January 25, 2010  ·  American Experience (PBS)  ·  原文

Narrator: : Wyatt Earp loved cowboy movies.

旁白:怀亚特·厄普喜欢牛仔电影。

In the 1920s he would travel from one end of Los Angeles to the other just to watch the latest releases.

在 20 年代,他会从洛杉矶的一端前往另一端,只是为了观看最新上映的电影。

Wyatt was always glad for an escape from the monotony of his tiny bungalow.

怀亚特总是很高兴能够摆脱单调的小平房。

But even more, he hoped the movies would vindicate him.

但更重要的是,他希望电影能够为他辩护。

Forty years earlier, in an Arizona mining town, Wyatt and his brothers were drawn into a bitter conflict that echoed through the West.

四十年前,在亚利桑那州的一个矿业小镇,怀亚特和他的兄弟们卷入了一场席卷整个西方的激烈冲突。

Tombstone and the OK Corral had haunted him ever since.

从那以后,墓碑镇和 OK 畜栏就一直困扰着他。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : His one brother had been maimed, another murdered.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),作家::他的一个兄弟被打残,另一个兄弟被谋杀。

He went out and got the guys who did it.

他出去找到了干这件事的人。

There weren’t any doubts, there weren’t any questions, he believed he’d done right, but it would always come back to him.

没有任何怀疑,没有任何疑问,他相信自己做对了,但一切总会回到他身边。

Narrator: : Wyatt had long since grown tired of the looks and questions, of wondering whether the strangers just wanted to shake the hand of a killer.

旁白:怀亚特早已厌倦了这些目光和问题,厌倦了想知道这些陌生人是否只是想与杀手握手。

He spent his days imagining a movie that would set them all straight, starring Hollywood’s most famous cowboy, William S.

他花了很多时间想象一部能纠正他们一切的电影,由好莱坞最著名的牛仔威廉·S·威廉姆斯主演。

Hart.

哈特。

“If the story were exploited on the screen by you,” he wrote Hart, “it would do much toward setting me right before a public which has always been fed lies about me.” Hart never made Wyatt’s movie, and Wyatt didn’t live to see his redemption.

“如果你把这个故事搬上银幕,”他写信给哈特,“这将有助于让我站在一直被灌输关于我的谎言的公众面前。”哈特从未拍过怀亚特的电影,而怀亚特也没有活着看到他的救赎。

But within a few years of his death, writers and filmmakers turned Wyatt Earp into a new kind of western hero.

但在他去世后的几年内,作家和电影制作人将怀亚特·厄普变成了一种新型的西部英雄。

This story of a man who took the law into his own hands answered a deep longing in a society that had been transformed by vast, impersonal forces.

这个故事讲述了一个人将法律掌握在自己手中的故事,它满足了一个被巨大的、非个人力量改变的社会中深深的渴望。

In the retelling, Wyatt Earp came to embody a time and place where a man controlled his own destiny, and the explosion of violence at the OK Corral became a celebrated chapter in the winning of the West.

在重述中,怀亚特·厄普(Wyatt Earp)体现了一个人掌控自己命运的时间和地点,OK Corral 的暴力爆发成为赢得西部的著名篇章。

Paul A.

保罗·A.

Hutton, Historian: : Wyatt Earp becomes the symbol of western law and order, the town taming marshal, absolutely dedicated to the law, and to all that means: to the settlement of the West, to the coming of civilization, to the end of savagery, to a place where schoolmarms and churches will replace the gambling dens and saloons that infest western towns.

赫顿,历史学家:怀亚特·厄普成为西部法律和秩序的象征,城镇驯服元帅,绝对致力于法律,以及所有这一切意味着:西部的定居,文明的到来,野蛮的结束,女教师和教堂将取代充斥西部城镇的赌博窝点和酒吧的地方。

Narrator: : Tombstone and the OK Corral would become part of America’s creation myth, and Wyatt one of its most enduring heroes.

旁白:墓碑镇和 OK 畜栏将成为美国创世神话的一部分,而怀亚特则是最不朽的英雄之一。

But that myth left out the confusion and loss that haunted the real Wyatt Earp.

但这个神话忽略了困扰真正的怀亚特·厄普的困惑和失落。

“The good Lord,” he once said, “owes me an explanation for the things that have happened in my life.”

“仁慈的上帝,”他曾经说过,“欠我一个对我生命中发生的事情的解释。”

Narrator: : Wyatt Earp had never belonged anywhere.

旁白:怀亚特·厄普从来不属于任何地方。

He was born in Monmouth, Illinois in 1848, the third of Nicholas and Virginia Earp’s five sons.

1848 年,他出生于伊利诺伊州蒙茅斯,是尼古拉斯·厄普 (Nicholas Earp) 和弗吉尼亚·厄普 (Virginia Earp) 五个儿子中的第三个。

But Nicholas was a roamer: he dragged his family across the West, from Illinois to Iowa to Missouri and back, only to pull up roots again for the crossing to California.

但尼古拉斯是个流浪者:他拖着家人穿越西部,从伊利诺伊州到爱荷华州,再到密苏里州,然后又回来,只是为了再次扎根,穿越加利福尼亚州。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : The generous way to describe Nicholas Earp, Wyatt Earp’s father, was that he was colorful and that he was larger than life.

