As you can hear, Dal is somebody who is capable of a lot of things, opening a radio show for instance.

今天，在我们的节目《人与历史》中，我们有两个不同的故事，两个不同的人，普通人，将历史掌握在自己手中。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
Act One.
第一幕。
Well we heard about Dal LaMagna actually by reading about him in the newspaper.
事实上，我们是通过报纸上的报道了解到达尔·拉马格纳的。
There was this article in the New York Times about a Sunni politician from Iraq who was in Washington, DC lobbying on Capitol Hill.
《纽约时报》上有一篇文章，讲述了一位来自伊拉克的逊尼派政治家在华盛顿特区国会山游说的故事。
And this article mentioned a tweezer magnate, the maker of the Tweezerman tweezer, which at that time I had never heard of, but since then, all the women in my life have informed me is the greatest thing ever.
这篇文章提到了一位镊子大亨，Tweezerman镊子的制造商，当时我从未听说过，但从那时起，我生命中所有的女人都告诉我这是有史以来最伟大的事情。
And this Tweezerman guy, Dal LaMagna, was doing all kinds of things with his millions to advance peace in the Middle East, including setting up meetings between this Sunni politician and members of Congress.
这个镊子人，达尔·拉马格纳，正在用他的数百万人做各种各样的事情来促进中东的和平，包括在这位逊尼派政治家和国会议员之间安排会议。
But at the time, he was planning what was going to be his biggest project of all, the thing you heard him talk about at the beginning of the show.
但当时，他正在计划他最大的项目，也就是你在节目开始时听到他谈论的事情。
This mission to get the Sunni resistance to sit down with coalition forces and try to get to terms for a ceasefire.
这一任务是让逊尼派抵抗力量与联军坐下来，试图达成停火协议。
We heard about that and we wondered, how this is going to go?
我们听说了这件事，我们想知道这将如何进行？
And so we called him up.
所以我们给他打电话。
And we asked him if he would be willing to take a little recorder with him.
我们问他是否愿意随身携带一台小录音机。
He came back with over 25 hours of sound.
他带着超过 25 小时的声音回来了。
And This American Life producer Sarah Koenig sifted through all that sound and then had Dal come into the studio to talk about it.
《This American Life》的制片人 Sarah Koenig 筛选了所有这些声音，然后让 Dal 来到录音室谈论它。
Here's Sarah.
这是莎拉。
When Dal LaMagna gets an idea, he charges at it with everything he's got.
当达尔·拉马格纳有了一个想法时，他会竭尽全力去实现。
He has bankrolled movies.
他资助了电影。
He ran for Congress in 1996 and spent $1 million of his own money on his campaign, literally all of his money at the time, and lost.
1996 年，他竞选国会议员，在竞选活动中花费了 100 万美元（实际上是他当时的全部资金），但最终失败了。
And then four years later, he ran again.
四年后，他再次跑步。
He's the kind of guy who would run for president even though he has no hope of actually becoming president.
他是那种即使没有希望真正成为总统也会竞选总统的人。
In fact, right now he is running for president.
事实上，他现在正在竞选总统。
And so when he got frustrated lobbying Washington about the war, he figured, why try to convince congressmen to convince the president to set a new course with the Iraqis?
因此，当他就战争游说华盛顿感到沮丧时，他想，为什么要试图说服国会议员说服总统为伊拉克人制定新的方针呢？
Cut out the middleman.
省掉中间商。
And so, back in June, he boarded a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight, fell sleep and woke up in Amman, Jordan where his ceasefire project would begin.
因此，早在六月，他就登上了约旦皇家航空公司的航班，睡着了，然后在约旦的安曼醒来，他的停火项目将在那里开始。
Address here?
地址在这里？
Dal Lamagna My address here?
达尔拉马尼亚 我的地址在这里？
I'm staying with Mohammed al-Dynee.
我和穆罕默德·戴尼住在一起。
al-Dynee.
阿尔-戴尼。
He's a member of the Iraq Parliament.
他是伊拉克议会议员。
We're staying here.
我们就住在这里。
Dal met Mohammed al-Dynee, the Sunni politician we read about in that New York Times article when Mohammed came to Washington, DC.
当穆罕默德来到华盛顿特区时，达尔遇到了穆罕默德·戴尼（Mohammed al-Dynee），他是我们在《纽约时报》的一篇文章中读到的逊尼派政治家。
He's one of the youngest members of Iraq's parliament, and he stayed at Dal's house for three weeks while Dal took him around Congress.
他是伊拉克议会最年轻的议员之一，他在达尔的家里呆了三个星期，达尔带他参观了国会。
And now Mohammed had invited Dal to come stay at his place in Amman.
现在穆罕默德邀请达尔来他在安曼的住处。
Amman is where lots of Iraqi political players are living now that it's so dangerous in Iraq.
安曼是许多伊拉克政治人物居住的地方，现在伊拉克非常危险。
So Amman is where Dal and Mohammed will begin to map out a peace agreement for one of the largest regional conflicts in the world.
因此，达尔和穆罕默德将在安曼开始为世界上最大的地区冲突之一制定和平协议。
Their strategy?
他们的策略？
Meetings, lots of meetings.
会议，很多会议。
Tomorrow morning, we're meeting Sheikh Harith al-Dari.
明天早上，我们将与谢赫·哈里斯·达里 (Sheikh Harith al-Dari) 会面。
Oh, really.
哦真的吗。
Sarah Koenig Dal's first meeting is with Sheikh Harith al-Dari, a Sunni cleric so important, the story goes, that President Bush has tried to meet with him and the sheikh has declined.
萨拉·科尼格·达尔 (Sarah Koenig Dal) 的第一次会面是与谢赫·哈里斯·达里 (Sheikh Harith al-Dari) 会面，这位逊尼派神职人员非常重要，据说布什总统曾试图与他会面，但谢赫拒绝了。
And if you're asking why he turned down the president of the United States but said yes to Tweezerman, here's why.
如果你问他为什么拒绝美国总统却答应了特威泽曼，原因如下。
Dal had unwittingly become a big deal in Mohammed's political circle because of Mohammed's trip to DC.
由于穆罕默德的华盛顿之行，达尔不知不觉地成为了穆罕默德政界的大人物。
Dal had thought the trip was kind of a bust.
达尔原以为这次旅行有点失败。
Even the New York Times story wasn't exactly positive.
就连《纽约时报》的报道也不完全是正面的。
It suggested that Mohammed might be a liar, or worse a criminal, which Dal thought was ridiculous, but still.
它表明穆罕默德可能是一个骗子，或者更糟的是一个罪犯，达尔认为这很荒谬，但仍然如此。
And they didn't meet nearly as many congressmen as they wanted.
而且他们并没有见到他们想要的那么多国会议员。
I was very disappointed, but from Mohammed's point of view, and from everybody who he represented this point of view back there, he was the first member of parliament from the national side to get any voice.
我非常失望，但从穆罕默德的角度来看，从他所代表的每个人的角度来看，他是第一个获得发言权的国民议会议员。
From their point of view, the story in the New York Times was terrific.
从他们的角度来看，《纽约时报》的报道非常棒。
The fact that it was a full page story with a picture and the fact that I was the one who facilitated it, raised my status dramatically amongst all these nationalist forces.
事实上，这是一个带有图片的整页故事，而且我是促成它的人，这一事实极大地提高了我在所有这些民族主义势力中的地位。
This first meeting with Sheikh Harith al-Dari is arguably the most important meeting he'll have his whole trip.
与谢赫哈里斯·达里的第一次会面可以说是他整个行程中最重要的会面。
Al-Dari is considered hugely influential in Sunni resistance groups, some of the same groups the American government calls insurgents.
达里被认为在逊尼派抵抗组织中具有巨大影响力，其中一些组织被美国政府称为叛乱分子。
Their plan is that once Dal has gotten in with Sheikh al-Dari, they can then go see the US commanders in Baghdad.
他们的计划是，一旦达尔与谢赫·达里达成一致，他们就可以去见驻巴格达的美军指挥官。
Dal can announce that he's met with the sheikh, the same one they've been trying to talk to but can't.
达尔可以宣布他会见了酋长，而他们一直试图与酋长交谈，但未能成功。
And after that, Dal will become the liaison between the Sunni resistance and the US forces.
此后，达尔将成为逊尼派抵抗组织和美军之间的联络人。
And they can start to talk ceasefire.
他们可以开始谈论停火。
So I just left my meeting with Sheikh Harith al-Dari.
我刚刚结束了与谢赫哈里斯·达里的会面。
I wasn't allowed to record it.
我不被允许录制它。
And so I frantically wrote notes.
于是我就疯狂地写笔记。
I've got 35 pages.
我有35页。
And the sheikh has a very, very gentle face.
酋长有一张非常非常温柔的脸。
He's a very calm man.
他是一个非常冷静的人。
And we go?
我们走吗？
OK.
好的。
It's two o'clock in the morning.
现在是凌晨两点。
I'm still up.
我还没起来。
Everybody else is in bed.
其他人都在床上。
Yesterday I went to see the sheikh.
昨天我去见酋长。
I guess I would have to admit I was a little nervous.
我想我不得不承认我有点紧张。
Well this meeting went on for three hours.
嗯，这次会议持续了三个小时。
I was starting to get hot.
我开始发热了。
I was in my suit.
我穿着西装。
And I was looking for my opportunity to ask him the question that I wanted to ask him.
我一直在寻找机会问他我想问他的问题。
Thinking that he actually had the power to call a ceasefire against American soldiers, I said to him, "Look, here's the situation.
我想到他实际上有权力要求对美国士兵停火，我对他说：“你看，情况是这样的。
You need to do something unexpected.
你需要做一些意想不到的事情。
If you can do something unexpected, you could break through this stalemate.
如果你能做一些意想不到的事情，你就能打破这个僵局。
And an unexpected thing to do would be for the resistance to have a ceasefire, to stop shooting at the American soldiers and to concentrate on Al-Qaeda."
意想不到的事情是抵抗组织停火，停止向美国士兵开枪，并集中精力打击基地组织。”
He looked at me and said, "You know, I can't tell the Iraqis what to do.
他看着我说：“你知道，我不能告诉伊拉克人该怎么做。
The Iraqis do what they do and what they want to do.
伊拉克人做他们所做的、想做的事。
They are against the occupation.
他们反对占领。
And for me, the only way I can influence them is if the Americans announced that they were going to withdraw." Of course as of now, no Iraqi believes America will ever withdraw.
对我来说，我能影响他们的唯一方法就是美国人宣布他们要撤军。”当然，到目前为止，没有伊拉克人相信美国会撤军。
And when I went outside, my first though was how I was a little disappointed.
当我出去时，我的第一个想法是我有点失望。
But this meeting did two things for Dal.
但这次会议给达尔带来了两件事。
First, the simple fact that he had met with the sheikh, like an audience with royalty, made him someone who everyone wanted to meet with.
首先，他像王室观众一样会见了酋长，这一简单的事实使他成为每个人都想见到的人。
And second, now at least he knew the starting point for negotiations.
其次，现在他至少知道了谈判的起点。
The sheikh wouldn't lean on the Sunnis unless the Americans announced a withdrawal.
除非美国人宣布撤军，否则酋长不会依赖逊尼派。
Since America wasn't about to announce a withdrawal, somewhere in there, he'd have to find some wiggle room.
由于美国不打算宣布撤军，因此他必须在其中找到一些回旋余地。
But this is just day one, a Tuesday.
但这只是第一天，星期二。
By the following Tuesday, Dal had sat through 15 meetings.
到接下来的星期二，达尔已经参加了 15 场会议。

