人鱼相恋的故事并不新潮，你一定看过《小美人鱼》之类的童话故事。跨越种族的爱恋也不稀奇，《青蛙王子》《美女与野兽》《金刚》写得都是女主教爱上了其貌不扬的其他生物。《水形物语》在传统俗套的人鱼恋情基础上加入了更多的艺术效果，明喻暗喻，成为一部不看影评愧对导演的作品！

Everytime. Everyday.

Now I can't either save him or let him die.

当他看着我时...他那样看着我...不在乎我的缺陷和不足。他看到的是我最真实的样子。他见到我很高兴，日复一日，次次如此。现在我要么救他，要么眼睁睁地看着他死

4. It takes a lotta lies to keep a marriage going.

婚姻的维持需要许多谎言。

5. Have you always been alone? Did you ever have someone? Do you know what happened to you? Do you? Because I don't. I don't know what happened to me. I don't know. I look in the mirror and the only thing that I recogonize are these eyes. In this old man's face. You know, sometimes I think I was either born too early or too late for my life. Maybe we're both just relics.

你一直都是孤身一人吗?你曾有过伴侣吗?你知道你会怎么样吗?知道吗?我不知道。我不知道我怎么会这样。我不知道。我看着镜子里的自己，只能认出自己的这对瞳孔。长在这张苍老的脸上。你知道吗。有时我觉得自己生不逢时。也许我俩都是文物。

6. Life is but the shipwreck of our plans.

生命总是难以预测。(生命就像沉船)

7. You'll never know how much I've loved you. You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you. You ought to know for haven't I told you so. You went away and my heart went with you. I speak your name in my every prayer. If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how.

你永远不会知道我有多爱你。你永远不会知道我有多在乎你。我也试过要隐藏对你的爱但做不到。我不是告诉过你吗，你应该知道的。你走的那天，我的心也随你走了。每每祈祷我都默念你的名字。我发誓，我已穷尽所知道的一切方式来证明我对你的爱。

8. Unable to perceive the shape of you,

I find you all around me.

Your presence fills my eyes with your love.

I humbles my heart

for you are everywhere.

你之形 难具化

我存在在你的存在

我眼中溢满你的爱

我心臣服于你

因你无处不在