历史学家安德鲁·伊森伯格 (Andrew Isenberg): 描述怀亚特·厄普 (Wyatt Earp) 的父亲尼古拉斯·厄普 (Nicholas Earp) 的慷慨方式是,他丰富多彩,而且比生活更伟大。

The more accurate way to describe him, or at least to round out the picture, was that he was a deadbeat.

描述他的更准确的方式,或者至少使整个画面更加完整,是他是个游手好闲的人。

He skipped out on debts, he was a drinker, he was something of a bully.

他逃债、酗酒、恶霸。

I think that being Nicholas Earp’s son was not an easy thing to be.

我认为成为尼古拉斯·厄普的儿子并不是一件容易的事。

Narrator: : Adversity and isolation hardened the bonds between the Earp brothers, so when Virgil and James left to fight for the Union in 1861, thirteen-year-old Wyatt was desperate to go along.

旁白::逆境和孤立使厄普兄弟之间的联系更加牢固,因此当维吉尔和詹姆斯于 1861 年离开去为联邦而战时,13 岁的怀亚特迫切希望跟随。

As it was, Wyatt had to stay behind.

事实上,怀亚特不得不留下来。

He would spend his formative years watching over his little brother Morgan.

他在成长的岁月里一直在照顾他的弟弟摩根。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : Morgan appears to be a little bit more outgoing, a little friendlier, could get along with people.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),编剧:摩根显得比较外向,比较友善,能够与人相处。

But for Wyatt it was different.

但对于怀亚特来说,情况有所不同。

Wyatt was dour.

怀亚特表情阴沉。

He didn’t laugh, he didn’t get along with people very well.

他不笑,与人相处不太融洽。

Narrator: : Wyatt was with his family in California when news came of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.

旁白::当南军在阿波马托克斯投降的消息传出时,怀亚特正在加利福尼亚州与家人在一起。

The industrial Leviathan that had been created by the war, the vast machinery of the federal government, the waves of immigration — all of the forces that had brought victory to the North were about to be unleashed in the West.

战争创造的工业利维坦、联邦政府的庞大机器、移民浪潮——所有为北方带来胜利的力量即将在西方释放出来。

Paul A.

保罗·A.

Hutton, Historian: : The victory of the Union in the American Civil War is a victory for the forces of incorporation for the West.

历史学家赫顿::联邦在美国内战中的胜利是西方合并力量的胜利。

But what happens after the Civil War surprises even those that dreamed of settling the West because it happened so rapidly.

但内战后发生的事情甚至令那些梦想定居西方的人感到惊讶,因为它发生得太快了。

What had taken three hundred years to accomplish now is wrapped up in a generation.

花了三百年才完成的事情现在已经用一代人的时间完成了。

Narrator: : Wyatt left his father’s home at the age of seventeen, as the United States set about expanding its reach into the vast western interior.

旁白:怀亚特十七岁时离开了父亲的家,当时美国正着手将其影响力扩展到广阔的西部内陆地区。

He was a loner, with no plan and nothing to fall back on.

他是一个孤独的人,没有计划,也没有什么可以依靠的。

Like thousands of rootless young men, he saw only opportunity in the West.

和成千上万无根的年轻人一样,他只看到了西方的机会。

Like them, he could have no sense of the speed and breadth of the coming changes.

和他们一样,他无法意识到即将发生的变化的速度和广度。

And like many of them, his life would be altered forever by the violence that attended that transformation.

和他们中的许多人一样,他的生活将因伴随这一转变的暴力而永远改变。

Roberts, Historian: : “Hell-on-wheels” was a term that was given to the towns that were built in advance of the Union Pacific.

历史学家罗伯茨:“地狱之轮”是一个术语,指的是联合太平洋公司之前建造的城镇。

They’re the gamblers and the saloon men and the prostitutes and all sorts of other predators who were trying to live off of the, the workers on the railroad.

他们是赌徒、酒馆老板、妓女和其他各种掠夺者,他们试图靠铁路工人为生。

So it was a rough and difficult environment.

所以这是一个艰苦而困难的环境。

Narrator: : By 1869, twenty-one-year-old Wyatt had been tempered by years in the work camps and boomtowns that dotted the West.

旁白: 到了 1869 年,21 岁的怀亚特已经在遍布西部的工作营和新兴城镇中度过了多年的磨练。

He had slowly made his way back across the continent, hauling goods and grading track for the transcontinental railroad.

他慢慢地穿越大陆返回,为横贯大陆的铁路运输货物并平整轨道。

That year he rejoined Virgil and Morgan at their father’s home in Lamar, Missouri, and for the first time started putting down roots.

那一年,他在密苏里州拉马尔的父亲家中与维吉尔和摩根重聚,并第一次开始扎根。

Wyatt took a job as the town’s constable, and courted Urilla Sutherland — the hotel-keeper’s daughter.

怀亚特担任了镇上的警员,并向旅馆老板的女儿乌里拉·萨瑟兰求爱。

He was an attractive suitor: strikingly handsome, with blue eyes and blond hair.

他是一位有吸引力的追求者:英俊得惊人,蓝眼睛,金发。

He had a stable job, and he sweetened the pot by lodging prisoners at the Sutherlands’ hotel.

他有一份稳定的工作,还通过在萨瑟兰酒店住宿囚犯来增加收入。

The young couple married at the beginning of 1870, and by summer were expecting a child.

这对年轻夫妇于 1870 年初结婚,到了夏天就怀上了孩子。

They bought land on the outskirts of town and set about building a life of modest respectability.

