【电影推荐】：杯酒人生

                
                
我们常常寓茶如人生，三起三落，先苦而后甜。葡萄酒也是有生命的，亦如人生，从青涩到圆润，越成越香，直至巅峰，再走向衰败。但这并不意味着生命的滑铁卢，只是另一种生活的开始，正视并泰然处之，方能柳暗花明。
《杯酒人生》没有明星的阵容、没有考究的摄影技巧，没有夺人耳目的声色刺激，给人的是一种亲切与真实，我们不都在酒的芬芳和气质中沉醉、成长、成熟、然后慢慢老去吗？
【精彩对白欣赏 1】：
Miles Raymond: Let me show you how this is done. First thing, hold the glass up and examine the wine against the light. You're looking for color and clarity. Just, get a sense of it. OK? Uhh,thick? Thin? Watery? Syrupy? OK? Alright. Now, tip it. What you're doing here is checking for color density as it thins out towards the rim. Uhh,that's gonna tell you how old it is, among other things. It's usually more important with reds. OK? Now, stick your nose in it. Don't be shy, really get your nose in there. Mmm... a little citrus... maybe some strawberry...
迈尔斯：让我演示给你该怎么做。首先，举起酒杯逆光观察葡萄酒，注意酒的颜色和清澈度。只是感觉一下，好么？是醇厚还是淡薄？是水性还是浆性？然后把杯子倾斜，检查酒的颜色的浓度。因为酒液在接近杯口时的颜色会变浅，便于辨别，就此你会得知酒的年份，对于红酒这是很重要的。现在，把鼻子伸到杯子里。别害羞，把鼻子放进去。嗯，少许柑橘味道……可能还有些草莓味道……
 
【精彩对白欣赏 2】：
Maya: Can I ask you a personal question, Miles?
玛雅：迈尔斯，我能问你个私人问题吗？
　　
Miles: Sure.
迈尔斯：当然。
　　
Maya: Why are you so into Pinot? I mean it's like a thing with you.
玛雅：你为什么这么喜欢黑皮诺葡萄酒？我的意思是它就像你生命中的一部分？
　　
Miles: Uh, I don't know, I don't know. Uh, it's a hard grape to grow. As you know, right? So, it's thin-skin, temperamental, ripens early, that's… You know, it's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it's neglected. No, Pinot needs constant care attention. You know, and in fact it can only grow in these really specific little tucked away corners of the world. And, and only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. And, then I mean, its flavor is just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and ancient on the planet. No, I mean, you know Cabernets can be powerful and exalting too, but they seem prosaic to me, by comparison, I don't know, I don't know. What about you?
迈尔斯：呃……我不知道，我不知道……这种葡萄很难生长。你很清楚，对吧？皮薄，脆弱，成熟得早，不像赤霞珠这么能适应环境，到处都能生长，即使放任不管它也能长得很好。但是黑皮诺需要随时悉心照顾，事实上，它只能生长在某些特殊的隐秘的角落，只有最具耐心和爱心的种植人才能做到，真的。只有那些肯花时间发掘黑皮诺潜力的人才能发挥其完美至极致。然后……是吧……它的口感颇具诱惑，细微而变化多端，让人回味无穷。它也是一个古老的品种。虽说赤霞珠也很强劲，令人愉悦，但对于我来说它却平淡无奇。我是说比较起来的话，我也不知道。那么你呢？
　　
Maya: What about me?
玛雅：我什么？
　　
Miles: I don't know why you are in the wine?
迈尔斯：我不知道你为什么喜欢葡萄酒？ 　　
Maya: Oh, I, I think I, I originally got into wine through my ex-husband. You know he has a big show-off cellar, you know. But then I discovered that I had really a sharp palette. The more I drank, the more I liked what it made me think about.
玛雅：我想，一开始，是因为我前夫。你知道他有一个很大很炫的酒窖。 但是后来我发现我有很敏锐的味蕾，自己很能品酒。我喝得越多，它越能启发我。
　　
Miles: Like what?
迈尔斯：比如什么？ 　　
Maya: What a fraud he was. No, I mean, I like to think about the life of wine.
玛雅：他是多么虚伪的人。不，我是说我喜欢沉思与葡萄酒相关的一生。　　
 
Miles: Yeah?
迈尔斯：是吗？
　　
Maya: How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing, how the sun was shining; if it rained? I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve. Like if I opened a bottle of wine today, it would taste different than if I opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine has actually alive. And it's constantly evolving, in gaining complexity that is until its peaks, like your sixty-one. And then it begins it's steady, inevitable, decline. And it tastes so good.
玛雅：它是有生命的。我喜欢去想葡萄生长时，阳光如何照耀；下雨时，又会怎样？我喜欢去想那些种植和采葡萄的人。如果是陈年的酒，那些人可能已经死去了。我喜欢的变幻无穷。比如我今天开一瓶，尝起来一定和其他任何一天打开都不一样。因为一瓶酒事实上也有生命的，随时在改变，变得更复杂，直到颠峰，就像你 61 年的酒，之后会稳定，然后无不避免的衰退。那是，它喝起来一定很棒。
