永远的少掌门(八)

Yǒngyuǎn de shǎo zhǎng mén (bā)

Young Clan Chief For All Eternity (Part Eight)


神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少主人是一个很平静的人,一个人的时候几乎都没有什么情绪波动,

Shǎo zhǔrén shì yīgè hěn píngjìng de rén, yīgè rén de shíhòu jīhū dōu méiyǒu shé me qíngxù bōdòng,

The Young Master is a very serene person, when alone he is nearly always in a state of equanimity.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


但是在人前,却总是微笑。

Dànshì zài rénqián, què zǒng shì wéixiào.

However around others, he's always smiling.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


别人眼中他是万民之上的大祭司。

Biérén yǎnzhōng tā shì wànmín zhī shàng de dà jìsī.

Everyone else views him as the High Priest of the entire human race,


在我看来……

Zài wǒ kàn lái……

but to me ...




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


他只是一个拼命努力以求别人一丝夸奖的小孩子。

Tā zhǐshì yīgè pīnmìng nǔlì yǐ qiú biérén yīsī kuājiǎng de xiǎo háizi.

he's just a child desperately striving for a tiny shred of praise.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门,以后不要随便对别人微笑,明白吗?

Shǎo zhǎng mén, yǐhòu bùyào suíbiàn duì biérén wéixiào, míngbái ma?

Young Clan Chief, from now on don't smile at others so carelessly. Do you understand?


司徒岚,前任掌门端木银明媒正娶的夫人,

Sītú lán, qiánrèn zhǎng mén duānmù yín míngméizhèngqǔ de fūrén,

SīTú Lán (the official legal wife of the former Clan Chief DuānMù Yín),




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


除了太奶奶,其实她就是端木家真正手握实权的人。

Chúle tài nǎinai, qíshí tā jiùshì duānmù jiā zhēnzhèng shǒu wò shíquán de rén.

except for Great Grandmother, is in fact the person with real power in the DuānMù family.


少掌门的出身,即使什么都不做也足够触这位夫人的逆鳞了。

Shǎo zhǎng mén de chūshēn, jíshǐ shénme dōu bù zuò yě zúgòu chù zhè wèi fūrén de nì lín le.

Without even doing anything, Young Clan Chief's birth alone is enough to make her blood boil.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


现在又夺了掌门为,让她想扶持自己亲儿子上位的想法也成了泡影。

Xiànzài yòu duóle zhǎng mén wèi, ràng tā xiǎng fúchí zìjǐ qīn érzi shàngwèi de xiǎngfǎ yě chéngle pàoyǐng.

Now that he's seized the position of Clan Chief, her plans of elevating her own son to that position has turned into a pipe dream.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


等等……

Děng děng……

Wait a minute ...


端木银……

Duānmù yín……

DuānMù Yín ...


不是你爹吗?

bùshì nǐ diē ma?

Isn't he your dad?



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


嗯。

Ń.

Yes.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


那她,这个女人不是你妈?

Nà tā, zhège nǚrén bùshì nǐ mā?

Then isn't that woman your mom?



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


不是。

Bùshì.

No.


杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


我隐约闻到一股子豪门恩怨的狗血气息……

Wǒ yǐnyuē wén dào yī gǔzi háomén ēnyuàn de gǒu xuè qìxí……

I'm getting a whiff of filthy rich people's problems.



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


不是你想的那种……

bùshì nǐ xiǎng dì nà zhǒng……

It's not what you think ...




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


端木熙你不会是私生子吧?!

Duānmù xī nǐ bù huì shì sīshēngzǐ ba?!

DuānMù Xī, were you born out of wedlock?!



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


我母亲不是第三者!

Wǒ mǔqīn bùshì dì sān zhě!

My mother was not the other woman!



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


也对,你既然是家里的老大,那你妈应该不是小三……

Yě duì, nǐ jìrán shì jiālǐ de lǎodà, nà nǐ mā yīnggāi bùshì xiǎosān……

That's right, you're the heir apparent, so your mom can't be a mistress ...




端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


我的黄泉之镜你不是都看过了吗?真么这些都不知道!

Wǒ de huángquán zhī jìng nǐ bùshì dōu kànguòle ma? Zhēn me zhèxiē dōu bù zhīdào!

Didn't you access my Yellow Springs* Mirror and see everything? Why don't you know all of this already?