他们在城郊购买了土地,开始过上体面的生活。

But it all went to pieces a few months later, when Urilla died of typhoid, along with their unborn child.

但几个月后,当乌里拉和他们未出生的孩子死于伤寒时,这一切都化为泡影。

Gary L.

加里·L。

Roberts, Historian: : He was still kind of raw anyway.

罗伯茨,历史学家::无论如何,他仍然很原始。

And this seems to have sent him over the edge.

这似乎让他陷入了崩溃的边缘。

Narrator: : Wyatt sought out the saloons, gambling houses and brothels that flourished on the thinly policed frontier.

旁白:怀亚特寻找了在警力薄弱的边境上蓬勃发展的酒吧、赌场和妓院。

Within months he was thrown in jail for stealing horses in Indian Territory.

几个月后,他因在印第安领地偷马而被投入监狱。

But he didn’t stick around to stand trial: he climbed out through the roof of his cell and headed to Peoria, Illinois.

但他并没有留下来接受审判:他从牢房的屋顶爬出来,前往伊利诺伊州的皮奥里亚。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : He gets arrested three times in the Peoria area for his adventures in prostitution.

凯西·特弗蒂勒 (Casey Tefertiller),作家::他因从事卖淫活动而在皮奥里亚地区被捕 3 次。

So he’s kind of going down a bad hole.

所以他有点陷入了困境。

Gary L.

加里·L。

Roberts, Historian: : It’s not clear that he was a pimp.

罗伯茨,历史学家::目前尚不清楚他是否是皮条客。

His role seems to have been more that of an enforcer.

他的角色似乎更像是一个执行者。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : He was one tough SOB.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),编剧:他是个强硬的混蛋。

If a troublemaker came in causing problems Wyatt Earp could come up to him and beat the living crap out of him.

如果有麻烦制造者闯进来制造麻烦,怀亚特·厄普就可以找到他,把他打得稀巴烂。

Narrator: : When Earp wasn’t roughing up the clients, he was spending time with one of the prostitutes, a woman named Sarah.

旁白:当厄普没有粗暴地对待客户时,他会和其中一名妓女共度时光,她是一位名叫莎拉的女人。

Sarah would disappear quietly from Wyatt’s life within a year or two, but she was only the first in a string of women from that world.

一两年之内,莎拉就会从怀亚特的生活中悄然消失,但她只是这个世界上一系列女性中的第一个。

Anne M.

安妮·M。

Butler, Historian: : To find Wyatt Earp in these multiple relationships with prostitutes is just a common factor of his daily life.

历史学家巴特勒::在与妓女的多重关系中找到怀亚特·厄普只是他日常生活中的一个常见因素。

It’s not an unusual thing for him to associate with prostitutes.

与妓女交往对他来说并不是什么稀奇的事情。

Gary L.

加里·L。

Roberts, Historian: : You can see from this the influence that Urilla’s death seems to have had on him, he just goes wild for a period of time.

历史学家罗伯茨::从这里你可以看出乌里拉的死似乎对他产生了影响,他只是疯狂了一段时间。

Narrator: : Wyatt’s home was a tiny room on a dank, floating whorehouse on the Illinois River.

旁白:怀亚特的家是伊利诺伊河上一座潮湿的漂浮妓院的一个小房间。

The woman who called herself his wife was a working prostitute.

那个自称为他妻子的女人是一名职业妓女。

The fact was, he had no other trade, and no reason to expect anything else from life.

事实上,他没有其他职业,也没有理由对生活抱有任何其他期望。

So when his brother James opened a brothel in Kansas, it was only natural that Wyatt should make his way there.

因此,当他的兄弟詹姆斯在堪萨斯州开设一家妓院时,怀亚特自然而然地会去那里。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : Dodge City and Wichita, they’re cow towns.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),编剧::道奇城和威奇托,它们是奶牛城镇。

The herds would be driven in, the Texas cowboys would come in and after a couple of months on the trail they’d wanna have a good time so they went to the brothels, went to the saloons, they’d run around shooting their guns and doing various things.

牛群会被驱赶进来,德克萨斯州的牛仔也会进来,在路上几个月后,他们想要玩得开心,所以他们去妓院,去酒吧,他们跑来跑去,开枪做各种事情。

It was the fun at the end of the trail.

这是小路尽头的乐趣。

Narrator: : “Everything goes in Wichita.” That’s what the signs said, and it wasn’t far from the truth.

旁白::“威奇托一切顺利。”迹象就是这么说的,而且与事实相差不远。

Wyatt Earp was right at home.

怀亚特·厄普就在家里。

There was plenty of work for a whorehouse bouncer, at least during the summer cattle drives.

妓院保镖有很多工作要做,至少在夏季赶牛期间是这样。

But the trade ground to a halt in the fall, leaving him at loose ends.

但秋季交易陷入停滞,让他无所事事。

So in October 1874, he took work helping an off duty police officer track down some thieves who had stolen a man’s wagon.

因此,1874 年 10 月,他开始帮助一名下班的警察追捕偷了一名男子马车的小偷。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : They go off, encounter the thieves, draw their weapons, force these men to turn over the stolen property, they return to Wichita.

历史学家安德鲁·伊森伯格::他们出发,遇到小偷,拔出武器,迫使这些人交出被盗的财产,然后返回威奇托。

The story is written up in the Wichita Eagle and Earp gets praised publicly.

