     引用

    海角七号-七封情书 (Seven love letters from Cape No. 7)
      (1)第一封信
      1945年12月25日。
      友子
      请原谅我这个懦弱的男人
      从来不敢承认我们两人的相爱
      我甚至已经忘记
      我是如何迷上那个不照规定理发
      而惹得我大发雷霆的女孩了
      友子
      你固执不讲理、爱玩爱流行
      我却如此受不住的迷恋你
      只是好不容易你毕业了
      我们却战败了
      我是战败国的子民
      贵族的骄傲瞬间堕落为犯人的枷
      我只是个穷教师
      为何要背负一个民族的罪
      时代的宿命是时代的罪过
      我只是个穷教师
      我爱你,却必须放弃你 
    Letter 1    

    Tomoko,

    Please forgive my cowardice,

    I dare not admit we were in love,

    I even forget how I become obsessed with that rebellious girl who upset me all the time…

     

    Tomoko,

    You were stubborn and vain,

    But I couldn’t help being crazy for you.

    You graduated from the school when we lost the war,

    We were losers,

    Our aristocratism is no more…

     

    I’m nothing but a poor teacher,

    Why should I be the scapegoat?

    I have nothing to do with the war,

    I’m but a poor teacher.

    I love you, but I have to leave you.


         (2)第二封信
      第三天。
      该怎麼克制自己不去想你
      你是南方艳阳下成长的学生
      我是从飘雪的北方渡洋过海的老师
      我们是这麼的不同
      为何却会如此的相爱
      我怀念艳阳…我怀念热风…
      我犹有记忆你被红蚁惹毛的样子
      我知道我不该嘲笑你
      但你踩著红蚁的样子真美
      像踩著一种奇幻的舞步
      愤怒、强烈又带著轻挑的嬉笑…
      友子,我就是那时爱上你的…
     

    Letter 2

    The 3rd day,

    How could I stop myself from thinking about you?

    You are a student from the sunny South, while I am a teacher from the snowy North.

    We are so different.

    But why do we love each other so much?

    I miss the sunshine and the warm winds.

     

    I remember you were upset by the ants,

    I know I shouldn’t laugh at you,

    But the way you stamped on the ants…

    It fascinated me!

    It was as if you were dancing with anger and airing joyfulness.

    Tomoko,

    That was when I fell into love with you…

     
     (3)第三封信
      多希望这时有暴风
      把我淹没在这台湾与日本间的海域
      这样我就不必为了我的懦弱负责
      友子
      才几天的航行
      海风所带来的哭声已让我苍老许多
      我不愿离开甲板,也不愿睡觉
      我心里已经做好盘算
      一旦让我著陆
      我将一辈子不愿再看见大海
      海风啊,为何总是带来哭声呢?
      爱人哭、嫁人哭、生孩子哭
      想著你未来可能的幸福我总是会哭
      只是我的泪水
      总是在涌出前就被海风吹乾
      涌不出泪水的哭泣,让我更苍老了
      可恶的风
      可恶的月光
      可恶的海
      十二月的海总是带著愤怒
      我承受著耻辱和悔恨的臭味
      陪同不安静地晃荡
      不明白我到底是归乡
      还是离乡!
     

    Letter 3

    How I wish a storm would come now,

    and drown me in the ocean between Taiwan and Japan.

    Then I won’t have to be responsible for my cowardice.

    Tomoko,

    I’ve been sailing for several days,

    The weeps brought by the sea wind age me already.

    I don’t want to leave the deck or go to bed,

    I’ve made up my mind.

    Once I land, I’ll no longer see the ocean.

    Sea wind, why do you always bring the weeps?

    They weep for being in love, for marring someone or giving birth,

    I weep when I think of you marrying someone else.

    But the sea wind dries my tears before they drop…

    I can’t cry with tears, which ages me even more.

    Curse the wind!

    Curse the moonlight!

    Curse the sea!

