角色畫像 · Portrait

瑟古德·艾尔森博士(Dr. Thurgood Elson)在《原子怪兽》(The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, 1953)中是一位令人印象深刻的角色。

他的戏份不算多,但气质极有分量,是影片中“理智世界的象征”之一。

与男主角汤姆·内斯比特教授相比,艾尔森更像是科研体系的“长者与守门人”

他的形象融合了当时观众心目中理想的科学家品质:睿智、稳重、谦和、包容、带着一丝书卷式的尊严。

人物性格 · Personality

理智而温柔 —— 当男主角汤姆·内斯比特教授向他报告发现了一只一亿年前的怪兽时,他抽着烟斗,一边说着休假的事,一边委婉地表示不会接受这个故事——因为一亿年可不是冬眠的时长——他用冷静泼灭了男主角的激情,但仍留有余地,不忘安抚男主。

开明而包容——助手李·亨特是他的学生,曾不断在课堂上质疑、否定他,但他非但不记嫌,毕业后还留下李·亨特作为他的助手。

谦逊而坚定 —— 当男主角汤姆·内斯比特教授找到目击证人,怪兽的事情有了可能之后,他转而坚定地协助男主角获得资源搜捕怪兽。

浪漫而悲壮 —— 爱科学如爱生命,面对未知的怪兽,他愿不惜代价去见证,即便代价是自身。

經典語錄 · Quote

艾尔森博士:你为什么坚信会有危险?那个史前生物和我是老朋友了。

Why will you persist in talking about danger, my boy? The Rhedosaurus and I are old friends.

——🤭 对史前生物有深厚了解,所以敢用“老朋友”开玩笑,这是长期研究积累的专业自信。

但这是“单方面的友谊”——怪兽显然不懂他,但他却像老朋友般轻松称呼它,艾尔森博士的勇气和轻松幽默让危险场景产生了强烈的反差笑点。

記憶座標 · 最難忘的瞬間 · Memory

1(汤姆·内斯比特教授第一次来见瑟古德·艾尔森博士)

汤姆那就是我为什么要到这来,艾尔森博士,我感觉如果你听了我的故事,你会做些什么。

And that's why I came here, Dr. Elson. I felt if you heard my story, you'd do something.

艾尔森博士那你以为我能做什么?

And what is it you think I can do?

汤姆组织一支考察队,开始进行搜索。

Fit out an expedition, institute a search.

艾尔森博士组织一支考察队需要进行大量细致的工作,比如时间、人员、资金。

The fitting out of an expedition requires a great deal of attention to detail. Such as time, personnel, money.

汤姆面对如此巨大的发现,你怎么还能谈什么细节?我不是生物学家,但我渴望去进一步了解这只怪兽。我以为你会展现出一种不可抗拒的好奇心,以致没有什么能阻止你前去考察。

How can you talk about details in the face of such a discovery? I'm not a paleontologist, and I have a tremendous desire to know more about this animal. I thought you'd have such a compelling curiosity... that nothing would stand in your way.

艾尔森博士内斯比特教授,在等待了三十年之后,我要度我的第一个长假。如果我觉得你说的话,哪怕只有些许的可能性,我都会把我的休假计划扔到一边,可是它没有。Professor Nesbitt, after waiting for 30 years... I'm about to undertake my first extended holiday. And I can assure you that I would throw aside my plans if I thought there was... the slightest chance of what your saying being possible. It isn't.

汤姆那报纸上的新闻怎么解释?

What about that newspaper item?

艾尔森博士如果把所有海员关于目击怪兽的报告连起来的话,都能到月球了,小伙子。

If all the items of seamen reporting monsters were placed end on end... it'd reach to the moon, my boy.

汤姆你是说我在浪费时间?You mean, I'm just wasting your time?

艾尔森博士你意识到了你是想让我相信你看到了一只活了超过一亿年的生物吗?

Do you realize you're asking me to believe... you saw a creature that would be over 100 million years old?

汤姆但你说在一亿年前,那片水域在中生代时期就结成了冰,有没有可能那只怪兽在那时起就被困在冰里?由于陷入了冰点,被冻了起来。当我们投放炸弹的时候,巨大的热量融化了冰,让那只怪兽恢复了自由?

