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
that name. 好不容易熬到 11 岁 结果 I barely made it to the age of eleven, before...
(" 便辛" Hey, "Pissing"!
你在小便吗 Are you pissing right now?
瞧 他在小便呢 Look at him, he is pissing.
一字之别 With one word,
我的名字就从优雅的法国泳池名 my name went from an elegant French
swimming pool 沦为了肮脏的印度公厕 to a stinking Indian latrine.
我到哪儿都成了 "小便" I was "Pissing" everywhere.
操场里不准随地小便 No pissing in the schoolyard!
就连老师也这么叫 Even the teacher started doing it.
的 Not deliberately, of course.
那么... So then...
是什么让壶里的气体快速蒸发呢 What made the kettle to release gas too quickly?

一个人漂洋过海Out there, all alone.
派:我不懂航海Oh, I don't even know how to sail.
再说我也不是一个人还有理查德?帕克And I wasn't alone out there, Richard Parker was with me.
作家:理查德?帕克Richard Parker?
玛玛吉没跟我细说Mamaji, he didn't tell me everything,
只说让我回蒙特利尔的时候来找你he just said I should look you up when I got back to Montreal.

派:顺带一提我很喜欢你第一部小说By the way, I enjoyed your first book.
新书打算以印度为背景吗So this new one is set in India?

作家: 等不到了You can't.
我放弃了I threw it out.
我花了两年时间构思小说Two years I was trying to bring these things to

come to French India, 到那里搜集故事and search for a story.
伙计我有个印度朋友Well, my friend, I know an Indian
就住在加拿大法语区in French Canada,

是命中注定要相遇啊 " It must be fate that the two of you should meet." 派:我已经好多年没说起过理查德 ?帕克的事了 Well I haven't spoken about Richard Parker in so many years.
玛玛吉都跟你说了些什么 So what has Mamaji already told you? 作家: 他说听了你的故事 会让我相信神的存在 He said you had a story that would make me believe in God.
派:依着他 吃顿好菜也能让人信上帝 He would say that about a nice meal. 至于信不信神 我只负责讲故事 As for God, I can only tell you my story. 不信由你自己决定 You'll decide for yourself what you believe.
作家:可以 Fair enough.
派:那么 从哪儿说起呢 Let's see then. Where to begin?
( 本地治里 ... Pondicherry...
当时为法属印度 is the French Bureau of India.
因为这地方离海最近 In this place, closest to the ocean,
若置身其中 你会误以为身处法国南部 you might think you are in the south of France. 几个街区后有条运河 A few blocks inland, there's a canal.
过了运河 就是印属本地治里 Just beyond that, is Indian Pondicherry. 往西就是穆斯林地区 And the Muslim quarter is just to the west. 1954 国归还了本地治里 When the French handed Pondicherry back to us in 1954, 小镇决定举行庆典 the town decided that some sort of commemoration was in order. 我父亲很有商业头脑 My father was a clever businessman.
