The Bridges of Madison County
电影廊桥遗梦主要讲述了人到中年的摄影师罗伯特和农庄妇女弗朗西斯卡一起度过了浪漫而激情的四天，虽然这段不了的情缘因世事的羁绊而分离，但一颗孤寂的灵魂却找到了永恒的归宿。
这部电影获得了一项奥斯卡奖提名（最佳女主角）；两项金球奖提名（最佳电影；最佳女主角）
这是我非常喜欢的一部电影，记得第一次看是在初中，英语老师带着我们边看边讲，还教我们抄台词。
Robert: They always do. One the law of nature. Most people are afraid of change, but if you look at it like it's something that can always count on, then it can be a comfort．It doesn't have many things that you can count on．
罗伯特：事物总是会变化的，这是自然法则。大多数人害怕变化，但如果你把它看成是某种你总是可以依赖的东西的话，那它就能成为一种安慰。世上你能依赖的东西并不是很多。
Francesca: Oh. I'm supposed to say, It's just fine. It's quiet. The people are really nice, and all that is true, mostly. It's quiet and people are nice. In some ways, you know, we'll help each other out. When someone is sick or hurt, all the neighbors come in. They pick corn, or harvest oats, whatever. When it's been done, you're going to town, you can leave your car unlocked, let the kids run around, don't worry about them. Yea, there are lot of nice things about people here and I respect them for these qualities, but…
弗朗西斯卡：噢，我应该说，一切都还好。这儿很幽静，人们都非常好。所有这一切都是真的。还有，这儿安静、人也好。你知道，在有些方面是这样，我们互相帮助。当有人病了或受伤了，邻居们都会来看望，他们帮忙摘玉米，或收割麦子，什么都做。忙完了手头的活，你去镇上，你可以不锁车，让小孩们到处奔跑戏耍而不用替他们操心。是呵，这里的人们有很多优点，因为这些品质，我尊重他们。但是……
Robert: But？
罗伯特：什么？
Francesca: Well，it is not what I dreamed of as a girl．
弗朗西斯卡：咳，我少女时代的梦想并不是这样的。
Robert: Yea. I scribbled【潦草地书写】something down the other day. I often do that when l am on the road. It goes like this，the old dreams or good dreams, they didn't work out, but l had them. I don't know what all that means, just thought it might be used someday. Well, anyway I think I kind of know how you feel．
罗伯特：是啊，前两天我记下了一些东西，我外出上路时有这习惯。大概内容是这样的：“旧梦与好梦，虽然没能实现,但我曾经梦过。我不完全知道其中意思，只是认为总有一天它也许会有用。好啦，总之我想我有点理解你的感受。
ROBERT: Francesca, listen to me. You think what's happened to us happens to just anybody? All we feel for each other were hardly to separate people now. Some people search their whole lives for this and never found it-- others don't even think it exists. You are going to tell me that this is the right thing to do, to give it up?
罗伯特：弗朗西斯卡，你以为我们之间已经发生的事会在任何人中间发生吗？我们之间的感情现在已很难让人分开。有些人毕其一生寻找这种爱，但永远也没找到，还有些人甚至认为它不存在。你现在想告诉我说选择放弃是正确的吗？
FRANCESCA: We are the choices that we have made, Robert. Please. You don't understand. Don't you see, nobody understands when a woman makes a choice to marry, to have children? In one way her life begins, but in another way it stops. You build a life of details, you just stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave, they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you, because no one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never think that love like this can happen to you.
弗朗西斯卡：我们自己就是我们已经作出的选择，罗伯特，求求你了。 你不明白，你难道不明白，没有人会理解一个女人决定嫁人和生孩子的意义？从一方面来说，她的生活刚开始，而另一方面,她的生活又停止了。过具体的生活，成为母亲，妻子，你就得停下来，过平稳的日子，这样你的孩子们才能长大。当他们离开的时候，他们把你的琐碎生活也随之带走。别人期望你继续前进。只是你不记得你的生活动力是什么，因为很久没人问你了，包括你自己。你也没有想过这样的爱情会发生在你的身上。
ROBERT: But now you have it.
罗伯特：可不管怎样你现在拥有了它。
FRANCESCA: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. But if we leave we lose it. And I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold up so well inside of me. You have to help me.
弗朗西斯卡：是的。我想永远保持它。我希望下半生都象现在这样爱你。可是，如果我们一走了之，我们就会失去它。我不能使我的全部生活消失而去开始一种新的生活。我所能做的就是把我们的爱藏在内心深处。你得容许我这样做。
ROBERT: Who is us? Don't throw us away. Maybe you feel in this way, maybe you don't. Maybe it's because you are in this house. Maybe tomorrow when they come back, you will feel in different way. Don't you think it's possible?
罗伯特：不要离开我，不要把我们的机会扔掉。也许你有这种感觉，也许你没有。也许是因为你在这个屋子里。也许明天他们回来的时候，你是另一种感受。你不认为有这种可能吗？
FRANCESCA: I don't know.
弗朗西斯卡：我不知道。
ROBERT: Well, look, I'm gonna be here a few more days. We can talk it later. We don't have to decide it right now. Maybe we will see each other and you will change your mind.
罗伯特：听着，我在这里还会多呆几天，这个问题我们可以再谈，我们不必马上作出决定。或许我们可以达成一致，你会改主意的。
FRANCESCA: Robert. Don't do this.
弗朗西斯卡：罗伯特，不要留下。
ROBERT: I don't want to say goodbye right now! We have to make that decision. Maybe you'll change your mind.
罗伯特：我不想现在就说再见，但我们必须作出决定，也许你会改变主意的。
这么多年过去了，虽然台词不大记得了，但是对画面记忆犹新，那时候对剧情是没怎么看懂的，老师说了是讲爱情悲剧的，今天再看才看出了婚外情和中年危机。
虽然Francesca与Robert之间的爱是情爱、性爱与爱情的和谐统一，但是想到自己的人生，细思极恐。
