不翻译时聊电影(Translations and Movies)

The author tentatively titled the novel Tomorrow is Another Day, from its last line.[9] Other proposed titles included Bugles Sang True, Not in Our Stars, and Tote the Weary Load.[6] The title Mitchell finally chose is from the first line of the third stanza of the poem "Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae sub Regno Cynarae" by Ernest Dowson:

I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind ...[10]

Scarlett O'Hara uses the title phrase when she wonders to herself if her home on a plantation called "Tara" is still standing, or if it had "gone with the wind which had swept through Georgia."[11] In a general sense, the title is a metaphor for the demise of a way of life in the South prior to the Civil War. When taken in the context of Dowson's poem about "Cynara," the phrase "gone with the wind" alludes to erotic loss.[12] The poem expresses the regrets of someone who has lost his feelings for his "old passion," Cynara.[13] Dowson's Cynara, a name that comes from the Greek word for artichoke, represents a lost love.[14]

It is also possible that the author was influenced by the connection of the phrase “gone with the wind” with Tara in a line of James Joyce’s Ulysses in the chapter “Aeolus”.
