電影 六福客栈 The Inn of the Sixth Happiness 1958
Gladys May Aylward （1902 – 1970）出生于英国一个贫寒家庭，基督徒，中文名艾伟德。十几岁开始做家佣。在做家佣期间，她要去中国献身传教工作的愿望越发清晰、强烈起来。1930年，28岁时，她以自己仅有的几十个英镑为路费，只身从英国经由陆路来到了中国山西。在山西阳城，她与老传教士Jeannie Lawson一起努力，开办了一家客栈，并将其取名为“八福客栈”（The Inn of Eight Happinesses）。“八福”取意自圣经经文。
34岁时，艾伟德加入中华民国国籍。47岁时，她返回英国。56岁时，她再次来中国但最后在台湾落脚，并在那里去世，享年68岁。
英国皇家飞行员、作家Alan Burgess所撰写的小说The Small Woman，发表于1957年，是艾伟德的传记性文学作品。
这部小说的英文名为The Small Woman。单就英文语义来说，small woman意为“身材矮小的女人”。的确，艾伟德身高只有大约1.5米。但是，在书中读者可以看到主人公是一位伟大的女人。因而，“矮小（small）”与艾伟德的伟大（great）形成了一个反差。
这本书的书名中文译为“小妇人”。
基于“小妇人”改编的电影“六福客栈”，首映于1958年。“小妇人”原作者参与了电影的改编。
“六福客栈”的英文片名是 The Inn of the Sixth Happiness。“八福客栈”中的“八福”意为“八个福分”，而The Inn of the Sixth Happiness 中的sixth是序数词，意即“第六”。因而，the Sixth Happiness 本意为“第六个福分”，而不是“六个福分”。
在这部电影中，劳森太太钉上“六福栈”的匾额后，仁爱（“仁爱”是片中女主人公，艾伟德是她的原型）说：“在中国每个人都祝福你五种幸福。第六种幸福是什么啊？”劳森太太回应说：“那你就得自己找出来啦。每个人在心里决定第六种幸福是什么。”
电影“六福客栈”公映时，艾伟德尚在世。她曾对电影中的一些细节表示不认同。比如，她天生身材矮小，而电影中女主人公身材比较高大。还比如，她对影片中女主人公的爱情戏中的某些细节也不认同。
电影“六福客栈”向世人，特别是华人社会，揭示了艾伟德以及与她一样的那些传教士早年在中国的不朽经历。
这里上传的这部配有中文字幕的电影“六福客栈”取自网上。其中文译文比我所见到的其他版本好。
Gladys May Aylward (1902 – 1970) was born into a poor British family and Christian Chinese Avide. Started working as a domestic helper in his teens. While working as a domestic servant, her desire to go to China to dedicate herself to missionary work became clearer and stronger. In 1930, at the age of 28, she traveled from England to Shanxi, China, by land with only a few dozen pounds she had. In Yangcheng, Shanxi, she worked with the old missionary Jeannie Lawson to open an inn and named it The Inn of Eight Happinesses. The "beatitudes" are taken from biblical verses.
At the age of 34, Avid became a citizen of the Republic of China. At the age of 47, she returned to England. At the age of 56, she came to China again but eventually settled in Taiwan, where she died at the age of 68.
The novel The Small Woman, written by Royal Aviator and author Alan Burgess, published in 1957, is a biographical work by Avide.
The novel's English title is The Small Woman. In terms of English semantics alone, small woman means "short woman". Indeed, Avid is only about 1.5 meters tall. However, in the book the reader can see that the protagonist is a great woman. Thus, "small" contrasts with the great greatness of Avide.
The title of the book Chinese translated as "Little Women".
The film "Luk Fook Inn", based on "Little Women", premiered in 1958. The original author of "Little Women" participated in the adaptation of the film.
The English title of "Luk Fook Inn" is The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. The "Eight Beatitudes" in "Eight Beatitudes" means "eight blessings", and the sixth in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is an ordinal word meaning "sixth". Thus, the Sixth Happiness originally meant "the sixth beatitude", not "six blessings".
In this film, after Mrs. Lawson nails the plaque of "Liufu Zhan", Renai ("Renai" is the heroine in the film, and Avid is her prototype) says: "In China, everyone wishes you five kinds of happiness." What is the sixth type of happiness? Mrs. Lawson responded, "Then you'll have to find out for yourself." Everyone decides in their heart what the sixth happiness is. ”
When the movie "Luk Fook Inn" was released, Avid was still alive. She once disagreed with some details in the film. For example, she was born short in stature, while the heroine in the movie is relatively tall. For example, she also disagrees with some details in the heroine's love scene in the film.
The film "Luk Fook Inn" reveals to the world, especially the Chinese community, the immortal experience of Avid and those missionaries like her in his early years in China.
The movie "Luk Fook Inn" with Chinese subtitles uploaded here is taken from the Internet. Chinese translation is better than the other versions I've seen. Blessed".
