All that city. You just couldn’t see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway. And I was grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. There was no problem. It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn’t see. You understand that? What I didn’t see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world... 所有那些城市，你就是无法看见尽头。尽头？拜托！拜托你给我看它的尽头在哪？当时，站在舷梯向外看还好。我那时穿着大衣，感觉也很棒，觉得自己前途无量，然后我就要下船去。放心！完全没问题！可是，阻止了我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所无法看见的那些东西。你明白么？我看不见的那些。在那个无限蔓延的城市里，什么东西都有，可惟独没有尽头。根本就没有尽头。我看不见的是这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。 Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. 拿一部钢琴来说，从琴键开始，又结束。你知道钢琴只有88个键，随便什么琴都没差。它们不是无限的。你才是无限的，在琴键上制作出的音乐是无限的。我喜欢这样，我活的惯。 You get me up on that gangway and you’re rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that’s the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You’re sitting on the wrong bench. That’s God’s piano. 你把我推到舷梯上然后扔给我一架有百万琴键的钢琴，百万千万的没有尽头的琴键，那是事实，max，它们没有尽头。那键盘是无限延伸的。然而如果琴键是无限的，那么在那架琴上就没有你能弹奏的音乐，你坐错了地方，那是上帝的钢琴. Christ! Did, did you see the streets? Just the streets… There were thousands of them! And how do you do it down there? How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die... 天啊！你……你看过那些街道吗？仅仅是街道，就有上千条！你下去该怎么办？你怎么选择其中一条来走？怎么选择“属于你自己的”一个女人，一栋房子，一块地，或者选择一道风景欣赏，选择一种方法死去。 All that world is weighing down on me, you don’t even know where it comes to an end, and aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of living it? 那个世界好重，压在我身上。你甚至不知道它在哪里结束，你难道从来不为自己生活在无穷选择里而害怕得快崩溃掉吗？ I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. 我是在这艘船上出生的，整个世界跟我并肩而行，但是，行走一次只携带两千人。这里也有欲望，但不会虚妄到超出船头和船尾。你用钢琴表达你的快乐，但音符不是无限的。我已经习惯这么生活。 Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It’s a woman too beautiful; it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It’s a music I don’t know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don’t exist for anyone. You’re an exception, Max, you’re the only one who knows I’m here. You’re a minority, and you better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not getting off. 陆地？陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，一个太漂亮的女人，一段太长的旅行，一瓶太刺鼻的香水，一种我不会创作的音乐。我永远无法放弃这艘船，不过幸好，我可以放弃我的生命。反正没人记得我存在过，而你是例外，max，你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是唯一一个，而且你最好习惯如此。原谅我，朋友，我不会下船的。 This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper ——T·S·Eliot 原文： Moonlight city. You just couldn’t see an end to it. It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me ,Max. It was what I didn't see. Take the piano. Keys begin. Keys end. You know there are 88 of them. They’re not infinite. You’re infinite. And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out in front of me. Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end. That keyboard is infinite. Then on that keyboard there’s no music you can play. That’s God’s piano. Did you see the streets? There’re thousands of them. How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one way to die……. You don’t even know where it comes to an end. Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the thought of it? I was born on this ship. And the world passed me by. But 2000 people at a time and there’re old wishes here . But nevermore that fit between prow and stern.. You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land? Land is a ship too big for me, It’s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to strong, music I don’t know how to play. I can never get off this ship. At best, I didn’t step off my life. After all, I don’t exist for anyone. 译文： 偌大的城市，绵延无尽。 并非是我眼见的让我停住了脚步， 而是我所看不见的。你能明白吗？ 拿钢琴来说。 键盘有始亦有终。 你确切地知道88个键就在那儿，错不了。 它们并不是无限的，而你，才是无限的。你能在键盘上表现的音乐是无限的。 我喜欢这样，我能轻松应付。 而你现在让我走过跳板，走到城市里， 等着我的是一个没有尽头的键盘。 我又怎能在这样的键盘上弹奏呢？ 那是上帝的键盘啊！ 你看到那数不清的街道吗？ 如何只选择其中一条去走？ 一个共渡一生的女人，一幢属于自己的屋子，一种生与死的方式~~~~ 你甚至不知道什么时候才是尽头。 一想到这个，难道不会害怕、会崩溃吗？ 我在这艘船上出生。 世事千变万化，然这艘船每次只载2000人。 这里有着希望，但仅在船头和船尾之间。 你可以在有限的钢琴上奏出你的欢欣快乐。 我习惯了这样的生活。 陆地？ 陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船， 太漂亮的女人，太长的旅程，太浓烈的香水，无从着手的音乐。 我永远无法走下这艘船， 这样的话，我宁可舍弃我的生命。 毕竟，我从来没有为任何人存在过，不是么？ 评价 其实这部电影表达的东西挺多的~ 熟悉道家思想的人 可以在里面发现很多道家思想的影子~ 刚才看到一个朋友说“其实这部电影没有想表达什么具体的东西”~ 这句话我可不赞同哦~ 看这个电影一定要对比着来看~ 也就是说~这个里面出现了很多“对比”~ 作者通过这个明显的对比~突出了自己的思想~ 比如说：‘船’这个小世界 和 ‘城市’这个大世界的对比~~钢琴的八十多个键 和 城市里无数楼房的对比 主角的无邪和他人的世俗的对比~~ 还有一幕我映像很深~ 主角和胖子在铲煤的那段~ 主角没去过胖子的家乡~ 却可以把胖子的家乡形容得那么贴切那么美~而胖子自己却都没有发现~ 这也是一处很强烈的对比（像不像庄子的身居陋室而神游于天地？） 这个电影想表达的东西挺多的~ 但是我觉得最大的 也是最重要的思想~就是主角最后说的那一大段话~~具体的对白就不说了~~ 大致意思就是~~在有限的琴键上我可以演奏无限的音乐~， 在有限的空间（船）里，我可以遨游于世界获得无限的快乐。但是外面的人~ 无限的空间无限的追求~他们的快乐却不知道从何而来了~ 说白了就是~ 有限的欲望 就能获得无限的快乐~ 无限的欲望~ 一个人就永远也不会满足~也永远不会快乐了~ 所以人类每天都在不停的把森林变成都市~把自然变成废墟~人类无限的欲望无限的索取~~永远没有尽头~也永远不会满足和快乐了~ 这也是 有限 和 无限的对比啊~。。。。 最后一个镜头是个引申。。 胖子一个人孤单的走进了没有尽头的街道~~
