作为好莱坞历史上最重要的经典影片之一,《乱世佳人》无疑已成为电影史上的一件珍贵瑰宝,数十年来一直是影迷票选中最受欢迎的一部影片。根据玛格丽特.米契尔(Margaret Mitchell)的畅销名著《飘》(Gone With The Wind) 改编而成。故事背景是美国南北战争时代的亚特兰大,塔拉庄园的千金小姐郝思嘉爱上文质彬彬的卫希礼,但他却选择了温婉的表妹韩媚兰作终身伴侣。个性倔强的思嘉为了报复而另嫁,但却在战争爆发后成为寡妇。其后,思嘉与风度翩翩的白瑞德历经波折之后成婚,却因对希礼的心结未解而以分手告终。全片制作严谨,气魄傲人,剧情发展紧凑而荡气回肠,吸引力历六十年而不衰。片中男女主角克拉克.盖博(Clark Gable)与费雯.丽(Vivien Leigh)堪称影史绝配,制片人大卫.赛茨尼克与导演维克托.弗莱明(Victor Fleming)亦功不可没,最佳影片等九项奥斯卡奖足为明证。
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett! Please, don't go! You can't leave me! Please! I'll never forgive you!
斯嘉丽:哦,莱特,别走!你不能离开我!求你!我将永远不会原谅你!
Rhett Butler: I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names.
Rhett Butler: Scarlett! Look at me! I've love you more than I've ever loved any woman and I've waited for you longer than I've ever waited for any woman.
巴特勒:斯嘉丽!看着我!我对你的爱比对任何女人的爱都深,而且为你等待的时间最长。
Scarlett: Let me alone!
斯嘉丽:让我一个人呆着!
Rhett Butler: Here's a soldier of the South who loves you, Scarlett. Wants to feel your arms around him, wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him. Never mind about loving me, you're a woman sending a soldier to his death with a beautiful memory. Scarlett! Kiss me! Kiss me... once...
Rhett Butler: I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true.
巴特勒:我将离开你,亲爱的。现在你需要做的是离婚,你和艾什利在一起的梦想成真了。
Scarlett: Oh, no! No, you're wrong, terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh Rhett, but I knew tonight, when I... when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh darling, darling!
Rhett Butler: Please don't go on with this, Leave us some dignity to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last.
巴特勒:请不要说了,为我们的婚姻留下点尊严吧,珍惜这最后一次吧。
Scarlett: I wanted you. I wanted you desperately but I didn't think you wanted me.
斯嘉丽:我曾需要你。我不顾一切的想要你,但我不认为你同样需要我。
Rhett Butler: It seems we've been at cross purposes, doesn't it· But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her, and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, Rhett please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything.
斯嘉丽:莱特,请别说了。我很抱歉,我为一切感到内疚。
Rhett Butler: My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying, "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Rhett Butle: I'm going to Charleston, back where I belong.
巴特勒: 我要去查尔斯顿,去应该属于我的地方。
Scarlett: Please, please... take me with you!
斯嘉丽: 请你带我一起去吧!
Rhett Butle: No. I'm through with everything here. I want peace... I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace... Do you know what I'm talking about·
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, Rhett! Rhett! Rhett! But, Rhett, if you go,what shall I do· Where shall I go·
斯嘉丽: 莱特!你要走,我去哪里呢?我该怎么办呢?
Rhett Butle: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!
巴特勒: 坦白说,我亲爱的,我一点也不关心。
Scarlett: I can't let him go! I can't! I won't think about losing him now! I'll go crazy if I do!... I'll think about that tomorrow... After all, tomorrow is another day!
