年轻的教宗

1此剧展现的是真实的，存在千年且越发重要的 Frobiden City 梵蒂冈，大众的好奇加上十二亿七千万的（06年10月数据）的信徒注定有很大的市场。

2美剧，教宗是美国人，主角的设定满足了美国人期待多年的美国教宗心理需要。

3教宗是全球天主教会和一大部分基督新教教徒的精神领袖，基督徒在世的代表，很少有剧作者敢于拍这个宗教题材。甚或能不差得太离谱地表达这个题材。普世人类现实中所能看到的，和展现出的是教宗的“His Holiness”，对教宗人性的发掘是本剧的重要主题，也是卖点。

4剧本的作者导演是导演本身，也就是说类似想做好厨子的将军。当然，导演还是很值得肯定的，至少从剧作的创作来讲，全剧还是非常好的，人物刻画有深度，个性鲜明而饱满，十集的架构明析，非常有节奏感。

5作为天主教的神父，还是要感谢这部剧，因为我们教会自己拍不出来这样收欢迎世俗作品，所以in some degree正面展现了宗教的美好。

6还是想正面传递一些信息: 教宗说他不信天主能拯救他，说的不是他没有信仰，他的祈祷确实行了奇迹。他的问题还是在于童年的阴影，在从阴影走出来的过程中解决他的自己对已是教宗定位问题。

7教会的红衣主教们都不容易，多是有博士学位（如以前的中国的于斌红衣主教有三个博士学位），一表人才，个子高大。剧中那么多的老主教在影射教会的老龄化的问题。教廷内部不可能有女士在高位上。梵蒂冈教宗的私人花园也不可能是谁都可以进的。

8里面的礼仪让人困惑，目的应该在提醒天主教的观剧者，此剧是虚构的。因为三重冠（教宗的“”皇冠“”）是主持开梵二大公会议的教宗若望二十三为筹集善款卖了的，梵二会议后教宗延的很多仪式已经革新了，弥撒也是，但是剧中的弥撒还是梵二前的礼规。教宗第一次与红衣主教团讲话时大概是用的梵二前的礼仪。又 剧中教宗溜出梵蒂冈时与之交谈的女士用的是智能手机。所以时间线是剧作者故意模糊的。

9世人普遍思考心的问题—天主真的存在？具体的反应在laney的私人信仰上，同时已批判了教会的几个具体的问题，教会的官僚化，神职人员的老龄化，世俗化，甚至有丑闻，还有同性恋的问题，酗酒 在这些问题上有些是点到，有些是影射，有些是作为主要问题，当然同性恋者是不能作神父的（这是教会目前的规矩）但这个问题在剧中有所放大。为此我还专门回复了一些网友。教会神职中的同性恋问题在出了几桩丑闻后更加重视了，现在有心理学的方法可以查出来，通常教会不接受这种类型做神父的。所以是极少数但这些少数确实给教会和社会带来很强的破坏。

10剧的主线是从黑暗到光明，从分裂到合一，从童年阴影－中年危机－信仰危机－教宗当选者的角色危机－整个教会的危机到重新找到自我，获得人生中最重要的成长的，与自我的修合，教延内的修合达至与整个教会内的修合和与世界的修合。借展示剧中的教宗的人性也是在歌颂人性，展现人性的美好，同时也是最好的展现天主的伟大，所以有人说真的教宗也会认同这部剧的。

Let me explain something to you, that you, in your long life, have not yet had the occasion to understand. Friendly relationships are dangerous. They lend themselves to ambiguities, misunderstandings, and conflicts, and they always end badly. Formal relationships, on the other hand, are as clear as spring water. Their rules are carved in stone. There’s no risk of being misunderstood, and they last forever. Now, you need to know, I do not appreciate friendly relationships. But I’m a great admirer of formal ones. Where there are formal relationships there are rites, and where there are rites the earth order reigns.

