The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part I)

從最后一縷《暮色》(Twilight)中捕捉情竇初開的懵懂，直到在鳳凰城叢林覆蓋的山巔沉沉睡去；在《新月》(Moonlight)初上時體味生離死別的糾纏，直到在沃爾泰拉城的日照里找回前世的約定；只是《月食》(Eclipse)突現，烏云暗涌，西雅圖的激戰正酣；《破曉》(Breaking Dawn)之前，夢還在繼續。

與斯蒂芬妮·梅爾(Stephenie Meyer)創作該系列小說前所做的吸血鬼之夢相比而言，被搬上銀幕的吸血鬼傳說更顯夢幻唯美。在大多數粉絲眼中，這幾部電影的價值不在于如何詮釋現實中愛情與婚姻的價值，而在于滿足了他們對唯美愛情的終極幻想，讓他們體驗了一次穿越時空的返璞歸真。在蒼白的現實中，誰不曾幻想過自己的王子迷人如Edward，忠貞如Jacob？又有誰不希望與自己的愛人生死與共直至地老天荒？

正因如此，幾乎每部《暮光之城》系列電影在首周上映時都能登上票房冠軍寶座，盡管它們同時也都無一例外地被貼上“幼稚”“花癡”的標簽，甚至被整蠱惡搞。自2008年以來，“暮色三人組”已經陪我們走過了三年時光。三年彈指一揮間，看著演員們的青澀漸漸褪去，我們的青春也漸行漸遠。不妨做做夢吧，趁天亮之前；再夢一會兒吧，趁還在做夢的年紀。只是，夢中一定少不了你，親愛的吸血鬼。

婚禮進行時

從相識、相知、相愛到相守，途中經歷了幾多波折、重重險阻，Bella和Edward終于要步入婚姻的殿堂了。在第19個生日到來之前，Bella一定要嫁給Edward。對她來說，在永遠17歲的愛人面前慢慢變老無疑是一場災難，因此她接受了Edward的求婚，唯一的要求就是婚后她也要變成吸血鬼。這種想法在Rosalie (Cullen家族的成員，Edward的姐姐)看來是對生命的輕視和褻瀆，因為她深知吸血鬼那種沒有靈魂、沒有溫度、無盡空虛的人生充滿了怎樣的痛苦與煎熬。但Bella并不是心血來潮想要體驗吸血鬼人生，而是想與自己的愛人攜手一生。是愛讓她變得無所畏懼。在婚禮前一晚，Edward向Bella講述了自己初為吸血鬼時控制不住嗜血本性殺害人類的痛苦經歷。

Edward: A few years after Carlisle (Edward的養父) created me， I rebelled against him. I resented (怨恨) him for curbing (限制) my appetite. So for a while I went off on my own. I wanted to know how it felt to hunt， to taste human blood. [回憶過去的殺人經歷] All the men I've killed were monsters. And so was I.

Bella: Edward， they were all murderers. You've probably saved more lives than you've took.

Edward: Bella， that's what I've told myself. But they were all human beings. I looked into their eyes as they died and saw who I was， and what I was capable of.

Bella: And what I'll be capable of. Why are you telling me this tonight? Do you really think this would change my mind about you?

Edward: I just wondered if it would change your mind about yourself and whom you'll want to see in the mirror a year from now.

Bella: I know I can do this. Let me tell you why. Because you did. You should give yourself some credit (贊揚) for that. Hopefully a year from now， I'll look in the mirror and see someone like you， someone capable of courage， sacrifice， and love.