这个故事被写在《威奇托之鹰》上,厄普受到了公开的赞扬。

And this is a real turn around for Wyatt Earp.

这对怀亚特·厄普来说是一次真正的转变。

Now he’s on the other side.

现在他在另一边。

Narrator: : Wyatt was hooked — every summer he signed on again as deputy marshal, first in Wichita, and then in nearby Dodge City.

旁白:怀亚特被迷住了——每年夏天他都会再次签约担任副元帅,先是在威奇托,然后在附近的道奇城。

As a lawman in the cattle towns, he was expected to walk a fine line.

作为养牛镇的执法者,他必须小心行事。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : The job of a lawman in Dodge City wasn’t to break crime and do things like that, it was to keep the Texas cowboys from getting themselves into trouble so they could wake up the next morning and spend more money.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),编剧:道奇城执法者的工作不是打击犯罪或做类似的事情,而是防止德克萨斯州的牛仔们陷入麻烦,这样他们第二天早上醒来就能花更多的钱。

Jim Dunham, Historian: : He really doesn’t have gunfights.

历史学家吉姆·邓纳姆::他确实没有枪战。

He hits 'em on the head with his, with his barrel of his Colt.

他用他的柯尔特枪管打他们的头。

That steel barrel coming across the side of your temple definitely will knock you unconscious if it’s, if it’s hit pretty hard.

如果那个钢桶从你的太阳穴侧面穿过,如果它受到重击的话,肯定会把你打昏。

It’s like, like a lead pipe.

就像铅管一样。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : He was much taller than average.

历史学家安德鲁·伊森伯格::他比平均身高高得多。

He was about six feet tall in an era when Americans were not that large.

在美国人还没有那么高大的时代,他大约有六英尺高。

He was, he was strong.

他是,他很坚强。

Paul A.

保罗·A.

Hutton, Historian: : Having some bulk to you was, was a very good thing when you’re walking into a room in which a lot of people are packing iron and everybody is drinking copiously.

历史学家赫顿:当你走进一个房间,里面有很多人在打包铁,每个人都在喝很多酒时,拥有一些体积对你来说是一件非常好的事情。

You wanna impress everybody when you walk in.

当你走进去时,你想给每个人留下深刻的印象。

Narrator: : Wyatt Earp did shoot to kill one time.

旁白:怀亚特·厄普确实有一次开枪杀人。

On a hot July night in 1878, Dodge was going full tilt at 3am, when a group of Texans rode by the Commy-Kew theater, firing dozens of bullets through the crowded building.

1878 年 7 月一个炎热的夜晚,凌晨 3 点,道奇队正全速前进,一群德克萨斯人骑马经过 Commy-Kew 剧院,向拥挤的建筑发射了数十发子弹。

Wyatt and several other men returned fire as the riders disappeared into the night, killing one of the cowboys.

当骑手们消失在夜色中时,怀亚特和其他几名男子进行了还击,杀死了一名牛仔。

No one knew whose shot had hit home, but Earp was troubled by the incident.

没人知道是谁的子弹击中了正中目标,但厄普对此事件感到困扰。

Still, he could take satisfaction from reading about it in the wildly popular National Police Gazette, which catered to America’s growing fascination with the West.

尽管如此,他仍然可以在广受欢迎的《国家警察公报》上读到有关此事的报道,这让他感到满意,该公报迎合了美国对西方日益增长的迷恋。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : Wichita is a very important moment in Wyatt Earp’s life.

历史学家安德鲁·伊森伯格:威奇托是怀亚特·厄普一生中非常重要的时刻。

He reinvented himself in Wichita as, as a police officer, as a kind of symbol of civic respect.

他在威奇托重新塑造了自己,成为一名警察,成为公民尊重的象征。

A law firm in Dodge City gave Wyatt Earp a printed New Testament.

道奇城的一家律师事务所给了怀亚特·厄普一本印刷版的新约圣经。

And they inscribed it to him, “To Wyatt Earp, in slight recognition of your many Christian virtues.” And I think a little memento like that was the kind of thing that meant a lot to Wyatt Earp.

他们为他题词:“致怀亚特·厄普,略表对你许多基督教美德的认可。”我认为像这样的小纪念品对怀亚特·厄普来说意义重大。

It meant that he had transcended that transient upbringing that he’d had.

这意味着他已经超越了短暂的成长经历。

It certainly meant that he had achieved a kind of social acceptance.

这当然意味着他已经获得了某种社会认可。

And I think he wanted that throughout the rest of his life.

我认为他的余生都希望如此。

Gary L.

加里·L。

Roberts, Historian: : I think there came a point where Wyatt simply decided that he’d outgrown all of this.

历史学家罗伯茨:我认为怀亚特在某个时刻认为他已经不再需要面对这一切了。

He wanted something more than simply busting heads.

他想要的不仅仅是敲碎脑袋。

Narrator: : He was thirty-one years old.

旁白::他三十一岁。

In the cattle towns he had seen wealth and power, had watched the deference shown visiting cattle barons, and he wanted to be part of it.

在养牛城镇,他看到了财富和权力,看到了拜访养牛大亨时所表现出的尊重,他想成为其中的一部分。

He was ready for the next chance, and Virgil provided it, sending news of an enormous silver strike in a remote corner of the Arizona desert.

他已经准备好迎接下一次机会,而维吉尔提供了这个机会,并发送了在亚利桑那州沙漠的偏远角落发现巨大银矿的消息。

In the fall of 1879, Wyatt Earp set out across the country once more, to rejoin his brothers in the next boomtown.

