand教授。我们是宇航局的。
NASA /'næsə/ 美国宇航局
-Cooper: NASA?
宇航局？
-Professor Brand: NASA. The same NASA you flew for.
没错，宇航局。你曾在那里当过宇航员。
-Cooper: I heard they shut you down, sir... for refusing to drop bombs from the stratosphere... onto starving people.
我听说他们把它关了，先生。说是因为你们拒绝从平流层向挨饿的人们投炸弹。
stratosphere /'strætəsfɪr/ n. 平流层
-Professor Brand: When they realized that killing other people was... not a long-term solution, then they needed us back. In secret.
当他们意识到杀人并不是一个长久之计时，就又把我们秘密地招了回来。
-Cooper: Why secret?
为什么要保密？
-Professor Brand: Because public opinion wouldn't allow spending on space exploration. Not while you're struggling to put food on the table. Blight. Wheat seven years ago. Okra this year. Now there's just corn.
因为公众不能容忍政府把钱花在太空探索上，尤其是在大家都吃不饱饭的时候。枯萎病七年前害死了小麦，今年是秋葵。现在只剩玉米了。
-Cooper: And we're growing more than we ever have.
而且我们种得前所未有地多。
-Professor Brand: But like the potatoes in Ireland and the wheat in the Dust Bowl... the corn will die. Soon.
但就像爱尔兰的土豆和沙尘暴地区的小麦一样，玉米也会绝迹，很快。
-Cooper: We'll find a way, professor. We always have.
我们会找到办法的，教授。总会有办法的。
-Professor Brand: Driven by the unshakable faith the Earth is ours.
就凭“地球属于我们”的坚定信念吗？
-Cooper: Not just ours, no. But it is our home.
当然地球不单是我们的，但它是我们的家园。
-Professor Brand: Earth's atmosphere is 80 percent nitrogen. We don't even breathe nitrogen. Blight does. And as it thrives, our air gets less and less oxygen. The last people to starve will be the first to suffocate. And your daughter's generation... will be the last to survive on Earth.
地球的大气层80%都是氮气，我们呼吸不了氮气，但枯萎病原菌可以。枯萎病越严重，我们空气里的氧气就会越来越少，最后一批经历饥荒的人将会率先面临窒息。你女儿这一代人，会是活在地球上的最后一代。
nitrogen /'naɪtrədʒən/ n. 氮气
suffocate /'sʌfəket/ v. 窒息
-Brand: Murph is feeling a little tired. I was wondering if she could take a nap in my office.
Murph有点累了，能不能让她去我办公室睡一会儿？
-Cooper: Yeah. Thank you. Okay... now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world.
当然，谢谢你。好了，告诉我，你打算怎么拯救这个世界？
-Professor Brand: We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. Rangers. The last components of our one versatile ship in orbit, the Endurance. Our final expedition.
我们不打算拯救世界，我们要逃离它。漫游者。这是仅存的在轨道上一艘多功能舰船“永恒号”的最后一个组件。我们的最后一次远征。

Lazarus /ˈlæzərəs/ n. 拉撒路
-Cooper: Oh, that sounds cheerful.
听起来真了不起。
-Professor Brand: Lazarus came back from the dead.
那个死而复生的拉撒路。
-Cooper: Sure, but he had to die in the first place. There's not a planet in our solar system that could sustain life... and the nearest star's over a thousand years away. That doesn't even qualify as futile. Where'd you send them?
话是没错，但先得死了才能复生。整个太阳系没有一颗行星适合生存，去系外最近的恒星也至少要飞一千年，说是送死一点都不过分。你派他们去了哪里？
-Professor Brand: Cooper... I can't tell you anymore unless you agree... to pilot this craft. You're the best pilot we ever had.
Cooper，我只能告诉你这么多了，除非你同意驾驶这艘飞船。你曾是我们最好的宇航员。
-Cooper: I barely left the stratosphere.
我都没飞出过平流层。
-Professor Brand: This team never left the simulator. We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for.
这群人连模拟舱都没出过。我们需要宇航员，这正是你当初受训的目标。
simulator /'sɪmjuletɚ/ n. 模拟舱
-Cooper: Without even knowing it? An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive. You... you were going anyway.
某个我压根不知道的目标？一小时前，你甚至不知道我还活着，就算那样行动依然照常。
-Professor Brand: We had no choice. But something sent you here. They chose you.
我们本来别无选择。但冥冥之中，你来到了这里。他们选择了你。
-Cooper: Who's "they"? How long would I be gone?
“他们”是谁？我会去多久？
-Professor Brand: Hard to know. Years?
很难说，几年？
-Cooper: I've got kids, professor.
我有孩子，教授。
-Professor Brand: Get out there and save them.
到太空去，拯救孩子们。
-Cooper: Who's "they"?
“他们”是谁？