18歲的Bella堅定地選擇了自己的人生道路，盡管未來難料，盡管在父母眼里她還是孩子，盡管她還穿不慣高跟鞋。這無疑是一條極難的路，但她擁有面對未來的勇氣和決心。婚禮上，Bella穿著美麗的婚紗，挽著爸爸的胳膊，踩著白色的高跟鞋顫顫巍巍地走過滿是青草與鮮花的土地，難掩內心的緊張與恐懼。昨夜夢中婚禮上尸山血海的恐怖景象猶在眼前，Bella望著不遠處那個幸福地等待自己的吸血鬼王子，心中的害怕漸漸消失。執子之手，夫復何求？當晚的Party上，Edward面對滿堂賓客，對自己的新娘說出了發自肺腑的祝酒詞。

Edward: It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare (使裸露) your soul to. They'll accept you for what you are. I've been waiting what seems like a very long time to get beyond what I am. With Bella， I feel like I can finally begin. So I'd like to propose a toast (敬酒) to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough， but let's start with \"forever\".

三個人的糾纏，兩個人的婚禮，有人幸福，必定有人痛苦。狼人Jacob對Bella同樣情深似海，可是心愛的姑娘結婚了，新郎卻不是他。收到結婚請柬時，Jacob心痛難忍，一氣之下遠走加拿大，變為狼身藏匿于叢林中，獨自舔舐自己的傷口。但在婚禮結束前，Jacob還是趕來為Bella送上祝福，因為他寧愿忍受痛苦，也不愿Bella失望。不過，這場久別的重逢卻以不歡而散而收場。Bella并不想立即變成吸血鬼，而想要先以人的身份與Edward度蜜月，Jacob卻擔心Edward力氣太大會不小心傷害到她，不由發怒。但是Bella相信Edward，仍舊堅持自己的決定。Jacob無法勸阻Bella，又一次傷心離去，沒有為Bella的蜜月之旅送別。

蜜月二重奏

在月涼如水的夜晚，這對新人駛離家鄉那片神秘的森林，乘飛機抵達巴西的“上帝之城”里約，穿過里約民謠狂歡的街頭，開著快艇劃開平靜的湖面，來到Carlisle送給Edward度假專用的Esme島，在二人獨享的世界里肆意享受幸福。Edward的溫柔體貼一如過往，新婚生活甘甜如蜜，Bella宛若身在天堂。與此同時，孤獨的狼人Jacob身在家鄉，心卻已隨Bella而去。狼人與吸血鬼本是天敵，想到Bella可能被殺死或變成吸血鬼，Jacob恨不得除掉Edward，就算與整個Cullen家族對抗也在所不惜。其實在擔心之余，他心里更多的是失去愛人的酸楚與痛苦。

Seth (狼人): Jake (Jacob的昵稱)， you really think you could kill Bella if she comes back as a vampire?

Leah (狼人): No. He would make one of us do it， then hold a grudge (怨恨) against ...

Jacob: Shut up， Leah.

Leah: Would you just get over it? It's not like you imprinted1 on her.

Seth: [看著不遠處因烙印而在一起的狼人情侶] At least they seem happy.

Embry (狼人): Yeah. Some people are just lucky， I guess.

Jacob: Lucky? None of them belong to themselves anymore. And the sickest part is their genes tell them they're happy about it.

Leah: At least if you imprinted on someone， you'd finally forget about Bella. I mean， being any kind of happy is better than being miserable about someone you can't have.

Leah的話讓Jacob無言以對。撇開Jacob對Edward的恨意不提，其實他的擔心不無道理，畢竟人類與吸血鬼的結合本身就有悖倫理而且史無前例。沉浸在幸福中的Bella并不知道一場大危機即將來臨。蜜月沒過多久，Bella竟離奇地開始嘔吐，隨即感到了肚子里的動靜，發現自己好像懷孕了。這一驚人的消息嚇壞了Cullen一家，因為沒人知道吸血鬼與人類的后代會是什么“怪物”。關于死亡的預言和Bella漸漸隆起的腹部讓Edward驚慌失措，他迅速收拾好行李，帶Bella回到家里。與常人不同，Edward并沒有將為人父的喜悅，如果Bella腹中的胎兒會讓Bella失去生命，他寧愿將它摧毀。

