《八月迷情》英文观后感-英汉对照

August Rush

“Listen, can you hear? The music. I can hear it everywhere, in the wind, in the air, in the light, it's all around us. All you have to is open yourself up, all you have to do is listen.” This is the beginning of a film which is called August Rush. I saw this film in my class several weeks ago. Believe it or not, it is one of my favourate films now.

The story may sound simple, the truth behind it is remarkable. 11 years ago, Lyla, a renowned and beautiful cellist fell in love with a rock singer Louis at first sight. Since they had different life, they had to separate without seeing each other once again. However, Lyla had had their baby-Evan, a prodigy born to music. Before Lyla gave birth to the baby, she had an accident. Lyla's father gave the baby to an orphanage and lied to her that the baby was dead in case of affecting her career. After that, both Louis and Lyla gave up the music career. 11 years later, the poor little Evan believes that his parents are waiting for him and begins his journey to find his parents. It seems that fate contrives to bring these three people together. Finally, the family get together because of music.

The part impressed me most was when lyla met Louis on the roof for the first time. There are a lot of similarities between these two lonely souls. Both of them are musicians; Both of them are listening; Both of them wanted to get away from the noisy world. Thus, fate pushed them together. They kissed each other. How romantic it is!

That’s why I like this film very muc h: it encourages people to find true love, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important thing is to keep hope forever. Since Evan always believes that his parents are alive and waiting for him, he stick to finding them day by day. It is the main reason why this poor family can get together again. Therefore, even a man can live once, but if he keeps hope and keep on working, then once is enough.

（汉译文）：

八月迷情

“听，你听见了吗？那个音乐，无论到哪我都听得见，它在风里，在空气里，在光线里，它无处不在。你只需敞开自己的心扉。你只需，去聆听。”这是电影《八月迷情》的开头。几个星期前，我看了这部电影。信不信由你，它现在是我最喜欢的电影之一。

故事听起来也许简单，但是故事背后的真理却是不寻常的。11年前，著名美丽的大提琴演奏家莱拉和摇滚歌手路易斯一见钟情。由于他们有着截然不同的生活，他们不得不分离并且再也没有相见。然而，当时莱拉已经怀了他们的孩子——埃文，一个音乐神童。莱拉在生产前出了车祸，莱拉的父亲为了不影响女儿的事业，把孩子送到了孤儿院并且欺骗莱拉说孩子已经死了。此后，路易斯和莱拉都放弃了他们的音乐事业。11年后，可怜的小埃文相信他的父母一直在等他回去，于是他踏上了寻找双亲的旅途。似乎是命运故意将三人安排到了一起。最终，一家人因为音乐团聚在了一起。

我印象最深刻的一段是当莱拉和路易斯在屋顶第一次见面的时候。这两个孤独的人有着许多共同点：他们两个都是音乐家；他们两个都在聆听；他们都想逃离喧嚣的世界。因此，命运把他们推到了一起。他们互相亲吻。真是个浪漫的夜晚。

这是我喜欢这部电影的原因：它鼓励人们寻找真爱；它赞美了生命的美好；最重要的是要永远坚守希望。正是因为埃文一直相信他的父母还活着并且一直在等待他回去，他才坚持日复一日地寻找着他们。这也是这个可怜的家庭能够重新团圆的主要的原因。因此，虽然一个人只能活一次，但是如果他能坚守梦想并且为之努力，那么一次便已经足够。
