“Hi, little bird. It’s me. And I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do. I’m sorry if I made it worse. My face is mine, my hands are mine. My mouth is mine. But I’m not. I’m yours.” “Mom, here’s your favorite song.”

“嗨，小寶貝。是我。對不起。我當時不知所措。抱歉我沒做好。我的臉，我的手， 我的嘴，都是我的。但我不是。我是你的。”“媽媽，這是你最喜歡的歌?！?/div>

“Sweet Child O' Mine
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, Sweet child o' mine
Oh oh oh oh, Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, Sweet child o' mine
Oh oh oh oh , Sweet love of mine
Oh oh oh, Sweet child o' mine
Oh oh oh, Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet child ...
o' mine”

“她彷佛是在對我微笑
勾起了我的童年回憶
那段時光，如同明亮的藍天
從此以后每次我見到她
彷佛被帶到另一個特別的地方
如果我凝視得太久
必定會崩潰而哭泣
我甜美的愛人啊
我甜蜜的愛情啊
她的雙眼有如最藍的天空一般
充滿淚水時
我不忍凝望
因為那讓我痛苦
她的頭發(fā)讓我想起一個溫暖而安全的地方
在我的孩提時代，常躲藏在里面祈禱
祈禱能平安的躲過雷電和暴雨
我甜美的愛人啊
我甜蜜的愛情啊
我們該何去何從
我們該何去何從
我們該何去何從
我甜美的孩子啊”

“Goodbye, Mommy!” “I love you all, okay?” “We love you.” “Why are you going to Namibia?” “I just put my finger on a map.” “When you have sex with a woman, be gentle and listen to her. Treat her with respect and dignity, even if you don’t love her.” “I know.” “Always tell the truth. Always take the high road.” “I know.” “Live each day like it could be your last. Drink it in. Be adventurous, be bold, but savor it. It goes fast.” “I know.” “Don’t die.” “I won’t.” “Get out of here.” “Power to the people.” “Stick it to the man.”

【背景解讀】

一對夫妻，遠離塵世,在美國西海岸的深山中養(yǎng)育、教育六個子女。妻子因為疾病返回現(xiàn)代社會治療,父親依然日復(fù)一日,率領(lǐng)孩子們在叢林深處狩獵、格斗、攀巖、解剖。言傳身教生存技能。夜晚,他們在篝火旁聆聽古典樂,學(xué)習(xí)樂器，聽父親講解歷史、哲學(xué)、醫(yī)學(xué)、社會法律,開放式熱烈討論所思所得。精神世界之豐富,領(lǐng)先于“外面的世界”許多倍。母親因病去世的消息傳來,孩子們決心走出深山,到城市去參加“塵世葬禮”。他們發(fā)誓奪回母親的遺體,按照她的遺愿火葬，而不是遵照世俗的安排棺槨入土。
