【觀影筆記】淺談電影中的文學性：以狄蘭湯瑪斯(Dylan Thomas)的詩為例

And death shall have no dominion. 死亡不再主宰一切。
Dead men naked they shall be one 死者赤裸，與宇宙合一。
With the man in the wind and the west moon; 伴著風中之人與西斜之月。
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, 枯骨淨化，白骨化塵。
They shall have stars at elbow and foot; 手足處將有星辰誕生。
Though they go mad they shall be sane, 已瘋魔者，將重獲理智。
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; 已沉溺者，將再次騰升。
Though lovers be lost love shall not; 戀人雖逝，戀情永存。
And death shall have no dominion. 死亡不再主宰一切。

Do not go gentle into that good night, 別輕柔地步入那良夜。
Old age should burn and rave at close of day; 白晝將盡，就算年老也要燃燒咆嘯；
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 怒吼、怒吼抗拒天光沒滅。
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, 雖然在白晝盡頭，智者自知該踏上夜途。
Because their words had forked no lightning they 因為他們的言語未曾迸發出電光，
Do not go gentle into that good night. 別輕柔地步入那良夜。

Every Night & every Morn, 每一個黑夜每一個清晨，
Some to Misery are Born. 有人為著痛苦而出生；
Every Morn & every Night, 每一個清晨每一個黑夜，
Some are Born to sweet delight. 有人生而為怡悅。
Some are Born to sweet delight. 有人生而為怡悅，
Some are Born to Endless Night. 有人為著無盡長夜。

「一沙一世界，一花一永恆；手中掌無限，剎那成永恆。」(To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower; Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour.)

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools. The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, The poor player struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more. It is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 明日、明日、又明日，光陰荏苒，日復一日緩緩潛行， 直到最終的滴答聲響；逝去的昨日照耀愚人，領其步上歸塵的死途。 滅了吧、滅了吧，這短暫的燭火！人生不過是四處飄流的陰影，舞台上可憐的演員，不是趾高氣昂，便是愁苦煩躁，事過境遷，終將消失無影。這段故事，由傻子講述，語氣忿怒激昂，卻毫無意義。

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest, Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 我是否該將你比喻為夏日？比起夏日，你更溫柔動人。狂風搖落五月珍愛的花蕊，夏日只是個稍縱即逝的季節。時而，穹蒼之眼炙熱難當，時常，穹蒼容顏金光褪藏，美景時時衰微，融入下一個美景，或順應機緣，或循自然荒野的行徑。然而，那屬於你的永恆夏日從不老去，你所擁有的夏日之美也不曾淡去，死亡無法誇言，你曾漫遊於他的陰影，因為你已誕生於時間永恆的詩句。只要有人呼吸，有眼凝視著，這首詩將長存，並賜予你永生。
