男人在憧憬着一个女人身体的时候，
When a man sees a woman's body,
就关心到她的灵魂。
he thinks he's falling in love with her mind.
自己骗自己说，是爱上她的灵魂。
唯有占领了她的身体之后，
Only when he gets her body,
才能够忘记她的灵魂。
will he forget her mind.
也许……这是唯一的解脱方法，
Maybe......It's the only way to keep from falling in love.
为什么不呢？
It's no big deal.

他的生命里有两个女人，
He has two women in his life,
他说的一个是他的白玫瑰，
one is his white rose,
一个是他的红玫瑰。
the other is his red rose.
也许每一个男子全都有过这样的两个女人……
Perhaps every man has two such woman......
至少两个。
at least two.
娶了红玫瑰，
The red rose eventually becomes no more than
久而久之，红的变了墙上的一抹蚊子血。
the spattered blood stain of a mosquito on the wall.
白的还是“床前明月光”。
The white rose shines in the dark.
娶了白玫瑰，
After marriage the white rose is,
白的便是衣服上沾的一粒饭粘子。
no more than a grain of rice that sticks to your shirt.
红的却是心口上
But the red is really a mole in your chest...
一颗朱砂痣。
close to your heart.

一般文艺青年跟前进青年虽然笑他俗，
His young colleagues think he is old fashioned,
却都不嫌他。

刚瞅见有段影评里有段经典的引用，摘下来分享一下：
李碧华自己写了《青蛇》，她借青蛇之口说到，“对于世情，我太明白——
每个男人，都希望他生命中有两个女人：白蛇和青蛇。同期的，相间的，点缀他荒芜的命运。——只是，当他得到白蛇，她渐渐成了朱门旁惨白的余灰；那青蛇，却是树顶青翠欲滴爽脆刮辣的嫩叶子。到他得了青蛇，她反是百子柜中闷绿的山草药；而白蛇，抬尽了头方见天际皑皑飘飞柔情万缕新雪花。
每个女人，也希望她生命中有两个男人：许仙和法海。是的，法海是用尽千方百计博他偶一欢心的金漆神像，生世伫候他稍假词色，仰之弥高；许仙是依依挽手，细细画眉的美少年，给你讲最好听的话语来熨帖心灵。——但只因到手了，他没一句话说得准，没一个动作硬朗。万一法海肯臣服呢，又嫌他刚强怠慢，不解温柔，枉费心机。
得不到的方叫人恨得牙痒痒，心戚戚。我思想了很多很多很多年，终于想通了。——而人类此等蠢俗物，却永远都想不通。直到有一天我回头一看，才发觉已经变了天……”
