Types of Story Endings故事結(jié)局的類型

Hamid: I just finished a really good book. I thought the characters were headed toward atragic ending, but there was a twist near the end, and everything turned out well. It was sosatisfying!

我剛剛看完了一本非常好的書。我本以為故事中的人物會有一個悲慘的結(jié)局，但接近尾聲情節(jié)發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)折，一切都變得很好。這是太讓人滿意了!

Rachel: It sounds sappy to me.

對我來說這聽起來挺多愁善感。

Hamid: It wasn’t sappy at all. It was just a happy ending. I know what you like. You like thosedisaster movies with catastrophic endings where everyone dies.

這并不是多愁善感，這只是一個美好的結(jié)局。我知道你喜歡什么。你喜歡那些災(zāi)難電影，結(jié)局都是很悲慘，每個人都會死去。

Rachel: At least that would be more realistic than everyone living happily ever after. I just sawthe series finale of my favorite TV show. You know what they did? They ended the series with acliffhanger. Nothing was resolved.

至少那比從此以后每個人生活都很幸福要現(xiàn)實。我只是看到了我最喜愛的電視節(jié)目的系列結(jié)局。你知道他們做了什么?他們用緊張帶有懸念的情節(jié)結(jié)束了。沒有什么是永恒不變的。

Hamid: That’s horrible! How could they leave people hanging like that? Weren’t you just a littlemad?

這太可怕了!他們怎么能那樣留下懸念呢?你是不是有點瘋狂?

Rachel: No, I wasn’t. The ending stayed true to the spirit of the show. It was a dark show andthe ending was equally dark.

沒有，我沒有。結(jié)局忠實于節(jié)目的精神。這是一個灰色節(jié)目，結(jié)局同樣是黑暗的。

Hamid: Well, I bet they ended the series that way so they could make a movie sequel.

嗯，我敢打賭，他們用哪種方式結(jié)束了系列，就可以拍一部電影的續(xù)集。

Rachel: Yeah, maybe, but I don’t care either way. Life doesn’t end neatly and neither should agood story.

也許是，但我不關(guān)心任何一種方式。生活并沒有結(jié)束，好故事也不該結(jié)束。

Hamid: Remind me never to read any stories you write or any movies you make!

提醒我永遠不要讀你寫的故事或你拍的任何電影!

head toward 前往 ever after 從那以后 either way 總之
