  遇到过的最大催泪弹电影,最后半小时简直哭得停不下来。
  眼泪,不是为老天爷给了Hazel和Gus疾病,而是为他们在有限生命中或许得到了我们终其一生都无法得到的感悟。
  这不仅仅是一部青春爱情电影,更多的是青年人关于生命的哲学思辨。
  
  影片中,从始至终有一个穿起主线的灵魂人物,VanHouten。
  Hazel和Hus,是因为VanHouten的书而成为知己,也因为对  VanHouten再次露面是在Gus的葬礼上,尽管Hazel并没有耐心听他说话,但他仍然抛出了第二个问题:关于铁轨的哲学问题。
  
  
  1.关于与乌龟赛跑的问题
  
  Let's imagine you're racing a tortoise. The tortoise has a ten-yard head start. In the time it takes you to run ten yards the tortoise has moved maybe one yard, and so on, forever.You're faster than the tortoise, but you can never catch him, you see? You can only decrease his lead. Now, certainly, you can run past the tortoise as long as you don't contemplate the mechanics involved. But the question of "how?" turns out to be so complicated that no one really solved it until Cantor's proof that some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
  
  我们想像一下,你和乌龟赛跑,乌龟在你前面十码的地方起跑,当你跑过这十码,乌龟又向前爬了一码,总是如此。你比它跑得快,但永远也追不上它,只能无限缩短你们之间的距离。真实赛跑中你可以直接跑到乌龟前面,那是因为没有考虑其中涉及的原理,但你是怎么做到的?这个问题实际上很复杂,没人能回答,直到康托尔证明了有些无穷比别的无穷更大。
  
  如何理解有一些无限比另一些无限更大?这个命题由Hazel自己解答了。她在给Gus的悼词中给出了自己的答案:
  
  There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I’m likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful.
  
  在0和1之间有无穷多个数字,有0.1, 0.12 ,0.112,还有无穷多其他数字的集合。当然,在0和2之间还有一个更大的集合,0到100万亦是如此。“有些无穷比别的无穷更大”。这是一个我们曾经喜欢过的作家教我们的。知道吗,我还能拥有的日子,我希望更多。还有,上帝啊,我但愿奥古斯塔斯?沃特斯仅有的日子也能更多。但是,格斯,我的爱,我无法告诉你,我们小小的无穷,让我多么感激。你在有限的日子里,给了我永远,为此我……我感激不尽。
  
  -生命是一个定值,对于健康人而言,预期值可能是80,但对于罹患癌症的Hazel和Gus而言,预期值可能只是25。
  -80年和25年相比当然包含更多无限,但绝不能忘记的是25本身也是一个无限。
  -当然你预期25之后,还能有26、27、28……但是,当25中的每一年、每一周、每一天、每一小时、每一分、每一秒乃至每一个无限小的瞬间,你都体验到了生命的跃动,体验了所有最美好的东西,那25所承载的无限和80所承载的无限并无不同。
  -Hazel明白了有一些无限比另一些无限大,但小的无限也是无限。她通过这小小的无限找到了生命的慰藉,与Gus一起体验了生命的美好。
  
  2.关于铁轨的问题
  铁轨问题是一个经典伦理问题。题面很简单:
  有一个地方有两条铁轨,一条还在使用,一条已经停用。有5个小孩在铁轨边玩耍。只有一个小朋友选择在停用的铁轨上玩,其它的小朋友全都在仍在使用的铁轨上玩。很不巧的,火车来了(火车当然在正在使用的铁轨上行驶),而你正站在铁轨的切换器旁,你能让火车转往停用的铁轨。这样的话你就可以救5个小朋友;但是那名在停用铁轨上的小朋友将被牺牲。你会怎么办?
  
  -1个小孩是遵守规则的,5个小孩是不遵守规则的。
  -你能够掌控他们的命运。
  -是选择牺牲1个小孩,还是5个小孩?
  
  关于这个命题,电影没有给出直接的答案。如果说追赶乌龟的问题,让Hazel和Gus想清楚了,如何感知生命的无限性。那铁轨问题,就是在启迪Hazel如何从更高层面、更长视野理解生命。
  
  -生命价值问题
  在铁轨问题中,经常会辩论的点是1条生命和5条生命的价值问题。但在道德层面,两者是相等的。我们无权剥夺1条生命,就像无权剥夺5条生命一样。Hazel和Gus,他们生命的价值和所有人一样。
  
  
  -公平问题
  The fault in our stars,片名星运里的错,暗含的意思是:命运的不公。正是因为命运的不公,Hazel和Gus才会天生患有重疾,才会即使相爱也不得不天人永隔。
  在铁轨问题中,我们也看到暗含的不公。因为在现实中,大部分人都会选择牺牲一个小孩来救一群小孩,哪怕只有这一个小孩是遵守规则的。
  即使这个小孩什么错都没有,但仍然需要承担生命的惩罚。这就是命运在最大程度上的不公,这种不公不是因为你本身的错。Hazel需要对Gus的离世和自己的疾病释怀,理解命运也会犯错,并接受这种不公。
  
