2010 太多期待

　　一部描写现代都市时尚女性的电影儿,看到女主角Rebecca，发生在她身上的一幕一幕，是那么熟悉，＂购物狂＂对于淘宝上的两钻买家的我，谁能说我没有足够大的脑袋戴这个帽子。

 

　　看着Rebecca 在商场疯狂购物的样子，嘴里说着，OH,YES,OH YES,OH YES....Ｈigh 死了，结果在收到银行的对帐单时，她说了．ＯＨ　ＮＯ！！每月收到银行的对帐单时，我也有同样的心情，有时候会很错愕，经常会怀疑自己的信用卡是不是被别人盗用了，怎么买了这么多东西呀，每次划信用卡的时候，真的以为这是有魔力的卡片，好像是划的是自己的卡，花的是别人的钱一样，只有在月底把刚从中行取出来的工资，在包包还呆不上十分钟，就要存入招行的自动存款机，往存款机放钱的那一刻，心在流泪呀，滴血呀．．．，好像我每月是在为招行打工一样。

 

  这部片子另一个让我非常有感触的情节,就是Atelle的女主编到Rebecca家，希望能够她加入ATELLE，当R妈妈把刚做好的蛋糕切给女主编吃的时候，女主编看着刀说，“TINY，TINY，TINY。。。。”最后，只需要切下似乎一毫米厚度的蛋糕，我都快哭出来了，这一幕像极了自己，我跟自己的好朋友说过，如果说我这一辈子最对不起的，不是父母，不是任何人，而是我这张嘴，这点是我周围每个人公认的，坦白说，我几乎什么都能吃，但只是一点点，其实我何尝不想跟别人一个把爱吃的东西吃个够呀，可是我做不到，真的很难，有时候大猫会说我，让我吃东西，跟害我一样，他总说我太瘦了，其实不是我真的瘦，而是他害怕我有一个不健康的身体。女人一辈子都在矛盾中生存，在与自己的身体抗争，就像毛主席说过的，这是一场持久战，但最终胜利的是“人民自己”，哈哈：）

 

  我和Rebecca还有一点不谋而合，她为了不让自己总想着购物，她去学了芬兰语，而我为了不让自己回到家就打开电脑沉迷于淘宝，而去学了法语，为了我和女主角的心有灵犀，鼓掌！

　　

　另外，理财专家给Rebecca的建议，step one, De-clutter your life,throw it all out.整理你的生活把它们都扔了．

Just box it up and toss it.

Simplicity and order are your new watchwords.（从此简单条理将成为你新的格言．）

我周六的确是把所有的衣服整理了一遍，可是真的舍不得扔掉．并且我也不相信扔掉了衣服就能让自己从此打消购物的念头．昨天大猫说了，等他的工资加奖金到了一个水平，我就不用再上缴家用了．期待着他快点儿到那个水平．我家一直是大猫理财的，因为我只会把财都理到商场里去．

 

　还是回来说说这部电影儿吧，Rebecca 酷爱购物，尤其是名牌商品，当她说包包，Ｇucci时的语气，让人感觉到她购物后无比欢愉的心情．当然，接下来就是沉重的债务问题，为了躲避derek 的追债，她编造了谎言，之后，当谎言大白于天下，她丢失了爱情．同时，当阴错阳差地把她的陪娘裙赠送给了慈善商店，她失去了友情，现在只能用祸不单行，福不双至形容她的遭遇．一句话，＂背＂到家了．但她还有她的父母，至少她还有弥足珍贵的亲情．随后，应该说，赛翁失马焉知非福，因为她在公众面前被揭露了她的债务问题，而她的问题却得到很多女孩子的共鸣，她一直梦寐以求的工作，Ａtelle 杂志的女主编向她伸出了橄榄枝，可是她却拒绝了．．．当她用自己昂贵的衣服换回了伴娘服时，她又重新获得了友情．她在街上走着，橱窗里的模特在向她召唤，此时此刻，她已经不再迷恋了．她脸上的笑似乎有一些无奈，但是更多的是释然，因为她还清了债务，她可以重新开始自己的生活．就在这个时候，Ｌuke （她的爱人）出现了．（在Ｒebecca 拍卖自己所有的物品时，ＬＵＫＥ同事雇了两个人，不惜以高价买了Ｒebecca 的绿色围巾,是这条围巾让ＬＵＫＥ和Ｒ结缘）ＬＵＫＥ把围巾给Ｒebecca戴上，之后，他们抱在一起，亲吻着．．．

我很喜欢Rebecca这个女孩子，the girl in  green scarf,很可爱，疯疯地，傻傻地，会编造一些小谎言的小机灵鬼．

Luke，严谨，有正义感，有爱心，有身份，有背景，执着着自己的追求，懂得欣赏别人，能找到这样的男人，就快嫁给他吧．

 

They didn't even need any money.They had magic cards.

我小时候怎么也没想到，我居然会有１２张．

Little did I know,I would end up with 12 .

Like fairies or princesses.

这是古典款式，我还可以得到１％的现金回馈．

It's vintage,and i got one percent cash back

Real prices got you shiny,sparkly things that lasted three weeks(原价是让你耀眼三周的东西） and mom prices got you brown things...that lasted forever．（用一辈子）

你留意这双鞋可以打五折．you notice they were 50 percent off.

A dreamy world full of perfect things.

A world where grown -up girls got what they wanted.

花多少钱都值得．and worth every penny.

Moving to New York,I met guys.

让我对一切充满期待．and that kind of put things in perspective .

cause you know that thing when see someone cute and he smiles and your heart like warm butter sliding down hot toast。暖暖的奶油涂在热吐司上．

顺其自然．不予理会．let sth slide

这就是我看到商店以后的感觉，只是感觉更加强烈。

well,that's what it's like when i see a store.only it's better.you see,a man will never love you or treat you as well as a store.

如果一个男人不适合你，你并不能在七天后把他换成漂亮的羊绒衫

if a man doesn't fit,you can't exchange him seven days later  for a gorgeous cashmere sweater.

他们处事得体and that kind of put things in perspective.

And a store always smells good.

甚至你根本不需要他，you never even knew you needed.

And when your fingers grasp those shiny,new bags 指尖触碰．

i felt sorry for the shop assistant ,she had a lazy eye.我不喜欢那个店员．

怎么交易？what are that gettin' for that?

越看越喜欢． it's growing on me.

and i have to say it was a bit of a surprise.i hope i made my point我希望我说清楚了．

是我第一个月的薪水．Pretty much my entire first month's salary.

Since I was 14,i wanted to work at Alette magazine.

If I can get this job I will be happy forever.

你的信用卡帐单欠了９００美元．

you just got a credit card bill of 900.

Wrap some old jeans around your neck,that'll keep you warm,that's what your mother woul do.

The point about this scarf is that it would become part of a definition of your psyche.

Do you see what I mean?

No,I do. keep talking.

It would make your eyes look bigger,it would make my haircut look more expensive. You'd wear it with everything.任何服饰都很搭．

it would be an investment 是个很好的投资．
