木板漂浮在漆黑的海面上，冰冷的海水讓Rose開始絕望，Jack鼓勵她堅強地活下去：“你會離開這兒，繼續(xù)活下去，生許多孩子，看著他們長大……”生離死別的時刻，心愛的人說上幾句對未來的憧憬，就會激起生的渴望，也會刻骨銘心一輩子�！�—重溫一下那凄涼但絕對溫馨的一幕：

Rose: I love you, Jack.
Jack: Don't you do that. Don't you say your good-byes. Not yet. Do you understand me?
Rose: I'm so cold.
Jack: Listen, Rose. You're going to get out of here. You're going to go on and you can make a lot of babies and watch them grow and you're going to die and old and old lady, warm in your bed. Not here. Not this night. Not like this. You understand me?
Rose: I can't feel my body.
Jack: Winning that ticket was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. You promise me that you will survive..; that you won't give up... no matter what happens… no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go off that promise.
Rose: I promise.
Jack: Never let go.
Rose: I will never let go, Jack. I'll never let go.

重點講解

Rose的一句“I love you”顯然是為了訣別，Jack馬上阻止了她，“不要這樣，收起你的再見，現(xiàn)在不是時候”。Not yet經(jīng)常在口語中用到，表示直至目前尚未到時候，不使用完整句子。

go on作為一個詞組，這里的意思是繼續(xù)活下去。下面Jack說“不是在這里，不是今晚，不是像這樣死去”，用了三個排比句，都是由not加上表示地點、時間或狀態(tài)的副詞或副詞短語組成。

Jack要Rose不要放棄（give up放棄）。他說，贏得那張船票使他們相識，他為此心存感激（be thankful for），他要Rose發(fā)誓活下去，無論發(fā)生什么，無論多絕望（hopeless），永不背棄（go off從……離開）這個誓言。
