明天,又是新的一天。但是生命中的有些人,有些事却永远都无法随风而散……
《飘》(Gone with the wind)是美国作家玛格丽特·米切尔十年磨一剑的作品,在世界文学上有不可撼动的地位。
叛逆倔强的斯嘉丽,一往情深的瑞德,坚韧贤良的梅兰妮,善良正直的阿希礼,这四个鲜活而逼真的人物演绎了一段凄美的爱情故事,同时也反映了南北战争时代下美国南方的社会生活。
今天,我们要欣赏的是《飘》中的句子。
Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.
担子是给那些肩膀足够强壮的人去挑的。
And apologies, once postponed, become harder and harder to make, and finally impossible.
道歉,一旦延迟,就变得越来越难以说出口了,最后无疾而终。
Scarlett, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
斯嘉丽,我从来都不是那样的人,不会耐心地拾起碎片,将它们拼凑起来,然后告诉自己这个被修补好了的东西跟新的一样。破碎了就是破碎了,我宁愿记得它曾经完好无缺的样子,而不是将其修补,终生看着那些破碎了的地方。
I couldn’t live with you and lie to you and I certainly couldn’t lie to myself. I can’t even lie to you now. I wish I could care what you do or where you go but I can't... My dear, I don't give a damn.
我无法与你生活,对你撒谎,当然也无法欺骗自己,即使是现在,我也无法对你说谎。我多希望自己还在乎你的未来,但是我做不到……亲爱的,我已经一点都不在乎了。
After all, tomorrow is another day!
毕竟,明天又是新的一天。
Hardships make or break people.
苦难可以成就一个人,也可以击垮一个人。
Never pass up new experiences, They enrich the mind.
不要错过新的体验,它们能够充实你的头脑。
Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.
只要你还没有失去名誉,你就无法意识到名誉这个担子有多沉重,自由又到底意味着什么。
Scarlet: Sir, you are no gentleman.
Rhett: And you miss are no lady. Don‘t think that I hold that against you. Ladies have never held any charm for me.
斯嘉丽:先生,你可真不是一个君子。
瑞德:女士,你也不是一位淑女。但不要认为我是在要挟你,我对淑女并不感兴趣。
Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think of you. That's the beginning of wisdom.
现在你开始有自己的想法了,而不是让他人帮你思考,这是智慧的开端。
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is.
生活没有义务满足我们的期望。我们应接受我们能得到的,并且为没有得到更糟糕的东西而感恩。
书的结尾,斯嘉丽在浓雾之中慌忙地奔向家中。喘息之时,当她看见一丝住宅的光亮,如一道希望之光,她知道,自己真心爱的人是瑞德。
然而,失望的瑞德已经决定放手离开。
Tomorrow is another day,这句勉励斯嘉丽挺过一次次苦难的话再一次在她失去心爱之人时出现,这一次,似乎多了一份无奈。
可是,在失去宝贵的东西后,斯嘉丽依然会坚强地面对明天……
这或许就是她如此有魅力的原因吧