     

    The December sea is filled with anger,

    I tolerate the shame and regrets accompanied by uneasiness,

    Not sure I’m going home,

    or leaving home...

     
        (4) 第四封信
      傍晚,已经进入了日本海
      白天我头痛欲裂
      可恨的浓雾
      阻挡了我一整个白天的视线
      而现在的星光真美
      记得你才是中学一年级小女生时
      就胆敢以天狗食月的农村传说
      来挑战我月蚀的天文理论吗?
      再说一件不怕你挑战的理论
      你知道我们现在所看到的星光
      是自几亿光年远的星球上
      所发射过来的吗?
      哇,几亿光年发射出来的光
      我们现在才看到
      几亿光年的台湾岛和日本岛
      又是什麼样子呢?
      山还是山,海还是海
      却不见了人
      我想再多看几眼星空
      在这什麼都善变的人世间里
      我想看一下永恒
      遇见了要往台湾避冬的乌鱼群
      我把对你的相思寄放在其中的一只
      希望你的渔人父亲可以捕获
      友子,尽管他的气味辛酸
      你也一定要尝一口
      你会明白…
      我不是抛弃你,我是舍不得你
      我在众人熟睡的甲板上反覆低喃
      我不是抛弃你,我是舍不得你
     

    Letter 4

    Evening, we are on the sea of Japan,

    My head ached badly today.

    I hate this thick fog,

    as it blocked my sight during the day.

    But the stars are beautiful.

    Remember when you were in 7th grade,

    you challenged my lunar eclipse theory with the myth of Moon being eaten?

    I’ll tell you another scientific truth.

    Do you know the stars we are seeing now are the lights reflected from billions of light-years away?

    Wow, billions of light-years away!

    And we haven’t seen them until now.

    In billions of light-years, what will Taiwan and Japan become of?

    Mountains and seas will be still there,

    but the people will be gone…

    I wanna take another glimpse at the sky,

    in this changeable world,

    I want to see what eternity is…

     

    I met a group of grey mullet heading to Taiwan for the winter.

    I leave my love to you to one of them.

    May your fisherman father catch it!

    Tomoko,

    Though it tastes bad, you have to try it anyway.

    You’ll understand that I didn’t mean to leave you.

    I’m moaning on the deck at night…

    that I didn’t mean to leave you…

     

        (5) 第五封信
      天亮了,但又有何关系
      反正日光总是带来浓雾
      黎明前的一段恍惚
      我见到了日后的你韶华已逝
      日后的我发秃眼垂
      晨雾如飘雪,覆盖了我额上的皱纹
      骄阳如烈焰,焚枯了你秀发的乌黑
      你我心中最后一点余热完全凋零
      友子…
      请原谅我这身无用的躯体。
     

    Letter 5

    A new day comes, but who cares?

    Sunlight only brings thick mist anyway.

    I saw before dawn the aged you from the future,

    and the aged me from the future.

    The morning mist covers my wrinkles on the forehead,

    the sun scorches your black hair.

    I’ve lost you completely…

    Tomoko,

    please forgive the cowardly me…

     
         (6) 第六封信
      海上气温16度
      风速12节、水深 97米
      已经看见了几只海鸟
      预计明天入夜前我们即将登陆
      友子…
      我把我在台湾的相簿都留给你
      就寄放在你母亲那儿
      但我偷了其中一张
      是你在海边玩水的那张
      照片里的海没风也没雨
      照片里的你,笑得就像在天堂
      不管你的未来将属於谁
      谁都配不上你
      原本以为我能将美好回忆妥善打包
      到头来却发现我能携走的只有虚无
      我真的很想你!
      啊,彩虹!
      但愿这彩虹的两端
      足以跨过海洋,连结我和你
     

    Letter 6

    The temperature is 16 degrees in the sea,

    with a wind of 12 kilometers/hour in a depth of 97 meters.

    I’ve already seen some seabirds.