So I'm doing it.

When you think about how many experts there are out there in this stuff and how many people have been working their whole careers on solving the problems in the Middle East, the fact that you would even fantasize about that sounds a little grandiose and crazy.

The Iraqis he's talking to, mostly Sunnis, call themselves nationalists, which means they want a secular government that's fair to everyone, Sunni, Shia and Kurd.
与他交谈的伊拉克人大多是逊尼派，他们自称民族主义者，这意味着他们想要一个对每个人（逊尼派、什叶派和库尔德人）都公平的世俗政府。
And so all of them have plenty of complaints about the current Shia led government of Nouri al-Maliki, which has reported ties to Shia militias and death squads.
因此，他们所有人都对现任什叶派领导的努里·马利基政府有很多抱怨，该政府据报道与什叶派民兵和敢死队有联系。

Hasam, ?] their translator, wait for her outside the American embassy so she can escort them in as VIPs.
哈萨姆，？]他们的翻译，在美国大使馆外等她，这样她就可以以贵宾身份护送他们进去。
Mary?
玛丽？
Mary Kohler I'm sorry.
玛丽·科勒 对不起。
The General has just been called away.
将军刚刚被叫走。
That's why I'm late.
这就是我迟到的原因。
So I'm going to have you meet with Major General Newton.
所以我要让你会见牛顿少将。
Oh God.
天啊。
I can't believe it.
我简直不敢相信。
Mary Kohler He's really sorry.
玛丽·科勒 他真的很抱歉。
Two hours earlier, the Shiite shrine in Samarra had been blown up for the second time, the most serious incident in months.
两个小时前，萨迈拉的什叶派圣地第二次被炸毁，这是几个月来最严重的事件。
And American commanders were scrambling.
美国指挥官们也忙得不可开交。
The government would declare a curfew and Baghdad would be shut down for days.
政府将宣布宵禁，巴格达将关闭数天。
But of course Dal knows none of this.
但达尔当然不知道这些。
Since Petraeus can't make it, Mary has arranged for them to sit down with the top British commanders, General Graeme Lamb and Major General Paul Newton.
由于彼得雷乌斯无法出席，玛丽安排他们与英国最高指挥官格雷姆·兰姆将军和保罗·牛顿少将坐在一起。
Lamb is in charge of reconciliation in Iraq.
兰姆负责伊拉克的和解。
You can tell this is the British office.
你可以看出这是英国办公室。
Exactly.
确切地。
Basically-- General Lamb And so you fit in where?
基本上——羔羊将军 那么你适合在哪里呢？
This is what all the meetings had been leading up to.
这就是所有会议的目的。
Dal would help Mohammed present the Sunni resistance position to the coalition forces.
达尔将帮助穆罕默德向联军展示逊尼派抵抗立场。
Finally, he was bringing the two sides together.
最后，他将双方团结在一起。
But right away, the meeting goes off course.
但会议很快就偏离了轨道。
First of all, nobody seems much impressed that Dal has met with Sheikh Harith al-Dari, Dal's supposed pipeline to the bigwigs in the Sunni resistance slash insurgency.
首先，似乎没有人对达尔会见谢赫·哈里斯·达里（Sheikh Harith al-Dari）印象深刻，据说达尔是逊尼派抵抗运动中大人物的管道。
Sure, al-Dari is a big deal, but he's sitting in Jordan.
当然，达里是个大人物，但他坐在约旦。
Then Mohammed starts to argue with Lamb.
然后穆罕默德开始与兰姆争论。
"The Maliki government is corrupt," he says.
“马利基政府腐败，”他说。
"Then change it," Lamb says.
“那就改变它，”兰姆说。
But the constitution is very clear.
但宪法是非常明确的。
If you wish to challenge the government through the constitutional process, that is open to this parliament.
如果你想通过宪法程序挑战政府，这对议会是开放的。
But Mohammed says even showing up to debate the constitution could get them killed by Maliki's people.
但穆罕默德表示，即使是参加宪法辩论也可能会被马利基的人民杀死。
This goes around and around.
这周而复始。
Mohammed raises all the complaints that Sunnis have been talking about all week in their meetings with Dal, the open border with Iran, how dangerous it is for Sunni members of parliament, the crooked Shia police.
穆罕默德提出了逊尼派在与达尔的会议上整周都在谈论的所有抱怨、与伊朗的开放边界、逊尼派议会议员的危险程度、不诚实的什叶派警察。
And the generals keep repeating, take it up with the Maliki government.
将军们不断重复，向马利基政府提出解决方案。
And then Dal steps in.
然后达尔介入了。
It's not useful here in this meeting to argue with the general about the failures and the problems with the Maliki government.
在这次会议上与将军争论马利基政府的失败和问题是没有用的。
It's just not useful because there's nothing they can do.
它只是没有用，因为他们无能为力。
The top commanders in Iraq say they make it a practice to listen to nobodies who might turn out to be somebody.
伊拉克高级指挥官表示，他们习惯于倾听那些可能成为大人物的小人物的意见。
They're smart enough to know that they can't predict where progress might lurk.
他们足够聪明，知道他们无法预测进展可能潜伏在哪里。
But they're not in the practice of wasting time.
但他们并没有浪费时间。
Finally General Newton asks them in his polite, British roundabout way, what exactly are you doing here?
最后牛顿将军用他礼貌的、英国式的迂回方式问他们，你们到底在这里做什么？
Do you mind if I ask a question?
你介意我问一个问题吗？
What General Lamb is painting here is that we are not in a position to do grand deals behind the back of the sovereign, elected government.
兰姆将军在这里所描绘的是，我们无法在主权的、民选政府的背后做大交易。
However, naturally we have channels of communication open to people who can deliver a reduction in bombs.
然而，我们自然有向能够减少炸弹数量的人们开放的沟通渠道。
I am unclear exactly what is being proposed.
我不清楚具体提议是什么。
That we should be put in touch with specific groups?
我们应该与特定群体保持联系吗？
What is being offered in the way of a practical opportunity for dialogue?
正在以何种方式提供切实可行的对话机会？
Here's when it becomes clear that the generals see them as essentially empty-handed.
这时，将军们显然认为他们基本上是两手空空。
