　　經(jīng)典臺(tái)詞一

　　Alfredo: Living here day by day, you think it's the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything's changed. The thread's broken. What you came to find isn't there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time… many years… before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It's not possible. Right now you're blinder than I am.

　　阿爾夫萊多：在這里居住了一天又一天，你認(rèn)為這里就是世界的中心。你相信一切都永不會(huì)改變。然后你離開(kāi)了，一年，兩年，當(dāng)你回來(lái)時(shí)，一切都變了。那條線斷了，你所尋找的并不是這里。你只能再次離開(kāi)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間……很多年……直到你能回來(lái)尋找你的人們，你出生的土地。但是現(xiàn)在不可能。現(xiàn)在你比我還要瞎。

　　Salvatore: Who said that? Gary Cooper? James Stewart? Henry Fonda? Eh?

　　薩爾瓦多：這些是誰(shuí)說(shuō)的?加里·庫(kù)帕?詹姆士·斯圖爾特?亨利·福達(dá)?嗯?

　　Alfredo: No, Toto. Nobody said it. This time it's all me. Life isn't like in the movies. Life… is much harder

　　阿爾夫萊多：不是，多多，沒(méi)有人說(shuō)過(guò)。這次是我自己說(shuō)的。生活并不像電影，生活……更艱難。

　　If you don't walk out, you will think that this is the whole world.

　　如果你不出去走走，你就會(huì)以為這就是全世界。

　　Salvatore:Just that i've always been afraid to come back.And now,after all these years ,I thought I was stronger… that I'd forgottena lot of things. But in fact…I find I'm right backwhere I was…as if I'd never been away.Yet,when I look around ,I don't recognize anyone. And you,Mama…I deserted you.Ran out on you like a banditwithout any explanation.

　　薩爾瓦多：有件事，我一直想說(shuō)其實(shí)我很害怕回來(lái)。這么多年了，我應(yīng)該更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，更放得開(kāi)，但事實(shí)上，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我只是回到了原點(diǎn)仿佛沒(méi)有離開(kāi)過(guò)。然而，當(dāng)我環(huán)顧四周，我不認(rèn)識(shí)任何人。而你，媽媽我離棄了你。我什么都沒(méi)解釋就跑了

　　His Mama:I never asked for any.You don't have to explain to me.I always thought it was goodwhat you did.Why harp on it?You were right to leave. You did what you wanted to do.When I call you,a different woman always answers.But I never heard in any of their voices… that they really loved you. I would've known. All the same ,I'd have liked to see you settled… Loving someone. But your life is there. Here there are only ghosts. Let go,Toto.

　　你不用向我解釋，我也不需要你的解釋。我一直相信你是對(duì)的，你何必耿耿于懷呢?你走是對(duì)的，你達(dá)成了心愿。當(dāng)我打電話給你，總是不同的女人來(lái)接，但我從來(lái)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到其他任何聲音她們真的愛(ài)你，我都知道，有時(shí)真想看到你安定下來(lái)，有心愛(ài)的人，但是你是屬于羅馬，這里太陰沉了。忘了她吧，多多。
