《教父1》：最平淡無(wú)激情的求婚.

　　沒(méi)有玫瑰，沒(méi)有鉆戒，甚至沒(méi)有甜言蜜語(yǔ);邁克(Michael)提出，凱(Kay)首肯：現(xiàn)實(shí)中的愛(ài)情總沒(méi)有想象的美好?？吹健督谈浮分械倪@一段，你只會(huì)得出一個(gè)結(jié)論——不管你是不是贊同——婚姻不是因?yàn)椤皭?ài)”，至少不是雙方都有，而是因?yàn)椤靶枰薄?/p>

　　Kay: How long have you been back?

　　Michael: I&aposve been back a year. Longer than that, I think. It&aposs good to see you, Kay. I&aposm working for my father now, Kay. He&aposs been sick. Very sick.

　　……

　　Kay: Michael, why did you come here? Why? What do you want with me after all this time? I&aposve been calling and writing.

　　Michael: I came because I need you. I care for you.

　　Kay: Please stop it, Michael.

　　Michael: Because... I want you to marry me.

　　Kay: It&aposs too late.

　　Michael: Please, Kay...I&aposll do anything you ask to make up for what&aposs happened to us. Because that&aposs important, Kay. Because what&aposs important is that...we have each other. That we have a life together. That we have children. Our children. Kay, I need you. And I love you.

　　重點(diǎn)講解：

　　邁克與凱本是戀人。邁克殺人之后到意大利避風(fēng)頭，與一個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)嘏⒁灰?jiàn)鐘情并很快結(jié)婚。因?yàn)楸ｇS的背叛，女孩在預(yù)謀的爆炸中喪生。再加上邁克的大哥桑尼為仇家所殺，邁克才從意大利返回美國(guó)，幫助病弱的父親打理家族生意。

　　前后近兩年時(shí)間，邁克沒(méi)和凱以任何方式聯(lián)系過(guò)，雖然凱一直在往他家打電話或是寫信(I&aposve been calling and writing現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí))。所以凱質(zhì)問(wèn)他，“為什么要來(lái)這兒”“在經(jīng)歷過(guò)這許多時(shí)日后還來(lái)找她做什么”(What do you want with me after all this time)

　　邁克的回答前兩句“因?yàn)槲倚枰恪?need)“因?yàn)槲谊P(guān)心你”(care for，關(guān)懷)讓凱很快阻止了。接著邁克作出保證，說(shuō)只要?jiǎng)P要求，他回盡力彌補(bǔ)這段時(shí)間發(fā)生在他們之間的事(make up，彌補(bǔ)，補(bǔ)償)。最后一句話是最直白的：凱，我需要你，而且我愛(ài)你(Kay, I need you. And I love you.)?！藗兇┮路?，是為御寒還是為美觀?——首先是為御寒，然后才是美觀。——ugly, but it is true.
