紐約婚禮見(jiàn)聞（二）

能在紐約參加一個(gè)原汁原味的異國(guó)婚禮，真的是件讓人興奮的事。對(duì)我這個(gè)在過(guò)去幾年間，參加友人婚禮無(wú)數(shù)、審美極度疲勞的人來(lái)說(shuō)，閏蜜婚禮最打動(dòng)我的地方，是那些參加婚禮的人們，和這些人們?cè)诓唤?jīng)意間營(yíng)造襯托出的美好氛圍。

記得之前參加的幾場(chǎng)同學(xué)的婚禮，大多更像老同學(xué)聚餐敘舊。熱鬧的感覺(jué)是有，但關(guān)注的力度不夠。很多人大因?yàn)樵S久未見(jiàn)，湊在一起盡忙著互通有無(wú)，暢談各自的工作理想了。于是那本該最受眾人關(guān)注的，新郎新娘的情感故事，我猜很多人都稀里湖涂地錯(cuò)過(guò)了。

我喜歡的婚禮，應(yīng)該是該熱鬧的時(shí)候熱鬧，該專(zhuān)注的時(shí)候?qū)Ｗⅲ瑒?dòng)靜皆宜，就像閏蜜的婚禮那樣。注意觀察了一下，來(lái)賓還真是個(gè)個(gè)“服從命令聽(tīng)指揮”。司儀一聲令下，人家是該“群魔亂舞”的時(shí)候“群魔亂舞”，該靜心聆聽(tīng)的時(shí)候靜心聆聽(tīng)，該潸然淚下的時(shí)候潸然淚下，怎叫一個(gè)“乖”字了得啊!

氛圍的神秘功效便在于，它可以暗中操控人們的小宇宙。讓所有人的注意國(guó)力，都能在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)刻聚集在目標(biāo)人身上，不可能跑偏半步，讓所有人的感官系統(tǒng)，都能在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)刻為目標(biāo)人物而運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，絕不會(huì)喧賓奪主。上次為大家隆重介紹了榮譽(yù)伴郎史蒂芬先生。這次輪到二號(hào)重要人物——榮譽(yù)伴娘羅瑞小姐出場(chǎng)了。

羅瑞是新娘的小姑子，一個(gè)熱情奔放的美國(guó)女孩。婚宴上她的祝酒詞一度讓在場(chǎng)N多人小淚灑餐點(diǎn)桌。

沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到羅瑞之前，所有人都說(shuō)她是開(kāi)心果。沒(méi)想到一向大大咧咧、快樂(lè)無(wú)憂(yōu)的她，也有如此多愁善感的一面。入場(chǎng)之前跟我偷偷學(xué)說(shuō)“迎接嫂子進(jìn)門(mén)”的中文時(shí)，她分明還滿(mǎn)臉俏皮笑容、信誓旦旦說(shuō)自己已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備就緒了呢。誰(shuí)知到了現(xiàn)場(chǎng)發(fā)言時(shí)，她還沒(méi)說(shuō)兩句話(huà)，淚水的閘門(mén)就徹底失去控制，演講也一度因聲音哽咽而無(wú)法繼續(xù)。多可愛(ài)的美國(guó)女孩兒啊，我在心中不住地贊美。從不掩飾自己的真情實(shí)感，笑就笑得陽(yáng)光燦爛，哭就哭個(gè)暢快淋漓，愛(ài)就愛(ài)得死去活來(lái)(這一點(diǎn)是經(jīng)過(guò)具體事例證實(shí)的，無(wú)數(shù)人可以作證)。

