在影片里，你时常可以看到这样的场面：一个个穿着体面的角色，站在甲板上凭栏眺海，发表着关于自由生活和人生真谛的冠冕堂皇的演说，看起来就像在演莎士比亚戏剧的"泰坦尼克"版，这些独白也构成了电影史上的经典。

　　1. All that city. You just couldn&apost see the end to it. The end? Please? Youplease just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway. And Iwas grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off.Guaranteed. There was no problem. It wasn&apost what I saw that stopped me, Max. Itwas what I didn&apost see. You understand that? What I didn&apost see. In all thatsprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I didnot see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world...

　　所有那些城市，你就是无法看见尽头。尽头?拜托!拜托你给我看它的尽头在哪?当时，站在舷梯向外看还好。我那时穿着大衣，感觉也很棒，觉得自己澳际无量，然后我就要下船去。放心!完全没问题!可是，阻止了我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所无法看见的那些东西。你明白么?我看不见的那些。在那个无限蔓延的城市里，什么东西都有，可惟独没有尽头。根本就没有尽头。我看不见的是这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。

　　2. Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eightyeightof them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You areinfinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I likethat. That I can live by.

　　拿一部钢琴来说，从琴键开始，又结束。你知道钢琴只有88个键，随便什么琴都没差。它们不是无限的。你才是无限的，在琴键上制作 出的音乐是无限的。我喜欢这样，我活的惯。

　　3. 钢琴师原本有机会下船发展自己的音乐事业，但是在临下船的一瞬间，他看到了这个复杂纷繁的世界，于是他退缩了，因为他眼中的世界是这样的：

　　All that world is weighing down on me, you don&apost even know where it comes to anend, and aren&apost you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? Theenormity of living it?

　　那个世界好重，压在我身上。你甚至不知道它在哪里结束，你难道从来不为自己生活在无穷选择里而害怕得快崩溃掉吗?

　　4. was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand peopleat a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow andstern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. Ilearned to live that way.

　　我是在这艘船上出生的，整个世界跟我并肩而行，但是，行走一次只携带两千人。这里也有欲望，但不会虚妄到超出船头和船尾。你用钢琴表达你的快乐，但音符不是无限的。我已经习惯这么生活。

　　最后，钢琴师的朋友劝他离开即将被熔化的船，钢琴师说了以下这段话，表达了对陆地深深的恐惧。

　　5.Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It&aposs a woman too beautiful; it&aposs avoyage too long, a perfume too strong. It&aposs a music I don&apost know how to make. Icould never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, Idon&apost exist for anyone. You&aposre an exception, Max, you&aposre the only one who knowsI&aposm here. You&aposre a minority, and you better get used to it. Forgive me, myfriend, but I&aposm not getting off.

　　陆地?陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，一个太漂亮 的女人，一段太长的旅行，一瓶太刺鼻的香水，一种我不会创作的音乐。我永远无法放弃这艘船，不过幸好，我可以放弃我的生命。反正没人记得我存在过，而你是例外， max，你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是唯一一个，而且你最好习惯如此。原谅我，朋友，我不会下船的。
