CHAPTER 10 第10章 ON TUESDAY, the fifth day of work, Therese sat in a little bare room with no ceiling at the back of the Black Cat Theatre, waiting for Mr. Donohue, the new director, to come and look at her cardboard model. Yesterday morning, Donohue had replaced Cortes as director, had thrown out her first model, and also thrown out Phil McElroy as the second brother in the play. Phil had walked out yesterday in a huff. It was lucky she hadnt been thrown out along with her model, Therese thought, so she had followed Mr. Donohues instructions to the letter. The new model hadnt the movable section she had put into the first, which would have permitted the living-room scene to be converted into the terrace scene for the last act. Mr. Donohue seemed to be adamant against anything unusual or even simple. By setting the whole play in the living room, a lot of the dialogue had to be changed in the last act, and some of the cleverest lines had been lost. Her new model indicated a fireplace, broad French windows giving onto a terrace, two doors, a sofa, and a couple of armchairs and a bookcase. It would look, when finished, like a room in a model house at Sloans, lifelike down to the last ash tray. 星期二，第五个工作日，特雷泽坐在黑猫剧院后面的一个小小的没有屋顶的空房间里，正等着多诺霍先生--新导演，过来看她的纸板模型。昨天早上，多诺霍先生代替了科尔特斯成为了导演，把她的一个模型给扔了，菲尔·埃尔罗伊是剧组第二位被开除的人。昨天菲尔愤怒地走出去了。幸运地是她没有跟着她的模型被一起丢出去，所以她按照多诺霍先生指示--甚至到字言片语办事。新模型没有她在第一个模型里放入的可移动部分，那个可移动部分可以为最后一幕把客厅场景转变成阳台布景。多诺霍先生似乎对任何不寻常或甚至简单的东西都十分抵制。把整个戏剧都放在客厅里，在最后一幕，许多对话也改变了，一些精彩的台词也砍了。她的新模型标有一个壁炉，宽敞法式的窗子通向阳台，俩条门，一张沙发和几把椅子和一个书柜。当做完的时候，它看起来像在斯隆里头的一个样板屋里头的一间房，连最后一个烟灰缸都栩栩如生。 Therese stood up, stretched herself, and reached for the corduroy jacket that was hanging on a nail in the door. The place was cold as a barn. Mr.Donohue probably wouldnt come in until afternoon, or not even today if she didnt remind him again. There was no hurry about the scenery. It might have been the least important matter in the whole production, but she had sat up until late last night, enthusiastically work