之前看祝酒詞的時(shí)候，史蒂芬同學(xué)的文字遠(yuǎn)比羅瑞的更打動(dòng)我。不過(guò)照現(xiàn)場(chǎng)形勢(shì)看來(lái)，羅瑞的祝酒詞似乎更有沖擊力。果然語(yǔ)言就是力量啊!她的一席話(huà)好像催淚瓦斯，所及之處眾人無(wú)一“幸免”。我一邊抹著眼淚，一邊環(huán)顧四周。坐在我們桌的都是軸心人物：新郎新娘的父母那時(shí)必定是百感交集。眼看著自己的寶貝兒女轉(zhuǎn)眼長(zhǎng)大成人，漸漸脫離他們的保護(hù)傘，自然是又欣慰又不舍的。再加上羅瑞的“重磅炸彈”推波助瀾，他們不淚如雨下才怪。繼續(xù)推移目光，新郎的幾個(gè)姨奶奶，也是激動(dòng)得淚光閃閃，不時(shí)掏出紙巾擦拭眼淚。哭得最傷心的要屬新郎外婆的男朋友 那位紳士風(fēng)度十足的教書(shū)先后了。按說(shuō)他第一次被帶來(lái)出席家庭聚會(huì)，和大家尤其是新人還不算很熟。這悲傷到底從何而來(lái)呢？我猜不是多愁善感惹的禍。

在情感泛濫的這一刻，相信在場(chǎng)每個(gè)人都如我一樣，心中總有股莫名的情緒在升騰。讓我們一起感受語(yǔ)言的力量……

原聲重現(xiàn)

I don`t quite know how I`m going to tollowwhat the best man said， but I`II give it a try. I wantto start by congratulating Enik and Ling， and thanking a11 of you for coming here today. Ling， I havenever seen a more bcautiful bride. You look abso-lutely stunning and you truly are my princess.

They say you don`t marry SOmmeone you can livewith - you marry the prson who you cannot livewithout. I am certain that this holds true with Erikand Ling When I look at the both of you， I see twopeple who complete one another. I guess you couldsay that you were the missing puzzle picces in eachother`s lives. I see the way Enik looks at you and itis so obvious how much he adores you. The way hetreats you mirrors the way he treats my mother.She is the only woman in the world next to you，that Enik truly cherishes. You are everything to himand I know that he will forever treasure your love.

Ling， before I met you 1 remember inquiringabout Enrik`s “new girlfiend” to my parents. Theywere so incredibly happy that he was dating someoneso beautiful inside and out， But， it was not until Isaw the way you treated my brother as well as theway you treated our famity， that I realized howunbelievably special you are. Since the very beginming，you have always opened your heart to us and havemade a point of getting to know us all. I always tookmotice of all the times you would sit in the livingroom with lily parents and talk to them even whenErik wasn`t around.

I remember being very enviousof Enik and thinking to myself how lucky he was tohave such an extraordinary girlfriend. I always hopedthat I could find somebody who would fit in with myfamily as well as you have and I think I have finallyfound that person.

鎖定譯文

不知道怎樣才能和榮譽(yù)伴郎的致詞統(tǒng)一風(fēng)格，讓我盡力試試吧。我想以對(duì)艾瑞克和凌凌的祝福作為開(kāi)場(chǎng)白，并向所有到場(chǎng)的來(lái)賓表示感謝。真沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)比凌凌更美麗的新娘。親愛(ài)的，你看上去光彩奪目，真是我的公主啊。

人們常說(shuō)，結(jié)婚不選可以和你一起生活的人，而是要選缺了他你就無(wú)法過(guò)活的人。我堅(jiān)信，艾瑞克和凌凌就是如此。每次看著你們，就像看到一個(gè)完美的融合體。我想你們大概會(huì)說(shuō)，你們是彼此生命中遺失的那塊拼圖，少了彼此生活就不會(huì)完整。凌凌，我看到艾瑞克看你的眼神，便能讀出他到底有多疼愛(ài)你。他對(duì)待你的方式，和他對(duì)我媽媽如出一轍。因?yàn)閶寢屖沁@個(gè)世界上，除你以外唯一被他珍視的女子。你就是艾瑞克的一切，我相信哥哥一定會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)視你為珍寶，對(duì)你愛(ài)護(hù)有加的。

