可可網友們,大家好。明天就是圣誕夜了。雖然我們都已經過了相信圣誕老人的年齡,但快樂熱鬧的日子里還是希望大家都多一份快樂。居家男人Jack, 也因那段似夢似幻的經歷,在圣誕節這天,尋找家的溫暖。
Kate: Jack. What are you doing here? Do you need closure? Because if you do, after all these years you got it. I'm okay. I'm fine. I...I was heartbroken, Jack. but I got over it, I moved on, and... you should move on too. Okay? I'm sorry. I just can't... I've gotta go. I-I...I'm sorry, Jack. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Jack: Can I just...I'm sorry. I was here. We have a house in Jersey! We have two kids. Annie and Josh. Annie's not much of a violin player, but she tries real hard. She's a little precocious, but that's only because she says what's on her mind. And when she smiles...
And Josh, he has your eyes. He doesn't say much, but we know he's smart. He's always got his eyes open. You know, he's always watching us. Sometimes you can look at him and you just know... he's learning something new. It's like witnessing a miracle.
The house is a mess, but it's ours. After 122 more payments, it's going to be ours.
And you... you're a nonprofit lawyer. That's right. You're completely nonprofit. But that doesn't seem to bother you. And we're in love. After 13 years of marriage, we're still unbelievably in love. You won't even let me touch you till I've said it.
I sing to you. Not all the time, but definitely on special occasions. And we've we've dealt with our share of surprises, and made a lot of sacrifices, but we stayed together.
You see, you're a better person than I am, and it made me a better person to be around you.
I don't know. Maybe... maybe it was all just a dream.
Maybe I went to bed one lonely night in December and I imagined it all, but I swear, nothing's ever felt more real. And if you get on that plane right now, it'll disappear forever.
I know we could both go on with our lives, and we'd both be fine. But I've seen... what we could be like together. And I choose us.
Please, Kate. One cup of coffee. You can always go to Paris. Just... please, not tonight.
Kate: Okay, Jack.
Jack: Okay.
對于突然出現在機場的Jack,Kate唯一能想到的就是他可能想要給十幾年前那段感情一個closure. Closure, 結束。如果那樣的話就完全不必要了,因為I got over it, I moved on. Get over something, 從痛苦或疾病中恢復;克服。再比如:He was disappointed at not getting the job, but he'll get over it. 他因為沒得到那份工作很失望,但是他想得開。Move on, 繼續前進。
這時,Jack開始講述那些迷住了自己的奇幻感受。她們有兩個孩子,女兒叫Annie, 并且is not much of a violin player. 表示she doesn’t play violin very well. 小提琴拉得不太好。但是很努力,并且有點precocious,早熟的。還有一個男孩兒,叫Josh, 喜歡觀察別人。
房子呢,是a mess, 亂七八糟,一團糟的。但是After 122 more payments, 再交122次貸款,就將是我們自己的了。
Kate盡管是個nonprofit lawyer, 公益律師,政府或者社會法律援助機構的律師,工會的維權律師,人權機構的維權律師等被稱為公益律師,不為錢財,但是樂此不疲。
Jack呢,會在special occasions,特殊情況下為Kate唱歌。On…occasion, 在某種情況下。And we’ve dealt with our share of surprise. Deal with, 解決,處理問題。Share of surprises指代生活中兩個人共同經歷的意外事件。Made a lot of sacrifices, 犧牲了很多。但是,we stayed together. 我們患難與共。
也許,那些都是我的夢,但是I swear, 我發誓,我保證。那些經歷從沒有這么真實過。雖然,我們都能go on with our lives 繼續自己現有的生活,但是,如果我們有可能在一起的話,I choose us. 我選擇我們。這句話也是十幾年前Kate在機場對Jack說過的。
這樣一番話下來,Kate被深深的打動。電影結束的場景是Jack和Kate在機場酒吧里促膝長談,窗外,雪花飄舞,勾勒出未來平凡但溫暖相守的日子。圣誕節,就像中國人的春節一樣,一個屬于一家人團聚,一個放下所有,只奔向家的日子。好了。下期影音時尚口語,我們繼續體會不一樣的圣誕精神。
