-Brock: And everybody who knows about the diamond…is supposed to be dead or on this boat, but she knows.

know about: 知道，了解 diamond: 鉆石 be supposed to: 應(yīng)該

所有知道這顆鉆石的人不是已經(jīng)死了就是在這艘船上，但是她卻知道。

她的行李可真不少啊?

快點(diǎn)，幫他一下!Calvet夫人，我是Brock。歡迎來到凱爾迪希號(hào)。

-Rose: Yes. I would like to see my drawing.

drawing: 繪畫，畫像

是的。我想看看我的畫像。

-Brock: Louis XVI wore a fabulous stone called the Blue Diamond of the Crown.

fabulous: 巨大的 stone: 寶石 diamond: 鉆石 crown: 王冠

路易十六曾經(jīng)戴過一顆大的鉆石，被稱作“皇冠藍(lán)寶石”。

It disappeared in 1792.

disappear: 消失，不見

在1792年消失不見。

About the same time old Louis lost everything from the neck up.

lose: 失去 neck: 脖子

與路易十六被推上斷頭臺(tái)的時(shí)間大致吻合。

The theory goes that thecrown diamond was chopped, too.

theory: 看法 chop: 劈，砍

有資料說，鉆石在那時(shí)也被切割了。

Recut into a heart-like shape that became known as the Heart of the Ocean.

recut: 重切 heart-like: 【心形的，像心一樣的】 shape: 形狀 known: 知名的

后來被人雕刻成心的形狀，成為著名的“海洋之心”。

Today, itwould be worth more than the Hope Diamond.

當(dāng)年有人以絕對(duì)保密為條件索取了一筆失物賠償金。

Can you tell me who the claimant was, Rose?

您能告訴我那個(gè)申請(qǐng)人是誰么，Rose?

-Rose: I should imagine someone named Hockley.

imagine: 設(shè)想，猜想

哦，我猜是姓Hockley的某個(gè)人。

-Brock: Nathan Hockley. That's right. Pittsburgh steel tycoon.

steel: 鋼鐵 tycoon: (口語)企業(yè)巨頭，大亨

Nathan Hockley。沒錯(cuò)。匹茲堡鋼鐵大亨。

The claim was for a diamond necklace his son, Caledon, bought his fiancee, you.

diamond: 鉆石 necklace: 項(xiàng)鏈 fiancee: 未婚妻

索賠是為了一串項(xiàng)鏈，是他的兒子，Caledon，賣給未婚妻，也就是買給你的。

A week before he sailed on Titanic. It was filed right after the sinking.

sail: 起航 file: 提交(申請(qǐng)) sinking: 沉沒

是泰坦尼克號(hào)啟航前一星期買的。船沉以后就索賠了。

So the diamond hadto have gone down with the ship.

所以這顆鉆石只可能隨船葬入了海底。

You see the date?

date: 日期

您瞧，畫上的日期?

-Lizzy: April 14, 1912.

1912年4月14日。

-Lewis: Which means if your grandmother is who she says she is…

假如您奶奶真的如她所說是畫里的人，

she was wearing the diamond the day the Titanic sank.

wear: 戴 sink: 沉沒

那她在泰坦尼克號(hào)沉沒的那天戴過鉆石。

-Brock: And that makes you my new best friend.

這么一來你就成了我最好的新朋友了。

These are some of the things we recovered from your stateroom.

recover: 找回，重新獲得 stateroom: 特等客艙

這些是在您客艙里找到的。

-Rose: This was mine. How extraordinary! And it looks the same as it did the last time I saw it.

這是我的。太奇妙了!和我最后看到它的時(shí)候一模一樣。

The reflection has changed a bit.

reflection: 映像 change: 改變 a bit: 一點(diǎn)

鏡子映出的人倒是變了一點(diǎn)。

-Brock: Are you ready to go back to Titanic?

ready: 準(zhǔn)備好的 go back to: 返回，回去【回顧】

您準(zhǔn)備好回顧一下泰坦尼克號(hào)的事件么?