They'd love a ceasefire, but is anyone actually offering one?
他们希望停火，但有人真的提出停火吗？
If there is a firm proposal involving being able to take that dialogue forward with armed groups, then I haven't heard what the specific proposal is.
如果有一个坚定的建议涉及能够与武装团体进行对话，那么我还没有听说具体的建议是什么。
Right, that's good.
对了，这样很好。
Sarah Koenig Mohammed speaks up.
莎拉·科尼格·穆罕默德发言。
We have eight groups, eight major groups.
我们有八个小组，八个主要小组。
Those people are ready to start talking, but it will be a confidential talk only with the coalition forces.
那些人已经准备好开始谈话了，但这只是与联军的秘密谈话。
That's constructive.
这是有建设性的。
So he has eight groups.
所以他有八组。
We'll start a dialogue.
我们将开始对话。
And they'll decide how to handle it.
他们将决定如何处理它。
But let's end on that note.
但让我们以这一点结束吧。
The generals don't say anything.
将军们都不说话。
The meeting ends.
会议结束。
Everyone seems a little testy.
每个人似乎都有点暴躁。
But Dal is feeling hopeful, until as they're leaving, Lamb says something to Dal.
但达尔感到充满希望，直到他们离开时，兰姆对达尔说了些什么。
For four years I've been having these conversations.
四年来我一直在进行这些对话。
Oh my God.
我的天啊。
Lamb's parting shot to me was when I tried to get his contact information and he wouldn't give it to me was, look I've been doing this for four years.
Lamb 对我的告别是当我试图获取他的联系信息但他不给我的时候，看我已经这样做了四年了。
I can't tell you how many meetings I've had with people saying they represent the resistance or this is going to happen and that is going to happen.
我无法告诉你我与人们举行了多少次会议，他们说他们代表抵抗运动，或者这将会发生，那将会发生。
So he stuck a pin in the balloon that had filled up during that meeting at the very end.
因此，他在最后那次会议期间充满的气球上插了一根别针。
Yeah, so I went from one high to the low.
是啊，所以我从一个高点跌到了一个低点。
Because he said that to you?
因为他对你这么说？
Dal Lamagna That that was like, oh my God, could this have just been theater?
达尔·拉玛格纳（Dal Lamagna） 那就像，天哪，这可能只是剧院吗？
All right.
好的。
This guy from America who's here.
这个来自美国的家伙在这里。
And he got here.
他到了这里。
He's here with this member of parliament.
他和这位议员在一起。
We have to meet with them.
我们必须与他们会面。
Let's just humor them.
让我们幽默一下他们吧。
Well it was rather difficult for me to even get out of bed this morning after my meetings with these two generals yesterday.
昨天与这两位将军会面后，今天早上我什至很难起床。
But there a moment there yesterday when I was in a meeting with General Lamb where I swore to myself that I was in one meeting and Mohammed was in another.
但昨天有一个时刻，当我与兰姆将军开会时，我向自己发誓，我参加了一次会议，而穆罕默德参加了另一次会议。
And I just got the reality that the people I'm talking to, they're so out of the game, so deluded themselves into what is that can happen.
我刚刚意识到，与我交谈的人，他们是如此地脱离了游戏，如此自欺欺人地认为会发生什么。
And I don't mean to be disparaging.
我并没有贬低的意思。
It's almost like I feel as if I should just pack up my bags and go home and forget the whole thing.
我几乎觉得我应该收拾行李回家，然后忘记整件事。
And you're just feeling-- you run around and now you find out your assumptions about what can be done are wrong.
你只是感觉——你四处奔波，现在你发现你对可以做什么的假设是错误的。
But he doesn't pack up and leave.
但他并没有收拾行李离开。
He wakes up on Saturday and tells the tape recorder, "You don't wait for things to happen.
他周六醒来，对录音机说：“你不会等待事情发生。
The entrepreneurial way is to make things happen." After just two days, he's back on mission.
创业之道就是让事情发生。”仅仅两天后，他就回来执行任务了。
He decides the generals weren't humoring him.
他认为将军们并不是在取笑他。
They were giving him an opportunity.
他们正在给他一个机会。
He and Mohammed just need to present them a concrete proposal, which they draw up, a three page document that's vague about a lot of things but does mention a timetable for US withdrawal and a ceasefire.
他和穆罕默德只需要向他们提出一份具体的建议，他们起草了一份三页纸的文件，其中很多内容都含糊其辞，但确实提到了美国撤军和停火的时间表。
Dal sends it to the generals.
达尔将其发送给将军们。
Weeks pass.
几周过去了。
He never hears anything back.
他再也没有收到任何回复。
Dal is pretty disappointed.
达尔相当失望。
We've had our meetings.

Thank you very much.
非常感谢。
And it's over.
一切都结束了。
I mean that's--
我的意思是那是——
So you're not hopeful about-- Dal Lamagna No.
所以你对——Dal Lamagna No. 不抱希望。
I've given up on the strategy of helping to broker a deal between the national forces and the coalition forces.
我已经放弃了帮助促成国家军队和联军之间达成协议的策略。
I've given up on that.
我已经放弃了。
So now I'm on to the other strategy.
所以现在我开始采取另一种策略。
One thing that I have to say about myself, and I think it's a good trait, is that I don't get trapped by my imagined solutions for things.
关于我自己，我必须说的一件事是，我不会被自己想象的解决方案所困，我认为这是一个很好的品质。
When I can see it's not working, I move on and I try something else.
当我发现它不起作用时，我会继续尝试其他方法。
And eventually I'll find something that does work.
最终我会找到一些有用的东西。
Here's his latest solution.

He's using videotape of the meetings he held in Amman to make commercials.
他使用他在安曼举行的会议的录像来制作广告。
In them, Iraqis say point blank what they want us to do, which is leave Iraq.
在这些信中，伊拉克人直截了当地说出了他们希望我们做的事情，那就是离开伊拉克。
He's using them as the ads for his presidential campaign.
他将它们用作总统竞选的广告。
And they're definitely unlike any other candidate advertising you've ever seen.
它们绝对不同于您见过的任何其他候选人广告。
He has gone from citizen diplomat to citizen ad man.