But you said that 100 million years ago... the water of the Mesozoic age turned to ice. Isn't it possible that an animal was trapped in that ice? Caught in the freezing temperatures and locked in. Then when we released the bomb, the heat generated melted the ice... in which this beast was imprisoned and freed it?

艾尔森博士在一亿年之后让它又活了过来?

Bringing it back to life after 100 million years?

汤姆它可能是陷入了冬眠,熊在类似的情况下可以度过整个冬天。Couldn't it have been in a state of hibernation? Bears live through winters under similar conditions.

艾尔森博士那倒没错,一只熊靠它体内积攒的脂肪可以度过一个冬天。但很难相信一只动物能靠自己体内的组织生存一亿年。说的委婉点,它需要巨量的进食才行,你不觉得吗?

That's quite true. A bear does live off itself for one winter from food accumulated within itself... but it's hard to believe an animal could live 100 million years off its own tissue. To put it mildly, it would require quite an appetite, don't you think?

助手李·亨特:我不知道这会不会有帮助,但你记得吗,博士,几年前,在西伯利亚冻土中出土了一群乳齿象,死了几千年,但它们的皮毛还保存完好,肉还可以吃。

I don't know if this will be of any help, but you remember, doctor...na few years ago, an expedition unearthed... a herd of mastodons in the Siberian tundra. Dead thousands of years, yet their fur was still intact, the meat still edible.

艾尔森博士你说的没错,李,但它们都死了,那是最重要的区别,它们都死了。我很抱歉教授,但老实说,我不能相信你的故事。

That's quite right, my dear Lee. But they weren't alive. That's the important difference. They weren't alive. I'm sorry, professor, but in all honesty, I can't support your story.

汤姆我想我得回医院去了,也许我应该要求被转到精神病房去。

I guess I'll go back to the hospital. Maybe I should ask for a transfer to the psychopathic ward.

艾尔森博士胡说,没有那么糟,小伙子。

That's nonsense. It's not as bad as all that, my boy.

汤姆谢谢你,博士。

Thanks for listening, doctor.

(汤姆·内斯比特教授出门离开后)

助手李·亨特:当他第一次来这个国家的时候,我参加了他的一个有关放射性元素在治疗疾病方面的作用。他是个很有才华的人,他的故事一点可能性都没有吗?

When he first came to this country, I attended his lectures... on the curative properties of the radioactive isotope. He is a brilliant man. Isn't his story in any way feasible?

艾尔森博士是的,我很抱歉,我也想帮助他。

No. And I'm sorry. I'd rather like to help him.

——❤️ 面对汤姆的怪兽发现,他先用科学知识与逻辑质疑假设,强调一亿年的冬眠几乎不可能。虽然质疑,但对汤姆保持礼貌,没有直接嘲讽,反而安抚汤姆的情绪。理智而温柔。

 

2(第二次接见汤姆·内斯比特教授)

艾尔森博士有些事情能够完全补偿等了三十年的假期,因为当它最终到来的时候,那种等待许多年的喜悦会成倍增加,我感觉自己像一名学生正在等待参加第一次夏令营。哦,顺便说一句,这倒提醒了我,我们年轻的核物理学家似乎来晚了。

You know, there's something very compensating in having to wait 30 years for a holiday. Because when it finally comes... the joy of anticipation is multiplied by just that many years. I feel like a schoolboy on the verge of departing for my first summer camp. Oh, by the way, that reminds me, our young nuclear physicist appears to be delayed.

助手李·亨特:他再过几分钟就来了,他从机场到这不会太久。

He'll be here any minute. Shouldn't take him long from the airport.

艾尔森博士中生代的动物活到了今天,呵呵哈,听这些胡言乱语会使我的工作和我的名声受损。不过我不会允许我的个人意见干扰到一个可能存在的传奇故事。

Mesozoic animal alive today. I can lose my job and my reputation listening to such nonsense. However, I won't allow my personal opinion to interfere with a romance.

助手李·亨特:别转移话题,你就是太固执了。

Don't try to change the subject. You're just being stubborn.