-Lewis: Here we go. She hits the berg on the starboard side. She kind of bumps along,

berg: 冰山 starboard: 右側(cè) kind of: (口語)稍微，有點(diǎn) bump along: 顛簸而行 bump: 猛撞

我們開始吧。船的右側(cè)撞到了冰山。猛烈的撞擊之下，船顛簸而行，

punching holes like Morse code along the side…below the water line.

punch: 猛擊 Morse code: 莫爾斯電碼 water line: (船的)吃水線，

水位船身受到撞擊的一側(cè)…在水線以下出現(xiàn)好幾處莫爾斯碼一樣的裂口。

Then the forwardcompartments start to flood.

forward: 位于前面的 compartment: (船艙的)隔間 flood: 為水淹沒

海水下子涌進(jìn)前艙。

Now, as the water level rises, it spills over the watertight bulkheads…which,

water level: 水位 rise: 升高，上漲 spill: 溢出，潑出 watertight: 不漏水的 bulkhead: 隔離壁

水位不斷升高，很快就溢出了隔水艙。

unfortunately, don't go any higher than E deck.

unfortunately: 遺憾地，不幸地 deck: 層面

不幸的是隔水艙最高只到E層。

So now, as the bow goes down, the stern rises up, slow at first…then faster and faster,

bow: 船頭 go down: 沉下 stern: 船尾 rise up: 上升，聳立

導(dǎo)致船頭往下沉，船尾往上翹，剛開始的時(shí)候很慢…然后越來越快，

until finally, she's got her whole ass sticking in the air. And that's a big ass. We're talking20,000-30,000 tons.

finally: 最后，終于 ass: <美俚>屁股 stick: 刺入 ton: 噸

直到最后，船的尾部完全翹到天上。那船尾少說也有兩到三萬噸重。

Okay? And the hull's not designed to deal with that pressure. So what happens?

hull: 船身 design: 設(shè)計(jì) deal with: 應(yīng)付 pressure: 壓力 happen: 發(fā)生

船身的設(shè)計(jì)無法支撐這么大的壓力。所以結(jié)果呢?

She splits, right down to the keel…and the stern falls back level.

split: (使)裂開，破裂 keel: (船的)龍骨 level: 水平面

船身從中間裂成了兩半…船尾重新落回海面。

Then as the bow sinks, it pulls the stern vertical and then finally detaches.

sink: 沉沒 vertical: 垂直的 detach: 使分離

然后船頭繼續(xù)下沉，與船尾呈直角，并最終徹底斷裂。

Now the stern section kind of bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes…floods,

stern: 船尾 section: 部分 kind of: (口語)稍微，有點(diǎn) bob: 上下快速擺動(dòng) cork: (釣魚用的)小浮標(biāo) a couple of: 幾(個(gè)) flood: 為水淹沒

船尾那一半在水面上上下浮動(dòng)，持續(xù)了幾分鐘的時(shí)間…由于大量水涌入，

andfinally goes under about 2:20 a.m.…

go under: 沉沒

于凌晨2：20墮入海底。

two hours and 40 minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away, landing abouta half a mile away…

collision: 碰撞 plane: 水平 land: 著陸 mile: 英里

從撞擊到沉沒整個(gè)過程經(jīng)歷2小時(shí)40分鐘。船頭是斜著下沉的，在距離沉船地點(diǎn)一里半遠(yuǎn)的地方…

going 20, 30 knots when it hits the ocean floor. Pretty cool, huh?

knot: 海里/小時(shí) ocean: 海洋 floor: 地面 pretty: 相當(dāng)，頗 cool: 絕妙的

以每小時(shí)20或30海里的速度到達(dá)大洋底面。精彩吧?

-Rose: Thank you for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Bodine. Of course, the experience of it was…somewhat different.

forensic: 法醫(yī)的 analysis: 分析，分析報(bào)告 of course: 當(dāng)然 experience: 體驗(yàn) somewhat: 達(dá)到某種程度

謝謝你這番全面準(zhǔn)確的分析，Bodine先生。不過，親身體驗(yàn)肯定是有些不同的。
