瑪麗蓮·夢露，多數人成長過程中都或多或少見過她那些著名的照片，并記憶深刻：那張穿着白色裙子在紐約大街上，裙子被地下熱氣吹得張開了喇叭的黑白照；那張面對鏡頭两眼微阖、双唇微翘的、在沙发上裸露那雙美腿的……这些照片成了一種特殊情感的傳達，一種純真性感的定格。對幾代人來說，夢露就像這些照片，是永恒的定格。1962年8月5日，她在洛杉磯Brentwood寓所的臥室內被發現時已經香消玉殞，得年36歲，死因是過量服用安眠藥。許多人會認為她的一生是場悲劇，甚至認為這位性感尤物為許多男生帶來「麻煩」，其實瑪麗蓮夢露不是個只擁有身材的花瓶明星，另一方面，她其實是一位充滿智慧和個性的女性。 'I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.'我自私、沒有耐心，甚至有點缺乏安全感。我是個容易失控的人，但如果你沒辦法理解最差的我，你壓根兒別想得到最好的我。 'What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course'我在床上穿什麼？我只「穿」香奈兒No.5香水。'Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?'如果生活是地獄，那一切的難題是不是都有了答案？ 'Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.'追求男女平等的女生，只不過是個缺乏抱負的女生。'Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.'擁有一雙合適的鞋子，女孩就可以駕馭這世界。 'Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature.'性是天性的一部分，而我服從天性。The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.'身體本來就是拿來看，而不是拿來遮遮掩掩。'I read poetry to save time.'我讀詩，留住美好時光。 'I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.'我相信任何事都不會無故發生。人們會改變，所以我們要學會釋懷；事情會出錯，所以我們對生活要心存感激；因為有謊言，所以我們學會只相信自己！而事情變壞，可能是有更好的事情等著我們。 'I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.'我並不是賺錢機器，我只是想要讓自己更完美。'I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.'我千真萬確是個女人，我享受我有的一切。 'Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.'在濃妝豔抹和笑容下的我，也只是個眺望世界的女孩。'It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.'縱使世界對你的認識與性感上等號，但總比默默無名來得好。'We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.'我們每一個人都是閃耀的星，而我們都該為自己發光。 'I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.'我從來不愚弄別人，我只是讓他們自己哄騙自己！他們根本不在意真實的我，相反的，他們只是愛上一個他們幻想出來的瑪麗蓮夢露。'All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.'每個小女孩都該被稱讚是漂亮的天使，即使是用謊言。'If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.'如果你能讓女孩發自內心的開懷大笑，那你就已經擁有她了！'I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!'我不知道是誰發明高跟鞋，但全世界的女生都應該感謝他。 'I love to do the things the censors won't pass.'我喜歡無法被理解的事情。'I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.'我不介意身處在全都是男孩的世界裡，只要我可以繼續當個女孩就夠了。'My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress, I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!'我沒有想過我會是個一流的女演員，我知道自己的實力在哪，我並不是天生好手。但，天啊！我是如此渴望學習，如此想要改變，如此追求進步。'A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.'聰明的女孩吻而不愛，聽而不信，在被劈腿前會先變心。
'I've been on a calendar, but never on time.' 我是個月曆，但從來不曾準時。 (我是個跳脫時代的月曆。)'Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.'好萊塢是一個願意用大把銀子買你的吻，但卻不願意花50分買你靈魂的地方！'Dogs never bite me. Just humans.'我不曾被狗咬，咬我的都是人。'I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. '我依然是有感覺的，我也是一個渴望被愛被珍惜的人。
'Who said nights were for sleep?'.是誰說晚上是睡覺的時間？'I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.'我屬於人群，我屬於世界，不是因為我的姿色，也不是因為我的才華，而是因為我從來不屬於任何人，從來沒有人真正擁有我！'It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.'有某個人，你只需要跟他相處就夠了！你可以不用有任何接觸，甚至不需要言語，一種之間的感應交流，就足夠讓你感受到暖暖的幸福。'Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside'.'男孩認為女孩是本書，如果封面沒辦法吸引目光，他們根本連翻都不想翻。 |
