肖申克的救赎

ALL IN ONE

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

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

2015/10/08 #record #Bangkok

生命可以归结为一种简单的选择:要么忙于生存,要么赶着去死。

2) These walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized.

2015/10/30 #record #Bangkok

这些高墙很有趣。刚入狱的时候,你痛恨周围的高墙,慢慢地,你习惯了生活在其中。最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。这就是体制化。

3) Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

懦怯囚禁人的灵魂,希望可以感受自由。强者自救,圣者渡人。

4) I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about somethings so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful birds flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man at Shawshank felt free.

到今天我还不知道那两个意大利娘们在唱些什么,其实,我也不想知道。有些东西还是留着不说为妙。我想她们该是在唱一些非常美妙动人的故事,美妙得难以用言语来表达,美妙得让你心痛。告诉你吧,这些声音直穿云霄,飞得比任何一个人敢想的梦还要遥远。就像一些美丽的鸟儿扑扇着翅膀来到我们褐色的牢笼,使那些墙壁消失得无影无踪。就在那一刹那,肖申克监狱的每一个人都感到了自由。

5) (On playing opera records in the prison)

Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense, You need it so you don’t forget. Forget that there are palces in the world that aren’t made out of stone, there’s something inside that they can’t get to, that they can’t touch, that’s yours.

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

(在监狱里放歌剧唱片)

安迪:这才是它的意义所在,你需要它就不会忘记它。忘记世上还有不是用石头围起来的地方,忘记自己的内心还有你自己的东西,他们碰不到的东西。

6) Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t get that from you.

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

安迪:这就是音乐的美丽,他们无法把这种美丽从你那里夺去。

7) Red narrating: You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards, Or mabye make a few friends among us cons. Me? I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while.

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

你会说他做这些是为了讨好看守,或者也许是为了同我们搞好关系。而我则认为他只是为了再度体验一下正常人的感觉,哪怕只是为了短短的片刻。

8) I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

2015/10/06 #record #Bangkok

我得经常同自己说,有些鸟儿是关不住的,他们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候,你心底里知道把他们关起来是一种罪恶,你会因此而振奋。不过,他们一走,你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我想我真的是怀念我的朋友了。

9) There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret, not because I’m in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was 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 can’t. That kid’s long gone, and this old man is all that’s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.

2015/11/02 #record #Bangkok

没有一天我不感到后悔的,不是因为我在监狱里,也不是讨好你们。回首过往,一个年轻的、愚蠢的孩子翻了大罪,我多想和他说些什么,告诉他我现在的感受,告诉他做人的道理,可是已经不能了。那个孩子已无影无踪,只留下这个老人,我得这样生活下去。改过?骗人罢了!继续盖上你的印章吧,小子,别再浪费我的时间了,说句实话,我根本不在乎。

10) Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies!

2015/10/07 #record #Bangkok

记着,希望是件好东西,没准儿是件最好的东西,而且从没有一样好东西会消逝!

11) I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s 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.

2015/10/04 #record #Bangkok

我发现自己是如此的激动,以至于不能静静地坐下来思考。我想只有那些重获自由即将踏上新征程的人们才能感受到这种即将揭开未来神秘面纱的激动心情。我希望跨越千山万水握住朋友的手,我希望太平洋的海水如同梦中的一样蓝。我希望。
