《恋爱假期》引发的empathy
大学英语课上老师给我们放了《恋爱假期》,四年里不知道看了多少遍。时隔多年今天再看,喜欢加倍,更有共情。
摘抄一段台词吧,是电影开头凯特·温斯莱特的独白:
But then, of course, Iove can aIso be found,
但是有些人能够轻易找到爱情
even if just for the night.
就算只是一夜情
And then there's another kind of Iove,
当然还有另一种爱情
the crueIIest kind,
最残酷的那一种
the one that aImost kiIIs its victims.
足以让人痛不欲生
It's caIIed unrequited Iove.那就是单恋
Of that, I am an expert.我就是这方面的专家
Most Iove stories are about peopIe
who faII in Iove with each other,
爱情故事通常讲的是两个人相爱
but what about the rest of us?
但是像我们这种人呢?
What about our stories,
我们的故事很少被提起
those of us who faII in Iove aIone?
孤独地坠入爱河
We are the victims of the one-sided affair.
我们是单恋的苦主
We are the cursed of the Ioved ones.
也是受诅咒的受害者
We are the unIoved ones, the waIking wounded,
更是没人疼没人爱的可怜虫
the handicapped without the advantage
of a great parking space.
就像找不到停车位的残障人士 。
