All that city you just couldn’t see an end to it.

The end? Please? Can you please just show me where it ends?

It was all very final on that gangway and I was grant too in my over coat. I cut quite a figure, and I was getting off, guaranteed. That wasn’t the problem.

It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me, Max, it was what I didn’t see。 Do you understand that? What I didn’t see.

In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was no end.

What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.

Take a piano, hmm? The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you different. They are not infinite

You are infinite. And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite.

I like that. That I can live by.

You get me up on that gangway and you rill out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, Millions and billions of keys that never end.

That’s the truth, Max, they never end. That keyboard is infinite.

And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play.

You are sitting on the wrong bench. That’s God’s piano.

Christ! Did you see the streets? Just the street-----there were thousands of them.

How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one?

One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world just weighing down on you. You don’t even know where it comes to an end.

Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of it.

I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by.

But 2000 people at a time, and there were wishes here.

But never more than fit between prow and stern.

You played put your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite! I learned to live that way.

Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong, it’s music I don’t know how to make.

I can never get off this ship. I’m blessed I can step off my life.

After all, I don’t exist for anyone.

You are the exception, Max. You are the only one who knows I’m here. You are a minority, and you’d better get used of it.

Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not getting off.

使我停下来的，不是我所能看到的，而是我所未见
你能体会吗？那些我看不清的东西，在那延绵不断的城市中，我能看到一切，可就是看不到尽头。。。什么都有，就是没有尽头。。。而尽头，正是我所未见
比如说这个钢琴，琴键有开始,也有终结，傻瓜都知道它有八十八个键，他们是有限的，而音乐是无限的。在这有限的八十八个琴键上，你可以弹奏出无穷无尽的音乐，我就喜欢这样，我也只能这样生存。
但你们把我送上舷梯，把我推向一架有无数个琴键的钢琴，真的，由无数个键组成，可如果琴键是无穷的，我又该怎么演奏呢？
我只能说，我坐错了地方，那是上帝才能弹奏的钢琴……
老天啊，你有没有看到那些街道？那千万条街道，怎样才能从中选一个？选一个女人、一栋房子，选一块属于自己的土地，选一片属于自己的风景，选一种自己的活法。沉重的世界压在你的肩头，黑黝黝的却看不到尽头。要是你离开这里，去往那个陌生而无穷的世界，你难道就不感到害怕？
我在船上出生，“世界”在船上来来往往，可每次也就两千多人。船上也可以充满期望，但都限定在船的范围内，从船头到船尾那么大，你可以在有限的琴键上弹奏出无穷的欢乐。我从小就学会了这种生活，陆地，对我来说，是一艘过大的船，是一个过于漂亮的女人，是一次太长的旅行，是一种太浓郁的香水，是一曲我弹奏不出的音乐……
我不能下船，我不愿放弃我的生活，毕竟，我就像一个从未存在过的人，你是个例外, 你是唯一一个知道我还在这里的人，你最好习惯这样，原谅我，我的朋友，我不会下船的。

1900不愿意上岸，他宁愿生在海上，死在海上，他畏惧陆地，那里有无止境的欲望，何时才是个尽头，哪里是尽头？他没有出生证明，除了好友Max没人知道他。在那个离他很远的陆地上，他怕不能掌控自己的生活，不能适应那个复杂的社会，最后迷失了自我。。他只要他的钢琴与他的Virginian,在这里他才能平静的生活，无欲望的生活，自在的生活。去年看《不能说的秘密》的时候，听说Jay有模仿《海上钢琴师》，那之前也听说过这部片子，都说不错，后来由于各种原因没看成，前几天和舍友一起看了这部片子，看完感觉很震撼，这绝对是一部好片子，能产生心灵震撼的那种，震撼的不是斗琴的那一段，而是最后1900说的那些话，就是上面的那段话~而印象最深的是下面这段

One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world just weighing down on you. You don’t even know where it comes to an end.
随着毕业的临近，朋友同学之间聊天的话题渐渐的从吃喝玩乐，穿衣打扮，电影娱乐转到了工作，住房，理想和将来~人人都在讲理想，可实现的人却不是很多，大部分人都是等到老去了，才发现这个问题。我是一个惰性严重的人，但我觉得我的一切奋斗和努力都源于那个梦想，如果没有这些激励我，我是很容易颓废下去的，我不是一个志存高远的人，也不是一个特别聪明勤奋的人，我是一个快乐的人，每个人的追求不一样，我很自私，我只要将来能快快乐乐就行，而要快乐，就要实现梦想，当然，实现梦想不是简单的事，但人们把这个实现梦想的过程说的不值得，我就搞不懂了，当你朝着一个你心中向往的那个目标奋斗的时候，不也是一种快乐吗？？
记得高中的时候，我是那么的叛逆，玩耍，哥哥就跟我讲：你将来想要过什么样的生活呢？如果你继续这样，将来高中毕业，上个普普通通的大学，接着毕业进一个小公司，谈恋爱结婚生子，抚养孩子长大，接着就是等死。。。你想过这样的生活吗？我说我不想。。。他说那你现在就要开始奋斗，为了你想要的生活~
我想说，生活不是一帆风顺，但我们都必需坚信一点，那就是没有什么坎是过不去的~真的，时间真的可以冲淡一切，只要选对了方向，只要你够努力，你一定会成功。。。用丘吉尔的那句话：never never give up~
