the christmas shoes
朋友推荐,上网搜了电影 the christmas shoes (珍贵的礼物)。一口气看完,感动的一塌糊涂。儿子看我忙着擦眼泪,不知发生了什么,“妈妈,怎么啦?”小孩很怕自己又惹妈妈生气了。连忙安慰,“没事,妈妈感动了。”很想让孩子也看看这部电影,只可惜网上很难搜到,我好不容易搜到的这个网站是全英文的,没有字幕,更可惜的是缺了最关键的part 9,也就是片中的小男孩内森在圣诞夜买了礼物后送给妈妈,妈妈穿着内森买来的红舞鞋,微笑着走向天堂的情节,这真是美中不足。
片中最感人的情节是妈妈与小男孩的一段关于生死的沉重对话,看到这儿,我的眼泪止不住地往下流。
“妈妈,你要去天堂了吗?”
“是的,你相信我,即使我去了天堂,你也一直在我这里。”她把儿子的手放在胸口握着。
“天堂很美吗?有狗吗?
“多的数都数不清。”
“你会见到外公吗?”
“外公就在天堂门口接我。”
雷森开始抽泣:“你能不能告诉外公一句话,我小时候在他柜子上看到一元钱,我就拿走了,我想跟他说对不起,可是没有机会了,对不起,对不起,对不起。。。”
“我会转告外公的。”
“可是,我想告诉上帝,我不想让他带你去天堂。妈妈,你能不能不去天堂?”
令人惊奇的是,这部电影的原型是《The Christmas Shoes》这首很感人的圣诞歌曲,说的是一个小男孩为他快要死去的妈妈买最后一个圣诞礼物的故事, 提醒我们不要忘记生命的意义。
The Christmas Shoes 圣诞鞋
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin’to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing ’round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
已经是快要圣诞节了,我排着队
准备买最后一两件的礼物,但我没有什么过圣诞节的情绪
站在我前面的是一个小男孩,他很着急的排着队
在他的手中拿着一双鞋
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
他的衣服都已破旧,从头到脚也是脏悉悉的
等到该他付帐时
我不敢相信我听到他这样说道
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
先生,我想替我妈妈买这双鞋
今天是圣诞夜了,这又鞋刚好是我***尺寸
请你动作快点好吗 我爸爸说 她时间不多了
你知道吗 她已经生病很久了
我想这双鞋会让她高兴的笑的
如果妈妈今晚会见到上帝的话 我想让她看起来漂亮些
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there’s not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
他数着一个一个的分钱,时间好像过了许久似的
收银员说:孩子啊 你的钱不够啊
他又着急惊慌的找翻了他的口袋
然后 他转身过来 看着我
他说 妈妈总是让家里的圣诞节过的很棒
但这些年 她都没过了
先生啊 请你告诉我 我该怎么办啊
我一定得想法帮她买到这双圣诞鞋啊
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama’s gonna look so great
我把钱放在柜台上 我想 我一定要帮他
我永远不会忘记在当时他脸上的表情
他说着 妈妈一定会看起来很漂亮的
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
先生,我想替我妈妈买这双鞋
今天是圣诞夜了,这又鞋刚好是我***尺寸
请你动作快点好吗 我爸爸说 她时间不多了
你知道吗 她已经生病很久了
我想这双鞋会让她高兴的笑的
如果妈妈今晚会见到上帝的话 我想让她看起来漂亮些
I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
我知道 那天当他向我道谢后跑出去时
我看到了一线天堂之爱
我知道是上帝把这个小男孩 送到我面前来
它是要提醒我 圣诞节的真交到底是何物
