Джек впервые видит Роуз - "Титаник"

I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter.

I felt like I was standing at a great precipice with no one to pull me back. No one who cared or even noticed.

cotillion - кадриль, первый бал

narrow - ограниченный

mindless - бессмысленный, беспечный

chatter - болтовня

precipice - обрыв, пропасть
