《戀愛假期》凱特·溫絲萊特片頭獨白:莎翁及世間愛戀種種
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.
我發覺世間描述愛情的種種都是千真萬確的。莎士比亞說過:“漂泊止于戀人相遇。”真是神來之筆。雖說我個人不曾有過一丁點兒這樣的體驗,但我愿意相信這是莎士比亞的經驗之談。也許我對于愛情的探究比起常人要多得多。這足以改變我們生活、賦予我們生命全新意義的力量,常常使我覺得不可思議。同樣是莎士比亞,還說過:“愛情是盲目的。”這一點上,我很清楚他說的沒錯。有的愛情與日消退;有的愛情待成追憶;而有的愛情只在驀然回首間,縱然只是一夜纏綿。