    It is expected that we will land tomorrow evening.

     

    Tomoko,

    I asked your mom to keep my album for you but I took one of them away.

    The photo is the one you played with the water in the sea.

    There was no wind, no rain and you smiled brightly as if you were in the paradise.

    No matter whom you will belong to in the future,

    no one is good enough for you.

    I thought I could take away all the good memories, but finally find that what I’ve taken away is in vain…

    I miss you so much!

    Oh, rainbow!

    May the rainbow is long enough to cross the sea to link you with me…

     
         (7) 第七封信
      友子,我已经平安著陆
      七天的航行
      我终於踩上我战后残破的土地
      可是我却开始思念海洋
      这海洋为何总是站在
      希望和灭绝的两个极端
      这是我的最后一封信
      待会我就会把信寄出去
      这容不下爱情的海洋
      至少还容得下相思吧!
      友子,我的相思你一定要收到
      这样你才会原谅我一点点
      我想我会把你放在我心里一辈子
      就算娶妻、生子
      在人生重要的转折点上
      一定会浮现…
      你提著笨重的行李逃家
      在遣返的人潮中,你孤单地站著
      你戴著那顶…
      存了好久的钱才买来的白色针织帽
      是为了让我能在人群中发现你吧!
      我看见了…我看见了…
      你安静不动地站著
      你像七月的烈日
      让我不敢再多看你一眼
      你站得如此安静
      我刻意冰凉的心,却又顿时燃起
      我伤心,又不敢让遗憾流露
      我心里嘀咕,嘴巴却一声不吭
      我知道,思念这庸俗的字眼
      将如阳光下的黑影
      我逃他追…我追他逃…
      一辈子
      我会假装你忘了我
      假装你将你我的过往
      像候鸟一般从记忆中迁徙
      假装你已走过寒冬迎接春天
      我会假装…
      一直到自以为一切都是真的!
      然后…
      祝你一生永远幸福!
     

    Letter 7

    Tomoko,

    I’ve landed already.

    I finally landed on the broken country after seven days sailing.

    However, I start to miss the sea…

    Why is the sea always the destinations of hope and death?

     

    This should be my last letter.

    Later I will post them.

    Though the sea can not tolerate my love, it should tolerate my missing!

     

    Tomoko,

    You should receive my missing so that you would forgive me bit by bit.

    I think I will keep you in my heart for a whole life, even if I get married or have children.

    The images will recall in the turning points of my life…

    You took heavy luggage and escaped away home,

    with a white knitting hat which you bought by the money you’ve saved long time,

    standing alone in the crowds to let me find you easily!

    I found you…I saw you…

    You were like the burning sun in July, makes me dare not to look you again.

    You were so quite and peaceful.

    My deliberately cold heart ignited again!

    I was sad but dared not to disclose my regrets.

    I whispered but dared not to say anything.

    I know, missing will be like the shadows in the sun,

    escape away when I am chasing.

     

    I will pretend that you’ve forgotten me for a whole life,

    pretend you’ve removed the memories of you and me, just like the migration of birds,

    pretend you are welcoming the spring after a chilly winter…

    I will pretend…until I think everything is true.

    And then, may you happy forever!

    December 17

    I wish to be fish (continue)

    Unfortunately the God is so mean, he only allows me to love you for seven seconds...

    Let's stay in the same place as I want us to love each other for a whole life, just in fish's way...

    Please never turn back, as I am afraid you might forget me at the next second.
    Please never swim away, as I am worried we will never meet again in the spacious sea.
    Please never ever hesitate, as we might miss each other at the moment.
    Please never... because I'd love to be together with you for a whole life...
     
    I do hope that I am fish. As I could see you at every second, I then would not need to miss you.
    I do hope that I am fish. I never need to hide my pain and distress as my tears will flow together with the water.
    ...
    I even don't recognize me any more. For loving you, it is not important any more. The important thing is that I am willing to be like this as I don't wanna lose you.
     
