《爱在记忆消失前》：执子之手，向死而生

周末看了一部很平实，却让我特别感动的剧情片，改编自同名小说的The leisure seeker, 中文译名是《爱在记忆消失前》。

Leisure是闲暇时间的意思，the leisure seeker是一对身患重症、逃离家庭去旅游的老夫妻给他们开的房车起的名字。

男主人公John患有阿兹海默症，记忆越来越差，甚至连自己孩子的名字都记不起来，但作为一个海明威的死忠粉，却一直记得海明威书里的句子。

女主角是他的妻子Ella，是一名英语文学教授，癌症晚期，却一直希望能实现丈夫的梦想，到海明威的故乡去。

But they enjoy the journey very much. They recapture their passion for life, and their love for each other...

英语文本：

“The sad truth is, John and I and the kids only took Route 66 once on our trips to Disneyland. Our family, like the rest of America, succumbed to the lure of faster highways, more direct routes, higher speed limits. We forgot about taking the slow way. It makes you wonder if something inside us knows that our lives are going to pass faster than we could ever realize.” 

“一个悲伤的事实是，John和我还有孩子们只自驾过66号公路一次，为了去迪士尼乐园。我们一家，就像其他的美国人一样，屈服于更快的高速公路，更多捷径，更高的限速。但我们忘了去享受慢生活。这让我想到，我们内心深处是否知道，我们的生命其实过得比我们想象中的快得多。”

“It doesn’t upset me to think about dying. What upsets me is the idea of John being alone…The idea of one of us without the other.”

“想到死亡并没有让我难过，让我难过的是想到John独自一人，还有想到我们中的一个失去了另一个。”
