长跑的意义

by Fey on January 20, 2010

“Why are you doing this?“  “I just felt like running. “  Forrest Gump answered.­

 

电影《阿甘正传》有一段阿甘跑步横穿美国的情节。当Jenny不告而别,阿甘开始了他长达三年两个月十四天十六小时的长跑。如此漫长的跑,阿甘是如何坚持下来的?­

No particular reason. I just kept on going.­
When I got tired, I slept.­
When I got hunger, I ate.­
When I had to go…you know…I went.­

阿甘的心思特别的单纯,累了就睡,饿了便吃,该跑则跑。就这样,心无旁骛,坚持了三年多。世人就不解了,想问问阿甘跑步的目的是什么。­

Are you doing this for world peace?­
Are you doing this for the homeless?­
Are you running for women’s rights?­
The environmet?­

这倒让阿甘很疑惑了。­

“They just couldn’t  believe that somebody would do all that running for no particular reason.”­

阿甘不能理解世人做事必须要有目的。阿甘跑步仅仅是因为他喜欢跑步(I just felt like running.),而没有外在的目的。跑步只是他抒发自己,表达自己的一种方式。正如画家用图画,诗人用诗句,音乐家用音符来表达自己。可以说,他的行为是由他内心的声音(inner voice)来决定的,他是真正内心自由的人,完全没有被世俗的偏见与功利所污染。而在长跑的途中,阿甘明白了对他来说跑步的意义。­

My mama always said, “You’ve got to put the past behind you before you can move on”. And I think that’s what my running was all about.­

阿甘是我最喜欢的电影人物之一,不只因他那执着的精神。

另:现在这个主题更简洁了。

在阿甘身上能看到很多我们缺乏的品质,是如此的平凡又是如此的不凡。

有的桥段让人看过之后感觉心里有些不是滋味。

我总觉得阿甘正传是一部悲剧,虽然不时有些笑料…

有时候正常的人思考的太多,总要问有什么意义,把简单的事情复杂化了。
