Mothershead:
Sir! I don't quite... I don't quite understand why it is you allow that sort of people in there.Dr. Frederick Treves:Why? Because he enjoys it, and I think it's very good for him.Mothershead:Yes, but, sir, you saw the expression on their faces. They didn't hide their disgust. They don't care anything about John! They only want to impress their friends!Dr. Frederick Treves:I think you're being rather harsh on them, don't you, Mrs. Mothershead?Mothershead:I beg your pardon!Dr. Frederick Treves:You yourself hardly showed him much loving kindness when he first arrived, did you?Mothershead:I bathed him, I fed him, and I cleaned up after him, didn't I? And I see that my nurses do the same. And if loving kindness can be called care and practical concern, then I did show him loving kindness, and I am not ashamed to admit it!

Well sir I don't quite I don't quite understand

00:00:04.875 --> 00:00:08.000

why it is you allow that sort of people in there

00:00:08.083 --> 00:00:10.523

Why Because he enjoys it and I think it's very good for him

00:00:10.625 --> 00:00:13.667

Yes but sir you saw the expression on their faces

00:00:13.075 --> 00:00:15.625

They didn't hide their disgust

00:00:15.708 --> 00:00:17.583

They don't care anything about John

00:00:17.667 --> 00:00:20.998

They only want to impress their friends

00:00:20.208 --> 00:00:22.226

I think you're being rather harsh on them don't you

00:00:22.025 --> 00:00:24.025

I beg your pardon sir

00:00:24.375 --> 00:00:26.393

You yourself hardly showed him much love and kindness

00:00:26.417 --> 00:00:28.025

when he first arrived did you

00:00:28.375 --> 00:00:32.167

I bathed him I fed him and I cleaned up after him didn't I

00:00:32.292 --> 00:00:34.875

And I see that my nurses do the same

00:00:35.208 --> 00:00:42.208

And if loving kindness can be called care and practical concern

00:00:42.333 --> 00:00:45.667

then I did show him loving kindness and I am not ashamed to admit it

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.021

حسن ا يا سيدي أنا لا أفهم

00:00:04.668 --> 00:00:07.067

لماذا تسمح لهؤلاء الناس بزيارته

00:00:08.171 --> 00:00:10.422

لماذا لإنه يستمتع بهذا وأعتقد أن هذا في صالحه

00:00:10.922 --> 00:00:15.425

نعم يا سيدي لكنك ترى التعبيرات على وجوههم إنهم لا يخفون إشمئزازهم

00:00:15.925 --> 00:00:19.594

إنهم لا يهتمون بـ جون إنهم فقط يريدون التباهي أمام أصدقائهم

00:00:20.001 --> 00:00:23.068

أنت تقسين عليهم يا سيدة مزرسيد أليس كذلك ماذا تقول يا سيدي

00:00:24.018 --> 00:00:27.765

أنت بنفسك لم تشعريه بـ رفقة لطيفة أول ما جاء إلى هنا أليس كذلك

00:00:28.265 --> 00:00:31.684

أنا أ ح ميه وأطعمه وأنظف المكان له أليس كذلك

00:00:32.185 --> 00:00:34.395

وأحرص على أن تفعل ممرضاتي نفس الشيء

00:00:34.853 --> 00:00:41.732

وإذا كانت الرعاية والعناية المنهجية يمكن تسميتها بـ الرفقة اللطيفة

00:00:42.019 --> 00:00:44.984

فأنا قد أريته رفقة لطيفة ولا يخجلني هذا

00:00:45.442 --> 00:00:48.652

أنا لم أقصد هذا يا سيدة مزرسيد أرجو أن تصدقيني

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.597

Je ne comprends pas

00:00:04.696 --> 00:00:06.994

pourquoi vous autorisez ces gens à venir ici

00:00:08.001 --> 00:00:10.059

Parce qu' il y prend plaisir

00:00:11.089 --> 00:00:15.485

Vous avez vu leur expression Ils ne cachaient pas leur dégoût

00:00:15.785 --> 00:00:19.081

Ils se moquent de John Ils veulent impressionner leurs amis

