少年Pi的8句經典台詞
"I want to thank you for… I really want to thank you for believing in this story and share this incredible journey with me."
「謝謝你們相信這個故事,與我分享這個不可思議的旅程..... 」這是李安在奧斯卡頒獎中的致詞。今天和各位讀者一起讀<少年Pi的奇幻漂流>的經典台詞,那奇幻又真實的旅程,真的教人盪氣迴腸。
1. All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
人生就是不斷地放下,然而最讓人痛心的是,沒來得及說再見。
2. Then Richard Parker, companion of my torment, awful, fierce thing that kept me alive, moved forward and disappeared forever from my life.
然後,那個讓我生存下來的理查派克,那個讓我痛苦、害怕的兇狠的夥伴,就這麼向前走沒有回頭,永遠消失在我的生命裡。
3. If every unfolding we experience takes us further along in life, then, we are truly experiencing what life is offering.
如果我們在生命中的每一次轉變都讓我們走得更遠,那麼,我們就真正的體驗到了生命的奉獻。
4. I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life.
我必須說說恐懼,它是生活唯一真正的對手,因為只有恐懼才能打敗生活。
5. Pi: “Religion is a house with many rooms.”
Writer: “But no room for doubt?”
Pi: “Oh yes! On every floor.”
Pi:「信仰就像一座房屋,可以有很多樓層、很多房間。」
作家:「那有懷疑的空間麼?」
派:「當然,每一層樓都有。」
6. Pi: “Which story do you prefer?”
Writer: “The one with the tiger.”
Pi: “And so it goes with God.”
Pi:「“兩個故事你喜歡哪一個?」
”作家:「我喜歡有老虎那個。」
Pi:「所以,上帝也是這個道理。」
7. The most important thing is not to despair.
最重要的是不要絕望。
8. Life on a lifeboat isn’t much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn’t be more simple, nor the stakes higher.
舢板上的人生不像真實的人生,它更接近下棋,只有幾只棋子。元素再簡單不過的,賭局卻更高。
口語字彙
1. let go 鬆開、放下
這是一個很道地的口語,放下、鬆開,可以是具體的把東西放下,也可以是抽象的把心裡的一件事放下。如果後面有名詞,加of再接受詞。像Let go of me. (放開我)
Let go也可以用來指將某人遣
散。例如:I have to let you go. 我得讓你走,意思是,我不能繼續僱用你了。
2. go with 相信、協調、選擇
go with我們最熟的意思是一起走,它可以進一步延伸為明白、相信或協調。有人問你:"Do you go with me?" 不一定是指你要不要一起走,而是「你明白我的意思嗎?」
Mr. Lee's tie does not go with his suit. 李先生的領帶和西裝不搭。 |
