鲁贵：oh ,lady, you are here !you have recovered! Gui has been concerned about you for a long time!

繁漪:Yeah, go away. (鲁贵下) where did he go ?

周萍:Who?

繁漪:Your father.

周萍:He was busy meeting guest, he’ll be here soon, where’s my brother?

繁漪:He is only able to cry, he has gone away.

周萍:Oh, I need to go ,I’m going to pack my things up .(周萍转身上楼)

(繁漪转身)

繁漪:Come back , please sit down for a moment .〔周萍转身回来，和涟漪面对面〕

周萍:What’s up ?

繁漪:I’ve something to say .I hope you can understand the situation just now. it’s not a thing for one day .

周萍: Father is always like that, thing will be like what he said .

繁漪:But others say a word ,I have to follow .It isn’t my style .

周萍:I know you ,you’d better not hear his words.

繁漪:Ping, I hope you could be an honest man as you were. You know I’ve been ill without you.

周萍:So I need to go .we’d better not meet each other again so as to forget the thing we regret most.

繁漪: I’m not regretful .I never regret for what I have done .

周萍:I know I feel ashamed to meet you, I haven’t meet you these days ,I think you may know the reason well .

繁漪:Yes I know it well. 

周萍:Well I’m the most stupid guy. I feel regretful .I think I’ve made a big mistake in my life .I fell sorry to myself ,still to my father.

繁漪:But you forget the one you are most sorry to.

周萍:The one dose exist, but I don’t need to tell you .

繁漪:It isn’t her.It’s me,your stepmother.

周萍:You’re crazy !

繁漪:You own me,you should take responsibilities to me.You can’t run away yourself after seeing a mew world .

周萍:I think it’s terrifying for you to use these words.These can’t be used in、、、、、、in our gentle family .

繁漪:Gentle ?The gentle ?I’ve been in such a gentle family for 18 years.As for the things the Zhou’s has done,I’ve heard, I’ve met, I’ve done!But I don’t belong to the Zhous after all.I’ll take responsibilities of what I’ve done. I’m not like your grandpa ,uncle ,or your great father,who did so many terrifying things,and made others take the blame while pretending to be a gentlemen.

周萍:Fan,there are always someone who behaves improperly in a big family ,but except me .

繁漪:You are the same !Your father is a dishonest guy and he has tricked a girl before .

周萍:You couldn’t have said so.

繁漪:Your father is guilty to me .He trick me and took me to your family .I could not escape .More than ten years,as cruel as just now,and it made me into a stone -like being dead gradually.You came here suddenly.It’s you that led me to a way unlike a mother or lover.It’s you!

周萍:Could you please not use this word!You don’t know what happened then.

繁漪:You’ve forgotten this house,at midnight ,what did you say?While sighing ,you said you hate your father ,You said that you wished him to die though he’s your father .

周萍:Do you forget ?I was too young at that time.It’s my passion that drove me to say such stupid words.

繁漪:Do you forget that though I was only several years older than you at that time ,I was your mother at least.Do you know you shouldn’t have such words to me ?

周萍:Why won’t you forgive my mistakes for I was too young to be wise?

繁漪:This is not a problem about forgiving or not .I’ve prepared a coffin, waiting to die ill silence.But a man saved my life,and let me alone ,left me thirsty to die .So ,tell me ,what should I do?

周萍:I, I, I don’t know !Tell me !

繁漪:I hope you won’t go!

周萍:What? You want me to stay with you in such family thinking about things  we’ve made everyday,and feel depressed till death?

繁漪:You know such a family could kill you,how could you get away with leaving me alone in this family ?

周萍:You don’t have right to say such words!You’re brother chong’s mother.

繁漪:I’m not, I’m not ! I care about nothing since I give you all my life and fame.I’ m not, I’m not ! I’m not his mother I’m not Zhou puyuan’s wife ,either!

周萍:Though you don’t think you’re my father’s wife,I still admit I’m my father’s son.

繁漪:Whatever you say,you are your father’s son.Your father’s son ?〔ha ha ha、、、〕you are both useless,coward men.I hate I didn’t know that before.

周萍:So you know it now !I’m sorry to you .I’ve explained concretely to you .I hate that unnatural relationship .I tell you I hate it !I’ll take my responsibilities .I admit my fault ,but you can’t take off the blame.I think your cleverest, and I know you best .So I guess you will forgive me .You can blame me for everything .I do hope it’s our last talk.

繁漪:Stop! I hope you could understand what I’ve said.I’m not begging you.I hope you can understand what I’ve said in this house.many ,so many words .

周萍:I have thought about it thoroughly. I’m very sad these days ,I supposed you know.Now let mo go .(周萍离开〕

鲁贵：Just now the little servant came and said that the master was anxious for the raincoat .

繁漪:I will ask anti chen to send it.
