科學怪人》，第 7 集。

Scientist Victor Frankenstein is to build a bride for the creature.

科學家維克多-弗蘭肯斯坦（Victor Frankenstein）要為這個怪物造一個新娘。

Hello, I'm scientist Victor Frankenstein.

你好，我是科學家維克多-弗蘭肯斯坦。

You've been listening to the story the creature told me long ago before I had to come after it and arrived here in the Arctic.

你一直在聽那個怪物給我講的故事，那是很久以前的事了，那時我還沒有追到北極來。

The monster I built.

我建造的怪物

I used to care about my science more than anything and I thought I could control nature.

我曾經把科學看得比什麼都重要，我以為我能控制大自然。

I've paid a high price for that.

我為此付出了高昂的代價。

The creature murdered my young brother and his nanny was executed for the crime.

這個怪物殺害了我年幼的弟弟，他的保姆也是以被處死。

During that conversation years ago, the monster told me he would go away and harm nobody else if I built him a bride.

在多年前的那次談話中，怪物告訴我，如果我給他娶個新娘，他就會離開，不再傷害任何人。

Should I do it?

我應該這樣做嗎？

He wanted to have his answer when we sat by the fire in his hut in the mountains.

他希望當我們坐在他山間小屋的火爐旁時，他能給出答案。

So, what do you say?

你怎麼說？

If you give me a bride, you'll never see or hear from me again.

如果你給我一個新娘，你就再也看不到我，也聽不到我的消息了。

Alright, I'll do it.

好吧，我來

Will you?

你會嗎？

Go home and start working.

回家開始工作吧

I'll watch your progress and when my bride is ready to come to life, I'll be there.

我會關注你的進展，當我的新娘準備就緒時，我會出現在你面前。

For some reason, I didn't want to start my work.

出於某種原因，我不想開始工作。

I didn't want to do it in my father's house in Geneva for sure.

我肯定不想在我父親日內瓦的房子裡做這件事。

I didn't want him to find out about the monster.

我不想讓他發現怪物的事。

I was worried and adding to that, the monster had warned me he would watch me at a distance.

我很擔心，而且怪物還警告過我，他會遠遠地看著我。

My love, Elizabeth, noticed I wasn't happy.

我的夫妻伊麗莎白髮現我不開心。

You've been so quiet lately.

你最近好安靜

We used to talk a lot.

我們以前經常哈拉。

What's happening?

發生了什麼事？

Don't you like me anymore?

你不再喜歡我了嗎？

Don't be silly.

別傻了。

Of course I like you.

我當然喜歡你

I'll even keep the promise I made to my mother before she died, who was very fond of you.

我甚至會遵守我母親生前的承諾，她非常喜歡你。

How about marriage?

婚姻如何？

Will you marry me?

你願意嫁給我嗎？

Marriage?

Mr Frankenstein, did you hear what your son Victor has just said?

弗蘭肯斯坦先生，你聽到你兒子維克多剛才說的話了嗎？

He asked me to marry him.

他向我求婚了

That's fantastic news.

這真是個好消息。

My late wife and I used to watch you both playing together as children.

我和我已故的妻子小時候經常看你們倆一起玩耍。

We thought you were made for each other.

You'll make a wonderful couple.

But first, I need to spend some time in England.

There are some new scientific discoveries there which I must see for myself.

This could be my last chance to travel and see the world before I settle down.

We can have our wedding as soon as I come back, my dear Elizabeth.

我一回來，我們就可以舉行婚禮了，親愛的伊麗莎白。

We understand, son, but you'll need a good friend to take care of you, won't you?

我們明白，孩子，但你需要一個好朋友來照顧你，不是嗎？

I'll ask Henry, your best friend, to go with you.

我會讓你最好的朋友亨利和你一起去。

Henry?

My plan was to go to England and build a bride for the creature.

我的計劃是去英國，為那個怪物做一個新娘。

How could I keep my work a secret from Henry?

We stopped in many cities, and when we reached Edinburgh, I had to leave him behind.

That's a great restaurant, don't you think so?

Yes, I suppose so.

是的，我想是的。

What's going on with you, Victor?

你怎麼了，維克多？

I'm not used to seeing you this sad.

What's the problem?

I think I need some time alone to think.

To think?

Let's make a deal.

我們來做個交易吧

I'll go away for a month or two on my own, and when I'm back, everything will be what it used to be.

我會獨自離開一兩個月，等我回來的時候，一切都會回到從前。

We'll have a lot of fun together, I promise.

OK, I'll be waiting for you.

Well, I promised Henry a good time and the creature a bride.

我答應讓亨利玩得開心，讓她做新娘。

I started collecting material and rented a hut far away in the Orkney Islands.

我開始收集材料，並在奧克尼群島租了一間小屋。

But I had mixed feelings.

但我百感交集。

It had been three years since I built the creature, and what a big mistake that was.

What if the monsters didn't like each other?

And if the female creature started killing people too?

I couldn't allow this to happen.

I hadn't finished the work yet, but I couldn't give life to another monster.

我還沒有完成工作，但我不能再給另一個怪物生命了。

So I just destroyed it.

所以我就把它毀了。

It was over.

一切都結束了。

No more bride.

But what about the creature?

但那個怪物呢？

Was I going to pay a heavy price for destroying the female monster?

I'll tell you next time.
