参考译文
Vaughn: You’ve been reading that novel for hours. What is it?
沃恩:那本小说你已经读了四个小时了,什么小说啊?
Sydney: It’s a spy novel and it’s really good. It’s about a man who is recruited by the C.I.A. to work in counterintelligence doing code breaking, but he becomes embroiled in the world of espionage.
西德尼:一个间谍小说,真的很好看。讲的是一个男人被中央情报局招募,在反情报部门破译密码,但是他卷入到间谍活动中。
Vaughn: That sounds exciting.
沃恩:听起来很刺激。
Sydney: Yeah, he’s sent on a mission to infiltrate a foreign spy organization and to feed them misinformation. I’d love to be a spy.
西德尼:是的,他被派去执行任务,潜入到一个国外间谍组织,告诉他们一些虚假信息。我想成为一个间谍。
Vaughn: You wouldn’t really want to live the life of a spy, would you? You’d have to live a double life, not being able to tell your friends and family that you’re an operative.
沃恩:你不是真的想成为一个间谍吧?你得有两重身份,过两种生活,不能告诉朋友和家人你是一个特工。
Sydney: I wouldn’t care if I could go on clandestine missions to thwart and sabotage the enemy. Working for the C.I.A. would be a dream come true.
西德尼:我不会担心自己是否能执行秘密任务来破坏敌人的行动。为中央情报局工作是个要实现的梦想。
Vaughn: You’d have to keep a lot of secrets, not divulging classified information.
沃恩:你需要保守很多秘密,而不能泄露秘密信息。
Sydney: Yes, so?
西德尼:是,所以?
Vaughn: Loose lips sink ships.
沃恩:言多招致祸端。
Sydney: What are you trying to say?
西德尼:你想说什么?
Vaughn: Well, no offense but I think your cover would be blown after about five minutes!
沃恩:呃,无冒犯之意,但是我想,你间谍的虚假身份五分钟就会暴露。
