肖申克救赎经典台词(中英文对照)

肖申克救赎经典台词(中英文对照)Trust is a fragile thing,once earned,it affords us tremendous freedm;but once trust is lost,it can be impossible to recover.Of course the truth is,we never know who we can trust.Those we are closest to can betray us.And totalstrangers can come to our rescue.In the end,most people decide to truse only themselves.It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.信任是很微妙的东西,一旦得到我们会感到无比自由;但是一旦失去就几乎不可能再挽回。

当然,我们永远不知道可以相信谁。

最亲近的人也有可能背叛我们,而未曾谋面的人也可能伸出援助之手。

所以,大多数人决定只相信自己。

这是避免引火上身最简单的方法。

Death s inevitable.It's a promise made to each of us at birth.But before that promise is kept,we all hope something will happen tous,whether it is the thrill of romance,the joy of raising a family,or the anguish of great loss.We all hope to experience something that make our lives meaningful,but the sad fact is,not all lives have meaning.Some people spend their time on this planet just sitting on the sidelines,waiting for something to happen to them,before it's too late.死亡是不可避免的。

Isn't it, Mr Dufresne?Since I am innocent of this crimeSo I find it decidedly inconvenient that the gun was never found.Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard all the evidence. You know all the facts.We have the accused at the scene of the crime. We have footprints. Tire tracks.Bullets scattered on the ground bearing his fingerprints.A broken bourbon bottle, likewise with fingerprints.And most of allWe have a beautiful young woman and her lover lying dead in each other's arms.They had sinned.But was their crime so greatas to merit a death sentence?While you think about that...think about thisA revolver holds six bullets, not eight.I submit that this was not a hot-blooded crime of passion.That at least could be understood, if not condoned.No.This was revenge of a much more brutal, cold-blooded nature.Consider thisFour bullets per victim.Not six shots fired, but eight.That means that he fired the gun empty and then stopped to reloadso that he could shoot each of them again.An extra bullet per loverright in the head.You strike me as a particularly icy and remorseless man, Mr Dufresne.It chills my blood just to look at you.By the power vested in me by the state of MaineI hereby order you to serve two life sentences back-to-backone for each of your victims. So be it!Sit.We see by your file you've served years of a life sentence?- Yes, sir. - You feel you've been rehabilitated?Oh yes sir. Absolutely, sir.I mean, I learned my lesson.I can honestly say that I'm a changed man.I'm no longer a danger to society.That's God's honest truth.Hey, Red.How'd it go?Same old shit, different day.Yeah, I know how you feel.I'm up for rejection next week.Yeah, I got rejected last week.It happens.Hey, Red, bump me a deck.Get out of my face, man!

He's dead.Anybody come at you yet?Anybody get to you yet?Hey, we all need friends in here.I could be a friend of you.Hard to get.I like that.Andy kept pretty much to himself at first.I guess he had a lot in his mindtrying to adapt to life on the inside.Wasn't until a month went by before he finally opened his mouth to say more than two words to somebody.As it turned outthat somebody was me.I'm Andy Dufresne.Wife-killing banker.Why'd you do it?I didn't, since you ask.You're fit right in, then.Everybody in here's innocent Didn't you know that?- Heywood!

