《旅行终点》影片最后David在书店里念的那段话,每次看我还是会情不自禁,泪流满面:
When i think of this trip, i see David and me in that front seat of his car.
当我想起这段旅程,我回想起在他的车子里,David和我同坐在前排。
we are both so young.我们都如此年轻。he wants something better than he has, i want precisely what he has already.他想要甚于他已然拥有的,而我想要恰是他依然拥有的现在。
neither of us knows where our lives are going to go.我们都不知道各自的生活会奔向何处。
it smells like chewing tobacco, soda and smoke.闻起来如咀嚼烟草,汽水和香烟的味道。
and the conversation is the best one i ever had.那些对话是我经历过最棒的对话。
david thought books existed to stop you from feeling lonely.David认为书的存在,就是让人忘却孤独。if i could, i’d say to david that living those days with him reminded me what life is like instead of being a relief from it.如果可以,我想对David说:和他在一起的日子里,并非让我从生活中解脱,而是提醒我生活是什么样子的。
and i’d tell him it made me feel much less alone. 我也会告诉他,那让我感觉不那么孤独了。
