電影《肖申克的救贖》（The Shawshank Redemption）曾經(jīng)讓無數(shù)人唏噓，一個懷有自由靈魂的人，高墻也無法阻止他追求自由。影片里面的很多臺詞也常常被人們引用，我們今天選一些與大家共勉。

1、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.

2、I find I’m so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it 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(fā)現(xiàn)自己是如此的激動，以至于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們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(lán)：我希望……

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

?? 生命可以歸結(jié)為一種簡單的選擇：要么忙于生存，要么趕著去死。

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

?? 堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人只能救贖自己，偉大的人才能拯救他人

5、These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.

?? 監(jiān)獄里的高墻實(shí)在是很有趣。剛?cè)氇z的時候，你痛恨周圍的高墻；慢慢地，你習(xí)慣了生活在其中；最終你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不得不依靠它而生存。 這就是體制化。

6、Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.

?? 監(jiān)獄生活充滿了一段又一段的例行公事。

7、Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself. A great man can save another.

?? 懦怯囚禁人的靈魂，希望可以感受自由。強(qiáng)者自救，圣者渡人。

8、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. 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 bulls**t word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a s**t.

?? 我無時不刻地對自己的所作所為深感內(nèi)疚，這不是因?yàn)槲以谶@里（指監(jiān)獄），也不是討好你們（指假釋官）。回首曾經(jīng)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(xiàn)在的感受，告訴他還可以有其他的方式解決問題?？墒牵易霾坏搅?。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(dú)地面對過去。重新做人？騙人罷了！小子，別再浪費(fèi)我的時間了，蓋你的章吧，我才不在乎呢。

9、Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...

?? 有的鳥是不會被關(guān)住的，因?yàn)樗鼈兊挠鹈利惲耍?/p>
