《廊桥遗梦》经典台词：放弃是正确吗?.

　　《廊桥遗梦》影片讲述了家庭主妇弗朗西斯卡在家人外出的四天里遇到了《国家地理》杂志的摄影师罗伯特·金凯，在经历了短暂的浪漫缠绵后，弗朗西斯卡因不愿舍弃家庭而与罗伯特·金凯痛苦地分手。但是对金凯的爱恋却萦绕了弗朗西斯卡的后半生。

　　ROBERT: Francesca, listen to me. You think what&aposs happened to us happens to just anybody? All we feel for each other were hardly to separate people now. Some people search their whole lives for this and never found it-- others don&aposteven think it exists. You are going to tell me that this is the right thing to do, to give it up?

　　罗伯特：弗朗西斯卡，你以为我们之间已经发生的事会在任何人中间发生吗?我们之间的感情现在已很难让人分开。有些人毕其一生寻找这种爱，但永远也没找到，还有些人甚至认为它不存在。你现在想告诉我说选择放弃是正确的吗?

　　FRANCESCA: We are the choices that we have made, Robert. Please. You don&apost understand. Don&apost you see, nobody understands when a woman makes a choice to marry, to have children? In one way her life begins, but in another way it stops.

　　You build a life of details, you just stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave, they take your life of details with them. And then you&aposre expected move again only you don&apost remember what moves you, becauseno one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never think that love like this can happen to you.

　　弗朗西斯卡：我们自己就是我们已经作出的选择，罗伯特，求求你了。(绝望地解释道) 你不明白。你难道不明白，没有人会理解一个女人决定嫁人和生孩子的意义?从一方面来说，她的生活刚开始，而另一方面,她的生活又停止了。过具体的生活，成为母亲，妻子,你就得停下来，过平稳的日子，这样你的孩子们才能长大。当他们离开的时候，他们把你的琐碎生活也随之带走。别人期望你继续前进。只是你不记得你的生活动力是什么，因为很久没人问你了，包括你自己。你也没有想过这样的爱情会发生在你的身上。

　　ROBERT: But now you have it.

　　罗伯特：可不管怎样你现在拥有了它。

　　FRANCESCA: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. But if we leave we lose it. And I can&apost make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold up so well inside of me. You have to help me.

　　弗朗西斯卡：是的。我想永远保持它。我希望下半生都象现在这样爱你。可是，如果我们一走了之，我们就会失去它。我不能使我的全部生活消失而去开始一种新的生活。我所能做的就是把我们的爱藏在内心深处。你得容许我这样做。

　　ROBERT: Who is us? Don&apost throw us away. Maybe you feel in this way, maybe you don&apost. Maybe it&aposs because you are in this house. Maybe tomorrow when they come back, you will feel in different way. Don&apost you think it&aposs possible?

　　罗伯特：不要离开我，不要把我们的机会扔掉。也许你有这种感觉，也许你没有。也许是因为你在这个屋子里。也许明天他们回来的时候，你是另一种感受。你不认为有这种可能吗?

　　FRANCESCA: I don&apost know.

　　弗朗西斯卡：我不知道。

　　ROBERT: Well, look, I&aposm gonna be here a few more days. We can talk it later. We don&apost have to decide it right now. Maybe we will see each other and you will change your mind.

　　罗伯特：听着，我在这里还会多呆几天，这个问题我们可以再谈，我们不必马上作出决定。或许我们可以达成一致，你会改主意的。

　　FRANCESCA: Robert. Don&apost do this.

　　弗朗西斯卡：罗伯特，不要留下。

　　ROBERT: I don&apost want to say goodbye right now! We have to make that decision. Maybe you&aposll change your mind.

　　罗伯特：我不想现在就说再见，但我们必须作出决定，也许你会改变主意的。

　　FRANCESCA: If that happens, you have to decide. Because I can&apost.

　　弗朗西斯卡: 如果真是那样，你得做决定，因为我不能。

　　ROBERT: I&aposll say this once. I never said it bore. This kind of certainty comes just once in a lifetime.

　　罗伯特: 我只想声明一次，我以前从来没有这样说过。像这样肯定的事一生中只能出现一次。
