美国往事经典台词摘记

My beloved is whie and ruddy,

我的爱人是如此英俊，

His skin is as the most fine gold,

他的皮肤像黄金，

his cheeks are as a bed of spices,

他的双颊像香草台，

Even though he hasn't washed since last summer.

虽然他已经好几个月没洗过脸。

His eyes are as the eyes of doves,

他的眼如鸽子般明亮，

His body is as bright ivory,

他的身躯如同雕刻的象牙，

His legs are as pillars of marble,

他的双腿像大理石柱般坚实，

So dirty they stand by themselves.

虽然包裹它们的裤子脏得要死。

He is all together loveable.

总而言之他是那样可爱，

But he'll always be a two bit punk,

可惜他永远是一个一无所有的小阿飞，

So he'll never my beloved,

所以他永远不会是我的爱人，

What a shame!

真可惜。

——《圣经·雅歌》

David "Noodles" Aaronson: It's true I have killed people, Mr. Bailey. Sometimes to defend myself, sometimes for money. And many people used to come to us. Business partners, rivals, lovers. Some of the jobs we took, and some we didn't. Yours is one we would never touch, Mr Bailey.

Max: Is this your idea of revenge?

David "Noodles" Aaronson: No. It's just the way I see things.

Life is stranger than shit, that's all. it's a pisser. no big story.

There's more onboard tonight than just booze.it's 10 years of our lives. ten years that were really worth living.

Deborah: Age can wither me, Noodles. We're both getting old. All that we have left now are our memories. If you go to that party on Saturday night, you won't have those anymore. Tear up that invitation.

Fat Moe: What have you been doing all this time? David "Noodles" Aaronson: Going to bed early

David "Noodles" Aaronson: Why was that a surprise? You can always pick the winners at the starting gate - the winners and the losers. Who woulda put a penny on me?

Deborah Gelly: I read books, I want to learn everything, I want to know everything. Doesn't it make sense to have plans?

Better off than being dead.

When I get tired of the world,I will think of you.Thinking on you in a place to live in the world,exist,I am willing to bear all. You are very important to me.

当我对世事厌倦的时候，我就会想到你。想到你在世界的某个地方生活着、存在着，我就愿意忍受一切。你的存在对我很重要。