  -选择问题
  当你扳动切换器,你可能是谋杀了1个孩子,但当你不作为,你可能见证5个孩子的死亡。作为还是不作为,背后是选择问题。
  你不能选择生命的长短,但你能够选择自己的生命怎样度过,然后承受自己选择的后果。就像命题中,无论作为或者不作为,都是痛苦的,但按照自己的道德观作出选择,然后承担后果,才是对生命的最大尊重。
  
  最后,贴一下Gus给Hazel的信,在信中,他似乎也给出了如何理解选择问题。
  
  Van Houten,
  I’m a good person but a shitty writer. You’re a shitty person but a good writer. We’d make a good team. I don’t want to ask you any favors, but if you have time—and from what I saw, you have plenty—I was wondering if you could write a eulogy for Hazel. I’ve got notes and everything, but if you could just make it into a coherent whole or whatever? Or even just tell me what I should say differently.
  Here’s the thing about Hazel: Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world. Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death. We all want to be remembered. I do, too. That’s what bothers me most, is being another unremembered casualty in the ancient and inglorious war against disease.
  I want to leave a mark.
  But Van Houten: The marks humans leave are too often scars. You build a hideous minimall or start a coup or try to become a rock star and you think, “They’ll remember me now,” but (a) they don’t remember you, and (b) all you leave behind are more scars. Your coup becomes a dictatorship. Your minimall becomes a lesion.
  (Okay, maybe I’m not such a shitty writer. But I can’t pull my ideas together, Van Houten. My thoughts are stars I can’t fathom into constellations.)
  We are like a bunch of dogs squirting on fire hydrants. We poison the groundwater with our toxic piss, marking everything MINE in a ridiculous attempt to survive our deaths. I can’t stop pissing on fire hydrants. I know it’s silly and useless—epically useless in my current state—but I am an animal like any other.
  Hazel is different. She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth. Hazel knows the truth: We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either.
  People will say it’s sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely. But it’s not sad, Van Houten. It’s triumphant. It’s heroic. Isn’t that the real heroism? Like the doctors say: First, do no harm.
  The real heroes anyway aren’t the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention. The guy who invented the smallpox vaccine didn’t actually invent anything. He just noticed that people with cowpox didn’t get smallpox.
  After my PET scan lit up, I snuck into the ICU and saw her while she was unconscious. I just walked in behind a nurse with a badge and I got to sit next to her for like ten minutes before I got caught. I really thought she was going to die before I could tell her that I was going to die, too. It was brutal: the incessant mechanized haranguing of intensive care. She had this dark cancer water dripping out of her chest. Eyes closed. Intubated. But her hand was still her hand, still warm and the nails painted this almost black dark blue and I just held her hand and tried to imagine the world without us and for about one second I was a good enough person to hope she died so she would never know that I was going, too. But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
  A nurse guy came in and told me I had to leave, that visitors weren’t allowed, and I asked if she was doing okay, and the guy said, “She’s still taking on water.” A desert blessing, an ocean curse.
  What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.
  I do, Augustus.
  I do.
  
  范?豪滕先生:我是个好人,但是东西写得稀烂。你是个烂人,但是东西写得不错。我觉得咱们搭档正好,我不想求你帮什么忙,但如果你有时间,而据我所见,你时间充裕。请帮我把这润色一下,是我给海蓁写的悼词。她想让我写一份,我在努力,但如果有人能帮上忙我也高兴。
  是这么一回事,我们都希望被别人铭记,但海蓁不同,海蓁知道真相,她不求有数不清的爱慕者,只要那一个就好,而她得到了那个人,她被爱得或许不宽广,但却深沉,她拥有的难道不比大多数人多吗?
  海蓁病着的时候,我知道自己快死了,但我不想这样告诉她。她在加护病房的时候,我溜了进,在她旁边坐了十分钟左右才被发现,她的双眼紧闭,皮肤苍白,但她的手还是她的手,仍然温暖。指甲上涂着接近黑色的深蓝色指甲油。
  我握着她的手,试图想象一个没有我们的世界,那会是个多么没有价值的世界啊!她那么美丽,你怎么看也看不厌,你不必担心她是否比你聪明,因为你很清楚她就是。她风趣而不刻薄,我爱她。天啊!我爱她!我真幸运能爱上她!
  范?豪滕,在这世上你没法选择不受伤害,但让谁来伤害你,你却有几分决定权,我对我的选择很满意,希望她也满意自己的选择!好吗,海蓁?格蕾丝”?
  好的!