[*Translation Note: 黄泉 huángquán "Yellow Springs" is the underworld in Chinese mythology. It is similar to hell or Hades.]



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


靠!我说了我只能看,又听不到你们心里想什么!

Kào! Wǒ shuōle wǒ zhǐ néng kàn, yòu tīng bù dào nǐmen xīnlǐ xiǎng shénme!

F*ck! I told you, I could only observe. I don't know what you all were thinking!




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


而且你家辣么多七大姑八大姨的,比过年回家认亲戚还累!我要能都分得清才有鬼!

Érqiě nǐ jiā là me duō qī dà gū bā dàyí de, bǐ guònián huí jiā rèn qīnqī hái lèi! Wǒ yào néng dōu fēn dé qīng cái yǒu guǐ!

Plus, you have a ginormous swarm of relatives, what with the aunts on your father's side and aunts on your mother's side, it's more tiring than having to pay my respects to each family member during New Years! It would be devilry to keep it all straight!



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


……以你的智商,可以理解。

……Yǐ nǐ de zhìshāng, kěyǐ lǐjiě.

... with your IQ that is understandable.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


其实……我那会儿无聊经常到处闲逛,还每天去门卫那追完当年没看全的黄金档电视剧……

Qíshí……wǒ nà huì er wúliáo jīngcháng dàochù xiánguàng, hái měitiān qù ménwèi nà zhuī wán dāngnián méi kàn quán de huángjīn dǎng diànshìjù……

Actually ... I was bored and wandered around aimlessly. I went to the gatekeeper's place every day to binge watch that prime time TV series that I never finished ...


也不是所有事都看了…… 这事还是别告诉他了吧……

Yě bùshì suǒyǒu shì dōu kànle…… zhè shì háishì bié gàosù tāle ba……

So I didn't look at everything in the Yellow Springs Mirror. I probably shouldn't tell him ...




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


那这大夫人的亲儿子是谁呀?我认识吗?

Nà zhè dà fūrén de qīn érzi shì shéi ya? Wǒ rènshí ma?

Then who is Madam SīTú Lán's son? Do I know him?



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


寺明啊。

Sì míng a.

SìMíng.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


...


啥?端木寺明?

Shá? Duānmù sì míng?

What? DuānMù SìMíng?


你说戴眼镜那个?!

Nǐ shuō dài yǎnjìng nàgè?!

The one with the glasses?!




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


就他 ——?他不是你的仆人吗?我一直以为他是你们家打杂的下人!

Jiù tā ——? Tā bùshì nǐ de púrén ma? Wǒ yīzhí yǐwéi tā shì nǐmen jiā dǎzá de xià rén!

Him? Isn't he your servant? I thought it was his job in the family to take care of the odds and ends!



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


说话注意点,他是我亲弟弟!

Shuōhuà zhùyì diǎn, tā shì wǒ qīn dìdì!

Watch what you say! He's my little brother.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


卧槽我一直以为他跟寺芸是亲兄妹好吗!

WTF! All this time I thought SìMíng and SìYún were brother and sister.



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


寺芸是我们的堂妹!

Sì yún shì wǒmen de táng mèi!

SìYún is our younger cousin!



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


你还说这不是狗血豪门剧?!

Nǐ hái shuō zhè bùshì gǒu xuè háomén jù?!

Are you sure this isn't a soap opera: Melodrama of the Rich and Powerful?!




端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


这些我记得第一天带你回家的时候就已经都介绍过了,是你自己没搞清楚怨谁?

Zhèxiē wǒ jìdé dì yī tiān dài nǐ huí jiā de shíhòu jiù yǐjīng dōu jièshàoguòle, shì nǐ zìjǐ méi gǎo qīngchǔ yuàn shéi?

I recall explaining all of this to you the first day I brought you home, you have no one to blame but yourself!



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


卧槽你问问读者看到现在有搞清楚的么?要有我跟你姓啊!

Wò cáo nǐ wèn wèn dúzhě kàn dào xiànzài yǒu gǎo qīngchǔ de me? Yào yǒu wǒ gēn nǐ xìng a!

WTF! Why don't you go ask the readers if anyone can follow it all? Who wants to be related to you anyway?




端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


端木敬华……

Duānmù jìng huá……

DuānMù JìngHuá ...


