Mi Mancherai （我想念你）- Josh Groban

我是先听的 Josh Groban 的 Mi Mancherai，后来才看的意大利电影 Il Postino (The Postman)。这首歌和电影没什么关系，只是用了电影的主题音乐，两者都给我留下了深刻的印象。电影虽然是虚构，但是诗人 Neruda 却是真实的。他和邮差的友谊，对邮差的文学艺术和罗曼史的帮助，都非常的温馨。电影的结局让我很意外，伤感所以感动。回来再听 Mi Mancherai，就更加体会到那份深情。

但是，实际情况是，我直到今天才知道这首歌是讲什么的，谁叫我不懂意大利语呢。今天用了几个翻译器（Google, Bing, Yahoo），发现最好的还就是Google，不但能将意大利语翻译成英语，还可以翻译成简体中文（虽然有的地方很可笑，破坏了哀伤的气氛，所以下面的中译我根据英译做了适当改动）。Bing的英译还行，但是不能中译。Yahoo的英译实在太可笑了，所以已经被我打进冷宫了，呵呵。



Mi Mancherai

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Mi mancherà la tua serenità
Le tue parole come canzoni al vento
E l'amore che ora porti via

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Ora per sempre non so come vivere
E l'allegria, amica mia, va via con te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai, perchè vai via
Perchè l'amore in te si è spento
Perchè, perchè...
Non cambierà niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai, perchè vai via
Perchè l'amore in te si è spento
Perchè, perchè...
Non cambierà niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherà l'immensità
Dei nostri giorni e notti insieme noi
I tuoi sorrisi quando si fa buio
La tua ingenuità da bambina, tu...

Mi mancherai amore mio
Mi guardo e trovo un vuoto dentro me
E l'allegria, amica mia, va via con te

English Translation

I Miss You

I'll miss you if you go
I will miss your serenity
Your words like songs in the wind
And love that now take away

I'll miss you if you go
Now I do not know how to live forever
And joy, my friend, goes away with you

I miss you I miss you, why go away
Why the love in you is dead
Because ...
I know nothing will change
And inside I feel you

I miss you I miss you, why go away
Why the love in you is dead
Because ...
I know nothing will change
And inside I feel you

I'll miss the immensity
Of our days and nights with us
Your smiles when it is dark
Your naivete as a child, you ...

I miss you my love
I look and I find emptiness inside of me
And joy, my friend, goes away with you

中文翻译

我想念你

我会想念你，如果你离去
我会想念你的宁静
你的话，就像风中的歌
还有被带走的爱

我会想念你，如果你离去
现在我不知道怎样活下去
欢乐，我的朋友，与你一同离开

我想念你，我想念你，为什么离开
为什么你的爱会死去
因为...
我知道什么都不会改变
我在心里感觉到你

我想念你，我想念你，为什么离开
为什么你的爱会死去
因为...
我知道什么都不会改变
我在心里感觉到你

我会想念，无边无际的
我们的日与夜
黑暗中你的微笑
你孩子般的天真，你...

我想念你，我的爱
我看见，我发现我内心的空虚
欢乐，我的朋友，与你一同离开

Ultimate Devotion

"I need to collect some samples!"

This was the dying words of a mortally wounded scientist when she saw the abundant biofluorescent species while being carried into the jungle for a desperate attempt to save her life. That was the only moment the whole audience laughed out loud when I saw the movie Avatar. I was annoyed by the obvious cliche and stereotyping which in effect ridiculed the dedication of the devoted scientist. But then again, just like the plot of the whole story, are we really expecting something more ingenious in the script?

Finally I realized why I seldom go to movies. The reason: I do not get my money's worth of entertainment, because I inevitably fall asleep in a movie theater no matter what is showing! Even the imaginative, visually stunning, action-packed 3D Avatar wouldn't keep me awake for the whole time. I fell asleep right after Jake conquered the dragon-like creature (how come I felt that the forced bonding between him and the creature was as distasteful as a rape?) and flew side by side with Neytiri. When I finally regained consciousness, they were already sleeping together and now it was him who couldn't wake up while her jungle was being destroyed by human beings. Can somebody tell me how much I have missed?