让我来为你解释一些在你人生的漫长岁月里还没有机会去理解的事情吧。友好关系是危险的，他们使自己陷入歧义，误解和冲突的境地，因此他们总是不得善终。在另一方面，平常关系，如泉水般清澈。他们的形式规则板上钉钉。没有会陷入误解的风险，所以总能永久持续。现在，你需要知道，我并不欣赏友好关系。但我十分钦佩平常关系。平常关系所在之处，才会存在礼仪。礼仪存在的地方，规则秩序才能支配一切

Staring today you have to lead the church, one billion people. One fifth of the world’s population. Do you understand what I’m saying? One billion people will depend on what you say and do. They’ll make important decisions, happy or sad, of life or death, in order to obey you, in the name of God. All of this creates a new perspective. An immense perspective. Now, your personal aches, your enormous sufferings, your terrible memories... it’s a harsh thing to say, but I have to say it, they must take a back seat. They are things of this earth. I know all your sorrows, I’ve lived with them together with you, I’ve went over them with you, but now the tie has come for you to let your sorrows to fade, go become irrelevant, distant memories, insignificant, vanquished, destroyed and overpowered by the terrible responsibility that God has given you. From now on, you are no longer Lenny Belardo, the fatherless, motherless boy. From now on, you are Pope Pius XIII, ...

从今天开始 教堂就由你领导了 十亿人 世界人口的五分之一 你懂这责任有多重大吗？十亿人都在看着你的言行 他们会无视个人的悲喜 甚至是生死 只为以上帝的名义遵循你的指令 所有的这些萌生了全新的视角 一个浩瀚无边的视角。从现在开始 你个人的痛苦 哪怕是巨大的折磨 你的健忘的品性…这说起来很残酷，但我还是要说，这些东西都要退居次位了。他们在上帝面前轻如鸿毛。我了解你的悲伤痛苦，我和你一起忍受着他们，我也曾经陪着你一起流泪，但是现在是时候让你的悲伤痛苦消逝，变成无关紧要的遥远的记忆了，使它被上帝赋予你的巨大责任而蔑视 征服 摧毁 俘虏。从今往后，你将不再是xxx，那个无父无母的小男孩。从现在开始，你就是庇护十三世教皇，...

You’re simplifying the future to an unhealthy degree.

我认为你就是在将未来简化到了一个危险的程度

You’re too tied to the past. The past is an enormous place, with all sorts of things inside. Not so with the present. The present is merely a narrow opening, with room for only one pair of eyes. Mine.

你太过执恋于过去了，过去是一个囊括了所有事物的庞然大物，它属于所有人。但，现今，不是这样。现今，只是一个通往未来的窄巷口。窄到只有一人能看到未来，那就是我。

which is my predecessors, who favored sobriety over tradition, imprudently let go.

就是被我那位主张不要沉浸于过去和传统的前辈，不小心遗落的那个

It’s very difficult to keep anything secret here in the Vatican. Rumors fly so quickly that sometimes they arrive even before the event has taken place.

在梵蒂冈很少有秘密。留言总是不胫而走，甚至有些完全是子虚乌有。

It’s quite a useful piece of information for my future.

我好像已经看到了我的未来了。

Which is exactly what it was intended to be.

那正是你将来要面对的。

Ever since I was little, I’ve learned to confound people’s ideas on what’s going on in my head. Not only that, I’m also intransigent, irritable, vindictive...and I have a prodigious memory.

从我很小的时候起，我就学会了用在我脑中的东西去混淆人们的想法。不仅如此，我还从不妥协 性情急躁 报复心强...而且我拥有惊人的记忆力。

Now do you know what it is, what the invisible red thread is that connects them all, all these most important figures in their respective fields? None of them let themselves be seen. None of them let themselves be photographed.

现在你了解个中缘由了，是看不见的红线将他们连在一起，这些在各自领域中最重要的人？从不让人看到自己

Of a city state so small that it has no outlet to the sea, and in order to survive, it’s leader has to make himself as unreachable as a rock star. The Vatican survives thanks to hyperbole. So we, we shall generate hyperbole, but this time in reverse

这个城邦国家是如此的小 连出海口都没有 为了生存 它的领导者不得不把自己塑造成摇滚明星那样可望而不可及的形象。多谢这浮夸的手法 梵蒂冈幸存了 所以 我们应该适度夸张 但是这次我们应该反过来想

Like when we were kids

I’m glad that you find a moment to say hello to me 你能来跟我问好我真的很高兴

How could you doubt that I’d come? 你怎么能怀疑我会不来呢

I love God because it is so painful to love human beings. I love a God that never leaves or that always leaves me. God, the absence of God, always reassuring and definitive. I am a priest. I have renounced my fellow man, my fellow women, because I don’t want to suffer, because I’m incapable of withstanding the heartbreak of love, because I’m unhappy, like all priests. It would be wonderful to love you the way you want to be loved, but it’s not possible. Because I am not a man, I am a coward. Like all priests.

