This is us第二季于去年9月26日正式回归,荧幕前面,多少人翘首以盼,终于再见。还是那些熟悉的演员,还是那些温暖的亲情展现,还是让人心甘情愿一饮而尽的鸡汤文。生活,不就如此么?简单,平淡,而有韵味。
现在,已经到了第12集,还有6集,不过,喜欢的台词已经记录了一大堆。那么,我们就接着去年的约定,一起来喝下这一大碗深夜鸡汤吧。
回忆那么多,于你于我,不过两种:愿意记住的,和想要忘却的。
In my experience, Kevin, there’s no such a thing as “ A long time ago”. There’s only memories that mean something and memories that don’t.
对一个母亲而言,世上最美的经历,就是看着你慢慢长大。
Everything changes all the time. And Kate, when you’re a mom, you get a front row seat to the best show in town: watching your kids grow up.
有时候,不喜欢,并不能成为你拒绝的理由。
——But, look, sometimes you got to give people some space, let them come to you. Just got to be patient.
——But i don’t like patience.
——Nobody likes patience.
不是所有的事情,都会如你所愿。
I’m just tired of waiting for things to feel right. Nothing has felt right in a long time. I thought that maybe i would just do it and it’ll feel right after. Which it doesn’t. At all.
哪儿有什么岁月静好,不过有人为你负重前行。
The happiest moments will also be a little sad.
生命是一场神奇的旅行,只是我们并不知道,这场旅行到底从何时开始,在何时结束。你或许会说,出生就意味着开始,死亡就意味着结束,可是,在出生之前,旅行明明早已开始;在死亡之后,旅行却仍在继续。所以,倒不如说,生命永恒,生生不息。
Hi there, sweet girl. I wanted to properly welcome you to the world. You are Randall and Beth beautiful. And that is special. You know, i’ve been here before. You think that you’re at the beginning of your journey, right? But you also began a long time ago. Do you know that? ‘Cause i was there, and somebody else was there, too. Somebody really good. And we lost a baby and we thought it was an ending, but it was also a beginning. And life has a middle, too, and middles can be the hardest because that’s when you can get really lost. But middles can be a beginning sometimes. And if you’re lucky, you can have it all.
And you are the luckiest, prettiest, sweetest baby ever named after a ceiling fan. I thought my journey had come to an end, but i don’t know, maybe we’re both at our next beginning.
【Randall的大女儿Tess出生时,Rebecca的温暖话语】
每个人的人生,都是一个故事。而我们每个人,都是这个故事的作者。我们书写着开始,书写着经过,也书写着结尾。有时候,会身不由己;但大部分时候,书写的笔都掌握在我们自己手中。
I’m here, Mr. Hill, because you said something yesterday, and it stuck with me. You said you were the most disappointed man in the world. And i’m here to tell you, i fear i am a close second. Because i’m the man who writes terrible stories day after day and i can’t change the endings. And that is a horrible disappointment.
So, I want to see if we can find you a different ending here. I’m gonna take a chance on you, get you out, get you help. I don’t expect you to be perfect. I know you’ll make mistakes, just like the rest of us. But i will ask one thing of you. I want you to look at my face. I want you to look at this too tired, too old, too fat face. Lock it in your brain. And if you ever start heading toward the ending i don’t want to write, i want you to picture this ugly old mug. Can you do that? Can you find me a different ending to your story?
每个女人,都值得拥有一场梦想中的婚礼。白色的婚纱,永恒的旋律,以及那句爱情里的箴言:我愿意。
Our courtship has been unconventional, but if there is any part of you that wants the big wedding,even though it can be scary and emotional and cliche, i think you deserve that. So, if any of that sounds good to you, then i think that that’s what we should do.
And i know, listen, i know that everyone that you want to be there can’t be there. But i think that that’s what he would want. In fact, i know it is because i asked him. Will you, please, marry me?
【Toby对Kate的浪漫表白】
有时候,有些事,是痛苦,但同时,也是幸福。
Certain things are harder for us. Family portraits, for instance, are not our strong suit.
【在领养Randall后,全家福变成了一件难事,因为三个小孩的表情很难控制】
你的生命中,是否也有一位这样的“榜样”?给你温暖,给你力量。
He caught some tough breaks, suffered some losses. And that’s when he really showed himself to be a star. He fought through the adversity and the heartache. And he found success on another path. He is a living, breathing example of outer and inner strength.
【大学庆典上,学校领导对于Kevin的评价】
彩虹绚烂,但却在暴雨之后。同样,那些“榜样”背后,也有不为人知的苦楚。
He [Kevin] tries so hard to be strong, and he needs painkillers to get through it. And even when he tries to tell people how pathetic he is. They just, they don’t hear it. They just cheer.
感觉过不去的时候,我们所能做的,大概就是努力不让一切变得更糟吧。
The hardest part, Karl, about seeing someone you love in pain is not being able to do anything about it, except try not to make it worse.
有时候,你觉得自己痛不欲生,认为没人能感同身受。可是,在那些爱你的人的心中,你的痛,早已翻了数倍。
When i woke up this morning, i forgot for a split second. I was just looking at you and thinking, “wow, she’s having our baby.” And then i blinked, and i remembered. And i slid out of bed as quietly as possible because i thought that if there was a chance that maybe you were dreaming and forgetting, too. Well, I didn’t want to wake you from that.
Now, i will be your entire support system through all of this. I will hold your head in my lap and i will stroke your hair and i will tell you that everything is gonna be okay until the cows come home.
But what i will not do, what is not fair for you to do is to tell me that i wasn’t a part of this. Now, it didn’t happen to my body. I get that. I have no idea what that must be like for you. And i’m trying to be strong here ‘cause that’s the gig, but it happened to me, too. And it hurt.
【Kate流产之后,心情不佳,觉得Toby并未经历那种痛苦,之后Toby的话】
突然想到了一些刚刚好对应的中文,所以就顺势写了一些。故事仍在继续,鸡汤也将随之而至。生活,不过一杯白开水,个中滋味,需要你我慢慢体会。
未完待续,来日再见……
