回家看了两部电影,喜欢其中几句台词。后悔三年前就买了《The Great Gatsby》却一直没有好好看完,也许看完这本书,我会愈加觉得盖茨比的确很了不起。
《了不起的盖茨比》:
He knew that when he kissed this girl ,and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath,his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.So he waited,listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star.Then he kissed her.At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.他知道只要他吻了这个女孩,他那些难以言喻的愿景就会和她短暂的呼吸永远相伴,然而他的心灵就再也不会像上帝的心灵一样纵横驰骋了。所以他等一会儿,想再倾听一下音叉在星星上被敲响的声音。然后他吻了她。他的嘴唇一碰到她,黛西就像鲜花般为他盛开,于是他就实现了化身,成为一个凡人。
I know that people like me have made a big mistake when they fall in love.我知道像我这样的人,坠入爱河便犯了大错。
Everyone has a green light in his heart, which can neither touch nor extinguish.每个人心中都有一盏绿灯,既触摸不到,也熄灭不了。
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.It eluded us then,but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster,stretch out our arms farther …And one fine morning—So we beat on,boat’s against the current,borne back ceaselessly into the past.盖茨比信奉的那种绿灯,就是年复一年我们渐行渐远的理想未来。它躲过了我们,但是不要紧——明天我们会跑得更快,胳膊伸得更远……我们总会迎来美好的清晨……于是我们奋力向前,逆流而行。注定会被不停的推回到过去。
《怦然心动》:
Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.有些人沦为平庸浅薄,有人金玉其外,而败絮其中。可不经意间,有一天你会遇到一个彩虹般绚烂的人,从此以后,其他人不过是匆匆浮云。
He knew exactly what it meant about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. He said it was the same with people but sometimes with people, the whole could be less.他完全懂得整体大于部分之和的道理,他说人也是一样的,只是有的人,从整体上看更加浅薄。