He'll fight this war stateside for now.
他现在将在美国境内参加这场战争。

We've arrived at act two of our program.
我们已经进入了计划的第二幕。
Act Two, Wenceslas Square.
第二幕，瓦茨拉夫广场。
We have this short story about the final days of the Cold War from Arthur Phillips.
我们有阿瑟·菲利普斯关于冷战最后几天的短篇故事。
In October of 1988, Tyler Vanalden received his second CIA posting, his first in the Communist bloc.
1988 年 10 月，泰勒·范纳尔登第二次获得中央情报局职位，这是他在共产主义集团中的第一个职位。
He was dispatched to Prague, Czechoslovakia posing as a State Department third secretary in the US embassy.
他被派往捷克斯洛伐克布拉格，在美国大使馆担任国务院三等秘书。
Eight weeks after his arrival in Prague, Tyler was standing at the cramped and decaying bar cafe he visited for an hour or so after work most days where he could practice a little Czech.
抵达布拉格八周后，泰勒大部分时间下班后都会在他常去的那家狭窄且破旧的酒吧咖啡馆里站上一个小时左右，在那里他可以练习一点捷克语。
It was a Friday.
那是一个星期五。
The room was filling up and growing noisy with talk and music.
房间里充满了谈话和音乐，变得越来越吵闹。
Tyler looked up.
泰勒抬起头。
Across the room, a beautiful young woman with short, blond hair was staring at him.
房间的另一边，一位金发短发的美丽年轻女子正盯着他。
She held his eye for a moment, then turned away, bit her lip, lit a cigarette with a shaking hand.
她盯着他的眼睛看了一会儿，然后转过身去，咬着嘴唇，用颤抖的手点燃了一根香烟。
"What made you suspicious?" his CIA supervisor Ed Marshall asked Tyler nine hours later in a dawn meeting back at the embassy.
“是什么让你产生了怀疑？”九小时后，他的中央情报局主管埃德·马歇尔在使馆举行的黎明会议上向泰勒提问。
"You're a good looking guy.
“你是一个好看的人。
It could have been real." "No," said Tyler, "she looked a lot like a girl I went out with in college.
这可能是真的。” “不，”泰勒说，“她看起来很像我大学时约会的一个女孩。
When I first saw her I really thought it was her for a second.
当我第一次看到她时，我真的以为是她。
There's a picture of us in the yearbook kissing at a hockey game.
年鉴上有一张我们在曲棍球比赛中接吻的照片。
And the little tattoo on her neck.
还有她脖子上的小纹身。
You could see it in the picture."
你可以在照片中看到它。”
"And your new friend, this--" Ed examined his notes.
“还有你的新朋友，这位——”艾德检查了他的笔记。
"This Jarmila has a tattoo on her neck?" "And the same haircut," Tyler said.
“这个贾米拉脖子上有纹身？” “还有同样的发型，”泰勒说。
"You look as sad as I feel," said the girl in not bad English, 20 uncertain minutes after he first saw her.
“你看起来和我一样悲伤，”在他第一次见到她 20 分钟后，女孩用不错的英语说道。
"Will you join me for a drink?"
“你愿意陪我喝一杯吗？”
Closer, she didn't really look much like Kim Wilsey , Tyler's happy, wholesome psych-major girlfriend for a few months of his senior year at Colby until she dumped him for being, quote, "emotionally unavailable, artificial, perfect, untouchable, impenetrable, affectless." But the Czech girl looked similar enough to attract him.
仔细一看，她看起来不太像金·威尔西（Kim Wilsey），泰勒在科尔比读大四的那几个月里，她是泰勒快乐、健康的心理专业女友，直到她抛弃了他，理由是他“在情感上不可用、做作、完美、不可触碰、难以理解、冷酷无情”。但这个捷克女孩的长相很相似，足以吸引他。
She ran the tips of her fingers over her tattoo and said she was embarrassed by her poor English.
她用指尖抚摸着自己的纹身，并表示她对自己蹩脚的英语感到尴尬。
"You are from USA.
“你来自美国。
What is it like there?
那里怎么样？
We are told some very strange things about USA," she said with a sad, ironic smile.
我们被告知一些关于美国的非常奇怪的事情，”她带着悲伤、讽刺的微笑说道。
She would like to visit the USA someday but this is surely not possible because-- she trails off.
她希望有一天能去美国，但这肯定是不可能的，因为——她的兴趣减弱了。
She's sad.
她很伤心。
Does the handsome diplomat Tyler know what it is like to be sad?
英俊的外交官泰勒知道悲伤是什么感觉吗？
To feel hopeless?
感到绝望吗？
"Yes, I have known this," he says in slightly poorer Czech than he can actually speak.
“是的，我知道这一点，”他用比他实际能说的稍微差一点的捷克语说道。
"I would like to help you if I can."
“如果可以的话，我愿意帮助你。”
Her boyfriend has beaten her, she whispers.
她的男朋友殴打了她，她低声说道。
Tyler looks duly horrified, though he nearly laughs at this excessive, almost baroque ornamentation.
泰勒看起来确实感到震惊，尽管他几乎对这种过度的、近乎巴洛克式的装饰感到好笑。
"I would like," she whispers so low that Tyler has to lean close and place his ear next to her lips, "to escape from Czechoslovakia somehow and from Igor."
“我希望，”她低声低语，泰勒不得不凑近她，将耳朵贴在她的嘴唇旁，“以某种方式逃离捷克斯洛伐克，逃离伊戈尔。”
She pours wine for them both.
她为两人倒了酒。
"You are most beautiful girl I think to seeing in my whole life," Tyler muttered in clumsy Czech.
“你是我一生中见过的最美丽的女孩，”泰勒用笨拙的捷克语嘀咕道。
"Nice," said Ed Marshall, not looking up from his note taking.
“很好，”艾德·马歇尔说，头也不回地记着笔记。
"Was that true, by the way?" "No. She's cute, nothing special," Tyler lied unnecessarily even as he wondered why.
“顺便问一下，这是真的吗？” “不。她很可爱，没什么特别的，”泰勒在奇怪为什么的时候撒了不必要的谎。
After almost two hours, a significant silence sat between them until she said, "Do you want to kiss me?" "More than anything I've ever wanted ever." She placed her soft lips on his just long enough for him to taste a drop of her wine.
将近两个小时后，他们之间陷入了一阵沉默，直到她说：“你想吻我吗？” “比我想要的任何东西都多。”她柔软的嘴唇贴在他的身上，时间刚好让他尝到了一滴她的酒。
She pulled back hastily.
她连忙后退。
"Oh dear God what time it is." She wrenched her head to look at the clock behind her on the stained, brown and white wall and executed a flawless Cinderella.
“天哪，现在几点了。”她扭过头，看着身后污迹斑斑的棕色和白色墙壁上的时钟，完成了一个完美的灰姑娘。
"I am so late.
“我这么晚了。
He will know.
他会知道的。
He will ask me.
他会问我。
Oh Tyler, don't forget me.
噢，泰勒，别忘了我。
Please, you are so good and I so much need something good." A flustered gathering of her things, a momentary hand on his cheek, and out the door she ran in tearful panic.
拜托，你太棒了，我非常需要一些好东西。”她慌乱地收拾好自己的东西，一只手瞬间放在了他的脸颊上，然后她带着泪水惊慌地跑出了门。
"And you boiled with desire," said Ed Marshall.
“你的欲望沸腾了，”埃德·马歇尔说。
"Yep," said Tyler.
“是的，”泰勒说。
"And felt conspicuous.
“而且感觉很显眼。
And got stuck with the tab."
并被标签卡住了。”
That afternoon, a second meeting with a larger team was held in a secure room at the embassy.
当天下午，与更大团队的第二次会议在大使馆的一个安全房间举行。
They worked up a plan.
他们制定了一个计划。
She would surface again, no question.
毫无疑问，她会再次浮出水面。
And when she did, Tyler would churn with contradictions.
当她这样做时，泰勒就会充满矛盾。
Relieved she's OK, but his pride injured that she ran off.
她没事了，这让他松了一口气，但她的逃跑却让他的自尊心受到了伤害。
Infatuated, but cautious.
痴情，却又谨慎。
When alcohol entered the scene, he would slowly repeat that he hated his job.
