《恋爱假期》凯特·温丝莱特片头独白:莎翁及世间爱恋种种
I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night.
我发觉世间描述爱情的种种都是千真万确的。莎士比亚说过:“漂泊止于恋人相遇。”真是神来之笔。虽说我个人不曾有过一丁点儿这样的体验,但我愿意相信这是莎士比亚的经验之谈。也许我对于爱情的探究比起常人要多得多。这足以改变我们生活、赋予我们生命全新意义的力量,常常使我觉得不可思议。同样是莎士比亚,还说过:“爱情是盲目的。”这一点上,我很清楚他说的没错。有的爱情与日消退;有的爱情待成追忆;而有的爱情只在蓦然回首间,纵然只是一夜缠绵。
