书籍介绍
They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after a motorcycle accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
A Love Story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

精彩摘录
- "我不是要告诉你从高楼上跳下来，或者跟鲸鱼一起游泳之类的，而是要你勇敢的去生活。推动自己，别安于现状，充满骄傲地穿条纹裤——但要是你坚持要与某个荒唐的家伙安定下来，一定要确保把这玩意儿藏在某处。知道自己的人生仍然充满可能性是一件乐事，知道我可以将这些给予你缓解了我的疼痛。"
- "His grey eyes were lined with exhaustion, or the effect of constant discomfort (Nathan said he was rarely comfortable). They bore the hollow look of someone who was always a few steps removed from the world around him. And as the days went by and I realized that his condition was not just a matter o"
- "They say you only really appreciate a garden once you reach a certain age, and I suppose there is a truth in that. It’s probably something to do with the great circle of life. There seems to be something miraculous about seeing the relentless optimism of new growth after the bleakness of winter, a k"
- "There have even been times when it was, frankly, a pain. There is nothing more disappointing than creating a new border only to see it fail to flourish, or to watch a row of beautiful alliums destroyed overnight by some slimy culprit. But even when I complained about the time, the effort involved in"
- "‘You’re too bright. Too interesting.’ He looked away from me. ‘You only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.’"
- "‘Yes. And I’m completely unembarrassed about telling you. I’d be doing night school. I’d be training as a seamstress or a fashion designer or whatever it is that taps into what you really love.’"
- "‘Well, there wasn’t much time left after work, but I tried to do something every day.

Yes, really,’ he said, a"

拖拖拉拉看了快两年的书终于看完了，比电影精彩多了，最后一章看到泪目

顺便吐槽中文版译名，什么鬼？
文笔轻松。生命究竟是谁的？
like the idea of living boldly and ending the life you deemed unacceptable.
This is one is so easy to read! 作为一个典型的爱情小说，竟然也能引起我对人生一些思考，实属难得啊~
两个善良的人找到了他们彼此的幸运，他们彼此留下了最珍贵的回忆，然后交错前行。对生活充满热忱，野心勃勃，深知自己的目标和追求的灵魂可以读懂Will；而一个善良，真诚，感性的灵魂可以读懂Lou。书中关于细节和心理的描写使得整个故事的合理性和主要人物的丰满程度都达到了很高的水准。（在结尾的时候确实有一些之前曾花费精力的部分人物的形象塑造被忽略了，也或许是作者刻意地忽略了，为读者留下想象的空间。比如Will的母亲，直到最后都让我感到遗憾和难以释怀，但这并不影响它被称为一本好书）。毕竟在我看来，读完后会因感情和人性的复杂而唏嘘，产生对人生观或者对世界的思考，产生对错的疑问甚至强烈的讨论欲的作品，都因其拥有的思考深度而闪闪发光。
高中英语课的记忆😭即使知道结局最后的信还是让我想哭
先看的书，最妙的是最后的最后男主依然选择死亡。
感谢每日英语听力陪我度过心碎时刻。
Audible听完，原著比电影和译版有更多的动容。尤其最后Lou内心的声音，在去瑞士之前与母亲的冲突，决定去瑞士和到了瑞士见到Will之后内心情感的反复，这些细节都让我泪流满面。书中明显地表现了Lou对于Will的爱，不只是怜爱之情，而是真真切切的爱情。她爱这个改变了她一生——将她原有的胆怯和狭隘驱逐，带来勇气与开阔的男人。Will似乎没有明确表达自己的爱，可是他最后的选择中、尤其那封信也包含了他对Lou想表达的一切：认真活下去，带着我未竟的梦想与生活，活下去。“我是爱你的，你是自由的。”