当酒精进入场景时，他会慢慢地重复说他讨厌他的工作。
The US was a mess, politics a joke, blah blah blah.
美国一团糟，政治就是个笑话，等等等等。
Every night for a week, Tyler returned to drink at The Wounded Bear.
一周以来，泰勒每天晚上都会回到受伤的熊酒吧喝酒。
Seven nights, giving up later each night, dribbling smaller and smaller tips behind him.
七个晚上，每天晚上都放弃，在他身后运球越来越小。
Night eight, December 14, 1988.
1988 年 12 月 14 日，第八晚。
She appears, very late, after Tyler has apparently drunk quite a bit alone in the noisy crowd.
她出现得很晚，泰勒显然在喧闹的人群中独自喝了很多酒。
"Oh thank God," she murmurs as she slides next to him.
“哦，感谢上帝，”她一边低声说道，一边滑到他身边。
"I hoped, Tyler, but I did not dare to dream." He pulls away from her.
“我希望如此，泰勒，但我不敢做梦。”他远离她。
She apologizes.
她道歉了。
He pouts.
他撅起嘴。
"Do not be like that please." "Then how should I be?" "If only you knew what Igor was like you would not be cruel to me.
“请不要这样。” “那我该怎么办？” “如果你知道伊戈尔是个什么样的人，你就不会对我残忍了。
I thought you were different.
我以为你与众不同。
So this is how you are."
所以你就是这样的。”
She stands and leaves again.
她站起来再次离开。
This time though, he swears aloud, drops money on the table, runs after her.
但这一次，他大声咒骂，把钱扔在桌子上，然后追赶她。
He reaches her outside on the cobbled street, the snow just starting to turn heavy.
他在外面的鹅卵石街道上找到了她，雪刚刚开始变大。
He grabs her arm, turns her towards him.
他抓住她的手臂，将她转向他。
He tries to kiss her.
他试图吻她。
"Have you gone mad?" she hisses in terror, pulls away.
“你疯了吗？”她惊恐地发出嘶嘶声，退开。
"We must not be seen together." And she glides over the snow into an alley.
“我们不能被人看见在一起。”她滑过雪地进入一条小巷。
He has her tightly now.
他现在紧紧地拥着她。
"My God you are such a handsome," she whispers.
“天哪，你真英俊。”她低声说道。
"But Igor--"
“但是伊戈尔——”
Igor is cruel, a weasel, a wolf of a man.
伊戈尔是残忍的，是一只黄鼠狼，是一头狼。
He terrifies her.
他吓坏了她。
She thinks he's having her watched, perhaps even right now.
她认为他正在监视她，也许就在现在。
If only she could think of how to be free of him.
如果她能想到如何摆脱他就好了。
"I'll kill him," boasted engorged Tyler Vanalden.
“我要杀了他，”泰勒·范纳尔登兴奋地吹嘘道。
"I have diplomatic immunity." "Oh dear heaven, God no. He's powerful.
“我有外交豁免权。” “噢，天哪，上帝啊，不。他很强大。
He works for--"
他为——”
"Of course he does," said Marshall the next morning.
“他当然知道，”第二天早上马歇尔说。
"Bless his heart."
“祝福他的心。”
Weasel Igor worked for some vague division of the secret police.
黄鼠狼伊戈尔为秘密警察的某个模糊部门工作。
Jarmila certainly didn't know its name or where it was, only that Igor's job was to find out secrets about foreigners working in Czechoslovakia.
雅米拉当然不知道它的名字，也不知道它在哪里，只知道伊戈尔的工作是找出在捷克斯洛伐克工作的外国人的秘密。
And she simply could not think of how to escape his violent and lustful embrace described in increasing moist detail.
她根本想不出如何逃离他越来越湿润的细节所描述的暴力而淫荡的拥抱。
She would go anywhere with Tyler if only she knew she was free and safe.
只要她知道自己自由且安全，她就会和泰勒一起去任何地方。
His kiss makes her bold.
他的吻让她变得大胆。
She will meet him.
她会遇见他。
Enough of fear.
足够的恐惧。
She whispers an address and a time next Monday night, her friend's apartment.
她低声说出了下周一晚上的地址和时间，她朋友的公寓。
"For God's sake, be discreet going there.
“看在上帝的份上，去那里要小心。
I have an idea," she says, "but I am afraid to ask you." "Ask me anything.
我有一个想法，”她说，“但我不敢问你。” “有什么事就问我吧。
Anything at all," he says.
任何事情，”他说。
If you could bring me something to show Igor.
如果你能给我带点东西给伊戈尔看的话。
Nothing really of value.
没有什么真正有价值的东西。
I don't care what it is, a box of paper clips with your ambassador's name on them, then maybe I'm thinking, I can make Igor think I'm useful.
我不在乎它是什么，一盒印有你们大使名字的回形针，然后也许我在想，我可以让伊戈尔认为我有用。
I will not tell him about you of course.
我当然不会告诉他你的事。
I am so frightened of him." She trembled.
我很害怕他。”她颤抖着。
She kissed him.
她吻了他。
"Until Monday," she sobbed.
“直到星期一，”她抽泣着。
And off she ran looking all around in fear.
她跑开，恐惧地环顾四周。
"So who is this traitor, Tyler Vanalden?" Ed Marshall asks Tyler and the team.
“那么这个叛徒是谁，泰勒·范纳尔登？”艾德·马歇尔询问泰勒和团队。
Tyler, they decided, is eager to please her but still wary of doing any real harm, more out of habit than principle.
他们认为，泰勒渴望取悦她，但仍然小心翼翼地避免造成任何真正的伤害，更多的是出于习惯而不是原则。
And so he has photocopied the personal information page from his nominal state department boss's file.
因此，他从名义上的国务院老板的档案中复印了个人信息页。
Nothing much more than you could find in Washington, DC phone book, but plainly stamped confidential.
除了在华盛顿特区的电话簿上找到的东西之外，没有什么比你能找到的更多的东西了，但明显地盖上了机密印章。
This first stolen document was prepared.
第一份被盗的文件已经准备好了。
How Vanalden had procured it was determined.
范纳尔登如何获得它已经确定。
His attitude to his lover for Monday was debated and decided.
周一他对爱人的态度是经过辩论和决定的。
Bits of pivotal dialogue were drafted and rehearsed.
起草并排练了一些关键对话。
"This is for you," said Tyler, panting, nervous, pushing the Syrian envelope into her hands when she opened the door of her friend's apartment.
“这是给你的，”泰勒打开朋友公寓的门时，紧张地气喘吁吁地把叙利亚信封塞到自己手中。
"No," she cried, letting the poisonous thing fall.
“不，”她叫道，让有毒的东西掉下来。
"I do not care.
“我不在乎。
I do not want to see it.
我不想看到它。
It does not matter.
不要紧。
Only you matter." And she pulled Tyler Vanalden onto an old mattress on the floor of the bear, unnecessarily under-heated room where, to the audible accompaniment of a cassette of Beatles songs in Czech, and the inaudible accompaniment of hidden video cameras, Tyler displayed a wide range of emotional turmoil, having passable sex with Jarmila Herbeck of the Czech intelligence service.
只有你才重要。”然后她把泰勒·范纳尔登拉到熊的地板上的旧床垫上，房间里的暖气不必要地不足，在捷克披头士乐队歌曲磁带的清晰伴奏和隐藏摄像机的听不见的伴奏下，泰勒表现出了各种各样的情绪混乱，与捷克情报部门的贾米拉·赫贝克发生了还过得去的性爱。
"O my brave boy," she exalted an hour later over the document that she saw at once was perfectly worthless, but which was her novice traitor's tentative first step.
“噢，我勇敢的孩子，”一个小时后，她为这份文件而欢呼，她立刻看到这份文件完全毫无价值，但这只是她的新手叛徒试探性的第一步。
While she did feel a thrill that she could actually do this, inspire men to treachery, she was also slightly insulted that he didn't price her affections any higher.
虽然她确实为自己能做到这一点而感到兴奋，激发男人的背叛，但她也因为他没有对她的感情付出更高的代价而感到轻微的侮辱。
A form 12C Department of State personnel file cover page?