    Do I have the chance to decide?
    If so, I do hope, you are that group of water where I am in so that you can feel my grief and pain.
    If so, I do hope, we can live our lives in fish's way, from meeting to loving and being that for a whole life...
     
    可惜上帝那么吝啬,我只能爱你7秒...
    那就让我们停留在原地, 用鱼的方式, 爱一辈子...
     
    请不要回头, 因为我怕在你回头的下一刻, 你将把我忘记; 也请你不要游走, 因为我怕在你游走后, 我们再也不会相遇; 更请你不要犹豫, 因为我怕在你犹豫的那一瞬, 我们将彼此错过, 因为我想与你相爱一辈子.
     
    我多希望, 我是一只鱼, 不需要思念, 因为可以每时每刻都看到你; 也不需要掩饰, 在宽广的海洋里我的泪水与海水交汇...
    为了爱你, 我变成了谁, 那已经不重要了, 重要的是我愿意这样下去, 因为我不愿没有你.
     
    我可以选择吗?
    如果可以, 我多希望, 你是拥抱我的那团水, 这样, 你可以感觉到我的心痛...
    如果可以, 我多希望, 我们可以用鱼的方式, 从相识到相爱再到相守, 就这样, 一辈子...
     
     
    December 16

    The guy I'm looking for...

    • Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2 hear but 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!
    • Don’t ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
    • Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
    • Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
    • Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
    • Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
    • Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
    • Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
    • Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
    • Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, “…that’s her.”

    Never say Goodbye

    Never...
    For we will be together, facing with the nature calamity together
     
    For a person, the disaster is tremendous
    While, for 1,300,000,000 people, it appears smaller and smaller
    Let's hold together, heart by heart, hand in hand
    To rebuild our new warm home together!

    Do you know what the word FAMILY means?--from a friend

     
    I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
    "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

    He said, "Please excuse me too;
    I wasn't watching for you."

    We were very polite, this stranger and I.
    We went on our way and we said goodbye.

    But at home a different story is told,
    How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

    Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
    My son stood beside me very still.

    When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
    "Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

    He walked away, his little heart broken.
    I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

    While I lay awake in bed,
    God's still small voice came to me and said,

    "While dealing with a stranger,
    common courtesy you use,
    but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

    Go and look on the kitchen floor,
    You'll find some flowers there by the door.

    Those are the flowers he brought for you.
    He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

    He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
    you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

    By this time, I felt very small,
    And now my tears began to fall.

    I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
    "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

    "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
    He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

    I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
    I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

    I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
    I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
    He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
    I love you anyway."

    I said, "Son, I love you too,
    and I do like the flowers, especially the blue "

    FAMILY
    Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
    that we are working for could easily replace us in
    a matter of days.
    But the family we left behind will feel the loss
    for the rest of their lives.

    And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
    into work than into our own family,
    an unwise investment indeed,
    don't you think?
    So what is behind the story?

    Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
    FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
     
    This poem has touched me a lot and taught me lots of things. Family is a union that most of the people would like to have but unfortunatly many people fail to keep it sweet and warm. Please stop hurting your family members after reading it as they are only the people who care you in the world.
     
    I cant help to think about the wrong things I did to my parents before. As sometimes I was bad-tempered, I have never stopped to hurt them on my growing way. Lucky me that they are generous to me. I'm glad I have such nice parents and I'm also glad that I have the chance to know it's wrong to treat my family members like that.
     
    Simple story but tells me a marvellous life... Thank you my dear friend! I think I will not make the same mistake now when I'm a child, and will not make the same mistake too in the future when I become a mom!

    爱的四个阶段(four steps of love)

        有位心理学家曾写道,一个成熟称得上真爱的恋情必须经过四个阶段,那就是:一,共存(codependent)二,反依赖(counter dependent)三,独立(independent),四,共生(interdependent)阶段之间转换所需的时间不一定,因人而易。

    Once a psychologist said that a mature love must experience four steps. there are codependent, counter dependent, independent and interdependent. Different people take different time to experience them.