I'd just quote a price.But a toothbrush is a non-lethal object, isn't it?Fair enough.A rock hammer is about six or seven inches long.- Looks like a miniature pickax. - Pickax?- For rocks. - rocksQuartz? , --> , QuartzAnd some mica, shale...limestone.So?So I'm a rock hound.At least I was in my old life. I'd like to be again on a limited bases.Or maybe you'd like to sink your toy into somebody's skull.No, I have no enemies here.No? Wait a while.Word gets around.The Sisters have taken quite a liking to you.Especially Bogs.Don't suppose it would help if I told them I'm not homosexual.Neither are they.You have to be human first. They don't qualify.Bull queers take by force. That's all they want or understand.If I were you, I'd grow eyes in the back of my head.- Thanks for the advice. - Well, that's free.You understand my concern.If there's any trouble, I won't use the rock hammer, ok?Then I guess you want to escape. Tunnel under the wall, maybe.Did I miss something? What's so funny?You'll understand when you see the rock hammer.What's an item like this usually go for?Seven dollars in any rock-and-gem shop.My normal markup's percent.But this is a specialty item.Risk goes up, price goes up. Let's make it an even bucks.Ten it is.Waste of money, if you ask me.Why's that?Folks around this joint love surprise inspections.They find it, you're going to lose it.If they catch you, you don't know me.Mention my name, we never do business again.Not for shoelaces or a stick of gum. Now you got that?I understand.Thank you, Mr...Red.Name's Red.Why do they call you that?Maybe it's because I'm Irish.I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby.He had a quiet way about hima walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here.He strolled...like a man in the park without a care or a worry in the world.Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place.I think it would be fair to sayI liked Andy from the start.Let's go! Some of us got a schedule to keep.Move it! Come on, move it!How you doing? How's the wife treating you? , --> , RedAndy was right.I finally got the joke.It would take a man about yearsto tunnel under the wall with one of these.- Book? - Not today.- Book? - No , --> , hey, BrooksDelivery for Dufresne.Dufresne , --> , Here's your book.Thanks. , --> , DufresneWe're running low on hexite. Get on back and fetch us up some.This will blinds your eyesHoney, hush.That's it. You fight!Better that way.I wish I could tell you Andy fought the good fightand the Sisters let him be.I wish I could tell you thatbut prison is no fairy-tale world.He never said who did it.But we all knew.Things went on like that for a while.Prison life consists of routineand then more routine.Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises.The Sisters kept at him.Sometimes he was able to fight them off.Sometimes not.And that's how it went for Andy.That was his routine.I do believe those first two years were the worst for him.And I also believe that if things had gone on that waythis place would have got the best of him.But then, in the spring ofthe powers that be decidedThe roof of the license-plate factory needs resurfacing.I need a dozen volunteers for a week's work.As you knowspecial detail carries with it special privileges.It was outdoor detailand May is one damned fine month to be working outdoors.Stay in line there.More than a hundred men volunteered for the job.Wallace E. Unger.Ellis Redding.Wouldn't you know it?Me and some fellows I know were among the namescalled.Andrew Dufresne.It only cost us a pack of smokes per man.I made my usual percent, of course.So this big-shot lawyer calls me long-distance from Texas.I say, "Yeah?"He says, "Sorry to inform you, but your brother just died."- Oh, damn, Byron, I'm sorry to hear that. - I'm not. He was an asshole.Ran off years ago. Figured him for dead anyway.So this lawyer fellow says to me"Your brother died a rich man." Oil wells ,shit, close to a million bucks.A million bucks?- Fucking incredible how lucky some assholes get. - Jeez-Louise! You gonna see any of that?Thirty-five thousand. That's what he left me.Dollars?Holy shit! That's great! That's like winning the sweepstakes.Isn't it?Dumb shit, what do you think the government gonna do with me?Take a big wet bite out of my ass is what.Poor Byron.Terrible fucking luck, huh? Crying shame.Some people really got it awful.Andy, you nuts?Keep your eyes on your mop man! Andy!You'll pay some tax, but you'll still end up...Oh Yeah Yeah, maybe enough to buy a new car, and then what?I got to pay tax on the car. Repair...maintenance, got the kids pestering you to take them for a ride all the time.Then if you figure your tax wrong, you get pay out of your own pocket.I tell you, Uncle Sam!He puts his hand in your shirt and squeezes your tit till it's purple...- Getting himself killed. - Keep tarring.Some brother, Shit!Mr HadleyDo you trust your wife?Oh, that's funny.You look funnier that suckin' my dick with no teeth.What I mean is, do you think she'd go behind your back?