1879 年秋天,怀亚特·厄普再次出发穿越全国,前往下一个新兴城市与他的兄弟们会合。

It was a story tailor-made for a man of Wyatt’s disposition.

这是一个为怀亚特这样的性格量身定做的故事。

In 1877 a lone prospector ignored soldiers’ warnings that he would find only his tombstone in the hills outside their encampment, and headed into the Arizona desert.

1877 年,一名孤独的探矿者无视士兵们的警告,即他只能在营地外的山上找到他的墓碑,并前往亚利桑那州沙漠。

He soon stumbled into an outcropping of silver so rich that in places it was visible to the naked eye.

很快,他就偶然发现了一块露头的银矿,矿藏丰富到肉眼可见。

In no time, as one local wrote, “men of every shade and character” had rushed to the scene in a “mad career after money.”

正如一位当地人所写,很快,“形形色色、性格各异的男人”纷纷涌入现场,从事“疯狂的金钱事业”。

Katherine Benton-Cohen, Historian: : It was a genuine, real-deal boom camp.

历史学家凯瑟琳·本顿-科恩 (Katherine Benton-Cohen):这是一个真正的、实实在在的繁荣营。

It was growing by leaps and bounds, by the thousands each year.

它正在突飞猛进地增长,每年增加数千个。

Paul A.

保罗·A.

Hutton, Historian: : Here were immigrants from China, from England, from South America, from all parts of America and around the globe coming in search of fortune.

历史学家赫顿:这里有来自中国、英国、南美、美国各地和全球各地的移民前来寻求财富。

And here grew up a society that wanted to see itself as the new great city of the West.

这里成长了一个希望将自己视为西方新伟大城市的社会。

Narrator: : In fact, Tombstone’s future did look bright.

旁白::事实上,Tombstone 的未来看起来确实很光明。

Apart from a few raids by the Apache leader Geronimo, the Indian menace was a thing of the past, and there seemed to be no end to the silver.

除了阿帕奇首领杰罗尼莫的几次袭击之外,印第安人的威胁已成为过去,白银似乎也没有尽头。

Tombstone was even acquiring an air of respectability.

墓碑镇甚至有了一种受人尊敬的气氛。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : There are professionals, there are merchants, they bring their wives, there are ministers.

安德鲁·伊森伯格(Andrew Isenberg),历史学家::有专业人士,有商人,他们带着妻子,还有牧师。

It’s the Victorian age and there’s a Victorian elite in every one of these towns.

现在是维多利亚时代,每个城镇都有维多利亚时代的精英。

And they set the kind of social standard for everyone else.

他们为其他人设定了某种社会标准。

Katherine Benton-Cohen, Historian: : You had fancy restaurants and fancy hotels but you also had this very makeshift, violent, dirty mining camp where people were trying to make a living.

历史学家凯瑟琳·本顿-科恩 (Katherine Benton-Cohen):这里有高档餐​​厅和高档酒店,但也有这个非常临时、暴力、肮脏的采矿营地,人们试图在那里谋生。

And those things coexisted uncomfortably.

这些东西共存得令人不舒服。

Narrator: : There were only a few hundred people in Tombstone when Wyatt Earp first arrived; within two years there were seven thousand.

旁白::当怀亚特·厄普第一次来到墓碑镇时,墓碑镇只有几百人。两年之内,人数就达到了七千人。

Wyatt had never seen anything like it: exotic delicacies, gourmet restaurants, an oyster bar, a bowling alley, even an ice cream shop on Fourth Street where he liked to stop in every day.

怀亚特从未见过这样的地方:异国风味的美食、美食餐厅、牡蛎酒吧、保龄球馆,甚至第四街上有一家他每天都喜欢去的冰淇淋店。

Paul A.

保罗·A.

Hutton, Historian: : This was the generation that Mark Twain labeled the Great Barbecue.

历史学家赫顿::这一代人被马克·吐温称为“伟大的烧烤”。

This is the Gilded Age.

这是镀金时代。

It’s a nation on the make, and Wyatt Earp was on the make.

这是一个正在崛起的国家,怀亚特·厄普也在崛起。

Bob Boze Bell, Writer: : Wyatt’s first plan is to not do any more lawing, as he called it.

鲍勃·博兹·贝尔(Bob Boze Bell),作家:怀亚特的第一个计划是不再做任何法律工作,正如他所说的那样。

He’d had his fill in Kansas.

他在堪萨斯已经玩够了。

And he wanted to cash in, man.

他想赚钱,伙计。

He, you know, this was the new boomtown and he wanted to get in on the ground floor and he was gonna work this baby any way he could.

他,你知道,这是新兴的新兴城市,他想进入一楼,他会尽其所能地照顾这个孩子。

Narrator: : It had only been two years since the discovery of silver, but already the Earps had missed the first rush of opportunities.

旁白::距离发现白银才两年,但厄普家族已经错过了第一波机遇。

The lone prospectors of the early days were long gone, forced out in the blink of an eye by vast mines and mills run by capitalists from New York, San Francisco, and London.

早期孤独的探矿者早已不复存在,转眼间就被来自纽约、旧金山和伦敦的资本家经营的大型矿山和工厂赶了出来。

Bob Boze Bell, Writer: : The mines in Tombstone really brought an industrial attitude to southeastern Arizona that had never been there.

