第9章 Titanic (1)

泰坦尼克号

Outwardly,I was everything a well-brought up girl should be. Inside, I was screaming。

从外表看,我是个教养良好的小姐,但在骨子里,我却很叛逆。

All life is a game of luck.

生活本来就全靠运气。

Selected Scene 1:

Jack closes the door behind her. Rose and Jack are alone in the room.

Rose:Jack,this is impossible. I can’t see you.

Jack:I need to talk to you!

Rose:No,Jack,no! Jack,I’m engaged. I’m marrying Cal. I love Cal.

Jack:Rose,you’re no picnic. All right,you’re a spoiled little brat even,but under that you’re the most amazingly wonderful girl—I’ve ever known and—

Rose:Jack,I—

Jack:No,no. Let me try to get this out. You,you’re amazing. I’m not an idiot. I know how the world works. I’ve got ten bucks in my pocket. I have nothing to offer you,and I know that. I understand. But I’m too involved now. You jump,I jump,remember?I can’t turn away without knowing that you’ll be alright. That’s all that I want.

Rose:Well,I’m fine. I’ll be fine. Really.

Jack:Really?I don’t think so. They’ve got you trapped,Rose,and you’re going to die if you don’t break free. Maybe not right away,because you’re strong. But sooner or later that fire that I love about you,Rose,that fire is going to burn out.

Rose:It’s not up to you to save me,Jack.

Jack:You’re right. Only you can do that.

Rose:I’m going back. Leave me alone.

Rose goes out and joins her mother and other aristocratic ladies in the first class tearoom. As Ruth is discussing Rose’s upcoming marriage to Cal,Rose looks over and sees a little girl sitting at a table nearby. The girl’s mother begins correcting her posture,the position of her hands,her manners. Rose sees what a stifling life she is leading. She leaves and goes out onto the deck.

Rose:Hello,Jack. I changed my mind. They said you might be up here.

Jack:Xu. Give me your hand. Now close your eyes,go on! Now step up. Now hold on to the railing. keep your eyes closed. Don’t peak.

Rose:I’m not.

Jack:Step up onto the railing. Hold on,hold on,keep your eyes closed. Do you trust me !

Rose:I trust you.

Jack:All right,open your eyes.

Rose:I’m flying. Jack.

Jack guides Rose to the front of the ship,where he has her stand on the bow of the ship with her hands outstretched. She feels like she is flying. Jack puts his arms around her and they kiss for the first time.

The music plays:

Every night in my dreams,

I see you,I feel you.

That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance and spaces between us,You have come to show you go on.

Near,far,wherever you are,

I believe that the heart does go on.

Once more,you open the door,

And you’re here in my heart,

And my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime

And never let go till we’re gone.

Love was when I loved you,

One true time I hold to.

In my life we’ll always go on.

Selected Scene 2:

Jack and Rose drift in the black water. Jack is clinging to the piece of wood that Rose is lying on.

Rose:It’s getting quiet.

Jack:It’s going to take ’em a couple of minutes to get the boats organized... I don’t know about you,but I intend to write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all this.

Rose:I love you,Jack.