Work!And that's how it came to passthat on the second-to-last day of the jobthe convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring ofwound up sitting in a row at in the morningdrinking icy-cold Black Label beer courtesy of the hardest screwthat never walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison.Drink up while it's cold, ladies.The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men.We could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses.We were the lords of all creation.As for Andyhe spent that break hunkered in the shadea strange little smile on his facewatching us drink his beer.Want a cold one, Andy?No, thanks. I gave up drinking.You could argue he done it to curry favor with the guards.Or maybe make a few friends among us cons.Me?I think he did it just to feel normal againif only for a short while.King me- Chess. Now there's a game of kings. - What?Civilized. Strategic.And a total fucking mystery. I hate it.May be let me teach you someday.Sure.I've been thinking of getting a board together.You're talking to the right man. I'm the guy can get things, right?We might do business on a board, and I'll carve the pieces myself.One side in alabaster, one in soapstone. What do you think?I think it'll take years.Years I got. What I don't have are the rocks.Pickings are pretty slim in the yard.Pebbles, mostly.Andy, we're getting to be kind of friends, aren't we?Yeah, I guess.Can I ask you something?Why'd you do it?I'm innocent, Red.Just like everybody else here.What are you in for?Murder. Same as you.Innocent?Only guilty man in Shawshank.Where's the canary?How did you know?- How did I know what?- So you don't know.Come.This is where the canary is.Quite a surprise to hear a woman singing in my house, Johnny?That's quite asurpriseRedWait, wait, waitHere she comes.I like this part when she does that shit with her hair.yeah I know. I've seen it three times this month.Gilda, are you decent?Me?God, I love it.I understand you're a man that knows how to get things.I'm known to locate certain things from time to time. What do you want?- Rita Hayworth. - What?Can you get her?So this is Johnny Farrel. I've heard a lot about you.- Take a few weeks. - Weeks?Oh yeah Andy, I don't have her stuffed down the front of my pants right now, sorry to say.But I'll get her.Relax.Thanks.- Take a walk - I got to change the reels!I said fuck off!Ain't you going to scream?Let's get this over with.He broke my fucking nose!NowI'm going to open my flyand you'll swallow what I give you to swallow.And when you swallow mine, you goona swallow Rooster's.You done broke his nose,so he ought to have something to show for it.Anything you put in my mouth, you gonna lose it.No, you don't understand.You do that I'll put all eight inches of this steeling your ear.All right, but you should know that sudden serious brain injurycauses the victim to bite down hard.In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strongthey have to pry the victim's jaws openwith a crowbar.Where do you get this shit?I read it.You know how to read, you ignorant fuck?Honey!You shouldn't!Bogs didn't put anything in Andy's mouth.And neither did his friends.What they did do is beat him within an inch of his life.Andy spent a month in the infirmary.Bogs spent a week in the hole.Time's up, Bogs.It's your world, boss.Return to your cellblocks for evening count.All prisoners report for lock down.What?- Where's he going? - Grab his ankles.Help!Two things never happened again after that.The Sisters never laid a finger on Andy again.And Bogs would never walk again.They transferred him to a minimum-security hospital upstate.To my knowledge, he lived out the rest of his daysdrinking his food through a straw.Andy could use a nice welcome back when he gets out of the infirmary.Sounds good to us.I figure we owe him that much for the beer.The man likes to play chess.Let's get him some rocks.Guys!I got one.I got one. Look!Heywood, that isn't soapstone! And it ain't alabaster either.What are you, a fucking geologist?He's right. It ain't.- What the hell is it then? - It's a horse apple.- Bullshit! - No, horseshit.Petrified.Damn!Despite a few hitches, the boys came through in fine style.And by the weekendAnd by the weekend he was due backwe had enough rocks saved up to keep him busy till rapture.Also got a big shipment in that week.Cigarettes......chewing gum......sipping whisky......playing cards with naked ladies on them. You name it.And of course, the most important item:Rita Hayworth herself.Heads up. They're tossing cells.Heads up. They're tossing cells!On your feet.Face the wall.Turn around and face the warden.Pleased to see you reading this.Any favorite passages?"Watch ye, therefore, for you know notwhen the master of the house coming."Mark :.I've always liked that one.But I prefer"I am the light of the world.Ye that followeth me shall have the light of life."John, chapter , verse .I hear you're good with numbers.How nice.Man should have a skill.Explain this.It's called a rock blanket. It's for shaping and polishing rocks.A little hobby of mine.It's pretty clean.Some contraband here, but nothing to get in a twist over.I can't say I approve of this.But I suppose...exceptions can be made.Lock them up!I almost forgot.I'd hate to deprive you of this.Salvation lies within.Yes, sir.Tossing cells was just an excuse.Truth isNorton wanted to size Andy up.My wife made that in church group.Very nice, sir.You enjoy working in the laundry?No, sir. Not especially.Perhaps we can find something morebefitting a man of your education.Hey, Jake. Where's Brooks?Andy?I thought I heard you out here.I've been reassigned to you.I know, they told me.Ain't that a kick in the head?Well, I'll give you the dime tour.Come on.Well, here she is.The Shawshank Prison Library.National GeographicsReader's Digest condensed booksand Louis L'Amour.Look magazine.Erle Stanley Gardners.Every evening I load up the cart and make my rounds.I enter the names on this clipboard here.Easy, peasy, Japanese.