本文是经典爱情电影听力系列The Lake House(湖边小屋,又叫“触不到的恋人”)的第十二段对白。

  Alex的弟弟Henry来到湖边小屋,兄弟俩终于有机会坐在一起回忆。在Alex的记忆中,这个房子充满了母亲对他们父亲和他们兄弟两人的爱。可是父亲辜负了这份爱。在Alex眼里,父亲建造的这个湖边小屋,只是一间房子,而不是家。

  说起Alex的工作,他却表示有别的计划。于是Henry认为Alex是不是交女朋友了,而Alex本身似乎也不确定他和Kate这种的情况算不算在谈恋爱……

Henry:Looks smaller. When did he complete it? 经典爱情电影对白:Lake

Alex:You weren´t born yet, and I was 8.

Henry:Le Corbusier meets Frank Lloyd Wright.

Alex:You know, Dad played cards with both of them. Sharing a joint.

Henry:Yeah, well. Can´t swim. There should be a stairway down to the water, a porch, a deck.

Alex:Here, you´re in a... in a box. A glass box with a view to everything that´s around you ... but you can´t touch it. No interconnection between you and what you´re looking at.

Henry:I don´t know, you know. He´s got this big maple growing... right in the middle of the house.

Alex:Containment. Containment and control. This house is about ownership, not connection. I mean, it´s beautiful. Seductive, even. But it´s incomplete. lt was all about him. Dad knew how to build a house, not a home. But you know...I think he wants us to do what he couldn´t. But admitting that...would mean admitting that he came up short in some way...that he could do more. And that tortures him.

Henry:Do you remember being here with Mom?

Alex:I remember she tried to make it work here...with us...with him.

Henry:Hey, what about Visionary Vanguard?

Alex:What about it?

Henry:Come on. You can´t convince me you´re gonna be happy building salt boxes for tourists. No body´s gonna admire you for that.

Alex:Admire me for that? 经典爱情电影对白:Lake

Henry:Yeah, Visionary Vanguard. That´s your idea.

Alex:I can´t. But you can keep the name.

Henry:No, come on. It´s gotta  be you and me.

Alex:Henry, I´m sorry, I can´t. I just...

Henry:What?

Alex:I´ve got other plans.

Henry:You have a girlfriend?

Alex:No...No.

Henry:What is that? You hesitated.

Alex:No, I didn´t hesitate. Come on, man. I don´t have any time for that.

Henry:What does time have to do with it?

Alex:Oh, you´re gonna think I´m crazy.
