I Follow The Moskva
Down To Gorky Park
Listening To The Wind Of Change
An August Summer Night
Soldiers Passing By
Listening To The Wind Of Change

The World Is Closing In
Did You Ever Think
That We Could Be So Close, Like Brothers
The Future's In The Air
I Can Feel It Everywhere
Blowing With The Wind Of Change

Take Me To The Magic Of The Moment
On A Glory Night
Where The Children Of Tomorrow Dream Away
In The Wind Of Change

Walking Down The Street
Distant Memories
Are Buried In The Past Forever
I Follow The Moskva
Down To Gorky Park
Listening To The Wind Of Change

Take Me To The Magic Of The Moment
On A Glory Night
Where The Children Of Tomorrow Dream Away
In The Wind Of Change

The Wind Of Change Blows Straight
Into The Face Of Time
Like A Stormwind That Will Ring The Freedom Bell
For Peace Of Mind
Let Your Balalaika Sing
What My Guitar Wants To Say

Take Me To The Magic Of The Moment
On A Glory Night
Where The Children Of Tomorrow Dream Away
In The Wind Of Change


看來有大事要發生了。

Hey Girl, Whatcha Doing Down There
Dancing Alone Every Night
While I Live Right Above You?

I Can Hear Your Music Playing
I Can Feel Your Body Swaying
One Floor Below Me
You Don't Even Know Me, I Love You

Oh, My Darling, Knock Three Time
On The Ceiling If You Want Me
Twice On The Pipe
If The Answer Is No

Oh, My Sweetness
Means You'll Meet Me In The Hallway
Oh-oh, Twice On The Pipe
Means You Ain't Gonna Show

If You Look Out Your Window Tonight
Pull In The String With The Note
That's Attached To My Heart

Read How Many Times I Saw You
How In My Silence, I Adored You
And Only In My Dreams Did
That Wall Between Us Come Apart

Oh, My Darling, Knock Three Times
On The Ceiling If You Want Me
Mm-mm, Twice On The Pipe
If The Answer Is No

Oh, My Sweetness
Means You'll Meet Me In The Hallway
Whoa, Twice On The Pipe
Means You Ain't Gonna Show

Whoa, I Can Hear The Music Playing
I Can Feel Your Body Swaying
One Floor Below Me
You Don't Even Know Me, I Love You

Oh, My Darling, Knock Three Times
On The Ceiling If You Want Me
Whoa, Twice On The Pipe
If The Answer Is No
(I Love You, I Love You, I Love You)

Oh, My Sweetness
Means You'll Meet Me In The Hallway
Mm-mm, Twice On The Pipe (Twice On The Pipe)
Means You Ain't Gonna Show...

The Nights Would Seem So Long

They'll Take Us Where We Want To Go
Hold Me Now, Touch Me Now
I Don't Want To Live Without You

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You
You Oughta Know By Know How Much I Love You
One Thing You Can Be Sure Of
I'll Never Ask For More Than Your Love
Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You
You Oughta Know By Know How Much I Love You
The World May Change My Whole Life Through
But Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You

If The Road Ahead Is Not So Easy
Our Love Will Lead The Way For Us
Like A Guiding Star
I'll Be There For You If You Should Need Me
You Don't Have To Change A Thing
I Love You Just The Way You Are
So Come With Me And Share The View
I'll Help You See Forever Too
Hold Me Now, Touch Me Now
I Don't Want To Live Without You

我沒留言,怕劃破了寂靜的星空。眼神流露出讓人意外的自信,嘴角的微揚卻是顯得勉強。

我想是演算法作祟,雖然是個美麗的錯誤,還是該認真的註解一番。

搜尋了一下,應該不算是熱門的作品,問了Gemini,這篇就放Gemini整理的東西,報告放在另一篇。

《PS,我愛你》 (P.S. I Love You) 的情節圍繞著女主角 荷莉 (Holly Kennedy) 如何在失去摯愛後重新找回自我的治癒旅程:
  • 1. 痛失所愛
  • 荷莉與丈夫 傑瑞 (Gerry) 是青梅竹馬的靈魂伴侶,兩人默契十足。然而,傑瑞卻因腦瘤在 30 歲時不幸去世,留下荷莉獨自在都柏林的家中陷入極度的悲傷與茫然,甚至無法獨自面對日常生活。
  • 2. 傑瑞的最後遺物
  • 在荷莉 30 歲生日前夕,她從母親那裡收到了一個神祕包裹,裡面是傑瑞臨終前準備的 10 封信件。
    • 約定: 傑瑞要求荷莉每個月只能開啟一封信。
    • 結尾: 每一封信的結尾都附註著同一句話:「PS, 我愛妳」(P.S. I Love You)。
  • 3. 一年的治癒任務
  • 這些信件並非只是回憶,而是傑瑞為荷莉量身打造的「生活指南」,引導她分階段走出傷痛並嘗試新事物:
    • 整理生活: 要求她處理掉他的遺物(除了他最愛的皮衣),讓家裡不再只有悲傷的氣息。
    • 克服恐懼: 鼓勵她克服恐懼,例如上台參加卡拉 OK 比賽。
    • 重拾自我: 引導她找回少女時期的熱情,像是重新開始設計鞋子,並找回工作的自信。
    • 勇敢遠行: 安排荷莉與好友們一起去渡假,讓她重新建立社交生活,並意識到即使傑瑞不在了,她依然擁有家人與朋友的支持。
  • 4. 重新開始
  • 隨著最後一封信在隔年被開啟,荷莉終於學會了如何帶著對傑瑞的愛,勇敢地獨自走下去。她明白雖然傑瑞無法再陪她走完一生,但他留下的愛與勇氣將永遠支持她去探索新的生活與可能性。 這部小說強調的是「學習說再見」的藝術,以及如何在巨大的喪親之痛中,重新定義自己的身分與未來。


