电影《杯酒人生》经典对白

Maya: You Know,Can I ask you a personal question?

我能问你个人问题吗？

Miles: Sure.

当然。

Maya: Why are you so into Pinot Noir. I mean,itrsquo;s like a thing with you.

为什么你这么着迷？pinot Noir。就像你的爱好一样。

Miles: I don39;t know,Um,it39;s a hard grape to grow,as you know,right? It39;s thin-skinned,temperamental,ripens early,you know. It39;s not a survivor like Cabernet,which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it39;s neglected. No,Pinot Noir needs constant care and attention. In fact,it can grow only in these really specific tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it,really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot Noir39;s potential can then coax it into its full expression. And then,I mean,oh,it39;s flavors. They39;re just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and ancient on the planet. No,I mean you know,cabernets can be powerful and exalting too,but they seem prosaic to me,by comparison. What about you?

我不知道。这是一种很难种植的葡萄。你知道吗？它的皮肤很薄，非常敏感，早熟。cabernet黑葡萄也很容易在任何地方生长，即使被忽视了。Pinot noir 需要不断的照顾和关注。它只生长在世界上隐藏的特殊角落，只有园丁最大的耐心和培养才能让它成长。只有愿意花时间去理解Pinot Noir 人们可以理解它的潜力，感受它所有的表情。我的意思是味道。它是世界上最长的味道(haunting)，最夺目(brilliant)，最精致(subtle)，最古老(ancient)我说红酒也可以很有活力，但想比较一下，cabernet俗气。你呢？

Maya: what about me?

Miles: I don39;t know,why are you into wine?

我不知道你为什么对葡萄酒如此感兴趣。

Maya: oh,I39;m I think I ,I originally got into wine through my ex-husband,you know. He had this big,you know,sort of show-off cellar,you know. But then I discovered I had a really sharp palate. And the more I drank,the more I liked what it made me think about.

起初，我从前夫那里开始对葡萄酒感兴趣。他有一个特别大的酒窖。但我的味道很敏锐。我喝得越多，就越喜欢酒能激发我思想的东西。

Miles: like what?

比如什么呢?

Maya: Like what a fraud he was. No,I like to think about the life of wine,you know. How itrsquo;s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year of grapes were growing. How the sun was shining,if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it is an old wine,how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve,like if I opened a bottle of wine today,it would taste different than if I opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive,and it is constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is until it peaks,like you rsquo; and then it begins its steady,inevitable declinehellip;

例如，我想知道我的前夫是多少伪君子。我总是想到葡萄酒的生活。认为这是一件有生命的事情。活着，活着。我总是想到葡萄生长的那一年发生了什么，太阳是如何散落在地球上的，如果下雨，它会是什么样子。人们如何照顾这些葡萄并采摘它们。如果是一瓶陈酒，有多少照顾过这些葡萄的人已经死了。我总是想知道葡萄酒是如何生长和改变的，就像如果我今天打开一瓶葡萄酒一样，它的味道必须不同于其他任何一天。因为葡萄酒是活的，它正在不断变化，变得更加复杂。直到它达到顶峰，然后开始它的稳定和衰老过程，就像你说的61年一样。

佩恩在谈到部电影人物的认知时，佩恩说："迈尔斯和杰克都是生活在过去的人。杰克的事业失败了，迈尔斯不仅婚姻失败，而且在写作生涯中也无能为力。他们似乎在世界的进步中被遗忘了，但突然，他们面临着继续生活的期望。对我来说，这既有趣又严肃。"