Tip for Learning

imprint:“ 對……起印刻作用，烙印”。在《暮光之城》系列中，烙印是狼人的一種無意識的心理機制，他們可以通過這種方式找到自己的靈魂伴侶。一旦一個狼人烙印了某人，他的余生都將與此人緊密相連。在他的生命中，只有烙印者是最重要的，所有的一切都退居其次，他將為烙印者做一切事情，成為對方的朋友、親人以及守護者。

產前保衛戰

再次見到 Bella的那一刻，Jacob震驚了。這還是以前那個美麗健康的Bella嗎？此刻的她蜷在沙發中，面容憔悴，蒼白如紙，僅一月之余就瘦得皮包骨頭，就連以往那雙漂亮的眼睛也失去了光彩。腹中胎兒生長過快，迅速消耗著Bella的營養，Cullen一家想盡辦法，卻仍舊束手無策。Edward看到Jacob，不惜低頭乞求他去勸服Bella不要孩子，但Bella異常堅決，誰的話都聽不進去。

Jacob: What are you thinking， Bella? Seriously.

Bella: I know this seems like a scary thing， but it ... it's not. It's like this miracle or something. I can feel him.

Jacob: So it's a bouncing (健壯的) baby boy. I'm sorry I didn't know. I should have brought some blue balloons.

Bella: It's just a guess. When I picture him I see a boy. We'll see.

Jacob: You won't.

Bella: Jake， I can do this. I'm strong enough.

Jacob: Bella， come on! You can spout that crap (說廢話) to your blood sucker， but you don't fool me! I can see what that thing's doing to you. It's a killer， Bella!

Bella: You're wrong.

Jacob: And when you die， what was the point of me loving you， you loving him? How is that right for anyone? Because I sure don't see it. Listen to me， Bella. Please! Just don't do this! Live， okay? Please!

Bella: Jake， everything's gonna be okay. [Jacob起身要走] Jake， don't go!

Jacob: I know how this ends， and I'm not sticking around to watch.

嫁給別人也罷，變成吸血鬼也罷，至少還能與她生活在同一個天空下。可是現在知道她可能會死去，Jacob怎能冷靜？勸不了Bella，Jacob一怒之下決定召集狼群消滅Bella腹中的怪物，不料狼人首領卻想借此對付Bella和Cullen一家。Jacob想要保護Bella，與吸血鬼再度聯手。產前保衛戰由此拉開序幕。

正當雙方相互僵持之時，Bella的情況愈來愈不容樂觀。腹中胎兒在不斷摧毀她的身體，甚至已經折斷了她的肋骨，縱使三百多歲的Carlisle擁有無與倫比的精湛醫術，對此也毫無辦法。也許在Bella心臟衰竭的時候，連吸血鬼的毒液也會失效，無法讓她順利轉化；也許Bella會因此永遠離開愛她和她愛的人……此時此刻，Bella的堅持讓Edward無比絕望。

Bella: Edward， I'm sorry.

Edward: I can't live without you.

Bella: You won't. You're gonna have a part of me. He'll need you.

Edward: Do you honestly think that I could love it? Or even tolerate it， if it killed you?

Bella: It's not his fault. You have to accept what it is.

Edward: Because you've given me no choice! Bella， we're supposed to be partners， remember? But you decided this on your own. You've decided to leave me.

Bella: Don't see it that way!

Edward: Well， I have no other way to see it. 'Cause it's me who'll lose you， and I don't choose that. I don't choose that.

看著摔門而去的Edward，Bella的心中也同樣痛苦。身為一個母親，Bella腹中這個千百年難得一遇的孩子給她帶來的驚喜足以讓她忘卻自己的生死，然而作為一個妻子，她亦無法看著自己深愛的丈夫如此心痛。在這樣的兩難中，Bella無法求得Edward的理解，只能寄希望于奇跡，固執地期待著一個兩全的結局。

隨著產期臨近，無法攝取食物的Bella愈加消瘦。幸而Jacob無意中的一句玩笑話帶來了希望，他們找到了孩子所需的營養——人類的血液，這才為Bella撐到產期保留了一線生機。

鳳凰涅槃日

Bella獨自苦守著的那一絲希望終于發芽了。隨著胎兒越長越大，有一天，Edward突然發現自己能聽見它的想法。

Edward: I thought I just heard ... Just say something else.

