电影《廊桥遗梦 》经典对白

The Bridges of Madison County

翻译: Grace  |  Idea: Amanda

Robert(R): 老杨 |  Francesca (F): 玲子

R: Come with me. 

Go away with me.

You're not coming with me, are you? 

F: I have been thinking about this, It doesn't seem like this is the right thing to do

R: Not the right thing for whom?

F: For anyone, My family won't be able to handle this. Richard will never be able to accept this. It will break his heart. He's never hurt anyone in his whole life and doesn't deserve this.

R: He will move on. We all will move on. 

F: His family has owned this farm for over 100 years. He doesn't know how to live anywhere else. And my kids...

R: They've all grown up. You said they hardly talk to you. 

F: Yeah, they don't say much. But Carolyn is only 16. She's going to be mature,

fall in love and start her family. If I leave, what example am I setting for her?

R: What about us? 

F: You should know the minute I leave this family, everything will change.

R: Yeah, perhaps... It could get better. 

F: No matter how much distance we put between ourselves and this house, I will always carry it's memories. I can feel it's presence whenever we're together. And I will start to blame loving you for my pain and sorrow. And then, even these 4 beautiful days will seem

just like something sordid and a mistake.

R: Francesca, Do you think that what happened with us will happen to anyone? We are tightly intertwined, as if melting into a life. Some people search all their life and never find this. Others don't even think it exists. You're going to tell me, this is not the right thing to do? And want to give it up?

F: There's already an ending to all this, Robert. Don't you understand? Don't you see? Nobody understands when a woman decides to marry and have children, In one way, her life begins, but in another, it ends. She builds a normal life of and just puts her personal needs aside. So that her children can grow. Then when they leave, They take the life that she has built with them. She can not get back to her own life.

And don't remember the purpose of her life.

R: Because no one asks her, not even herself, because she never thinks about it. She never thought great love like this will happen to her. Now you have it. 

F: I want to keep this love forever, I want to love you the way I do for the rest of my life. But if we leave we will lose it. And I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one.

All I can do is try to hold on to us. Deep down inside of me, I feel you have to help me. Don't lose us.

R: Don't throw this away. Don't throw this love away easily. Maybe you don't want to leave me, but also can't let go of this house. Maybe tomorrow, when they come back, you'll feel differently. 

F: I don't know.

R: Look, I'm going to be here a few more days. We can talk later. We don't have to decide now. 

F: Robert, please! Don't do this.

R: I don't want to say goodbye now. We don't have to make that decision. Maybe when we see each other, you'll change your mind. 

F: If that happens you have to decide, because I can't. I'll only say this once.

R: I've never said it before, but this kind of certainty love comes just once in a lifetime. Francesca.

F: I love you, Robert.

R: I love you too, Francesca.