艾尔森博士我是吗?你听听这个,我今天早上读到的,1797年10月21日,戈登·劳顿教授强行摘去了他作为爱丁堡大学首席科学家而获得的皇冠勋章,他坚信,绿妖精要为古老的校区橡木灭绝而负责,他甚至发誓亲眼看见它们移动了那棵树。哈哈。

Am I? Now, just you listen to this. It's something that I read this morning. "On the 21st of October, in the year 1797, one Professor Gordon Laughton... was forcibly removed, by order of the Crown... from his chair of science at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Laughton was firmly convinced that leprechauns were responsible... for the uprooting of the ancient campus oak. Even swearing upon oath that he had seen them remove it."

(汤姆·内斯比特教授带着怪兽目击者到达,助手李·亨特带目击者去辨认图片后,艾尔森教授与汤姆对话)

艾尔森博士你不认为这是浪费时间吗?

You don't think this is going to be a waste of time?

汤姆几天前在亨特小姐的公寓,我选出了那个怪兽的样图,它就在那些图片里。

Dr. Elson, several days ago at Miss Hunter's apartment... I picked out the sketch of the beast I saw. It's right in that batch.

艾尔森博士但不幸的是 ,在古生物学中,光靠这些是远远不够的。

But, unfortunately, in paleontology, the empirics of logic isn't enough.

汤姆这不是经验主义的问题。如果太阳粒子中断并飞向太空中,我不认为发现这个信息的人是疯子,作为一名科学家,我会多方印证。

It isn't a question of empirics. If a particle of the sun broke off and flew into space... I wouldn't consider the man who brought that news to be insane. As a scientist, I would examine every facet of it.

艾尔森博士没错,但是如果太阳粒子中断,会有一亿人能看到。

Yes, but if a particle of the sun were to break off, 100 million people would've seen it.

汤姆教授如果它中断了,有没有人看到并不重要,重要的是它作为事实存在。那只怪兽也是同样的道理,它确实存在。

If it broke off, it would make no difference if one saw it or no one at all. It would still be. The same with the monster. It still is.

艾尔森博士或许我真的老了。

Perhaps I'm getting old.

——❤️ 用幽默谈论过去的荒诞事件,展示知识丰富、见多识广的一面;面对汤姆坚持的论证,他开始有所松动,暗示其科学探索的好奇心在萌芽。

 

3(当目击者指认出了相同的图片之后,艾尔森初步显示出了兴奋的情绪)

艾尔森博士:如果我们能确认的话,毫无疑问地。

If we could only be sure, without a shadow of a doubt-

汤姆教授:你还需要什么进一步的证据?事情会再次发生,还会继续出现的,我试图让当局密切监视海岸线,可是他们不听我的。

What further proof do you need? Things have happened again and again, and they'll continue to happen. I tried to get the authorities to keep the sea-lane and the coastline under close watch... they wouldn't listen to me.

艾尔森博士:这次他们会听的。给他们打电话,我跟他们说。

They'll listen this time, my boy. Get them on the phone. I'll talk to them.

——❤️ 当看到目击证人确认信息时,艾尔森博士立即表现出科学家的兴奋与参与感,并愿意不计前嫌直接联系当局,推动科学验证的实际操作。

 

4(当一座灯塔被破坏之后,艾尔森博士和当局一起分析怪兽的行踪)

艾尔森博士:你们注意到没有,我们一直在跟着北极水流的走向,所以有可能,它正在这里,正是在这些水下峡谷中,发现了这个物种的化石。

You'll notice we've been following the Arctic Current all the way down. So it's just possible that he might be making for here. It was in these submerged canyons that the fossils of his species were found.

杰克上校:我们可以在那些峡谷中布雷。

If what you say is true, we could mine those canyons.

艾尔森博士:杀死那个史前怪兽?哦,不行,想想那是对科学界多大的损失,不行。但活捉它一定是个了不起的成就。

And kill the Rhedosaurus? Oh, no. Think what a loss to science that would be. Oh, no. But to capture it alive would be an achievement.

菲儿队长:如果它真的存在,你打算怎么捉住它?

And just how do you propose to capture it, if it exists?

艾尔森博士:我不知道。但如果我们能探明那个峡谷,在确定捕捉它的方法之前,我必须要先去看看。

I don't know. But if we ascertain it's down there in the canyons... I'll have to go down and see it before I decide upon a method of capture.

助手李·亨特:但那太危险了。

That would be much too dangerous.

