Quotes from Oliver:
今年是2003年，这是今年的太阳，今年的星星，自然景观，现任总统，这是1955年的太阳，当年的星星，当年的自然景观，当年的汽车、电话、电影和总统，当年的宠物是这样的。当年的烟花，那时人们这样子抽烟、接吻、悲伤。
This is 2003. This is what the sun looks like, and the stars, nature... This is the President. And this is the sun in 1955. And the stars, and nature,and cars and phones and movies and the President. These are what pets looked like. These are fireworks. This was smoking. This is what it looked like when people kissed. When they were happy. When they were sad.
2003年，我和安娜正式交往了。
这是当年的阳光，当年的星星，那年我们吃饭的样子，我们谈天说地的样子。我生于1965年，安娜生于1971年，这是那年的阳光，她的宠物，她的父母，她16岁离家，曾住过这里，这里，这里，还有这里。她和三个男人交往过，均以分手告终，我和四个女人交往过，也均以分手告终，或让她们伤心欲绝。我们没参加这场战争，也不用偷偷摸摸地做爱，我们如此幸运，能感受一种父母无暇顾及的悲伤，体会一种他们从未有过的幸福，我们不知脑海中的记忆从何而来，但有时大脑也会一片空白。
而在2003年，我能真切地看到安娜的眼眸，她的耳朵，她的双脚，这是2003年，她说"我爱你"的样子，这是她哭泣的样子。她告诉我，一直有一个空房间等着她，他们曾让她感到无拘无束，现在却感到束缚重重。
Anna and I are in a relationship in 2003.
This is what the sun looks like and the stars. This is what it looks like when we eat. When we tell each other the stories in our heads. I was born in 1965.Anna was born in 1971. This is what the sun looked like. Her pets.Her parents.She left home when she was sixteen. She lived here,and here,and here,and here. She had three serious relationships. She left all of them. I had four serious relationships. I left them, too. Or let them fall apart.We didn't go to this war.We didn't have to hide to have sex. Our good fortune allowed us to feel a sadness that our parents didn't have time for, and a happiness that I never saw with them. We didn't know how we learned the stories in our heads, but sometimes they stop running.
And I can really see Anna's eyes in 2003. Her ears. Her feet. This is what it looks like when she says, "I love you," in 2003. This is what it looks like when she cries. When she tells me there's always a new empty room waiting for her. They used to make her feel free. Now they make her feel the opposite of free.
Quotes from Anna:
我们能不能只单纯睡个觉？
Can we just sleep?
你不了解我，这点我喜欢。
You don't know me. I like that.
那是树，还有车，一座和这栋一样大楼，住着和我们一样的人，一半的人不相信奇迹，另一半人相信魔法，他们之间仿佛有场战争。
That's a tree. And cars. Another building like this one. People in the building like us. Half of them think things will never work out. The other half believe in magic. It's like a war between them.
