人鱼相恋的故事并不新潮，你一定看过《小美人鱼》之类的童话故事。跨越种族的爱恋也不稀奇，《青蛙王子》《美女与野兽》《金刚》写得都是女主教爱上了其貌不扬的其他生物。《水形物语》在传统俗套的人鱼恋情基础上加入了更多的艺术效果，明喻暗喻，成为一部不看影评愧对导演的作品！

5. Have you always been alone? Did you ever have someone? Do you know what happened to you? Do you? Because I don't. I don't know what happened to me. I don't know. I look in the mirror and the only thing that I recogonize are these eyes. In this old man's face. You know, sometimes I think I was either born too early or too late for my life. Maybe we're both just relics.
你一直都是孤身一人吗?你曾有过伴侣吗?你知道你会怎么样吗?知道吗?我不知道。我不知道我怎么会这样。我不知道。我看着镜子里的自己，只能认出自己的这对瞳孔。长在这张苍老的脸上。你知道吗。有时我觉得自己生不逢时。也许我俩都是文物。

You went away and my heart went with you. I speak your name in my every prayer. If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how.
你永远不会知道我有多爱你。你永远不会知道我有多在乎你。我也试过要隐藏对你的爱但做不到。我不是告诉过你吗，你应该知道的。你走的那天，我的心也随你走了。每每祈祷我都默念你的名字。我发誓，我已穷尽所知道的一切方式来证明我对你的爱。

I humbles my heart
for you are everywhere.

我心臣服于你
因你无处不在
