《蓝莓之夜》承继王家卫一贯的电影风格，表达现代人内心的焦虑和苦闷，并特别关注其中的爱情质量和关系。影片中诗意而现代的人物和人物关系，美丽而隽永的音、像格调，都是王家卫的标签。

钥匙，一直是很有象征意义的物件。总让人想到“归属”想到“家”。每一串钥匙背后，似乎都有一段和情感有关的故事。一起来听下面的一段吧。

Liz: Will you tell me the stories behind those other keys? 说说其他锁匙的故事好吗?

Jeremy: What for? 为什么?

Liz: I just wondered how they all ended up here. 我只是好奇它们最后怎么会在这儿。

Jeremy: Pick one. Those belonged to a young couple a few years ago. They were naive enough to believe that they were gonna spend the rest of their lives together. 挑一串。那是几年前一对年青情侣的。他们天真地相信他们会共度余生。

Liz: Well, what happened? 后来怎样?

Jeremy: Life happened. Things happened. Yeah, time happened. It's pretty much always the case more or less. 人生变迁。世事变迁，光阴变迁。几乎一切都不外如是。

Liz: Or maybe one of them ran off with someone else. 又或者其中一个跟别人跑了。

Jeremy: Maybe the feelings just went away. 或者感情淡了。

Liz: What about these? 这一串呢?

Jeremy: Those belonged to a little old lady. Her best friend would pick them up and come to visit her. She dropped them off and I never saw her again. I presumed, I mean, she was pretty old. I presumed she passed away or something. 那是一位老婆婆的。她的好朋友探访她时会来拿。她留下锁匙后我就没再见过她。我猜…我的意思是，她很老了。我猜可能已经过世。

Liz: What about these? 这一串呢?

Jeremy: These keys used to belong to a young lad from Manchester England who made plans and had dreams of running every marathon in this country, starting in New York. He was going to write a journal about his experiences and ended up running a cafe. Later they were given to a Russian girl who loved collecting keys and watching sunsets. Unfortunately, she loved sunsets more than the keys and ended up disappearing into one. 这一串是一个小伙子的。来自英国曼曼彻斯特，有抱负，有梦想。想从纽约马拉松跑遍美国。他打算把经历写成日志，结果却开了家小餐室。后来锁匙交给一个俄国少女，她喜欢收集锁匙和看夕阳，可惜她爱夕阳多过爱这串锁匙，最后消失在夕阳中。

Liz: Why didn't you go looking for her? 你为什么不去找她?

Jeremy: When I was little me mum used to take me to the park on weekends. She said if I ever got lost I had to stay in one place so that she'd find me. 小时候，我妈周末会带我去公园。她说要是我迷路了，就站定在一个地方，她会回来找我。

Liz: Does that work? 行得通吗?

Jeremy: Not really. She got lost once looking for me. 不大通。有一次她找我找到迷了路。

电影里流淌着一切随缘的情绪，没有什么是确定的，是不变的。因为life happened. Things happened and time happened. 这里，life happened可以翻译为，生活就是个这样子，也可以理解为人生变迁是常态。那么，things happened, time happened, 也就是什么事情都可能会发生，时间一直在变化。我们可以这三个happened翻译为人生变迁，世事变迁，光阴变迁。

就如同店主Jeremy一样，最初是个打算跑遍美国，写游记的青年，最后，ended up running a café. 后面还出现了ended up disappearing，都是end up doing 结构，表示“以……告终”。再比如：You could end up running this company if you play your cards right. 你要是处理得当，到头来这个公司能归你掌管。这个短语后面也可以接形容词或介词短语，例如，end up dead, 死于非命；end up in prison, 最终锒铛入狱。

Liz和Jeremy两个人就在类似的交谈中逐渐了解对方，直至产生好感，只是，他们每个人都还有一把钥匙留在柜台的大罐子里，就像他们无法解开的心结。于是，想要彻底改变的Liz选择离开，开始了一次不知何时才会结束的旅程。下期，我们继续《蓝莓之夜》。和Liz一起，看百态人生。