鲍勃·博兹·贝尔 (Bob Boze Bell),编剧: 墓碑镇的矿山确实给亚利桑那州东南部带来了前所未有的工业态度。

There had been other mines and stuff but this was a very sophisticated thing.

还有其他地雷之类的东西,但这是一个非常复杂的东西。

Narrator: : The Earps had come to Tombstone on a couple of wagons they planned to convert to stage coaches, but no sooner had they arrived than they were forced to sell out to competitors who sabotaged coaches and poisoned each others’ horses.

旁白:厄普夫妇乘坐几辆马车来到墓碑镇,他们计划将其改装成马车,但他们一到就被迫将其出售给破坏马车并毒害对方马匹的竞争对手。

With no one to rely on except each other, the Earp brothers cast around for opportunities, dabbling in mining claims, water rights, and gambling concessions.

除了彼此之外,没有人可以依靠,厄普兄弟四处寻找机会,涉足采矿权、水权和赌博特许权。

For Wyatt every venture seemed to bring home the same lesson: Tombstone’s riches were beyond the reach of a rough-edged young man with no capital, skills, or connections.

对于怀亚特来说,每一次冒险似乎都给他带来了同样的教训:墓碑镇的财富对于一个没有资本、技能或关系的粗鲁年轻人来说是无法企及的。

Bob Boze Bell, Writer: : And so then they’re looking around, and all of a sudden they said, you know, we need a shotgun rider on the stage.

鲍勃·博兹·贝尔(Bob Boze Bell),编剧::然后他们环顾四周,突然他们说,你知道,我们需要一名霰弹枪骑手出现在舞台上。

And it paid pretty good.

而且报酬相当不错。

So he couldn’t turn that down.

所以他无法拒绝。

There he is, back to lawing.

他就在那里,回到法律界。

Narrator: : “That,” Wyatt recalled, “is the cursedness of a shotgun messenger’s life — the loneliness of it.” As he loaded the Wells Fargo strongbox underneath the driver’s seat he knew what passengers and drivers alike were thinking.

旁白:“这,”怀亚特回忆道,“这就是猎枪信使生活的诅咒——它的孤独。”当他把富国银行的保险箱装到驾驶座下面时,他知道乘客和司机在想什么。

“Without him and his pestilential box,” he said, “their lives would be 90 per cent safer, and they know it.” When Wyatt was offered a job as one of Tombstone’s deputy sheriffs in the summer of 1880, he was glad to leave the stage business behind.

“没有他和他的瘟疫盒子,”他说,“他们的生活会安全 90%,他们也知道这一点。” 1880 年夏天,当怀亚特获得墓碑镇副警长之一的职位时,他很高兴放弃了舞台事业。

Shillingberg, Writer: : There’s no question that he was the most effective deputy in Tombstone.

希林伯格,作家::毫无疑问,他是墓碑镇最有效的副手。

He could go out, ride eighty miles to bring a prisoner back.

And, and he did on several occasions.

而且,他曾多次这样做过。

And it was recognized by the people in Tombstone.

并且得到了墓碑镇的人的认可。

They thought, “Okay now we, we have someone here that we can rely on.”

他们想:“好吧,现在我们有了可以信赖的人了。”

Narrator: : Earp soon began to realize that Tombstone’s politics could be treacherous for a lawman.

旁白:厄普很快就开始意识到墓碑镇的政治对执法者来说可能是危险的。

The area was deeply divided.

该地区被深深分割。

On one side were the mostly Republican townfolk who worked the mines; on the other were the ardently Democratic ranchers who’d arrived before the silver strike, and who were deeply suspicious of the newcomers.

一方面是在矿山工作的大多数共和党城镇居民;另一方面是另一方是在白银罢工之前到达的热情的民主党牧场主,他们对新来者深感怀疑。

This ranching crowd ranged from legitimate operators to straight-up outlaws.

这些牧场主的范围从合法经营者到彻头彻尾的不法之徒。

Somewhere in between were the cowboys.

介于两者之间的是牛仔。

Hutton, Historian: : “Cowboy,” in the 1870s and 1880s, was a derisive term.

历史学家赫顿:“牛仔”在 1870 年代和 1880 年代是一个讽刺性的术语。

It’s a term used for a lawless element.

这是一个用来形容不法分子的术语。

The cowboys tended to make a living working for the various ranchers, getting day jobs whenever they could, and especially by going down to Mexico and stealing cattle and running them north of the border.

牛仔们往往以为不同的牧场主工作为生,只要有可能就找临时工作,尤其是去墨西哥偷牛,然后把它们运到边境以北。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : Legal authorities in Arizona weren’t terribly bothered by the fact that there were crimes going on in Mexico.

历史学家安德鲁·伊森伯格:亚利桑那州的法律当局并没有对墨西哥发生的犯罪事件感到非常困扰。

And this willingness to look the other way allowed a lawlessness among the cowboys to go unchecked.

这种视而不见的态度使得牛仔们的无法无天行为得以肆无忌惮。

That made being a police officer in Tombstone a much bigger challenge than being a police officer in Dodge City or Wichita.

这使得在墓碑镇当一名警察比在道奇城或威奇托当一名警察面临更大的挑战。

Narrator: : Truth be told, Wyatt Earp had a lot in common with the cowboys: they looked like his past.

