理

作家: 这么说你是在动物园里长大的So, you were raised in a zoo?

派:我是在本地治里出生长大的Born and raised...in Pondicherry, 当时

那

里属于法属印度in what was the French part of India. 我父亲是动物园园

主

My father owned the zoo.

我出生的时候还是一位爬虫学家临时接生的And I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist,

他原本是来检查孟加拉巨蜥的who was there to check on the Bengal

monitor lizard. 好在母子平安Mother and I were both healthy,

可惜那只蜥蜴却溜了but the poor lizard escaped,

结果惨死在某个体型巨大的物种脚下and was trampled by a frightening category. 这是因果报应吧The way of Karma, huh?

也是神的意志The way of God.

作家: 这故事挺不错的That's quite a story.

光看你名字I'd assumed your father

我还以为你父亲是位数学家was a mathematician, because of your name.

派:差不多吧我这名字取源于一个泳池的名字Not far from it, I was

named after a swimming pool.

作家: 有叫"派"的游泳池吗There was a pool named "Pi"?

派:话说我叔叔弗朗西斯You see, my uncle Francis

刚出生时肺积水很严重was born with too much water in his lungs. 听人说医生抓住他脚踝They say the doctor swung Francis

倒过来晃来晃去才把水给清干净around by the ankle, to clear the water out. 也正因为这样And that's what gives him

他才四肢纤细却有着硕大的胸肌his huge chest and skinny legs,

他靠着身材成了游泳健将that made him such a great swimmer.

作家: 弗朗西斯是你亲叔叔吗Is Francis actually your uncle,

他说自己只是你父亲的朋友罢了he said he was friend with your father?

派:我们亲如叔侄我叫他"玛玛吉" Well, he's my "Honorary" Uncle. I call him "Mamaji".

他是我父亲的挚友也是我的游泳导师My father's best friend, my swimming guru. 我跟着他去进修所游三次I trained with him three times a week at the ashram. 他的谆谆教导最后救了我一命His lessons would save my life in the end.

( 弗朗西斯: 呛几口水倒死不了A mouthful of water will not harden you.

慌了就完了But panic will.

记得先呼吸别憋着And remember to breath now, don't hold your breath.

好孩子Good boy.)

派:我吃素食你不介意吧I hope you don't mind vegetarian.

作家: 没事不介意No, no. Not at all.

- 那名字的事呢- 什么- And your name? - Uh?

你刚打算说你名字的由来You were going to tell me how you got your name, I think.

派:对了Oh yes!

我这名字是玛玛吉跟我父亲说起的I got it from something Mamaji once

told my father. 一般人出游收集明信片You see, most travelers collect postcards 茶杯珠宝之类的东西or tea cups and their jewelries,

但玛玛吉不同but not Mamaji.

他喜欢收集游泳池Mamaji collects swimming pools.

每到一处他就去当地的泳池游泳He swims in every pool he comes upon.

莫利托公共游泳池

有一天玛玛吉对我父亲说One day, Mamaji said to my father,

放眼世界各地的游泳池that of all the pools in the world,

当属巴黎的一个公共游泳池最美the most beautiful was a public pool in

Paris. 那里的水清澈至极That the water there was so clear,

你甚至可以拿里面的水煮早咖啡you could make your morning coffee with it. 就是这次游泳改变了他一生That a single swim there changed his life.

我出生之前他说道Before I was born, he said:

" 要想让你儿子有颗纯洁的心灵"If you want your son to have a clean soul, （Piscine 法语意为泳池）

就要带他去莫利托公共泳池游泳you must take him one day to swim in the "Piscine Molitor".

我一直没搞懂父亲为何对这句话如此上心I never understood why my father took this so much too heart.

但事实如此But he did.

所以我就被取名为"皮辛?莫利托?帕特尔" And I was named "Piscine

Molitor Patel". 你想想光解释名字就够累的Imagine me trying to explain
