“如果你不出去走走,你就会以为这就是世界。” ――《天堂电影院》
网上流传的经典台词之一,令人颇有感悟,但很遗憾,我并未在《天堂电影院》(CINEMA PARADISO)里找到哪句台词可以翻译成这句话。也许是对这段剧本的误译:
When you’re here every day you feel
like you’re at the center
of the universe, it seems like
nothing ever changes. Then you go
away, one year, two…And when you
come back, everything’s different.
The thread has broken. You don’t
find those you were looking for, your
things no longer exist. Isn’t that
the case?…You’ve got to go away a
long time, for many, many years,
before coming back and finding your
people again, the land where
you were born…But not now, it’s
impossible. Now you’re blinder than I am.
“成天待在这里,你会觉得它就是世界的中心,万物似乎一成不变。而当你离开几年再回来时,会发现一切面目全非,无迹可寻,曾经的追求与拥有(那些你曾追求的、曾拥有的)皆已成空,不是这么回事吗?……你需要远走高飞,早晚有天你会重回故土,再见亲友,不过那将是多年以后,而非现在。如今的你,要比瞎了眼的我还要盲目。”
这是ALFREDO对TOTO(SALVATORE)说的一段话。接下来还有一句他的对白:
Life’s not like you saw it in the movies.
Life…is harder.
生活非若电影中所描写那样,
生活……更为艰辛。

离开熟悉的亲人朋友,放弃习惯甚至舒适的环境,去追寻一个未知又看似遥不可及的将来,总是需要很大的决心。道路的选择无关是非对错,却远比是非对错更加复杂,尝试意味着一次又一次的失败挫折,而由尝试带来的乐趣,往往又只能在多年之后才能真正体会。有时候众多选择要比别无选择更让人痛苦和彷徨,又有什么办法呢?
