女主角的妈妈: “我知道你爱他,但是有时只有爱是不足以维持一段婚姻的. 你需要足够成熟以知道你是怎样的,你想要什麽,和他是怎样的”. (“I know you love him, but you know sometimes it takes more than love to sustain a marriage. You need to be old enough to know who you are and what you want and who he is”.)
女主角的爸爸: “婚姻就象一项商业投资. 它的长期有效性最好能冷静地建立”. (“Marriage is like a business investment. Its long-term viability is best established unemotionally.”)
男主角的爸爸: “有时我和你妈妈彼此相爱.有时我们必须努力维持. 你永远不可能在一部相册里看到那些艰苦的日子, 但是那些照片纪录了你从一个幸福的瞬间到另一个幸福的瞬间.” (“Some days your mother and me loved each other. Other days we had to work at it. You never see the hard days in a photo album, but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next.” )
也许这些爸爸妈妈们的话都是老生长谈. 不过的确很具代表性. 每个人对婚姻有不同的认识. 最终这对年轻人和解了,他们准备共同面对他们的未来,虽然他们不知道未来是什麽. 也许仅有爱是不够的,但是就象女主角回答她父亲时说的, 对于婚姻, “最低限度, 我们应该相爱. ” (“Bottom line, daddy, we love each other.)