It was like bringing a few wilted daisies.
这就像带来几朵枯萎的雏菊。
She clapped her hands and stared at him in wonder and love.
她拍着手，惊奇而充满爱意地盯着他。
And then her face suddenly wrinkled with worry.
然后她的脸突然因担忧而皱了起来。
"How do I use this now with Igor?" she asked, not having thought through her scheme at all, just a simple girl in way over her head.
“我现在如何对伊戈尔使用这个？”她问道，根本没有考虑过自己的计划，只是一个超出她头脑的简单女孩。
Tyler took manly control of her fears, rehearsed her.
泰勒以男子气概控制了她的恐惧，为她排练。
His sister was an actress, he said.
他说，他的妹妹是一名演员。
Tyler was very happy.

The candle did gutter in the cold apartment.
蜡烛在寒冷的公寓里熄灭了。
The mattress did smell of her perfume.
床垫上确实有她的香水味。
The old town square did glow gold outside the window.
窗外的老城广场确实泛着金色的光芒。
That there were other realities shrouding this one did not mean this one wasn't there.
有其他现实笼罩着这一现实并不意味着这一现实不存在。
"You really are so very beautiful," he said.
“你真的非常非常美丽，”他说。
"Like nothing I've ever seen."

Just like they're trying to get you addicted to her.
就像他们想让你对她上瘾一样。
Now, how are you feeling about all this?" "I'm watching from six miles up," responded Tyler, believing it himself.
现在，你对这一切感觉如何？” “我在六英里高的地方看着，”泰勒回答道，他自己也相信了。
Marshall's ad hoc team in the embassy kept control of Operation Brief Encounter for a few more weeks.
马歇尔在大使馆的特设小组将短暂遭遇行动的控制权又维持了几周。
And into the middle of January, the new lovers met.
到了一月中旬，新恋人就见面了。
Late at night, lying in her arms, shaking with cold and fear and shame, he would whisper, "What am I doing?
深夜，他躺在她的怀里，因寒冷、恐惧和羞愧而颤抖，低声说：“我在做什么？
This is all wrong." And Jarmila would have to steady him.
这都是错误的。”贾米拉必须让他稳定下来。
All of this Tyler understood and duly filed in his well-written reports.
泰勒理解所有这些，并在他写得很好的报告中适当地记录下来。
But once, she was waiting for him at the apartment sobbing and drinking, and she had a black eye.
但有一次，她在公寓里边哭边喝酒等他，眼睛都肿了。
The sight of it so enraged Tyler that he punched a wall, breaking his wrist.
看到这一幕，泰勒非常愤怒，他猛击墙壁，摔断了手腕。
As he's having it bandaged later that night by an embassy nurse, he replays the moments leading up to impact over and over again in his mind's eye trying to understand them.
那天晚上晚些时候，当他由大使馆护士包扎伤口时，他在脑海中一遍又一遍地回放导致撞击的时刻，试图理解它们。
He recalls gently touching Jarmila's eye, showing the appropriate horrified concern tinged with anger, though in fact he was invisibly amused and just curious to see how the Czechs had achieve the effect.
他回忆起轻轻抚摸贾米拉的眼睛，表现出适当的恐惧和担忧，还夹杂着愤怒，尽管事实上他心里隐隐感到好笑，只是好奇捷克人是如何达到这种效果的。
Makeup was too risky, so subcutaneous dye?
化妆风险太大，皮下染？
A temporary tattoo?
临时纹身？
Henna?
指甲花？
When he saw and felt that the bruise was real, saw her flinch from his touch, he turned away to gather his thoughts.
当他看到并感觉到那处瘀伤是真实的，看到她因他的触摸而退缩时，他转过身来整理思绪。
And as he was deciding how he was supposed to react, he was also trying to understand why he was so upset, though he realized it a split second later.
当他决定自己应该如何反应时，他也试图理解为什么自己如此沮丧，尽管他很快就意识到了这一点。
They had really punched her.
他们确实打了她一拳。
He knew that a display of ostensible rage was needed even as he was in fact enraged.
他知道即使他实际上很愤怒，也需要表现出表面上的愤怒。
He remembers that he thought to myself, I suppose I would punch the wall in frustration, even as he remembers seeing, with some surprise, his fist already approaching the wall.
他记得他心里想，我想我会沮丧地用拳头击打墙壁，尽管他记得有些惊讶地看到他的拳头已经接近墙壁了。
And he remembers thinking, I should pull this punch so I don't hurt myself.
他记得他当时想，我应该收紧这一拳，这样我就不会伤害自己。
But by then, his fist had been seized by the fist it was portraying.
但此时，他的拳头已经被它所描绘的拳头抓住了。
And they had punched the wall together.
他们一起用拳头撞墙。
Jarmila rewinds the video, recalls his face as he approached her, touched her injury.
贾米拉倒回视频，回忆起他走近她、抚摸她伤口时的脸。
An unforgettable look in his eye, sadness and anger and disappointed plans for the night ahead.
他的眼神令人难忘，悲伤、愤怒，以及对今晚的计划感到失望。
He's like a child, lusts and rages and muddled loyalties.
他就像一个孩子，欲望、愤怒和混乱的忠诚。
And she's helping him grow into a man, a man who will do anything she asks.
她正在帮助他成长为一个男人，一个愿意做她要求的任何事情的男人。
She knows she, they, will have to be more careful with him now as she watches the green infrared fist hit the black void again and again.
她知道，当她看着绿色的红外线拳头一次又一次击中黑色虚空时，她，他们，现在必须更加小心地对待他。
And there's something more she sees now, replaying his entrance into the apartment, recalling his heart-broken twisted face.
现在她看到了更多的东西，回放着他进入公寓的情景，回想起他那张因心碎而扭曲的脸。
He's more than what management and the steering committee have seen in him.
他比管理层和指导委员会所看到的更优秀。
He's not just a lustful fool, a boy of the fraternity.
他不只是一个好色的傻瓜，一个兄弟会的男孩。
And he wouldn't have responded this way, with this devotion and extraordinary intelligence payoff, to just some semi-trained prostitute coughed up by the intelligence service.
他不会以这种方式，以这种奉献精神和非凡的情报回报，对情报部门挖出来的一些半受过训练的妓女做出这样的反应。
This boy has a unique ability to give himself to something or someone, an ability that would only express itself when he met precisely the right object of devotion, her.
这个男孩有一种独特的能力，可以将自己奉献给某事或某人，这种能力只有在他遇到正确的奉献对象——她时才会表现出来。
She rewinds the tape again.
她再次倒带。
"I really like this one," Johnny 1950 said to Jarmila as he entered one morning, drawing from his briefcase the videocassette of one of her recent evenings with Source Prep School.
“我真的很喜欢这个，”一天早上，约翰尼 1950 走进贾米拉时对他说道，他从公文包里拿出了她最近在 Source Prep School 度过的一个晚上的录像带。
Someone had labeled the betamax cassette, "February 1, 1989, four and a half stars." "It's excellent work," he continued.
有人给 betamax 磁带贴上了“1989 年 2 月 1 日，四颗半星”的标签。 “这是一项出色的工作，”他继续说道。
"You do excellent work for the Party, comrade."
“同志，你为党做了出色的工作。”
He was a creepy little bald man, and she had gagged when he maneuvered to direct the video surveillance of her trysts.
他是一个令人毛骨悚然的秃头小男人，当他操纵监控她幽会的视频时，她窒息了。
He was called Johnny 1950 because in 1950, when he was 11 and a farm boy in Canada, his Canadian, communist parents decided that what was happening in post-war, Eastern Europe was the coming of the world proletarian democratic paradise, the end of history.
他被称为约翰尼1950，因为1950年，当他11岁，还是加拿大的一个农场男孩时，他的加拿大共产党父母认为，战后东欧所发生的事情是世界无产阶级民主天堂的到来，是历史的终结。
And they were not going to sit on their six acres in Alberta and let it pass them by.
他们不会坐视阿尔伯塔省的六英亩土地而坐视不管。
They sold all their belongings and were three of a very, very small number of people who emigrated to Czechoslovakia when most Czechs were pulling their hair out trying to emigrate somewhere like Alberta.
他们卖掉了所有财产，是极少数移民到捷克斯洛伐克的人中的三人，而当时大多数捷克人都在竭尽全力试图移民到阿尔伯塔省等地方。
He was ugly and lonely.
他丑陋而孤独。
He repeatedly fell hopelessly in love with unattainably beautiful women.
他多次无可救药地爱上了遥不可及的美丽女人。
He would have done anything for Jarmila.
他愿意为贾米拉做任何事情。
[CHANTING DEMONSTRATIONS] Six days of demonstrations against the communist government took everyone by surprise, but the force with which the Czechs dealt with it surprised no one in the US embassy who understood the permanent nature of communism.
[高呼示威游行] 为期六天的反对共产主义政府的示威活动让所有人都感到惊讶，但捷克人处理示威的力度却没有让美国大使馆中了解共产主义永久本质的人感到惊讶。
The arrests of 800, including the dissident playwright Vaclev Havel, proved that this bear was here to stay.
逮捕了 800 人，其中包括持不同政见剧作家瓦茨列夫·哈维尔 (Vaclev Havel)，这证明了这只熊将继续存在。
At the same time, Ed Marshall decided that the value of Operation Brief Encounter was proven and should now be managed as a piece of the big picture.
与此同时，埃德·马歇尔认为“短暂相遇行动”的价值已经得到证明，现在应该将其作为大局的一部分进行管理。
So the forged documents, the chronology of hand-offs, the scripts, the course of the love affair and Tyler Vanalden's personality would all be overseen by an operational guidance group back in Langley, Virginia.
因此，伪造的文件、交接的时间顺序、剧本、恋情的过程以及泰勒·范纳尔登的个性都将由弗吉尼亚州兰利的一个运营指导小组监督。