我爱主是因为 爱凡人是如此痛苦 我爱主 无论他对我不离不弃亦或弃我不顾 主 和主的缺席 总能使我安心而坚定 我是神父 我已背弃了我的男信徒 我的女信徒 因为我不想遭受痛苦 因为我没有能力 去承受爱的痛心之感 因为我不快乐 就像所有神父一样 如果我能以你所想的方式去爱你 那会很美好 但那不可能 因为我不是一个男人 我是个懦夫 就像所有神父一样

It’s pointless for you to go on pretending nothing happened. Something extraordinary happened there.

我知晓作为一个权高位重的人 应该对其共事者所应知晓的一切 而且我是这里最有权势的人

We need to go back to being prohibited. Inaccessible and mysterious. That’s the only way we will once again become desirable. That’s the only way great love stories are born. And I don’t want any more part-time believers. I want great love stories. I want fanatics for God. Because fanaticism is love. Everything else is strictly a surrogate, and it stays outside the church. With the attitudes of the last Papacy, the church won for itself great expressions of fondness from the masses. It became popular. Isn’t that wonderful, you might be thinking! We received plenty of esteem and lots of friendship. I have no idea what to do with the friendship of the whole wide world. What I want is absolute love and total devotion to God. Could that mean a Church only for the few? That’s a hypothesis, and a hypothesis isn’t the same as reality. But even this hypothesis isn’t so scandalous. I say better to have a few that are reliable than to have a great many that are distractible and indifferent. The public squares have been jam-packed, but the hearts have been emptied of God. You can’t measure love with numbers, you can only measure it in terms of intensity. In terms of the blind loyalty to the imperative. Fix that word firmly in your souls: imperative. From this day forth, that’s what the Pope wants, that’s what the Church wants, that’s what God wants. I know you will obey, because you’ve already figured out that this pipe isn’t afraid to lose the faithful if they’re been even slightly unfaithful, and that means this Pope does not negotiate. On anything or with anyone. And this Pope cannot be blackmailed. From this day forth, the word “compromise”, has been banished from the vocabulary. Ive just deleted it.

我们得要重新闭关 不可接近而又神秘 这是我们能再次拥有价值的唯一办法 也是伟大之爱的故事诞生的唯一途径 我不需要任何临时的信徒 我想要伟大之爱的故事 我想要为上帝寻找狂热信徒 因为狂热才是爱 其他一切都是替代品 必须待在教会之外。在上一届教皇的积极下 教会为自己赢得了许多民众的喜爱 变得受欢迎 那不是挺好的吗 你可能这样想 我们收获了如此之多的尊敬和友善 我不知道要怎么样去面对着整个世界的友善 我想要的是对上帝绝对的爱和完全的忠诚 那意味着教会只是为少数人准备的吗？这是假设 假设和现实不一样 但即使这个假设没有如此难言 比起拥有不专心而又冷漠的一大群人 还是拥有少却可靠的人更好 公共广场已经拥挤不堪了 但他们心中却没有上帝 你不能用数量来衡量爱 只能用强度来衡量 根据绝对服从命令的原则来衡量 用你的灵魂牢牢记住这个词：命令 从今天起 这就是教宗想要的 这就是教会想要的 这就是上帝想要 我知道你们会遵守的 因为你们已经明白 这个教宗并不怕失去信徒即使他们只是稍微的不忠诚 而且那也意味着 这个教宗不会做出任何让步 也不会被要挟 从今天起 妥协 这个词 已经从词汇表中去掉了 我刚刚删除了

Remind him, of all our endless late-night conversations, in that big one-room dormitory, under the blankets, how we whispered in secret about our one and only, inexhaustible topic. If discussion: our future. We were children then, and that’s what children do: they paint the future in colors that reality can never know. Remind him not to grieve over all our shattered dreams. We wanted to live the lives of the great baseball player, the elderly gas station attendant on the country road, the heroic soldier, the lowlife new your musician, the fireman, the blue-water sailor. Remind him not to weep when he remembers that instead we lived only the simple, drab life of the priest, such a strange life, a life of hope and prayer that you,

