  1992年7月15日，没有喧闹的噪声，没有污浊的空气，没有工作的烦躁。在碧蓝的天空下，一艘游轮正全速向前，它的目的地：Greece，Dodecanese Islands. 在阳光下，抛开所有世俗的烦恼，单纯地享受大自然。可最重要的是，这里只有他们两人，Em，Dex。 一年了，一切似乎都未变化，Em还是孑然一身，有过一段短暂的恋情；而Dex的生活要精彩的多，从Avril，Mary，Sara，Sarah到现在的Ingrid，他的身边从未少过女人。Ingrid是个性感尤物... (更多)

  
  And some days you wake up and everything is perfect.

  1992年7月15日，没有喧闹的噪声，没有污浊的空气，没有工作的烦躁。在碧蓝的天空下，一艘游轮正全速向前，它的目的地：Greece，Dodecanese Islands. 在阳光下，抛开所有世俗的烦恼，单纯地享受大自然。可最重要的是，这里只有他们两人，Em，Dex。

  一年了，一切似乎都未变化，Em还是孑然一身，有过一段短暂的恋情；而Dex的生活要精彩的多，从Avril，Mary，Sara，Sarah到现在的Ingrid，他的身边从未少过女人。Ingrid是个性感尤物，加上身材火辣，对Dex来说，她当然比Em要attractive。

  这是一次十天的旅程，逃出充满束缚的世界，回归生活原有的平静，只是，Em更希望这是一次是朋友间单纯的相聚，而不想其中混杂着一些“复杂”的东西。所谓“复杂”，也许她不愿承认，其实是她对Dex的情感。两个人的独处，充满着未知数。她期望和Dex间存在着最完美的感情，而这种感情，绝对不是爱情。不是她不爱Dex，只是她害怕去爱，Dex生性风流，Em明白，只有这种细水长流的友情才可以将Dex留在她的身边，她所追求的，绝对不是占有。为了保住这份纯真，她选择和Dex约法三章:

  No.1 Separate bedrooms

  N0.2 No flirting

  No.3 No funny business

  No.4 No nudity clause

  No.5 No Scrabble

  在Em的这份坚持下，Dex万般无奈地同意了她所谓的RULES。（对Dex来说，只要是她说的，他都会义无反顾的答应，这一点，我很感动。）

  第二天的清早，still underneath the sunshine. Em and Dex静静地坐着看书，Dex手拿Lolita，Em推荐的，而Em则专心于The Idiot。一如既往的，Dex首先失去了耐心，他叹了口气，Em放下书。。。之后，话题又回到了最初他们的梦想上，Dex曾说过他想变得“Famous”，在23岁。

  如今他成为了TV Present，成为了万人熟知的名人，他却对现在的生活感到失望，比起成名，26岁的他现在只想拥有自由，私人的空间，如今的梦想，是成为一名记者。我很惊讶，Dex其实不快乐，虽然他并不愿意承认，我更认为他需要的是Em带给他的那份平静，质朴。

  到达终点，面对着Em的Rule No.1，他还是选择了One Bedroom（偷偷地），Em没有多说什么（也许，她心里都明白）

  之后的几天，云淡风轻。海滩，酒吧，两个人度过了对他们来说最美好的时光。This Chapter's Climax Is Coming。。。

  夜幕下，坐在酒吧里，Dex提议玩点刺激的游戏（Don't get me wrong, Just 真心话大冒险），Emma欣然同意。可是两人的心都不平静。

  他本可以告诉她，在房间里他看着她换衣服；他本可以告诉她，洗澡时故意把门打开；他本可以告诉她，他曾经和Naomi吸食过海洛因；他本可以告诉她，他和她的室友曾经有过一次。。。只是这些他都没有说，因为在Em的心里，他不想留下自己狼狈，龌龊，和充满阴影的记忆。

  她本可以告诉他，她在他洗澡时看着他；她本可以告诉他，她知道他和室友的那一次；她本可以告诉他，在1983年她曾经在她的房间里亲过别人。。。同样地，这些她也没说。

  最后他说，在一次派对上，曾经和一个男人离开。但他发誓什么也没做。她相信他。

  最后她说，早在她第一次见到他时，她就已经暗恋他了。他说他知道。

  在共度了8天后，他和她背对着，没有相拥，只是像两条平行线般地躺着。她对他说晚安，他应着，当他对她说晚安的时候，她已经熟睡了，没有防备的。她原以为今晚一定是个不眠之夜，可是，有Dex在身边，是那么安心。梦里，她可以对Dex说她爱他，梦里她永远不会失去他。

  8天里他们做过的事：

  1.在一个房间一张床上睡觉

  2.海滩上，让他抹上防晒油

  3.在河里游泳，没有穿衣服

  4.告诉他她曾暗恋他

  他们打破了Rule No.1, Rule No.2 and Rule No.4.。。。至于Rule No.5,谁知道呢，There's always Tomorrow!

  Just as he thought, Almost anything could happen in eight days. (收起)

  Chapter 23 the third anniversary, last summer, sunday 15 July 2007

  牛牛 (Carpe Diem)

  He put one hand lightly on the back of her neck, and simultaneously she placed one hand lightly on his hip, and they kissed in the street as all around them people hurried home in the summer light, and it was the sweetest kiss that either of them would ever know.