- Any questions? - Brooks, How long have you been in librarian?I come here in ', and they made me librarian in .And in all that time have you ever had an assistant?No. Not much to it, really.Why me? Why now?I don't know.But it'd be nice to have some company down here for change.DufresneThat's him. That's the one.I'm Dekins.I wasthinking about maybe setting up some kind of trust fund for my kids' educations.I see.Why don't we have a seat and talk them.Brooks, Do you have a piece of paper and a pencil?Thanks.SoMr DekinsAnd then Andy says, "Mr Dekinsdo you want your sons to go to Harvard or Yale?"He didn't say that!As God is my witness!Dekins just blinked for a secondthen laughs his ass off. Afterward, he actually shook Andy's hand.- My ass! - Shook his hand.I tell you, I near soiled myself!All Andy needed was a suit and tie and a jiggly hula gal on his deskhe'd have been "Mr Dufresne," if you please.Make a few friends, Andy?I wouldn't say "friends."I'm a convicted murderer who provides sound financial planning.It's a wonderful pet to have.Got you out of the laundry, didn't it?It might do more than that.How about expanding the library, Get some new books in there?If you ask for something, ask for a pool table.How do you expect to do that? I meanget new books in here, "Mr Dufresne, if you please."Ask the warden for funds.Son, son...six wardens I've been through here in my tenure, and I've learnedone of a immutable, universal truth:Not one of them bornwhose asshole wouldn't pucker up tighter than a snare drum yes when you ask for funds.- The budget's stretched thin as it is.- I see.Perhaps I could write to the State Senate and request funds directly from them.Perhaps they have only three ways to spend the taxpayer's hard-earned when it come to prisons.More walls, more bars, more guards.Still, I'd like to try, with permission. I'll write a letter a week.- They can't ignore me forever. - Sure can.But you write your letters if it makes you happy.I'll even mail them for you. How's that?So Andy started writing a letter a weekjust like he said.And just like Norton saidAndy got no answers.The following April, Andy did tax returns for half the guards at Shawshank.Year after that, he did them allincluding the warden's.Year after that, they rescheduled the start of the intramural seasonto coincide with tax season.The guards on the opposing teams all remembered to bring their W-s.So Moresby Prisonissued you a gun, but you actually had to paid for it.Damn right, the holster too.See that's tax-deductible. You can write that off.Yes, sir! Andy was a regular cottage industry.In fact, it got so busy at tax time, he was allowed a staff.Hey, Red! Could you hand me a stack of s?Got me out of the wood shop a month out of the year, and that was fine by me.And still, kept sending those letters.Red, AndyIt's Brooks.Watch the door.Please, Brooks, just- Calm the fuck down. - goddamn it! Stay back!- Stay back, goddamn it! - What's hell going on?You tell me, just One second he's fine, now coming the knives shit.Brooks! We can talk about this, right?Nothing left to talk about! Dman it's all talked out! I'm gonna cut his fuckin' throat!Heywood? Why? What's he done to you?It's a paid time!I got no choice.Brooks, you not gonna hurt Heywood. We all know that, even Heywood knows that- Right, Heywood? - I know that sure.You know you not gonna hurt him because He's a friend of yours, and Brooks is a reasonable man.Right, guys?So put the knife down. Brooks, just look at me.Put the knife down.BrooksLook at his neck, for God's sake.Brooks, look at his neck. He's bleeding.It's the only wayIt's the only way they'd let me stay.Come on, this is crazy. You don't wanna do this.Come on, put it down.Hey, come onTake it easy.You'll be all right.Him? What about me?Crazy old fool guy damn near cut my throat!Oh, shit, Heywood. You've had worse from shaving.What the hell did you do to set him off anyway?I do nothing. I come in here to say fare-thee-well.Ain't you heard? His parole's come through.I just don't understand what happened in there, that's all.Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse is what.Oh, Heywood, That's enough out of you.- Heard he had you shitting your pants. - Fuck you.Aren't you knock it off?Brooks set no bug.He's just institutionalized."Institutionalized," my ass.The man's been in here years, Heywood, years!This is he only knows.In here, he's an important manan educated man.Outside, he's nothing.Just a used-up con with arthritis in both hands.Probably couldn't get a library card if he tried.You know what I'm trying to say?Red, I do believe you're talking out of your ass.You believe whatever you want, FloydBut I tell you 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 sense "institutionalized."Shit.- I could never be like that. - Oh, yeah?Sit till you've been here as long as Brooks.Goddamn right.They send you here for life。
