01、Gone With The Wind
(In John Wilkes’ barbecue, Twelve Oaks 1.)
Ashely: Scarlett, who are you hiding from here? What are you up to? Why aren’t you upstairs resting with the other girls? What is it, Scarlett, secret?
Scarlett: Ashley, Ashley, I love you.
Ashely: Scarlett.
Scarlett: I love you, I do.
Ashely: Well, isn’t it enough that you’ve gathered every other man’s heart today? You’ve always had mine, you cut your teeth one it.
Scarlett: Don’t tease 2 me now. Have I your heart, my darling? I love you. I love you.
Ashely: You mustn’t say such things. You’ll hate me for hearing.
Scarlett: I never hate you. I know you must care about me. Oh, you do care, don’t you?
Ashely: Yes, I care. Oh, can’t we go away and forget that we’ve ever said these things?
Scarlett: How can we do that? Don’t you, don’t you want to marry me?
Ashely: I’m going to marry Melanie.
Scarlett: But you care not her as you care for me.
Ashely: Oh, my dear. Why must you make me say things that will hurt you? How can I make you understand? You are so young and unthinking. You don’t know what marriage means.
Scarlett: I know I love you. I want to be your wife. You don’t love Melanie.
Ashely: She’s like me, Scarlett. She’s part of my blood. We understand each other.
Scarlett: But you love me.
Ashely: How could I help you loving you? You are all the passion for life that I lack. But that kind of love is not enough to make a successful marriage for two people who as different as we are.
Scarlett: Why don’t you say you are a coward 3? You are afraid of marrying me. You’d rather live with that little fool who can’t open her mouth except to say “yes” or “no” and raise a 1)pastel of 2)mealy - 3)mouthed 4)brats just like her.
Ashely: You mustn’t say things like that about Melanie.
Scarlett: Who are you to tell me I mustn’t? You led me on. You make me believe you wanted to marry me.
Ashely: Scarlett, be fair. I never ask any time...
Scarlett: You did. It’s true, you did. I’ll hate you till I die. I can’t think of any exact name to call you.
(Ashely leaves. Scarlett throws a vase to the wall in anger. The crashing of the vase startles 4 Rhett. He rises up from the couch 5 in a dark corner of the room.)
Rhett: Has the war started?
Scarlett: Sir, you should make your presence known.
Rhett: In the middle of that beautiful love scene? That wouldn’t be very tactful, would it? But don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.
Scarlett: Sir, you are no gentle-man.
Rhett: And you Miss are no lady. Don’t think I’ll hold that against you. Ladies have never held any charms 6 for me.
Scarlett: But you take a low advantage over me, nearly insult me.
Rhett: I meant it as a compliment 7 and I hope to see more of you when you are free of the spell of this elegant 8 Mr. Wilkes. He doesn’t strike me as half good enough for a girl of your... what was it? “Your passion for living”?
Scarlett: How dare you? You aren’t fit to wipe his boots.
Rhett: Ha... You are going to hate him for the rest of your life. Ha...

01 乱世佳人
（约翰•威尔克斯家的野火会上，十二橡树园。）
阿希礼：斯佳丽，你在躲避谁？你搞什么鬼？为什么不像其他女孩子一样在楼上休息。什么？斯佳丽，有秘密吗？
斯佳丽：阿希礼，我爱你。
阿希礼：斯佳丽。
斯佳丽：我真的很爱你。
阿希礼：呵，你今天获取了不少男士的心，还不满足吗？我的心一直属于你，从小就是这样。
斯佳丽：别再取笑我了。我获取了你的心吗？亲爱的，我爱你，我爱你。
阿希礼：你不该再说，你会恨我听过这话。
斯佳丽：呵，我永远不会恨你。我知道你是在乎我的。你在乎我，是吗？
阿希礼：是的，我在乎。呵，我们走吧！以后忘了这些。
斯佳丽：怎么可以，你不想娶我吗？
阿希礼：我要娶梅兰妮。
斯佳丽：但你不如在乎我般在乎她。
阿希礼：呵，亲爱的，请不要逼我伤害你。我怎样才能让你明白。你年纪小，不懂事。你根本不知道婚姻是什么。
斯佳丽：可我知道我爱你，要成为你的妻子。你是不爱梅兰妮的。
阿希礼：她喜欢我，斯佳丽。她是我生命的一部分。我们彼此了解。
斯佳丽：你是爱我的。
阿希礼：我怎么能不爱你呢？你生命中的那种活泼正是我所缺乏的。但那份爱意并不足以让我们这样两个不同的人结合。
斯佳丽：你为什么不说你是个胆小鬼？你不敢娶我。你宁愿娶那个唯唯诺诺、面色苍白、装腔作势的小丫头也不敢娶我。
阿希礼：请你不要再侮辱梅兰妮。
斯佳丽：轮不到你教我怎么做！是你让我说的，你为什么让我以为你想娶我。
阿希礼：斯佳丽，公道点。我从来没有……
斯佳丽：你有！你就是有！我会一辈子恨你的。我不知道该怎么骂你才好。
（阿希礼离去，斯佳丽恼怒地将一只花瓶扔向墙壁，破碎声惊动了躺在房间昏暗一角的沙发上的瑞德，他坐起身来。）
瑞德：战争开始了吗？
斯佳丽：先生，你不该这样出现的。
瑞德：刚才的一幕爱情戏太美了。可惜没技巧，对吗？放心，我会保守秘密的。
斯佳丽：先生，你真不是君子。
瑞德：小姐，你也不是淑女。别以为我会要挟你，我一向对淑女没兴趣。
斯佳丽：你占我的便宜还侮辱我。
瑞德：我只是想赞赏你，如果你能摆脱对那高贵的阿希礼先生的迷恋，我希望能多了解你一些。在我看来他根本就配不上你。他说什么来着？“你那活泼的生命”？
斯佳丽：岂有此理！你连替他擦靴的资格也没有。
瑞德：哈哈……你真的会恨他一辈子。哈哈……
