The Shawshank Redemption 肖申克的救贖

雖然《肖申克的救贖》不是當下最新最熱的片子，但憑借其無可匹敵的影片魅力及文化內涵，時至今日仍被很多影迷所推崇。這部電影中的經典臺詞如同影片中鮮活的靈魂，在帶領我們感受光影世界的同時，也帶給我們別樣的人生感悟。以下是這部電影的雙語對白，就是對“經典”兩字最好的詮釋。

1. It takes a strong man to save himself， and a great man to save another.

堅強的人只能救贖自己，偉大的人才能拯救他人。

2. Hope is a good thing， maybe the best of things， and no good thing ever dies.

希望是美好的，也許是人間至善，而美好的事物永不消逝。

3. Some birds arent meant to be caged， thats all. Their feathers are just too bright！

有的鳥是不會被關住的，因為它們的羽毛太美麗了！

4. I find Im so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think the excitement only a free man can feel， a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend， and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...

我發現自己是如此地激動，以致不能靜靜地坐下來思考。我想只有那些重獲自由，即將踏上新征程的人才能感受到這種即將揭開未來神秘面紗的激動心情。我希望跨越千山萬水握住朋友的手;我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中的一樣藍;我希望……

5. Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

懦怯囚禁人的靈魂，希望可以感受自由。

6. These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them， then you get used to them. Enough time passed， get so you depend on them.

監獄里的高墻實在是很有趣。剛入獄的時候，你痛恨周圍的高墻;慢慢地，你習慣了生活在其中;最終你會發現自己不得不依靠它而生存。

7. Theres not a day going by I dont feel regret. Not because Im in here， or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. Then a young， stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him， tell him the way things are. But I cant. That kids long gone and this old man is all thats left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated？ Its just a bull word. So you go on and stamp your form， sorry， and stop wasting my time...

我無時無刻不對自己的所作所為深感內疚，這不是因為我在這里（指監獄），也不是討好你們（指假釋官）。回首曾經走過的彎路，我多么想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什么，告訴他我現在的感受，告訴他還可以有其他的方式解決問題。可是，我做不到了。那個年輕人早已淹沒在歲月的長河里，只留下一個老人孤獨地面對過去。重新做人？騙人罷了！小子，別再浪費我的時間了，蓋你的章吧……

8. I guess it comes down to a simple choice： get busy living or get busy dying.

生命可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇：要么忙于生存，要么趕著去死。