Now I remember that I also fell asleep during the only other 2 movies I saw in 2009 in a movie theater: Up in 3D, and Harry Potter. That makes 3 out of 3. What's wrong with me? Maybe I should just watch DVDs, because I can always go back and watch it again.

The Painted Veil

The second film I saw on its opening day really impressed me. An unusual western love-after-marriage story set against the beautiful scenic backdrop of Southern China in the 1920s, 'The Painted Veil' emphasizes the emotional development of the main characters. In the end I saw that there was no lack of love between Walter and Kitty; what was lacking in the beginning was the discovery of it.

Unlike any other movies I went to, this time I waited and watched the end credit, and was glad to see China Loafer listed as a Cable Runner. His 'Crying Babies' is a very interesting blog entry.

By the way, the soundtrack features Lang Lang as the solo pianist. But I don't think it showcases his skills.

Cleavages

SPB and JL on the hit TV series CSI:

CSI : Las Vegas = CSI : Guts

CSI : Miami = CSI : Cleavage



So in this vein, Director Zhang Yimou's new movie "Curse of the Golden Flower" (《满城尽带黄金甲》) can be summarized as

"Curse of the Golden Cleavages".

《疯狂的石头》

好看！名不虚传！当然，除了前面一半我猜得出的情节，后面一波三折之后的四折五折就很让我称奇了。尤其是结局，每个人都各得其所，很让我满意。

要是国产电影都这么拍就有得救了。谁还要看什么大片，无非是把《哈姆雷特》《雷雨》之类搬到华丽绚烂的古代中国，除此之外，还有什么新意？哼，记得毛主席教导过我们，文艺是为人民服务的。这帮大导们，都是怎么学的？

近期两部国产大片

这个周末一口气看了《如果 爱》和《无极》。前一阵子关于这两部片子的口水战很多，我就两部都看，以示公允。你可还真别说，我还真同意吴君如的说法：《无极》不好看。也不是说《如果 爱》有多好，比较而已，我更喜欢一些。

《如果 爱》作为第一部中国的歌舞片，唱的倒是不算多。有几首歌旋律简单，朗朗上口。三个主角里，当然是张学友唱的最有实力。可三个主角没一个好的，也许这反映了 人性的复杂。故事 的发展还有些 地方出乎意料，但是剧本就逃不出老套的三角恋。请一个韩国演员来演一个讲故事的旁观者的配角，我觉得实在没这个必要。

《如果 爱》好在还有娱乐的效用。 《无极》呢，就让我看不太下去了。起了一个顾弄玄虚的名字，讲一些莫名其妙的话。我就看不出“无极生太极，太极生两仪，两仪生四象，四象生八卦，八卦生六 十四卦，六十四卦生宇宙万象”和这片子有什么关系。这阳春白雪的东西搁我这下里巴人这儿就体会不出它的妙处。这片子起了个英文名叫《The Promise》（估计《无极》不太好翻译），好歹让我知道这是此片亦可理解为“承诺”（哪里有什么“无极生宇宙”的意思？）。其实呢就是一小女孩许了一 个自己都不太明白的承诺，长大后必须为此而受苦的故事。说白了，陈大导花了两亿人民币拍了一个女人是祸水的电影。演员的表演夸张造作，尤其不喜欢大将军， 看见个漂亮女人就变得象个色狼，丝毫没有英雄气概。不明白为什么要请日本和韩国的演员来演，中文都说不顺溜，难道就是为了海外市场多卖两个国家？女演员拍 出来都显得挺老挺丑。动画效果巨差。故事情节节奏太慢，两小时的时间，后来我都是边做SuDoKu边看。我真佩服了制片人，就凭这剧本恁是筹到了这么多 钱！陈导的水平让我担忧啊！

还是让我期待《千里走单骑》吧。我以前可能是错怪了张艺谋。
