Gillian: Cheer up .Every cloud has a silver lining振作起来,再坏的情况也有好的一面。)Miles:1(J()LIl)I ii(我很怀疑。)Cillian: Well, Ang Lee hacl beei] jobless for s/x vears before he gothisirst brcak in Hollywood. Six longr yearsl Look what happens now. You gona)elieve even' cloud has a silverlining【要知道,李安在好莱坞取得突破前有整整6年没工作。漫长的6年啊!看他现在多风光。你必须得相信绝望之中存在着希望。)
除了起鼓励作用之外,这句谚语也常被愤世嫉俗的人拿来说反话。我印象最深刻的例子便是2003年改美国电影Monster(((女头》)。Charlize Therclq死7名嫖客的妓女Aileen Wuornos而获得了奥斯卡最角奖。Aileen在被执行死刑前,就曾经说过这样一段话:I've conquers all."…‘Evcry cloud has a silver Iining." "Faithcan move mountainsn 'love will always find a way Every thingh append for a reason ,Where there is hope.hal)l)cns『’0r arcason.…‘Whcre chcrc is iirc. illcre i s hc)l)c.”laughsJ ()hWell. they gotta tell you something.(“爱可以征服一切。”“绝望之中存在着希望。”“信念可以排除万难。”“爱总会找到出路。”“凡事发生皆有原因。”“只要有生命的地方就有希望。”【嗤之以鼻地一笑】是啊,他们总得告诉你点什么。)
在1997年的英国电影Fever Pitch(《发烧友》)里,Colin Firth扮演的男主角Paul Ashworth也有一段充满了怨气的独白: Why is that adults are"supposesed to go about anythng ?You gotta keep a lid on it.And if you donnot. then people areapparentlyentitled ro say what they like. "You haven grown up. You're a moron.Your conversation is trivial and boorish. You caIl't express your tenotionalneeds. You can't relate to Your child ren." And you die. lonely andmserable. But you know what the hell even- cloud has a silverlining.【为什么成年人就不可以有情绪?你必须得控制自己。如果做不到,人们显然可以爱怎么说就怎么说。“你还没长大。你是个白痴。你的对话无聊而粗鲁。你不会表达自己的感情需求。你跟自己的孩子都无法沟通。”然后你就孤独而痛苦的死去,但管他呢,反正再坏的事也会有好的一面”