00:00:19.981 --> 00:00:22.778

Je vous trouve un peu dure pour eux

00:00:24.176 --> 00:00:27.573

Vous même n' avez guère été tendre à son arrivée

00:00:28.272 --> 00:00:31.669

Je l' ai baigné nourri j' ai fait sa chambre

00:00:32.168 --> 00:00:34.666

Je veille à ce que mes infirmières fassent de même

00:00:35.998 --> 00:00:38.962

Si l' on peut appeler tendresse l' attention

00:00:39.261 --> 00:00:44.997

et le souci quotidien alors j' ai fait preuve de tendresse envers lui

00:00:44.456 --> 00:00:45.555

et je n' en ai pas honte

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.458

Sir ich verstehe nicht ganz Ich verstehe nicht ganz

00:00:04.625 --> 00:00:07.625

warum Sie diese Art von Leuten dort drin erlauben

00:00:07.792 --> 00:00:10.833

Warum Weil es ihm Freude macht Es tut ihm gut

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.624

Aber Sir Sie haben doch gesehen Die verstecken ihren Ekel nicht

00:00:15.791 --> 00:00:20.041

Denen ist John doch völlig egal Die wollen ihre Freunde beeindrucken

00:00:20.207 --> 00:00:24.001

Sie übertreiben Mrs Mothershead Ich muss schon sehr bitten Sir

00:00:24.249 --> 00:00:27.999

Sie haben ihn nicht gerade mit liebevoller Fürsorge empfangen oder

00:00:28.166 --> 00:00:31.999

Ich habe ihn gebadet gefüttert und hinter ihm sauber gemacht oder

00:00:32.166 --> 00:00:34.456

Und ich leite meine Schwestern dazu an

00:00:34.623 --> 00:00:38.998

Wenn man statt liebevoller Fürsorge auch Pflege sagen kann

00:00:39.165 --> 00:00:41.956

und praktische Aufmerksamkeit

00:00:42.123 --> 00:00:45.456

dann hatte er liebevolle Fürsorge Ich muss mich nicht schämen

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.516

なぜあんな人達の一一

00:00:04.064 --> 00:00:08.011

面会を許すんですか

00:00:08.024 --> 00:00:10.834

彼も楽しんでる

00:00:10.096 --> 00:00:15.083

彼らの顔を見れば分かります

00:00:15.096 --> 00:00:19.954

友達に自慢したいだけです

00:00:20.998 --> 00:00:21.991

まさか

00:00:22.012 --> 00:00:24.002

もちろんです

00:00:24.002 --> 00:00:28.159

あなたも親切ではなかった

00:00:28.028 --> 00:00:32.997

ちゃんと彼の世話はしました

00:00:32.016 --> 00:00:34.072

他の看護士も同様です

00:00:34.084 --> 00:00:41.997

実際にお世話をする事が親切にあたらないのですか

00:00:42.012 --> 00:00:45.192

そうは思いません

00:00:45.032 --> 00:00:48.995

そんな意味で言ったんじゃない

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.025

Я никак не возьму в толк почему Вы

00:00:04.712 --> 00:00:07.713

позволяете этим людям приходить сюда

00:00:08.174 --> 00:00:10.462

Почему Потому что Джону это нравится

00:00:10.926 --> 00:00:15.469

Сэр но Вы же замечаете отвращение на их лицах они его даже не скрывают

00:00:15.931 --> 00:00:17.729

Им совершенно безразличен Джон

00:00:17.782 --> 00:00:20.999

Они только лишь хотят поразить своих друзей

00:00:20.102 --> 00:00:23.072

А Вы не слишком предосудительны Прошу прощения сэр

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:26.036

Вы и сами то не проявляли к нему особой любви с той поры

00:00:26.382 --> 00:00:28.011

как он здесь появился Разве нет

00:00:28.277 --> 00:00:31.728

Позвольте Я купала его кормила подтирала за ним

00:00:32.198 --> 00:00:34.439

И мои сестрички делали то же самое

00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:37.556

Это ли не проявление любви

00:00:37.661 --> 00:00:41.789

В практическом смысле уход даже важнее любви

00:00:42.249 --> 00:00:45.001

И своего предпочтения я не боюсь признать