旁白:说实话,怀亚特·厄普和牛仔们有很多共同点:他们看起来就像他的过去。

But he saw his future in the class that was on the rise in Tombstone, and throughout the West.

He couldn’t know it, but he had enlisted in a much larger conflict.

历史学家罗伯茨::他是一个努力融入社会的人。

And one of the ways that he does that is by taking the side of business.

他做到这一点的方法之一就是站在商业一边。

He is an instrument, so to speak, of the modernizing forces in America.

可以说,他是美国现代化力量的工具。

He may not have thought of himself as such, but he becomes a foot soldier in the struggle to establish a new way of life.

他可能没有想到自己是这样的,但他成为了建立新生活方式的斗争中的一名步兵。

Narrator: : With Wyatt serving as deputy sheriff, Virgil as deputy U.S. marshal, and Morgan filling in as shotgun guard, the Earps were serving the cause of Tombstone’s establishment.

旁白::怀亚特担任副警长,维吉尔担任美国副元帅,摩根担任猎枪警卫,厄普家族为墓碑镇的建立服务。

They had earned respect, but by no stretch had they gained admission.

他们赢得了尊重,但还没有获得认可。

Virgil’s application to the Masons was declined, and the Earp women were shunned by polite society.

维吉尔向共济会的申请遭到拒绝,厄普妇女也受到上流社会的排斥。

Wyatt’s own proclivities did nothing to further the cause.

怀亚特自己的倾向并没有推动这一事业的发展。

旁白::怀亚特在家庭之外最亲密的朋友是一个享有可怕名声和神秘过去的人。

Earp had met Doc Holliday in Kansas, and Doc had come to Tombstone at Wyatt’s invitation.

厄普在堪萨斯州遇见了霍利迪医生,而霍利迪医生则是应怀亚特的邀请来到墓碑镇的。

John Henry Holliday had grown up in a good Georgia family, and was setting up shop as a dentist when, at the age of twenty-three, he suddenly cut all ties with his former life and headed west.

约翰·亨利·霍利迪在佐治亚州的一个富裕家庭长大,二十三岁时,他突然断绝了与以前生活的所有联系,前往西部。

Tuberculosis, a frustrated love affair with a cousin, a murder warrant — nobody knew for sure what had driven him away.

肺结核、与表弟失意的恋情、谋杀令——没有人确切知道是什么驱使他离开。

Whatever the case, he lived as if he had nothing to lose.

Roberts, Historian: : His southern background is, is, is an interesting part of his character because I think it, it defined who he was.

He had a, what you might call a, a code that he brought with him and maybe a chip on his shoulder as well.

他随身携带了一个,你可以称之为“密码”,也许他的肩膀上也有一个芯片。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : Wyatt would always say that Doc had saved his life in Kansas.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),编剧:怀亚特总是说多克在堪萨斯州救了他的命。

And we can’t find the exact details but that’s the kind of thing that you don’t really lie about.

我们无法找到确切的细节,但这是你不会真正撒谎的事情。

He could do a lot of really clever things and be a pleasure to be around, but then he’d have a little bit too much to drink and he’d be one of the most rotten people you could imagine.

他可以做很多非常聪明的事情,并且很高兴和大家在一起,但如果他喝得太多了,他就会成为你能想象到的最腐烂的人之一。

Jim Dunham, Historian: : Wyatt got a lot criticism both from his, from his family, from his brothers and from the people around him that he would stay close to Doc cause Doc is the most disreputable of the, of the bunch.

吉姆·邓纳姆(Jim Dunham),历史学家:怀亚特受到了来自他、他的家人、他的兄弟和他周围的人的很多批评,他们认为他会与多克保持密切关系,因为多克是这群人中最声名狼藉的一个。

Wyatt probably would have been a lot smarter politically to distance himself from Doc.

怀亚特如果与博士保持距离,在政治上可能会聪明得多。

Narrator: : In the spring of 1881, Earp thought his chance had finally come along.

旁白: 1881 年春天,厄普认为他的机会终于来了。

繁荣墓碑即将成为一个新县的所在地。

A county sheriff had influence, and made a good salary.

县治安官很有影响力,薪水也不错。

But what really drew Wyatt’s attention was the fact that the sheriff got to keep some of the taxes he collected.

但真正引起怀亚特注意的是,治安官必须保留他收取的部分税款。

Jim Dunham, Historian: : It’s estimated that, that he might have made thirty thousand dollars in a single year.

历史学家吉姆·邓纳姆:据估计,他一年可能赚三万美元。

And if that’s true you’re talking about, the average cowboy works for a dollar a day.

如果你说的是真的,那么牛仔平均每天工作一美元。

And here’s a man making thirty thousand dollars a year.

这是一个年收入三万美元的人。

Narrator: : Wyatt assumed that his northern, Union roots would give him an edge with the Republican governor.

旁白:怀亚特认为他的北方联邦血统会让他在与共和党州长的竞争中占据优势。

But he was out of his depth in the murky waters of territorial politics.

但他对领土政治的浑水一无所知。

Wyatt was baffled when the governor paid off some favors by appointing a local Democrat, John Behan, as the new county’s sheriff.

当州长任命当地民主党人约翰·贝汉(John Behan)担任新县治安官时,怀亚特感到很困惑。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : When you’d meet Johnny Behan you’d really like him.

They really needed an example made here.

Earp made an offer to Ike Clanton, a rancher who often bought stolen cattle from the cowboys, and knew their comings and goings.

