《美国丽人》我最喜欢的一段。觉得这段台词美极了。
中文是我自己翻译的。
I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined our street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
我一直听说过临死的瞬间你的整个人生会在你眼前飘闪而过。首先,我要说,那个瞬间并不是瞬间,它绵延无限,像是时间的长河。
我嘛,我看见自己在童子军的夏令营,躺在草地上,看着天上的流星……
看见我们小区道路两旁的枫树,满树的黄叶……
看见奶奶的手,皱纹密布,像是皱巴巴的纸张……
第一次看到表兄那辆崭新的火鸟牌汽车的情景……
哦,还有珍妮,还有珍妮……(他女儿)
还有卡洛琳……(他妻子)
我本以为,想想自己的遭遇,我会挺生气的。但是,看看这个世界如此美好,真的很难一直心怀不平。有时候,我觉得自己好像在一瞬间可以感受到世界所有的美好,它太多太多了,我的心就像充满了气,要爆的气球一样……
我就提醒自己记得放松下来,学会放手。后来,这种感觉就像流过全身的雨水。我心里只剩下感激,感激自己渺小卑微,有些许愚蠢的人生,那人生中的每一个时刻……
你可能不明白我在说什么。不过没关系,很快你就明白了。