在《PS,我愛你》中,「學習說再見」不只是與死者告別,更是一個關於倖存者如何重新定義自我的漫長過程。以下為您整理小說與電影版的主要差異,以及它們如何以不同方式詮釋這個主題:
  • 1. 故事背景與氛圍
    • 小說版(愛爾蘭風情): 故事完全設定在愛爾蘭都柏林。作者西西莉亞·艾亨描寫了非常濃厚的愛爾蘭大家庭情感,透過荷莉與父母、兄弟姊妹之間的糾葛與支持,展現出療傷過程中「親情」的力量。
    • 電影版(美式都會): 將背景搬到了美國紐約曼哈頓,僅在渡假情節中造訪愛爾蘭。電影節奏較快,更像是一部具有美式浪漫風格的都會療傷片,著重於視覺美感與男女主角間的火花。
  • 2. 關於「說再見」的關鍵情節差異
  • 小說與電影在荷莉如何走出陰霾、執行傑瑞遺願的細節上有所不同:
    比較項目 小說原著 (Book) 電影版本 (Movie)
    度假的地點 傑瑞安排荷莉與好友去西班牙度假。 傑瑞安排她們回到兩人的故鄉愛爾蘭。
    與公婆的關係 荷莉與傑瑞的父母關係疏離,甚至曾被粗魯對待。 公婆對荷莉非常慈祥,甚至協助遞交傑瑞最後的信件。
    自我價值的尋找 描寫更多荷莉重拾專業技能(如設計鞋子)的內心轉變。 強調她找到新的生活熱情,以及與新對象(威廉)的曖昧互動。
    信件的傳遞方式 荷莉每月從母親家中或郵寄收到信件。 透過多種驚喜方式出現,如錄音帶、鮮花外送或朋友代轉。
  • 3. 「說再見」的深層意義
    • 面對孤獨的真實感: 小說更細膩地刻畫了荷莉在沒有傑瑞後的「功能失調」,例如她對朋友結婚、懷孕的嫉妒與落寞,這展現了現實中喪親者難以啟齒的陰暗面。
    • 最後一封信的啟示: 電影與小說都強調了同一個核心——傑瑞的信並不是要荷莉永遠記住他,而是要她**「允許自己再次快樂」**。當最後一封信拆開時,真正的再見不是遺忘,而是將對方的愛轉化為前行的動力。
  • 4. 續集消息:真正的告別
  • 值得一提的是,作者在 15 年後推出了續集小說 《附註》(Postscript)。
    • 情節: 故事發生在傑瑞過世 7 年後,荷莉被一群受她故事啟發的「PS 我愛你俱樂部」成員聯繫,希望她能幫助他們為摯愛留下最後的遺言。
    • 意義: 這部續集更深刻地探討了「遺產」的意義——我們留給世界的不只是回憶,還有如何幫助他人面對死亡的勇氣。

從小到大,家裡養過的貓少說也有個七八隻,每隻的個性都不太一樣,天性當然基本上是一樣的,磨爪子、伸懶腰什麼的。故事從貓說起只是方便代入,人對於貓來說其實是種家人的概念,貓也是有社會概念的,但比較偏重於地盤。如果不是同時有很多隻貓的話,對貓來說牠是把飼主當做是家人的。如果是狗狗的話,則是傾向領導的社會概念,也可以說是主人吧。前年送走了老貓,就是頭像這隻,看著閒置的貓砂盆子,怎麼能不難過呢?當然也可以再養一隻,但不想錯置或是替代那樣的情感,寧願留著空白。

《P.S. I Love You》中Gerry留給Holly十封信,應該說是種體貼吧,不該為了記憶中的美好,忽略甚至是拒絕當下眼前的美好。當然這中間的轉換是需要時間沉澱的,因為記憶裡有太多的點點滴滴,很容易就會錯置,那是相當不公平的一件事,不論是對於任何一方來說。兩顆心從相識、相知、相惜一直到只剩下思念,像是春夏秋冬一般無從拒絕。當然也可以用心的體會四季的變換,隱約透露出的是不能陪你到老的遺憾。老貓走的那天,牠拖著無力的身軀,想來到我的腳邊磨蹭,於是跌跌撞撞的撞了我的腳,那是牠僅剩的一絲力氣了。

貓不會說話,但貓是會表達感情的。信末的附註想是怕漏了什麼重要的事吧,這中間的核心指向著家人的概念。家人提醒著冬去春來,只不過是必然的過程,莫教早春逝匆匆。成長的過程中,自知是個愛玩的小孩,但從來不是個壞小孩,也許是對於世間的好奇,總是用心的體會著。常常會有自己對事情的看法,並不是很在乎他人的觀感,不知道這是不是好事,但沒什麼煩惱是真的。雖然不是真的看過《P.S. I Love You》,但我想我不會再問原因,因為我也被啓發了。
