电子情书（1998）

如果我能出去
If I ever get out of here…
我就去娶奥丽特
I’m marrying Orit.
我爱她
I love her.
我应该和她结婚
I should marry her.
我不知道是什么阻止了我
I don’t know what’s been stopping me.
如果我能出去 我就去做眼部激光手术
If I ever get out of here, I’m having my eyes lasered.
如果我能出去
If I ever get out of here–
我的薄荷糖哪儿去了
Where are my Tic-Tacs?
怎么了
What?
我今晚回家
I came home tonight
踏进了上楼的电梯
and got into the elevator to go to my apartment.
一小时之后 我从电梯里出来了
An hour later, I got out of the elevator…
布林克利和我搬出了那里
and Brinkley and I moved out.
突然间一切都清晰了起来
Suddenly everything had become clear.
这故事说来话长
It’s a long story…
充满了我们极力避免谈起的个人细节
full of the personal details we avoid so carefully.
我就这么说吧
Let me just say…
在电梯里 有个男人坐在我旁边
there was a man sitting in the elevator with me…
他很清楚自己想要什么
who knew exactly what he wanted.
而我发现 我希望自己也能像他那么幸运
And I found myself wishing I were as lucky as he.
人们总是对我说 改变是好事
People are always telling you that change is a good thing.
但其实他们的意思是
But all they’re really saying is that
你最不希望发生的事
something you didn’t want to happen at all…
还是发生了
has happened.
我的店这周要关门了
My store is closing this week.
我有一家小店 我跟你提过吗
I own a store. Did I ever tell you that?
那家店很温馨
It’s a lovely store.
一周后 那里就会变成一个非常压抑的地方
And in a week it will be something really depressing…
比如一家连锁童装店
like a Baby Gap.
很快我们就会变成回忆
Soon we’ll just be a memory.
但其实 还是有一些笨蛋会觉得
In fact, someone, some foolish person will probably think
这是对这座城市的贡献
it’s a tribute to this city.
城市会一直日新月异地变化着
The way it keeps changing on you,
你永远不能指望它一成不变
or the way you can never count on it or something.
我知道这些 因为我常常会说这种话
I know because that’s the sort of thing I’m always saying,
但其实…
But the truth is…
我心碎了
I’m heartbroken.
我感觉我整个人的一部分就这么死去了
I feel as if a part of me has died…
而我的妈妈又再次离我而去
and my mother has died all over again.
没有人能够弥补这一切
And no one can ever make it right.
开业42年后
我们停业了
我们很高兴能成为你们人生的一部分