艾尔森博士:是的。但是想想这对科学研究做出的贡献,即使冒险也是值得的。队长,能不能找到一些潜水设备?

Yes, but then the risk would be worth it if one thinks of the benefit to science. Captain, is it possible to obtain the use of a diving bell?

菲儿队长:你真的打算去?

You really want to go down there?

艾尔森博士:是的。

Yes.

——❤️ 反对杀死怪兽,提议活捉,艾尔森把怪兽视作“活生生的化石”,它的存在对古生物学与整个科学界都是不可估量的财富,这是艾尔森博士真实的理想主义化科学精神的一面。

 

5(准备下水时)

汤姆教授:我觉得你只和一个人下去不是个好主意。

I don't like the idea of you going down there with just one man.

艾尔森博士:它装不下那么多人。如果有危险,我的组员知道该怎么做。

That's capacity. If there's any danger, my crewman will know what to do.

助手李·亨特:我给你带了晕船药。

I brought your Dramamine.

艾尔森博士:不用了,谢谢,我只是太兴奋了而已。

No, thank you, my dear. I'm much too excited to get seasick.

汤姆教授:记住,一旦发现危险,就给我们发信号。

Remember, at the first sign of danger, signal us.

艾尔森博士:你为什么坚信会有危险?那个史前生物和我是老朋友了。

Why will you persist in talking about danger, my boy? The Rhedosaurus and I are old friends.

(进入了潜水艇,与助手告别)

艾尔森博士:不要担心,李,我们是科学家,这是我们的工作,这一刻我倍感自豪。

Don't look so worried, Lee. We're scientists. This is our job. This is a great moment for me.

(下到海底,看到两只海底动物在猎食)

艾尔森博士:似乎两个当地居民之间有些意见分歧。

There appears to be a slight difference of opinion between two of the local inhabitants.

(看到了怪兽)

艾尔森博士:(对着对讲机)它在那!真是不可思议!它真是太大了!我只能看到它的一部分,腿和肩膀,但它太大了。

There he is! It's unbelievable. He's tremendous. I can only see part of him... the leg and the shoulder, but he is enormous.

汤姆教授:他发现它了!我们把你拉上来吗?

He found it. Shall we pull you up?

艾尔森博士:不,不,我要跟李通话。

No! No! No, put Lee on.

汤姆教授:(把对讲机给李)他想跟你通话。

He wants to talk to you.

助手李·亨特:是我,博士。

Yes, doctor.

艾尔森博士:李,毫无疑问,它是旧石器时代的生物!正如我们画的那样,除了背刺是一条而不是两条,它的锁骨似乎是悬架的,但最惊人的事情是......(怪兽朝他们过来,张大了嘴巴)

Lee, there's no mistake about it. It's a Paleolithic survival. It's exactly as we pictured it except the dorsal is singular, not bilateral. The clavicle suspension appears to be cantileveric. But the most astonishing thing about it is-

助手李·亨特:博士?博士?艾尔森博士?他没有回音。

Doctor? Doctor? Dr. Elson? He doesn't answer.

汤姆教授:博士?艾尔森博士?(对工作人员)把他拉上来。

Doctor? Dr. Elson? Hello! Get him up.

(但,艾尔森已经牺牲了,第二天的报纸登载了他的消息。)

——❤️ 艾尔森博士最终在见证奇迹中牺牲,但影片没有让他死得恐怖,而是带着某种“殉道式的平静”。他以学者的身份见证了真相,也以人类的身份被自然吞没。

時光機注解 · 個人評論 · Commentary

《原子怪兽》不是一部大制作的特效大片,没有大场面的冲突,也没有怪物的嗜血厮杀。

故事在轻松幽默的氛围中展开,人物穿着时尚,街道干净,即便被怪物追逐,影片也未渲染恐惧感。

所有人物,包括艾尔森博士,走向都十分干净、亲切,没有大起大落的情绪波动,仿佛他们就生活在我们的现实之中。

而怪兽 Rhedosaurus,自从被从睡梦中唤醒后,它的心情就非常糟糕,一会击沉船只,一会拉倒灯塔,但也只吃了一名朝他开枪的警察!最后还要在过山车里装模作样地倒下去!(定格动画)

这真是一部极其令人愉快的影片!