  He put one hand lightly on the back of her neck, and simultaneously she placed one hand lightly on his hip, and they kissed in the street as all around them people hurried home in the summer light, and it was the sweetest kiss that either of them would ever know. This is where it all begins. Everything starts here, today. And then it was over. ' So I'll see you around ,' he said, walking slowly backwards away from her. 'I hope so,' she smiled. 'And I hope so too, bye, em' 'bye, dex'

  Finally finish this book! I love the last three chapters, flashing back and forth between the very first day when Em entered Des's life and how Em still lived in Dex after her passing away. No matter how reality teared them away from each other in the following decade, it just made the very first day more beatiful, sincere, truthful and purer from the heart.

  Fear of the future, she thought. She found herself at the imposing junction of George Street and Hanover Street as all around her people hurried home from work or out to meet friends or lovers, all with a sense of purpose and direction. And here she was, twenty-two and clueless and sloping back to a dingy flat, defeated once again. What are you going to do with your life? In one way or another it seemedthat people had been asking her this forever, teachers, her parents, friends at three in the morning, but the question had never seemed this pressing and still she was no nearer an answer.

  Well this paragraph just reminds of what i am now. (收起)

  Chapter 1 The Future

  Carefree-girl

  

  说起来很惭愧，花了二十几天时间才看完了the future这一章，看来我的英语水平的确有待加强啊。。。。 全书共21章，而我才刚刚完成这一章的阅读。而之所以会这么慢，也是因为这一章至关重要，我必须要做到“每字必争”。很庆幸地是，在不厌其烦的查遍几乎所有单词后，终于，这个感人至深的爱情故事的两个主角：Emma,Dexter在我的眼前留下了初步但也还算完整的印象。我要说的是，几乎和我想的完全一样。 首先来说，Emma，她是.. (更多)

  说起来很惭愧，花了二十几天时间才看完了the future这一章，看来我的英语水平的确有待加强啊。。。。

  全书共21章，而我才刚刚完成这一章的阅读。而之所以会这么慢，也是因为这一章至关重要，我必须要做到“每字必争”。很庆幸地是，在不厌其烦的查遍几乎所有单词后，终于，这个感人至深的爱情故事的两个主角：Emma,Dexter在我的眼前留下了初步但也还算完整的印象。我要说的是，几乎和我想的完全一样。

  首先来说，Emma，她是一个害羞，不太自信但具有明确而又坚定理想的大学毕业生。家里不算富裕，但梦想着自己可以付出努力取得成功。在和Dexter的相处中，虽然她羞赧却还是表现出很沉稳的模样去问Dex“when they are forty years old...."(在这一点上，我觉得和她有些相似，在这种社交上确实不甚擅长）。还有，Em已经在这一刻爱上了放荡不羁的Dex，确切地说，早在四年前某次party上，也就是1984年，她就已经开始have a crush on DEX!!!!!!!!。在1988年7月15这个夜晚，Em and Dex 真正相遇了。告别了“You may have looked but you have never seen." 就这样，他们相拥睡了一晚，没有意乱情迷的时刻，只是这样，没有逾越。再次醒来已是凌晨，窗外的鸟儿叽叽喳喳地宣布着清晨的到来。Em开始和Dex畅谈理想，从”change something“到”forty years old"。即使Dex不理解艾玛那么多远大的理想，Em还是想挽留Dex，因为今日的离别也许永远都不会再见。于是，no snuggle ,no smooch ,just cuddle. 直到a brand new day的开始。

  Dex，他就是个不折不扣的playboy。家里富裕，23岁的他没有远大理想，没有目标，只是享受他年轻的生命。当时的他，只是被眼前这个单纯的女孩迷住，但绝对没有真心地去爱她（Poor Em!!!!!!!),最初，他的留下，只是想和她亲热，这也只是他无数次艳遇中最平凡的一次，没有灯红酒绿，没有纸醉金迷，有了只是眼前这个清纯的女孩，朴素的房间，和一张单人床。他留下了，虽然脑海中有无数次要走的打算，可是他告诉她他会留下。于是最平凡的Emma给他留下了最不平凡的印象。

  以上就是全部第一章所展示的内容，当然David Nicholls安排的很巧妙，他没有直接地描写Em和Dex，而是通过他们的眼睛去看，去感受对方。最终，给我们展现了一个可爱，单纯，害羞的Emma，和一个不羁，潇洒的Dex。我真的觉得这两个人很可爱，尤其是Emma。这就是我前一月的成果。（我会努力地提高英语水平，早日完成后面章节的阅读！Vamos！！！！！！）

  He watched the smoke curl from his mouth. Feeling for an ashtray, he found a book at the side of the bed. THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, spine creased at the 'erotic' bits. The problem with these fiercely individualistic girls was that they were all exactly the same. Another book: THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT. Silly bloody fool, he thought, confident that it was not a mistake he would ever make.

  The problem with these fiercely individualistic girls was that they were all exactly the same?? Is it Dex's view or the author's? Are we?? >< (收起)