       第一个阶段:共存。这是热恋时期,情人不论何时何地总希望能腻在一起。第二个阶段:反依赖。等到情感稳定后,至少会有一方想要有多一点自己的时间作自己想做的事,这时另一方就会感到被冷落。第三个阶段:独立。这是第二个阶段的延续,要求更多独立自主的时间。第四个阶段:共生。这时新的相处之道已经成形,你(妳)的他(她)已经成为你(妳)最亲的人。你们在一起相互扶持、一起开创属于你们自己的人生。你们在一起不会互相牵绊,而会互相成长。但是,大部分的人都通不过第二或第三阶段,而选择分手一途,这是非常可惜的。很多事只要好好沟通都会没事的,不要耍个性,不要想太多要互相信任,这样第二、三阶段的时间就会缩短。

    The first step is codependent. Lovers would like to be together at any time any place.

    The second step is counter dependent. This is a stable step. one of them would like to do what he'd like to do sometimes and the other would feel being treated indifferently.

    The third step is independent. both of the lovers would like to have their own time in this step.

    The fourth one is interdependent. lovers think each other is their most trusty person. you support each other and create a life belongs to you and him/her.

    However, most of them depart on the way to the fourth step. it's really sad but if lovers can tolerate and believe in each other, they would get the love fruit.

        和所爱的人相遇相恋是非常不容易的,不要轻言放弃。两人相聚是因为有缘,相知是因为有心,真的得好好珍惜这福份莫说分手不是无由,希望看到上述的四个阶段,真能给大家一些启示与领悟并惜缘。

    I hope you can get something meaningful from the article. it's uneasy for you to meet your lover and fall in love with him/her.  therefore, you should measure your love as a gift from the god.

        我们会逐渐变成我们所爱的人。妳和他本来没有相同之处,外表不相像,性格也是南辕北辙,一旦爱上了,年深日久,妳会惊讶妳的眼睛有点像他的眼睛,他的微笑也有点像妳的微笑。你们走路的步伐也有点相似,说话的语气也愈来愈相像。他的脖子上有一颗痣,一天,妳发现自己脖子上也多了一颗痣,原来我们会变成我们所爱的人。妳本来喜欢脚踏实地的人,而他一向比较轻佻,但你们爱上了,他竟会不知不觉变成一个老实人,这个改变,连他自己也不曾察觉。他本来喜欢活泼的女孩子,却爱上了拘谨的妳,这些日子,妳竟愈来愈活泼,妳差点认不出自己。我们会逐渐变成对方理想中的人,这种改变,绝对不是刻意的。两个人愈爱得长久,气质也愈来愈相近,妳曾经以为他不是妳梦寐以求的那种类型,然而,有一天,妳惊讶地发现,他已经变成妳喜欢的那种类型,妳不必再到处寻觅,他就是妳要找的人。

    We'll become similar to the one we love, not only the appearance but internal characters. We might have no commons before and our characters are totally different. However, after staying together for a period, I may find your eyes are similar to mine and you may find my smiles are similar to yours, as well as my walking styles and your speaking tone.

    We'll become the one each other loves as well. You were actually a guy has your feet on the ground and I were a skittish girl. But I changed myself to be the same as you without notice. I might like a lively guy but actually I fell in love with you- a bit strict guy. And you become quite lively even you dont know. Finally, we become the one each other loves.

          深深爱着一个人的时候,妳原来真的会一点一点的失去自己,为甚么妳还会觉得快乐呢?大概是因为妳在失去的当儿,也是赚了,妳把他的气质和他的微笑都赚回来..幸福很单纯...所以要很单纯的人才容易获得.....

    I've lost myself bit by bit after falling in love with you day after day but I still feel happy. Why? For I've gained what you have at the same time. Happiness is simple and only the person with pure mind to love can get what he'd like to have...