The operational guidance group set to work, staffed with Czech culture experts, psychologists specializing in the emotional terrain of romance and treachery, an in-house playwright, forgers, counterintelligence strategists, game theorists and two mid-level managers.
行动指导小组开始工作，成员包括捷克文化专家、专门研究浪漫和背叛情感领域的心理学家、一名内部剧作家、伪造者、反情报战略家、博弈论专家和两名中层管理人员。
One, a man named Michael Boortz, who had, for the last three years, been a paid agent of the KGB.
其中一位名叫迈克尔·博尔茨（Michael Boortz），在过去三年里一直是克格勃的受薪特工。
It didn't take long for the KGB to identify Operation Brief Encounter and to learn that the false information the Czechs had received from Vanalden had already led to the arrest and near execution of a loyal, Romanian intelligence officer.
没过多久，克格勃就发现了“短暂相遇”行动，并得知捷克从范纳尔登收到的虚假信息已经导致一名忠诚的罗马尼亚情报官员被捕并差点被处决。
Clearly, the Czechs should be notified that they were being lied to.
显然，应该通知捷克人他们被欺骗了。
But there was a problem.
但有一个问题。
It would be unacceptable to end that operation with any suddenness since the Americans would immediately begin looking for leaks, putting Boortz at unnecessary risk.
突然结束这项行动是不可接受的，因为美国人会立即开始寻找泄密事件，从而使布尔茨面临不必要的风险。
In the end, they told the head of the Czech service that Source Prep School was contaminated, and any information gained from him was to be considered 100% unreliable.
最后，他们告诉捷克部门的负责人，源预科学校受到了污染，从他那里获得的任何信息都被认为是100%不可靠的。
However, under no circumstances was the female agent to be told anything which would cause her to have any, quote, "difficulties playing the role to which she was accustomed."
然而，在任何情况下，都不得告诉女特工任何可能导致她“难以扮演她所习惯的角色”的事情。
Jarmila sensed that something was wrong.
贾米拉感觉到事情有些不对劲。
The steering committee for Source Prep School was being reshuffled, and there was a new, second rate team now in charge of her life.
源预科学校的指导委员会正在改组，现在有一个新的二流团队负责她的生活。
The USA attitudes expert, who spoke no English, the playwright who mooned like a little girl over Vaclev Havel stories.
这位不会说英语的美国态度专家，一位像小女孩一样沉思于瓦茨列夫·哈维尔故事的剧作家。
And honestly, by now they had more than enough footage to start blackmailing Prep School.
老实说，现在他们已经有足够的镜头来敲诈预科学校了。
Why was she being treated like this?
为什么她会受到这样的对待？
She deserved respect and promotion.
她值得尊重和晋升。
She bleached her hair for this.
为此，她漂白了头发。
She had gotten a stupid tattoo for this.
她为此纹了一个愚蠢的纹身。
She had even convinced vile little Johnny 1950 to punch her in the eye twice since he had been so feeble on the first swing.
她甚至说服了可恶的小约翰尼 1950，因为他在第一次挥杆时非常虚弱，所以对她的眼睛打了两拳。
And obviously, she had sacrificed in other ways, even if Prep School was not an ugly man.
显然，她在其他方面也做出了牺牲，即使预科学校不是一个丑陋的男人。
The group in Virginia received a directive in July telling them to slow down a bit.
弗吉尼亚州的组织在 7 月份收到了一项指示，要求他们放慢脚步。
And now Ed had to tell Tyler that weeks were going to pass in which Tyler was simply to quote, "carry on without making any obvious progress, without handing over any tangible lies, just pretending to want her while resisting her efforts to force things."
现在艾德必须告诉泰勒，几周过去了，泰勒只是简单地引用，“继续下去，没有取得任何明显的进展，没有交出任何切实的谎言，只是假装想要她，同时抵制她强迫事情的努力。”
"The director is trying to stoke their hunger, Ty," Ed said.
“导演试图激发他们的饥饿感，泰，”艾德说。
"We want them to focus their desires, really boil for something specific.
“我们希望他们能够集中自己的愿望，真正为某些特定的事情而沸腾。
And then we can pass them a zinger.
然后我们就可以给他们带来欢乐。
Look, I'm sorry.
听着，我很抱歉。
I really am.
我确实是。
I know this isn't easy.
我知道这并不容易。
Jesus, Ty, look at your face.
天啊，泰，看看你的脸。
Are you still up for this?"
你还想干这个吗？”
When he left Ed Marshall's office, Tyler's heart was thumping.
当泰勒离开埃德·马歇尔的办公室时，他的心砰砰直跳。
He had won himself at least four perfect meetings with her in which there was to be no talk of work.
他为自己赢得了至少四次与她完美的会面，其中没有谈论工作。
He invited her for a picnic in the countryside.
他邀请她去乡下野餐。
Her steering committee was divided.
她的指导委员会意见不一。
No video or audio team could hide near the picnic, argued Yuri from eavesdropping.
尤里辩称，没有视频或音频团队可以躲在野餐附近，以免偷听。
There was no question of wiring her considering that she and Prep School were likely to become intimate.
考虑到她和预科学校很可能会变得亲密，给她打电话是毫无疑问的。
Johnny 1950 left it up to Jarmila, who couldn't see how she could say no.
约翰尼 1950 把这件事留给了贾米拉，但贾米拉不明白她怎么能拒绝。
They ate in a wooded grove, not far from a stream, a lover's scene from the Bohemian countryside under any regime.
他们在离小溪不远的树林里吃饭，无论在哪个政权下，这都是波西米亚乡村的情人场景。
Tyler fed her grapes.
泰勒给她喂葡萄。
He made her laugh with the story of how he had snuck out of Prague to meet her.
他讲述了他如何偷偷溜出布拉格来见她的故事，逗得她开怀大笑。
She started to say she was nervous about Igor, but he merely put his finger on her lips.
她开始说她对伊戈尔感到紧张，但他只是将手指放在她的嘴唇上。
"Not now," he said.
“现在不行，”他说。
"No Igor today."
“今天没有伊戈尔。”
After lunch, he slept soundly with his head on her lap and she stroked his hair.
午饭后，他枕着她的腿睡得很香，她抚摸着他的头发。
She debated whether to broach work again.
她犹豫是否要再次开展工作。
When he woke, he described his parents' house on Cape Cod, and Vic, the Labrador he had loved and lost.
当他醒来时，他描述了他父母在科德角的房子，以及他曾经深爱却失去的拉布拉多犬维克。
After a long silence, he said, "You know, I would do anything for you.
沉默良久，他说道：“你知道，我愿意为你做任何事。
Just ask.
就问吧。
You have more power over me than any blackmailer."
你对我的影响力比任何勒索者都大。”
"What a strange thing to say," she said quietly.
“这话说得多么奇怪啊，”她平静地说。
"Just an expression," he said.
“只是一种表达，”他说。
"But now that I think about it, I don't think I would respond to blackmail.
“但现在我想了想，我认为我不会对勒索做出回应。
For you though, I'd jump through fire."
但为了你，我愿意跳火。”
He'd been thinking just how to say this for some time now to make it sound like the natural conversation of an unsuspecting, traitorous diplomat.
一段时间以来，他一直在思考如何说这句话，让这句话听起来像是一个毫无戒心的叛徒外交官的自然对话。
If her service was thinking about making the shift, using the pictures of him they must certainly have had by now, he wanted her to argue against it and for a continuation of the love affair instead.
如果她的服务人员正在考虑进行转变，使用他们现在肯定已经拥有的他的照片，他希望她反对这一点，并支持继续这段恋情。
At the steering committee's disorganized meeting on the first of August, Johnny 1950 asked the committee if, considering how little information Source Prep School had provided in the preceding weeks, they thought the time had come to squeeze him, to tell him he'd better start coughing up or the news of his betrayals and some compelling video would be sent to his ambassador.
在 8 月 1 日指导委员会组织混乱的会议上，约翰尼 1950 询问委员会，考虑到源预科学校在前几周提供的信息非常少，他们是否认为是时候压制他了，告诉他最好开始咳嗽，或者将他背叛的消息和一些引人注目的视频发送给他的大使。
Jarmila argued that this would be a mistake.
贾米拉认为这是一个错误。
She just had a feeling.
她只是有一种感觉。
She didn't mention to the committee that she'd rather by a long shot spend evenings with a slavishly devoted lover than have some moron from manipulation pretend to be Igor and run the blackmail while she took a dull holiday on the Black Sea.
她没有向委员会提到，她宁愿与一个奴性忠诚的情人共度夜晚，也不愿让一些白痴冒充伊戈尔，在她在黑海度过一个沉闷的假期时进行勒索。
"Be patient with him," she told the committee.
“对他要有耐心，”她告诉委员会。
"Prep School will produce.
“预科学校将会制作。
I know he will."
我知道他会的。”
Meanwhile, Tyler watched as communism crumbled in Hungary and Poland.
与此同时，泰勒目睹了共产主义在匈牙利和波兰的崩溃。
And he had the strangest sensation as he read each unimaginable dispatch from these other countries.
当他读到来自其他国家的每一份难以想象的电报时，他都有一种最奇怪的感觉。
He prayed the democratic virus would be contained, that the Czechs would hold on.
他祈祷民主病毒能够得到遏制，捷克人能够坚持下去。
But then, the politburo resigned.
但随后，政治局辞职了。
[PROTESTING] December 3.
[抗议]12月3日。
They walked, side by side, as 150,000 protested the communists' last-ditch effort to allow only a minority opposition presence in a new government.
他们并肩前行，15万人抗议共产党为只允许少数反对派进入新政府而做出的最后努力。
They did not hold hands.
他们没有牵手。
They pretended to smile at what they saw.
他们对所见所闻假装微笑。
Neither of them spoke.
两人都没有说话。
Tyler the traitor should have been delighted.

