科尔开始有了别的女人,他对于我的工作也满是怨言,26岁的年龄让我渐渐远离了希望,原来在上海,女人是离不开男人的。我答应科尔会在一定的时间里消失掉,科尔也同意给我一笔可观的生活费,足以让我应付我自己生活。冬天的下午我变的无事可做,每天就是逛逛街,看看电影,去去酒吧,然后像个怨妇一样地满世界找人聊天、诉苦。
那天在朋友家里看了一部电影叫《美国丽人》,朋友说女主角和我长的有几分相似。而我说自己觉得自己更像是“ 茶花女”,一个像表子那样生活的女人。这个世界上这种女人多了,才会有科尔那样的男人,才会有不公平,才会有竞争。真爱是虚无的东西,我曾经天真地以为我可以和小莫相守到老,可也许结婚后他就会因为赚不到钱而与我争吵。我还认为鹏是我很好的归宿,我们可以一起努力,可他却无法拒绝物质的诱惑,或许他真和我在一起了也是为了我的钱。最后我可以和阿宾过很好的家庭生活,我应该是他想象中的好太太,可为了我的梦想,我的欲望,我伤害了他,但就算我为他生两个孩子,一家相安无事地生活,几十年过去依然会觉得没劲。科尔可以满足我的梦想,可越美丽的东西越是那么短暂。
下面这段话引自电影《美国丽人》:
"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. First off that one second isn’t one second at all,it stretches on forever like an ocean of time. For me, it was lying on my back at boy scout camp watching falling stars,and yellow leāves from the maple trees that lined our street,or my grandmother’s hands and the way her skin seemed like paper,and the first time I saw my cousin Tony’s brand new firebird. And Janie. And Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed-off about what happened to me,but it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much Beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much, and my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst,and then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold onto it,and then it flows through me like rain,and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You hāve no idea what I’m talking about, but don’t worry, you will someday."
我喜欢这段话。
最终我才明白,原来一切获得都是需要付出的,即使是相爱也不可以相信那些天真的、浪漫的东西。我开始整理我的思路,然后准备着出国前的一切。