Bella: Like what? Edward， what's going on?

Edward: He likes the sound of your voice.

Bella: You can hear him?

Edward: His mind. He likes my voice as well.

Bella: What ... what do you hear?

Edward: It's so strange. I thought he was like me， but he's not; he's like you. Good and pure. He's happy.

Bella: [對孩子說] Of course you are. Of course you're happy. How could you not be? I love you so much. [問Edward] What ... what do you hear now?

Edward: He loves you， Bella.

Bella: [喜極而泣] Oh， my gosh.

就在這一刻，長久的痛苦都因此化作巨大的喜悅，固執的堅持也因此獲得了更大的力量。愁云籠罩的Cullen一家變得熱鬧起來，他們開始給孩子取名字，男孩就叫Edward Jacob——爸爸和叔叔的合稱，女孩就叫Renesmee——Bella的母親Renee和Edward的母親Esme的合稱。在Jacob和另外兩名狼人的幫助下，Carlisle和Esme順利沖出重圍，為Bella尋找生產所需的大量血液。經驗豐富的醫生離開了，周圍有狼人伺機而動，家里有Bella臨產在即，到處都充滿了緊張而危險的氣息。

臨產的時刻來得毫無預兆。Carlisle還未回來，一群經驗不足的吸血鬼迫不得已，開始手忙腳亂地為Bella做手術接生。接下來的場面緊張、血腥而又混亂，Bella的一聲聲慘叫摻雜其間。危急時刻，Edward慌忙咬了Bella。嬰兒被順利取出，疲憊不堪的Bella看著自己的女兒Renesmee一臉幸福。Edward把Renesmee放到Bella身邊，不料小小的Renesmee卻咬了媽媽一口，Bella漸漸失去意識，仿佛已經死去。驚慌的Edward匆忙將自己的毒液注入Bella的心臟，一遍又一遍地為她做著心肺復蘇，卻絲毫不見效果。巨大的悲傷襲來，Edward瘋狂地搶救Bella，嘴里不停地呢喃著。一旁的Jacob忍著淚水含恨離開，似乎想要殺死嬰兒為Bella報仇，卻在與她目光相接的那一刻發現，這個孩子就是他的烙印者。

Jacob: [畫外音] It's like gravity. Your whole center shifts. Suddenly it's not the earth holding you here. You would do anything， be anything she needs. A friend. A brother. A protector.

現實多么令人無奈，卻又充滿希望。當狼人們聞訊而來，吸血鬼們即將被數量眾多的狼人打敗時，Jacob及時趕到，拯救了他們。

Jacob: [對狼人們說] Stop! It's over. If you kill her， you kill me.

Edward: [對Rosalie等說] Jacob imprinted. They can't hurt her. Whomever a wolf imprints on can't be harmed. It's their most absolute law.

戰斗結束了，狼群也已散去，只是Bella還未醒來。他們為她洗去血跡，換上衣服，靜靜等待著。在朝陽噴薄而出的光輝中，Bella終于開始轉化。壞損的血管迅速修復，破碎的肋骨重新接起，凹下去的臉頰再次豐盈，暗黃的肌膚變得如象牙般精致，唇如玫瑰，眉如墨畫。過往的記憶一幕幕閃現而過，仿佛垂死之人在回憶過去的一切，當雙眼睜開，紅色的瞳孔光華流轉，她已重生。

此刻，在意大利，自詡為審判者的Volturi吸血鬼家族還在肆意殺戮，他們的嗜血與貪婪決定了Cullen一家即將面臨的新危機。全新的Bella、神秘的嬰兒、烙印的糾纏、不可避免的戰斗，我們還有太多可以期待，夢還在繼續。
