海上钢琴师经典语录

　　Moonlight city. You just couldn‘t see an end to it. It wasn‘t what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn‘t see.

　　Take the piano. Keys begin. Keys end. You know there are 88 of them. They‘re not infinite. You‘re infinite. And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out in front of me. Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end. That keyboard is infinite. Then on that keyboard there‘s no music you can play. That‘s God‘s piano.

　　Did you see the streets? There‘re thousands of them. How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one way to die… You don‘t even know where it comes to an end. Aren‘t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the thought of it?

　　I was born on this ship. And the world passed me by. But 2000 people at a time and there‘re old wishes here. But nevermore that fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way.

　　Land? Land is a ship too big for me, It‘s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to strong, music I don‘t know how to play. I can never get off this ship. At best, I didn‘t step off my life. After all, I don‘t exist for anyone.

偌大的城市，绵延无尽。并非是我眼见的让我停住了脚步，而是我所看不见的。你能明白吗？

　　拿钢琴来说。键盘有始亦有终。你确切地知道88个键就在那儿，错不了。它们并不是无限的，而你，才是无限的。你能在键盘上表现的音乐是无限的。我喜欢这样，我能轻松应付。而你现在让我走过跳板，走到城市里，等着我的是一个没有尽头的键盘。我又怎能在这样的键盘上弹奏呢？那是上帝的键盘啊！

　　你看到那数不清的街道吗？如何只选择其中一条去走？一个共渡一生的女人，一幢属于自己的屋子，一种生与死的方式……你甚至不知道什么时候才是尽头。一想到这个，难道不会害怕、会崩溃吗？

　　我在这艘船上出生。世事千变万化，然而这艘船每次只载2000人。这里有着希望，但仅在船头和船尾之间。你可以在有限的钢琴上奏出你的欢欣快乐。我习惯了这样的生活。

　　陆地？陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，太漂亮的女人，太长的旅程，太浓烈的香水，无从着手的音乐。我永远无法走下这艘船，这样的话，我宁可舍弃我的生命。毕竟，我从没有为任何人存在过，不是么？
