在我看過為數(shù)不多的戲劇中,Our town是我最喜歡的戲劇,那樣簡(jiǎn)單的劇情,可是卻能讓人開始珍惜每一天,學(xué)著不去忽視。
第三幕,當(dāng)Emily回到過去時(shí),回到她20歲生日時(shí),她不想留在那,抽泣著說:“I can't. I can't go on. It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another. ?
?I didn't realize. ?So all that was going on and we never noticed. ?Take me back -up the hill-to my grave. But first: Wait !One more look. ?
Good-by,Good-by,world Good-by,Grover'Corners…Mama and Papa. ?Good-by to clocks ticking…and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new-ironed dresses and hot baths …and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, ?you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you.
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?–every,every minute?"