It's over.
结束了。
She's free.
她自由了。
He did his dirty bit for her without hurting anyone or getting caught.

And now it's passed.

被压迫者贾米拉应该感到高兴。
Her country was free.
她的国家是自由的。
Her future was her own.
她的未来是她自己的。
If, in character, he told her now she should come with him to the West, escape Igor and their shameful past, but she said no, and she certainly would, then he would be forced to ask her why not.
如果从性格上来说，他现在告诉她应该和他一起去西方，逃离伊戈尔和他们可耻的过去，但她说不，而且她肯定会这样做，那么他将被迫问她为什么不。
And she would be forced to admit that she'd been lying to him all along and their time together would end.
她将被迫承认她一直在对他撒谎，他们在一起的时光也将结束。
Or he could tell her he knew she was a spy for a communist spy service.
或者他可以告诉她他知道她是共产主义间谍机构的间谍。
And now, in the new world unfolding all around them, she would be in danger of arrest and retribution.
现在，在他们周围展开的新世界中，她将面临被捕和报复的危险。
So she should come to the US, be his pet defector.
所以她应该来美国，成为他的宠儿叛逃者。
And they could be together.
他们可以在一起。
Of course that would mean admitting that he'd been lying to her since the beginning.
当然，这意味着承认他从一开始就在骗她。
That there was no Tyler the traitor.
没有叛徒泰勒。
That there was nothing about him that she actually knew.
她对他一无所知。
That revelation would also be his first act of actual treachery.
这一揭露也将是他第一次真正的背叛行为。
It was impossible.

She watched him.
她看着他。
Something was not right here.
这里有些不对劲。
According to all logic, he should have been happy to see the changes underway.
按照所有逻辑，他应该很高兴看到正在发生的变化。
He should have been offering her a way out with him.
他应该给她一条出路。
This should mean the end of his spying for her.
这应该意味着他对她的间谍活动结束了。
This should mean the end of Igor's control over her.
这应该意味着伊戈尔对她的控制结束了。
So why was he silent?
那么他为什么沉默呢？
For that matter, why wasn't he telling her to come away with him to Cape Cod?
就此而言，他为什么不让她和他一起去科德角呢？
To a wedding on his parents' lawn?

Frolicks with some new Labrador?

She saw it clearly.
她看得一清二楚。
He was a liar.
他是个骗子。
That was why.
这就是原因。
He felt no slavish love for her.
他对她并没有感到奴性的爱。
He had done what he had done out of lust and weakness, and then lazy momentum, and fear of being blackmailed and nothing else.
他所做的一切都是出于欲望和软弱，然后是懒惰的动力，以及对被勒索的恐惧，除此之外别无其他。
He was precisely what the playwrights and the planners on the steering committees had always said he was, a depressive, a weakling, lonely and vulnerable, unprincipled and uninterested.
他正是剧作家和指导委员会的策划者一直以来所说的那样：一个抑郁者、一个弱者、一个孤独而脆弱、没有原则、没有兴趣的人。
In other words, he was an ordinary man.
换句话说，他就是一个普通人。
She felt foolish.
她觉得自己很愚蠢。
Did this egotist really fear she would want to come away with him?
这个自负的人真的担心她会想和他一起走吗？
Had she painted herself as needy as all that?
她是否把自己描绘得像这一切一样贫困？
How embarrassing now in daylight.
现在大白天的真是尴尬啊。
Tyler looked at her.
泰勒看着她。
She had no real feeling for him.
她对他并没有真正的感觉。
That was clear.
这很清楚。
If any part of her had felt something real in this little farce of theirs, she would say so now.

True, she hadn't seen the best of him.
确实，她还没有看到他最好的一面。
She was judging from false evidence.
她是根据虚假证据做出判断的。
But surely, she'd seen something under that stuff.
但可以肯定的是，她在那些东西下面看到了一些东西。
Surely she'd been having fun too.
想必她也玩得很开心。
Surely also he had been the very opposite of emotionally unavailable, artificial, perfect, untouchable, impenetrable, affectless.
当然，他也与情感上的空虚、做作、完美、不可触碰、难以理解、冷漠相反。
Complete silence, except for the throng of cheering, pot-banging Czechs who washed into them.
周围一片寂静，只有一群欢呼雀跃、敲着锅的捷克人涌入其中。
He moved to their left.

The crowd swelled and they both kept walking, not even looking up to be sure they had lost sight of each other.
人群越来越多，他们都继续走着，甚至没有抬头确认是否已经看不见对方。
A month earlier, the IRS had found lumpy, indigestible discrepancies in Michael Boortz's tax returns.
一个月前，美国国税局在迈克尔·博尔茨的纳税申报表中发现了难以消化的凹凸不平之处。
An investigation soon revealed that he had 13 separate savings accounts.
调查很快发现他有 13 个独立的储蓄账户。
The subsequent CIA interrogation of a sobbing, farting Boortz revealed much of what Boortz had betrayed over the years, including Operation Brief Encounter.
随后中央情报局对哭泣、放屁的布尔茨的审讯揭露了布尔茨多年来背叛的大部分内容，包括短暂遭遇行动。
And so, before his arrest, and in exchange for vague promises of leniency at his trial, Boortz delivered a final flurry of reports to his Soviet handlers, including one put together by the operational guidance group at the request of Ed Marshall.
因此，在被捕之前，为了换取在审判中宽大处理的含糊承诺，布尔茨向他的苏联上司提交了最后一系列报告，其中包括行动指导小组应埃德·马歇尔的要求整理的一份报告。
Jarmila Herbeck, said his report, had been a CIA agent all along.
贾米拉·赫贝克（Jarmila Herbeck）在他的报告中说，她一直是中央情报局特工。
When Vanalden gave her false information, she had knowingly passed it on.
当范纳尔登向她提供虚假信息时，她是故意传播的。
And when she was out of her boss's view, she had delivered Czech secrets to Vanalden.
当她离开老板的视野时，她向范纳尔登透露了捷克的秘密。
This happened in the countryside on picnics.
这件事发生在乡村野餐时。
Well, it was better than nothing, Marshall figured.
嗯，总比没有好，马歇尔想。
It would throw the remaining Czechs into chaos.
这将使剩下的捷克人陷入混乱。
But that was a small comfort when you admitted you had just spent months accomplishing exactly nothing.
但当你承认自己花了几个月的时间却一事无成时，这也算是一种小小的安慰。
The poor kid.
可怜的孩子。
He called Tyler in, told him he'd been doing a stellar job.
他把泰勒叫了进来，告诉他他的工作非常出色。
Marshall himself was putting Tyler up for an intelligence medal.
马歇尔本人正在为泰勒颁发情报奖章。
"The downside though, Ty, is a little more complex.
“不过，泰，缺点有点复杂。
It would appear that possibly they knew about you, about us, from a pretty early time.
看来他们很可能很早就知道你、我们。
Actually likely."
其实有可能。”
Tyler knew he should be depressed.
泰勒知道他应该感到沮丧。
His life and work for months had been a travesty.
几个月来他的生活和工作都是一场嘲讽。
He was a videotaped joke.
他是一个录像笑话。
Yet he felt some growing sensation of happiness.
但他却感到一种越来越强烈的幸福感。
Why had the Czechs kept it going if they knew it was garbage?
如果捷克人知道这是垃圾，为什么还要继续这样做呢？
Because she had wanted to.
因为她曾经想这么做。
She must have argued for it, for him, propped up the whole shabby structure with justifications just to see him.
她一定是为了他，为了他，用理由撑起了整个破旧的建筑，只是为了见他。
Every time she met him had been a victory for the two of them, snatched from a dubious Czech service.
每次她见到他，对他们两个来说都是一次胜利，从可疑的捷克服务中夺取的胜利。
"Sit down," said Johnny 1950.
“坐下，”约翰尼 1950 说道。
She had come in to see if there was an office at all today, the day the communist president swore in an opposition government and then resigned.
她今天是来看看是否有办公室的，那天是共产党总统宣誓成立反对派政府，然后辞职的日子。
The few people still in the office were visibly worried.
办公室里的几个人显然都有些担心。
Nobody knew if they were going to be the secret service of the new republic or a pile of corpses shot for their work on behalf of the old republic.
