And just like that she was gone.

她就这样骤然从我的生活中消失了。阿甘面对生活中出现的意外打击，心中充满了苦涩和不解，但是却又无可奈何，不得不面对现实，接受命运的安排。造化愚弄人，每次阿甘得到自己苦苦追索的Jenny，却总是发现两个人的人生之路似乎大相径庭。因此无论怎样苦苦挽留，阿甘只能眼巴巴地看着Jenny离自己越来越远。阿甘对生活中的种种不幸和挑战，尽管有疑惑，有抱怨，但一切都在一句“just like that”的短语中，表达他豁达坦然迎接命运安排的心境。后面大家还会看到类似的思维模式在阿甘用语中体现：

“And just like that, she (Jenny) was gone, out of my life again!”
“And just like that, my service in the United States army was over!”
Just like that, somebody turned off the rain and the sun came out.
