這句"how has she died for us, let me count the ways",小小的借用點竄了英國浪漫時期詩人Elizabeth Barrett Browning的原作。這首十四行詩是她的知名代表作品之一,出自詩集《Sonnets from the Portuguese》。原作沒有標題,是該詩集的第四十三號作品。原文以下:
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
CSI的文字趣味(2): Let me count the ways.
原本十九世紀的情詩到了CSI,搖身一變,成了製作人嘴裡用來講明當家花旦的在戲裡分歧死法的開場白。不外,替片子公司賺進大把鈔票的女演員可是製作人眼前的大紅人,如許的搖錢樹固然是製作人的親愛寶貝。編劇借用了詩人的情話,玩了文字趣味,也藉此顯示失蹤的旦角在製作人心中的地位。
圖片說明:Elizabeth Barrett Browning的畫像。
Elizabeth Barrett Browning寫出這首詩時正是遭到Robert Browning的強烈熱鬧追求(兩人的戀愛故事一直是文壇美談),在詩裡Elizabeth Barrett Browning描述她是若何深戀愛人、具體描述她的竭誠情感。此詩的第一行"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways"(我若何愛汝?且讓我娓娓細數道來)相當有名,也常被普遍改寫運用。
