Scene 2
http://www.sina.com.cn 2002/01/10 19:59  《冒气泡》

  Sergio: I recently started painting model airplanes. When I was young I would buy die-cast models and then paint them. It was a painstaking effort, but I was young.

  Julia: Is it expensive?

  Sergio: I try not to think about the cost. It's my hobby. It's the time for me. How can I put a price on that? I can't. My friends complain that I waste money. I don't care. I enjoy it.

  Julia: I used to watch birds when I was a youngster. I could identify every species and gender of bird.

  Sergio: What happened?

  Julia: I stopped doing it and starting working for a living.

  Sergio: We can get caught up in living a life of mediocrity. I, at least, want to have some pleasure while I am still young. Old age comes very fast.

  Julia: Life is like a movie sometimes. You think that only a month has passed but really it has been a year. One year turns to ten years.

  Sergio: Ten years turns to a lifetime. What's wrong with a little enjoyment?

  Julia: Nothing. Kids know how to take full advantage of life.

  Sergio: The older I get I have to remind myself to stop and smell the roses. I just can't work 15 hours a day and be happy about it. Money is only money. When I die, I can't take it with me.

  Julia: You can give it to your kids.

  Sergio: They won't appreciate money unless they earn it like I earned it.

  Julia: I guess I can understand.

  Sergio: The real joy in life is in the doing. Seizing the moment.

  Julia: Let's seize the day.

业余爱好第二幕

  塞吉奥:我最近开始给一些飞机模型上油漆。我小时候会买一些金属铸造模型,然后给它们上油漆。那是件需要付出艰苦努力的活,但我那时还年轻。

  朱莉娅:那开销大吗?

  塞吉奥:我不去想这些开销。这是我的爱好。我要为自己花点时间,我怎能在这上面考虑价钱呢?我不能。我的朋友们说我浪费钱,我不在乎,我喜欢这样。

  朱莉娅:当我是个小女孩时我常常观察鸟。我能分出每一个鸟的种类和雌雄。

  塞吉奥:后来呢?

  朱莉娅:我不再观察了,开始工作谋生。

  塞吉奥:我们应该全神贯注于普普通通的生活。至少我要在我还年轻的时候享受一些欢乐。岁月不饶人。

  朱莉娅:生活就像一场电影。你只想着才过去一个月,但实际上一年已经过去了。你觉得才一年,其实十年过去了。

  塞吉奥:十年变成了一辈子。享受小小的欢乐有什么不好?

  朱莉娅:没什么不好。小孩子知道该怎么充分利用生活。

  塞吉奥:随着年龄越来越大,我要提醒自己注意从工作中脱身,享受真正的生活。我就是不能每天工作15小时并且还为此而高兴。钱仅仅是钱,我死的时候又不能带着走。

  朱莉娅:你可以把钱留给你的孩子。

  塞吉奥:除非他们能像我一样挣到这些钱,否则他们不会珍惜的。

  朱莉娅:我觉得我能理解。

  塞吉奥:生活中真正的快乐在于作的过程。要抓住那个瞬间。

  朱莉娅:我们来抓住这一天。
