《蓝莓之夜》（My Blueberry Nights），是王家卫执导的首部英语电影。演员阵容强大，裘德洛以及艾美奖女歌手诺拉琼斯担纲男女主角，娜塔莉波特曼，蕾切尔薇姿分别饰演另外两个女配角。电影讲的是年轻的纽约女子伊丽莎白为了忘掉失恋的痛苦，展开了一段旅程，每到一处都会遇到形形色色的人：善解人意的咖啡店老板，酗酒成瘾的失婚警察，不再信任任何人的年轻女赌徒……这些都成为她沿途的风景。每一步路，都是增长阅历、寻找自己的过程。电影中不乏经典台词，其中之一就是：Sometimes we depend on other people as a mirror, to define us and tell us who we are. 有时我们以他人做镜子，来介定自我、认识自我。

电影中，Liz发现男友移情别恋后，痛苦的想要将钥匙归还，可内心却依旧不舍。如同所有被遗弃的人一样，她也在问“为什么？我不好在哪里？”也许，哪里都好，只是对方没有选择你而已，如同那盘总被剩下的蓝莓派。

Liz: Hey, I need someone to talk to. Do you think he'll pick up the keys? 嗨，我需要找人说说话。你想他会来拿锁匙吗?

Jeremy: I don't know. I've had customers leaving keys here for years. Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks. 不知道。我让客人寄放锁匙好几年了。有时过几天就拿走，有时几星期。

Liz: Well, what about most of the time? 大部份时候呢?

Jeremy: Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar. 大部份时候，锁匙留在瓶里

Liz: Well why do you keep them? You should just throw them out. 为什么留着它们? 应该扔掉。

Jeremy: No. No I couldn't do that. 不行。我不能那么做。

Liz: Why not? 为什么?

Jeremy: If I threw these keys away then those doors will be closed forever. And that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it? 要是我把它们扔掉那些门就会永远锁着。这点不应该由我作主，对不对?

Liz: Guess I'm just looking for a reason. 我猜我只是在找理由。

Jeremy: Well, from my observations sometimes it's better off not knowing and other times there's no reason to be found. 根据我的观察，不知道反倒更好，有时根本就没有理由。

Liz: Everything has a reason. 凡事都有理由。

Jeremy: It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished. But there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched. 就像这些批和蛋糕。每晚打烊的时候芝士蛋糕和苹果批总是卖清。桃馅饼和朱古力慕斯蛋糕也接近卖完。但总有一个蓝莓批没人碰。

Liz: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie? 蓝莓派有什么不妥?

Jeremy: There's nothing's wrong with the blueberry pie. It's just people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie. It's just no one wants it. 蓝莓派没什么不妥。只是人们选了其他的。你不能怪蓝莓派，只不过没人要它。

Liz: Wait! I want a piece.等等! 我要一块。

Jeremy: With ice cream? Leave it to me. 加冰淇淋吗? 让我效劳。

蓝莓派没有错，只是别人没有选择它而已。不需要更多理由。总有一天会碰上只喜欢吃蓝莓派，不选择其他糕点的人。所以，即使现在left untouched, 没人碰，被剩下，也不必怨天尤人。leave sth.+done意为“让某物处于某种状态”。Untouched为分词形式的形容词。类似用法还有，The door was left open. She left her food untouched. 等等。

现在的Liz正处于失恋最痛苦的时间段当中，纠结“reason”，想弄清自己到底哪里不好。认真过的人不可能说放下就放下。Liz还需要很长的自我修复过程。下期，我们继续感受王家卫的电影，感受《蓝莓之夜》。
