电影《朗德海花园场景》(Roundhay Garden Scene)拍摄于1888年,也是目前获得广泛公认的“世界上第一部电影”↓
该片全长仅有三秒钟的光景,却惊鸿一瞥地展示了19世纪末期人们的生活;
而彼时片中的四位演员,也早已随着时光飞逝而老去、消亡。
但,这又何尝不是我们每个人的生命之旅呢?
在这段或长或短的旅途中,多少人只是“来去匆匆”的过客;
又有多少难以入眠的夜晚折磨着、警醒着我们,好让我们记得往昔的过错与错过。
时无诳语,也如洪流般毫不留情地裹挟着贪恋凡尘的一双双眼睛。
那么,如果有这样一个神奇的“人生遥控器”,可以让人开启自我人生的“上帝视角”并随意进行编辑,你会使用吗?
为什么不呢?
有了这样一台“人生遥控器”,所有的烦恼与忧愁皆可如“快进”般一闪而过;
同样地,只需按下“循环播放”,快乐的日子就会回环往复。
物品丢失了,一个“快退”键就能轻松找回;
诸事悬而未决,只要调回“主菜单”,即可迅速获取导览。
但,一切果真能如此顺遂人心吗?
诚然,这是无解的两难。
身居高位者,也或许感叹“高处不胜寒”;
爱人常伴者,禁不住认同“距离产生美”。
而一味地自我放纵、安逸享乐,所得到的往往却是“亚健康外在”与“玻璃心内在”;
曲终人散,一切却是否能重头再来?
我明白的,人生太过短暂了;所以,找一些捷径也不算什么怪癖吧?
Life is so poignantly ephemeral, I know, but it's no other than my little idiosyncrasy to find shortcuts.
那是自然。
Why not?
尘世纷纷扰扰,我们每个人也早已对一切都苛求不已。
Living in hustle and bustle, we ourselves have long been finicky for almost anything.
然而,挚友亲朋绝非什么转瞬即逝之物,而如果不融入进他们的生活,我们终将与他们的快乐无缘。
Families and intimates, however, are constantly far from any ephemera, whose very happiness is gradually nibbled by time without us partaking in it.
遗憾始终占据着我行将就木的身体;毕竟,我只为我自己“挣得”了不怎么光彩的骂名。
But repentance still occupies my heart about to weather, considering the invidious position I've ingloriously earned myself.
可我也绝不是什么虚构的人物,所以,你也大可不必觉得一切没有意义。
And I'm no a fictitious character with a capital C, for fear of your sense of futility coming from nowhere.
时光荏苒,但我着实不想在悔恨中度过余生。
Tick-tock goes the clock, but I truly don't want to repent any more.
所以,我丢弃了那所谓的“人生遥控器”;那可不?生命绝非什么光影夺目的杂耍表演,而是“没有如果”的真人秀。
Erog, I've discarded that so-called "remote control of life", only because life itself is not so much grotesque vaudeville as a live action show without any reversing point.
而这次,正如一切应有的样子那般,家庭定会优先。
And this time, family comes first, like what it was supposed to be.
