由字幕引起的误解

我看的那版字幕翻译颇有问题，以至于无法理解结局处，国王在拒绝德国大使后发表的那一番讲话的真正含义。于是我特意去下了一版英文字幕，这才搞明白是什么意思：

“It has left a great impression on me that the responsibility for what will happen to the people and the country, if the German demands are rejected, is put on me. It's a heavy responsibility. So heavy that I dread to bear it.

It's the Government that has the decision, but my position is clear: I can not accept the German demands. It would be contrary to everything i think is my duty as a King since I arrived to this country almost 35 years ago. I can not cross that line. I don't want to cross that line. I don't want this to be the deciding factor for the Government. But I have carefully tested myself and weighted my position. And I can not name Quisling that I know not to have any support from the people.

Should the Government decide to accept the German demands, and I totally understand the reasons to do so in view of the imminent danger in which we are in, and because of the large number of young Norwegians that will have to sacrifice their lives in the fight. Should you choose to accept these demands, then there is no other way for me but to abdicate for me and for my house.”

大概意思是：我当然明白一旦拒绝德国人的要求，后果是很严重的。这应该是政府的决定，我作为国王不能干涉。但我本人的立场已经很明确了，那就是我不接受。如果政府决定接受德方的要求，那我当然也可以理解。不过在这种情况下，我（和我的家族）除了退位就别无选择了。

基本上，国王就是以退位为威胁，鼓励政府拒绝对德妥协。换句话说，那就是决心要坚持抵抗了。