这名字也太难听了点。

Zhè míngzì yě tài nántīngle diǎn.

It sounds jarring.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


我呸!

Wǒ pēi!

Humph!




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门的后母,她看少掌门的眼神越来越奇怪了,

Shǎo zhǎng mén de hòumǔ, tā kàn shǎo zhǎng mén de yǎnshén yuè lái yuè qíguàile,

The Young Clan Chief's stepmother leers at him with ever growing menace,




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门越来越成熟,英俊,他的长相和他生父越来越像,

Shǎo zhǎng mén yuè lái yuè chéngshú, yīngjùn, tā de cháng xiāng hé tā shēngfù yuè lái

as the Young Clan Chief is growing into a mature, handsome, eminently talented young man, looking more and more like his father.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


我知道端木银是个纨绔,

Wǒ zhīdào duānmù yín shìgè wánkù,

I know that DuānMù Yín was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.


少掌门笑起来的时候,和他简直一摸一样,

shǎo zhǎng mén xiào qǐlái de shíhòu, hé tā jiǎnzhí yī mō yīyàng,

When the Young Clan Chief smiles, he's a living image of his father.




神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门心思单纯,对这种事根本无从察觉,

Shǎo zhǎng mén xīnsī dānchún, duì zhè zhǒng shì gēnběn wúcóng chájué,

The Young Clan Chief is naïve and unware of these things.


我只能从每一件小事上保护他,希望他将来不会被伤害。

wǒ zhǐ néng cóng měi yī jiàn xiǎoshì shàng bǎohù tā, xīwàng tā jiānglái bu huì bèi shānghài.

I can only protect him in these small ways, hoping that he will not be exploited in the future.




端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


那个时候,我并没有理解章轩的意思…… 直到后来…… 不过已经太迟了……

Nàgè shíhòu, wǒ bìng méiyǒu lǐjiě zhāng xuān de yìsi…… zhídào hòulái…… bùguò yǐjīng tài chíle……

At the time I did not understand what ZhāngXuān was saying. It wasn't until much later that I understood, but by then it was too late ...



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


超级八卦想问

Chāojí bāguà xiǎng wèn

Dying to ask for the juicy details,


但又怕被怼

dàn yòu pà bèi duǐ

but afraid of getting a tongue-lashing.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


不过这样一说,我就明白为什么你在家里这么不受待见了……

Bùguò zhèyàng yī shuō, wǒ jiù míngbái wèishéme nǐ zài jiālǐ zhème bù shòu dài jiànle……

Now I understand why your family dislikes you so much.


他们既不想接受你,又不得不依靠你……

Tāmen jì bùxiǎng jiēshòu nǐ, yòu bùdé bù yīkào nǐ……

They don't want to accept you, yet they have to rely on you.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


端木……

Duānmù……

DuānMù ...


好想问一句话……

hǎo xiǎng wèn yījù huà……

There's a question I really want to ask ...


又不敢问……

yòu bù gǎn wèn……

but I don't dare ...




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


既然如此,你为什么…… 还要待在端木家?

Jìrán rúcǐ, nǐ wèishéme…… hái yào dài zài duānmù jiā?

Things being the way they are, why do you still live here with the DuānMù family?




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


留在这个让你不开心的地方?

Liú zài zhège ràng nǐ bù kāixīn dì dìfāng?

Staying in such a hostile environment?


做着这种搭上自己性命的事……

Zuòzhe zhè zhǒng dā shàng zìjǐ xìngmìng de shì……

Putting your own life on the line.




杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


端木你知道吗?之前我一个人看的时候好无聊哦,不过现在咱们两人一起看就不觉得了。

Duānmù nǐ zhīdào ma? Zhīqián wǒ yīgè rén kàn de shíhòu hǎo wúliáo ó, bùguò xiànzài zánmen liǎng rén yīqǐ kàn jiù bù juédéliǎo.

DuānMù, did you know, before when I was watching by myself it was so boring, but now the two of us are watching together it doesn't feel boring at all.


跟一起出来看电影似的~

Gēn yīqǐ chūlái kàn diànyǐng shì de ~

It's like going out to a movie ~


要是再来点爆米花什么的就完美了!

Yàoshi zàilái diǎn bào mǐhuā shénme de jiù wánměile!

All that's missing is some popcorn!
