Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, casual acquaintances during their university years, spend graduation night together. It’s July 15, 1988, and their futures are up in the air. Dexter, the handsome, confident son of a well-to-do family, knows only that he wants “to be successful. . . . to live life to the extreme, but without any mess or complications” [p. 9]. Emma is determined to stay true to her left-leaning passions and ideals though she has little idea of how she’ll do it. They part the next day with vague promises to keep in touch as Dexter sets off to travel the world and Emma returns to her working-class family in Leeds to figure out what she’ll do next. Over the next twenty years, they’ll think about each other, sometimes to meet and reignite a relationship that neither can give up nor explain. One Day revisits Dexter and Emma every year on the anniversary of their first night together. Each July 15th becomes a snapshot of a particular time and place, offering an irresistible and often hilarious chronicle of the lovers they acquire, the careers they pursue, the culture that influences them, and the opportunities they embrace or squander. As their stories unfold, David Nicholls brilliantly explores the interplay of character and fate that shape our lives. Emma Morley和Dexter Mayhew在大学中偶然相识,共同度过了他们的毕业之夜。那是1988年7月15日,两人的未来都悬而未决。Dexter这个来自于富裕家庭的自信、英俊的男孩,只知道他未来的梦想是“想要成功…过刺激的生活、但不要有混乱和曲折。”Emma决定面对自己左倾的热情和梦想,但她也不知道该做些什么。第二天他们分开,Dexter去环游世界、Emma返回自己在英国利兹的工薪阶层家庭思考未来做些什么,在分别前二人模糊地约定保持联络。在接下来的20年中,两人挂念着彼此,有时见面重燃这种既不能割舍又难以解释的关系。 《一天》记录了Dexter和Emma两人在20年的跨度之中是如何度过7月15日——他们的纪念日——这一天的。每年的7月15日就像一个特定时空的快照,为我们展示了他们的恋人、事业、周边环境、获得或者是浪费掉的机会的编年史,使观众被深深吸引、经常忍俊不禁。随着他们故事的展开,我们看到了性格和命运会如何塑造我们的生活。

爱情故事,永远是文学和电影的宠儿。不分时代,不分人群,不分地域,悲情、苦情、欢情、奇情一幕幕爱情故事永远在上演,看客永远不倦。 现在,我们眼前的英国小说《一天》,又是一本两个人的情书。 它讲述的不是执着与忠诚,不像特吕弗《阿黛尔.雨果的故事》中那个为了追逐不爱...
评分To pay tribute to the book, I shall write this thing in English excuse any of the grammar mistakes of all the love stories--whether in the form of films, short stories, play, etc etc-- One Day is among one of the Bests. At first i wanted to say "romance",...
评分15 July. St Swithin's Day. Arthur's Seat. 'Live each day as if it's your last', it just wasn't practical. Better by far to simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion and your electric typewriter and work hard at...something.
评分有人说小说精彩的不行,电影差了些,于是我看了小说,发现不合我口味,属于言情小说类别。
评分对于爱情电影没有一点免疫力,对这类爱情小说更是彻底失控,看来又要被这本书影响一段时间的爱情观了。
评分两个人每个阶段的困惑细的让人感同身受,反倒是真的在一起了作者一笔带到了结局。深深怀疑作者是脖子控。。。
评分小说比电影优太多。各章节密集独立得像在逐集看电视剧。Emma and Dexter,他们的人生如果用线形图来描绘是正相反的走向,但是无论处于哪个阶段,都是他们自己对自己所处状态的评价最让他们痛苦。最终章写他们的开始太甜蜜,提醒这果然还是爱情小说。第一部攻克的原文(鼓掌!),作者大人是如何用20个以内的初中词汇写出那么戳心的句子捏~