厄普向牧场主艾克·克兰顿提出了报价,他经常从牛仔那里购买偷来的牛,并且知道他们的来去。

If Ike would secretly turn the suspects over to Wyatt, he could keep the Wells Fargo reward money.

If the cowboys ever got word that Ike had betrayed them, he’d be a dead man.

如果牛仔们得知艾克背叛了他们,他就死定了。

Casey Tefertiller, Writer: : This seemed to be a good deal for Ike because he’d make a lot of money; it seemed to be a good deal for Wyatt because he’d catch the robbers, which would give him kind of a heads up when he ran for sheriff.

凯西·特弗蒂勒(Casey Tefertiller),作家::这对艾克来说似乎是一笔不错的交易,因为他会赚很多钱;这对怀亚特来说似乎是一笔不错的交易,因为他可以抓住强盗,这会让他在竞选警长时有所警觉。

Narrator: : The plan came to nothing: the three suspects were all killed in unrelated disputes before Ike could reach them.

旁白::计划落空:三名嫌疑人在艾克赶到之前就在无关的纠纷中全部被杀。

There would be no reward for Ike, and no glory for Wyatt.

Rumors were swirling: some said they’d seen Ike in the telegraph office — maybe he’d wired for backup.

谣言四起:有人说他们在电报局看到了艾克——也许他已经打了电报寻求支援。

Tombstone’s newly formed vigilance committee was eager to teach the cowboys a lesson.

Do you want assistance?

您需要帮助吗?

What can we do to help you?” Did it ratchet up the situation?

我们能为您做些什么?是否加剧了局势的恶化?

You bet it did, because Virgil is almost in a situation where he has to, he has to act or he looks weak.

你敢打赌确实如此,因为维吉尔几乎处于一种他必须采取行动的境地,他必须采取行动,否则他看起来很软弱。

Narrator: : Outside Hafford’s saloon, Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan were joined by Doc Holliday, who had heard the rumors.

In a small lot near the edge of town, behind an enclosure known as the OK Corral, Ike Clanton and his younger brother Billy had been joined by ranchers Frank and Tom McLaury.

在城镇边缘附近的一块小空地上,在一个名为“OK Corral”的围栏后面,艾克·克兰顿和他的弟弟比利与牧场主弗兰克和汤姆·麦克劳里会合。

And the guys are probably hugging the building there just to kind of stay out of the cold and the dust.

这些人可能只是为了躲避寒冷和灰尘而拥抱那里的建筑物。

And so then these four guys come walking right up to 'em, I mean this close to 'em.

然后这四个人径直朝他们走来,我的意思是离他们这么近。

They could touch each other.

Gary L.

加里·L。

Roberts, Historian: : And Virgil says, “I’ve come to arrest you.

历史学家罗伯茨::维吉尔说:“我是来逮捕你的。

Throw up your hands.” At this point, the best evidence suggests that Frank says, “We will,” and goes for his gun and, and that Billy Clanton also goes for his gun.

Narrator: : In the confusion, Ike Clanton charged up to Wyatt and grappled with him for a moment.

旁白: 混乱中,艾克·克兰顿冲向怀亚特并与他扭打了一会儿。

Narrator: : “The people of Tombstone have reason to congratulate themselves that they have marshals who are dead shots,” crowed the San Francisco Exchange, “and we hope the Tombstoners appreciate the fact.” But not everyone took their cue from San Francisco moneymen.

旁白:“墓碑镇的人们有理由庆贺自己,因为他们拥有致命的元帅,”旧金山交易所欢呼道,“我们希望墓碑镇的人们能够认识到这一事实。”但并不是所有人都从旧金山的金融家那里得到了暗示。

In the small towns and farms outside Tombstone, many saw the Earps as unprovoked killers, and the dead men – the McLaurys in particular — as innocent victims.

在墓碑镇以外的小镇和农场,许多人将厄普家族视为无端杀手,而死者——尤其是麦克劳里斯家族——则是无辜的受害者。

Bob Boze Bell, Writer: : The McLaurys are kind of a tragic part of this story.

鲍勃·博兹·贝尔(Bob Boze Bell),编剧:麦克劳里一家是这个故事的悲剧部分。

I don’t think they were as bad as history has portrayed them because they get lumped in with the Clantons.

Narrator: : Trouble was brewing in the countryside.

旁白::农村正在酝酿着麻烦。

枪战第二天,弗兰克·麦克劳里、汤姆·麦克劳里和比利·克兰顿的尸体被陈列在殡仪馆,上面写着“在墓碑镇街道上被谋杀”。他们的送葬队伍是该镇历史上规模最大的。

Andrew Isenberg, Historian: : This is an enormous public spectacle, and many people come in from the surroundings areas.

Narrator: : “What a comment on the United States government,” the Arizona Star declared, “that a band of so-called officials rove over the country murdering human beings out of a spirit of revenge.” Newspapers across the West gave daily reports of Earp’s Vendetta, reinforcing doubts about the rogue lawman.

旁白:“这是对美国政府的评论,”《亚利桑那星报》宣称,“一群所谓的官员出于复仇精神在全国各地游荡,屠杀人类。”西方各地的报纸每天都会报道厄普的仇杀案,加深了人们对这位流氓执法者的怀疑。

Within a few years all of the big mines had closed down, and the outlaws disappeared along with the silver.

Tombstone became almost a ghost town: only the ranchers were left behind — including Ike Clanton.