凌凌，我還記得在見(jiàn)到你之前，我向父母問(wèn)起過(guò)有關(guān)哥哥“新女友”的情況。看到哥哥和一個(gè)才貌雙全的女孩談戀愛(ài)，我爸媽別提有多開(kāi)心了。我對(duì)你的真正認(rèn)識(shí)，還并非來(lái)自他們盼描述。是在看到你對(duì)待哥哥和我們?nèi)胰说姆绞街螅也虐l(fā)現(xiàn)你是多么與眾不同的。從一開(kāi)始，你就對(duì)我們敞開(kāi)心扉，試著了解我們每一個(gè)人。我注意到，每次你都會(huì)到客廳里陪我的父母聊天，即使艾瑞克不在的時(shí)候也是如此。我甚至有些嫉妒艾瑞克。常在想，他是何等幸運(yùn)才擁有一個(gè)像你這樣棒的女朋友。我總希望自己也樣，可以和我家人和睦相處的人。所幸的是，我終于找到了那個(gè)人。

While Erik was earning his MBA， you demonstrated that you arc a strong， loyal and dedicatedwoman who is willing to travcl tirclcssly back andforth between Jersev and Pittsburgh for the sake offeve. You evcn movcd your entire lilo to Texas lastsummer when Erik was offerd a great job opportunity.I think most people would agree that “l(fā)ove” isbeout being able to put the happiness of others beforeyour own. that is exactly what you have done for my brother and I am so proud to call you my sisterfor my entire life，I have always wanted a sisterand now I finally have one to call my own， Youpossess every quality that I have always wanted in asister. From your kind words and thoughtfulness toyour heart lf gold... I love everything about you. Itis no wonder why my brother chose you to spendthe rest lf his life with.

With that being said，let me be the first to saywelcome to the family! In chinese，it gocs likc this:Huanying Jiaru Wo Jis...

Please raise your glasses while I toast to mybrother and his wife:

Take each day and cherish your time together.Love one another and stand together.Take time totalk to one another，put your love and your familyfirst， your Job and hobbies second. May your lovebe like the wind，strong enorgh to move the cloudssoft enough to never hurt，but always never ending?

so，here`s love，laughter，and happily everafter.

艾瑞克在攻讀工商管理碩士學(xué)位時(shí)，你用行動(dòng)證實(shí)了自己是個(gè)多么堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、忠誠(chéng)又有奉獻(xiàn)精神的女孩兒。為了愛(ài)，你總是樂(lè)此不疲地奔走于澤兩市和匹茲堡兩地之間。去年夏天艾瑞克畢業(yè)后，在德州獲得了一個(gè)很好的工作機(jī)會(huì)。你又在兩人面臨分離兩地的情況下，為了愛(ài)，追隨他搬到那里。我想大多數(shù)人都會(huì)認(rèn)同這種說(shuō)法：愛(ài)就是把對(duì)方的幸福看得比自己的幸福還重要。你正是這樣對(duì)待我哥哥的，我真為能擁有你這樣的姐妹而感到自豪。

從小到大，我一直期待能有一個(gè)姐姐。而現(xiàn)在我終于找到她了。你完全符合我夢(mèng)想中那個(gè)姐姐應(yīng)有的所有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：你溫柔體貼、善解人意，有一顆金子般的心……親愛(ài)的，連我都愛(ài)上了你，愛(ài)你的全部，難怪哥哥會(huì)選擇你共度此生了。

說(shuō)到這里，就讓我來(lái)做第一個(gè)對(duì)你說(shuō)“歡迎加入我們這個(gè)大家庭”的人吧。用漢語(yǔ)表示為：歡迎加入我家。

在我向哥哥嫂子敬酒的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)大家和我一同舉杯：

愿你們珍惜相守的每一天。永浴愛(ài)河、同舟共濟(jì)。愿你們把多一點(diǎn)時(shí)間用于彼此溝通傾訴。把愛(ài)和家庭放在第‘位，把工作和喜好披在第二位。愿你們的愛(ài)像風(fēng)一樣，強(qiáng)勁得足以撥開(kāi)烏云、驅(qū)趕陰霾，溫柔得不會(huì)帶來(lái)絲毫傷害，直到地老天荒、海枯石爛。

干杯，祝你們的生活?lèi)?ài)意滿(mǎn)盈、歡樂(lè)無(wú)限、幸福美滿(mǎn)。
