Can you imagine that, except yourself, everything in your life is mendacious? Many people may be astonished by the fantastical spot after watching The Truman Show for the first time, and I couldn’t calm down for a long time too.
你是否能想象，除了自己，生活中的一切都是虚假的？许多人第一次看完《楚门的世界》也许都会对其脑洞大开的情节感到惊讶，我看完后内心也久久不能平息。
Truman was adopted by a television company in his infancy, what’s more, he was deliberately cultivated to serve as the protagonist in an extremely popular soap opera. However, everybody knows the whole shoot, only Truman was in the dark. As soon as he discovered the truth, he desperately managed to escape the world created for him. After Truman walked through the door, we think his life should not be watched any more, but what will he face next? The movie doesn’t give the answer, but leave us infinite space to guess.
楚门婴儿时被一个电视公司收养，被刻意培养为一个非常受欢迎的肥皂剧的主人公，然而所有人都知道一切，只有楚门被蒙在鼓里。而当楚门发现真相时，他不顾一切地成功逃离了这个为他创造的世界。从楚门穿过那扇门起，我们会认为他的人生就不再被窥视了，但是等待他的又会是什么？影片没有给出答案，而留给我们无限的想象空间。
Maybe it’s actually a play-within-a-play. Truman eventually entered a larger live broadcasting room, in the meanwhile, not only the director and audiences are also actors arranged, but the spot that he recognized the truth itself is designed precisely. While the world he lives in is just as an onion, loop by loop, after breaking the inner layer, there is still an outer layer. Perhaps the inside life is just opposite to the outside one, compared with the outside world, he is illusory, because he has been living as an actor all long, and has never truly lived for himself. The most ideal situation is that he integrates into the new life well, but just think that he has been living a life designed by others for more than thirty years, apparently, it’s `quite difficult for him to adapt to the new lifestyle.
也许这实际上是戏中戏，他进入了一个更大的直播间，导演和观众同样是被安排的演员，他识破真相本身也是被设计好的情节，而他所处的世界如同洋葱一般圈圈相套，打破一层更有一层；也许他与外界的生活刚好相反，他相对于外界来说是虚假的，因为一直以来他只是一名演员，没有真正地自己生活过；最理想的一种情况是他很好地融入了外部的生活，获得了新生，但试想他过了三十多年别人设计好的生活，想要适应新的生活模式又谈何容易。
Suppose people who live in the present life make the choice as Truman confronted， probably someone would continue to live in this world, for the reason that the world outside is possible to be more cruel than here. As the director in the film said, “There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. Same lies. The same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear. ” Truman still chose to leave the world, and his decision I think will be the choice of most people. There is no doubt that comfort and stability are the pursuit of most people, lies and hypocrisy are what most people detest. But what’s more terrible than living in a completely distorted environment? Isn’t it true that life is more meaningful when it’s full of waves of twists and turns?
假如让我们生活在当下的人来做出选择，也许有部分人会继续留在这个世界生活，因为外面的世界可能比这里残酷百倍，正如剧中那名导演所说的：“外面的世界，比我虚构的世界更不真实，同样的谎言、虚伪，但在我的世界，你不必害怕。”但楚门依然选择了离开这个虚构的世界，他的选择我想也会是大多数人的选择，安逸、稳定固然是大多数人追求的，谎言、虚伪固然是大多数人厌弃的，但还有什么比生活在一个完全失真的环境里更可怖？生命岂非波澜曲折才更显其意义？
It’s valuable for us to maintain a little skepticism, which can help us judge between right and wrong, not be seduced by attractive things, and ultimately find out the truest self.
我们在日常生活中葆有一点怀疑精神也是可贵的，它能帮我们判断是非，而不被具有诱惑力的事物牵着鼻子走，最终才能找到最真实的自我。