请让他常记我们深夜之中在那宽敞的单间宿舍里无穷无尽的交心之谈 就坐在那毯子上 怎样悄声细语地讨论着 那恒永不变的永不乏味的话题：我们的未来。那时我们还是孩子 孩子就是会这样 动情地描绘着不可预知的未来 请告诉他 不要再为所有我们夭折的梦想而哀悼了 我们想过要成为伟大的棒球运动员 做那乡镇小路旁有年头了的加油站的工作人员 成为应用英勇的战士 或是纽约的底层乐师 亦或是成为消防员 海员。请让他常记 不要悲伤 当他想到 与梦想相反 我们只是在做简单乏味的神父工作以度冷淡的人生 每天都在寄望和祈祷着

You no longer need to deal with the enthusiastic of youth, now you must grapple with disenchantment and the limitations of the rational 你无需再面对青春的狂热 而是要挣扎于突降的清醒 为理智的局限所困

You don’t believe in God but that shouldn’t upset you. Even though you’re pope. There’s still another path that’ll allow you to find the people and things you are looking for, even if you can’t see it now. Because all you can see before you now are your own doubts and the darkness. If I show to you (another path), then the adventure is over. Your life, your papacy, is an unforgettable adventure? 虽然你不信仰上帝 但也不用为此忧虑 依然存在另一种途径让你找到你在寻找的人和事 只是你现在看不见罢了 你现在能看到的只有迷惑与黑暗 如果我告诉了你 那么一切就都结束了 你的生活 记得教宗职位是一段难忘的奇遇

The morbid curiosity prompted by absence.

这种病态的好奇心正是由缺席引发的

The question here is, what exactly does it mean to be a good person? A good person is somebody who puts himself last, who renounces his own temptations and needs, working only for the interests of others. Now, think carefully and answer sincerely, because I won’t put up with even the tiniest lie from you: are you a good person? 什么才是一个所谓的好人 一个真正的好人是要将自己放在最后一位 放弃自己的欲望和需求 只为满足别人而工作

There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding concerning the meaning of my visit here to you. You think I’m here to go out you. In fact, I’m here to ascertain your temptations. 你以为我是给你带来荣誉的 事实上 我是来摸清楚你的诱惑到底是什么

the world is always ready for love 这个世界总是准备好去爱

What is more beautiful, my love? Love lost or love found? Don’t laugh at me, my love. I know it, I’m awkward and naive, when it comes to love, and I ask questions straight out of a pop song. This doubt overwhelms me and undermines me, my love. To find or to lose? All around me, people don’t stop yearning. Did they lose or did they find? I can’t say. An orphan had no way of knowing. An orphan lacks a first love. The love for his mama and papa. That’s the source of his awkwardness, his naïveté. You said to me, on that deserted beach in California, “you can touch my legs.” But I didn’t do it. There, my love, is love lost. That’s why I’ve never stopped wondering, since that day: where have you been and where you are now. And you, shining gleam of my misspent youth, did you lose or did you find? I don’t know, and I will never know. I can’t even remember your name, my love. And I don’t have the answer. But this is how I like to imagine it, the answer. In the end, my love, we have no choice. We have to find.

那一个更为美好 我的爱人 失去爱还是寻回爱 别嘲笑我 我的爱人 我知道 我很笨拙天真 在爱情方面 我问出的问题直接来源于流行歌曲 这种怀疑压垮了我毁灭了我 我的爱人 去寻找还是失去 在我身边 人们总是在向往着 他们是失去了还是找到了 我不知道 一个孤儿无从知晓 一个孤儿缺少了他的第一份爱 对他父母的爱 这就是为什么他会笨拙 会天真 那么 我的爱人 这就是失去爱 这就是为什么我自此一直在疑惑 你去了哪里？你现在在哪儿？还有你 我荒废青春里的闪烁微光 你是失去了 还是寻得了 我不知道 我永远都不会知道 我甚至记不住你的名字 我的爱人 我也没有答案 不过就是我愿意想象的答案 在最后 我的爱人 我们别无选择 我们必须去寻找

When she was 15 she went to see the children at the hospital and always brought tangerines with her. And she didn’t care whether they ate them or not. But she wanted them to peel them and to play at squeezing the peels, and spray each other with the bright and unforgettable scent of that fruit. Then she told the children: I will go away from you and you will go away from me, but it doesn’t matter, because all that we left on this earth is the scent of goodness. 因为我们留给这个世界的只有善意的香气 that goodness, unless it’s combined with imagination, runs the risk of being mere exhibitionism. 善意 除非是与想象相结合 只需要承担被展现的风险
