人生就像一盒巧克力，你永远也不知道下一个吃到的是什么味道。这是阿甘的妈妈曾经说过的话，其实在这简单的话语中蕴含着每个人都了解但是却很难做到的人生态度。的确，人生就像是一盒巧克力，不去品尝，就永远不会知道它的味道。生活的巨轮不会停止地向前滚动，如何去适应生活，去战胜生活中的困难，完全在于你对生活的态度。生活中什么都会发生，我们无法也不必去预知未来。只要我们实实在在的生活，对身边的人付出真爱，生活就会是幸福的。其实，生活就是那么地简单， 我们不需要斤斤计较，更不能自暴自弃。不想成为生活的弱者，就要把握住自己的命运。
它是美国作家温斯顿·格卢姆的同名畅销小说，通过对一个智商为75的智障者生活的描述反映了美国生活的方方面面，并以独特的角度对美国几十年来社会政治生活中的重要事件做了展现。它使美国人重新审视国家和个人的过去，重新反省美国人的本质。
阿甘在影片中被塑造成了美德的化身，诚实、守信、认真、勇敢而重视感情，对人只懂付出不求回报，也从不介意别人拒绝，他只是豁达、坦荡地面对生活。他把自己仅有的智慧、信念、勇气集中在一点，他什么都不顾，只知道凭着直觉在路上不停地跑，他跑过了儿时同学的歧视、跑过了大学的足球场、跑过了炮火纷飞的越战泥潭、跑过了乒乓外交的战场、跑遍了全美国，并且最终跑到了他的终点。
阿甘形象的塑造颠覆了正常世界中的英雄形象，与传统观念背道而驰，具有强烈的反传统、反主流性。阿甘的经历让许多“聪明人”相形见绌，我想导演就是想通过阿甘形象的塑造来反讽社会，反映社会现状，比如对人的异化、堕落的揭露等借此来引起人们对社会与人们命运、前途的关注。有趣的是，阿甘身后总有一群尾随者，他们找不到人生的答案，盲目地追随阿甘，可以这么说，这就是美国当时社会的一种现实，人们对现实失望，找不到生存的动力与意义，只好无望地把命运寄托在别人身上。而阿甘却总能以乐观的态度面对现实，勇敢地跑下去，这不能不说是绝妙的讽刺。
很多时候我们就象阿甘一样找不到做一件事的理由，很多时候我们都远不及阿甘，那些不知为何而做的事情总是非常轻易地半途而废了。人的一生往往就是这样，就象片头和片尾中那片随风飘浮的白色羽毛，大多数时候，我们也许都在随波逐流，这种飘浮没有具体的方向，平淡到令人厌倦。可是，一个腾挪一个转身，总还是可以 由自己控制的，你只须尽力将它做得完满，不要计较你究竟得到了多少，那么，你就可以越飞越高，你会发现，越往高处的地方，越接近天堂,所以我相信阿甘的成功并不是偶然。
你不得不承认，其实很多事情的成功是有其偶然因素的，它并不会因你的处心积虑而更接近终点，却会在你不经意的时候，给你的努力以一个最恰当的褒赏。他忠诚，所以在越战中他独自脱离了危险的时候，他仍然跑回丛林中去找他的战友。他守信，他答应了战友要共买一艘捕虾船，但战友死了，他却在旁人不可思议的眼神 中为他实现了遗愿，也为自己赢得了巨大的财富。他执着，所以他会在珍妮离开后一跑三年，穿越了整个美国，一直不停，他告诉你，他只是想跑，他用跑步丈量人生，这不需要以和平自由或任何冠冕堂皇的东西为理由。他友善，在他救回中尉的性命后，失去了双腿的中尉一直对自己不能战死在战场上却仍以残废之躯苟且偷生 而羞愧,而恼怒，因为中尉是这样一种人:他视荣誉高于一切，他不能忍受平凡，是阿甘用友善唤回他对生命的信心，使他发现，即使没有双腿，人生依然可以充满生机。
我喜欢那种悠悠的感觉，就像绿茵镇上满目的苍翠与青葱，就像在捕虾船上眺望的海天交接的瑰丽，就像美国大漠里落日余晖的耀眼。或者只有如此，才 能像阿甘那样，即使在充斥着血污与死亡的战场上，也可以感觉到披一身星星的淡淡的光华的温暖；也唯其如此，才能体验到劳伦斯所谓的“内心的安宁”，也许他的生活是许多自诩精明的人也永远达不到的充实，因为他无论何时，无论何地，依然如故，纯朴而善良地对待身边的每一个人，坚定不移地用信念来指引着自己的生活，最终有了一片自己的天空。
“阿甘！跑！跑！跑！” 在这一声声的催促中，阿甘跑过童年苦涩，盛年舒畅的岁月悠长，跑过越南战场高远的夜空中柔柔的星光，跑过美国大地莽莽 苍苍的宽广，跑过尘世人生激动与恬淡的意味深长。然而上帝似乎还不愿弃绝他可怜的子民。阿甘因他智力和身体上的残疾而受尽世间的冷眼，阿甘稀里胡涂地被送到越南战场吃苦受罪，阿甘要承受失去挚友与爱人的巨大的悲痛。然而他也得到了布巴傻乎乎的友情，他唤醒了丹中校一度死去的心，他也有一位为他而自豪的母 亲，他也收获了珍妮报以他的爱，他也以他漫无目的的跑唤醒了迷失在浊世漩涡里的人。
阿甘是真正的随波逐流的人，他不去考虑下一块巧克力是甜是酸，只是从容地去接受。他没有强求过什么、没有奢望过什么，只是用自己的憨厚和纯真来触碰这个世界，让人们在他的身上得到一种特殊的教诲。人也许就是这么具有讽刺性，这样完美的人恰恰是个“傻子”，而正常人往往有太多的追求，太多的愿望，太多的舍不得，其实他们根本想不到自己的下一块巧克力会是什么味道的。丹中士在认识阿甘之前坚信自己会和祖辈一样战死沙场，布巴坚信自己会成为虾船船长，可他们都没有想到未来的命运正好和他们开了个玩笑。丹中士没有死在战场，但却失去了双腿，可他更没想到的是自己多年之后会成为亿万富翁，布巴的牺牲使他没有当上船长，可他的捕虾之梦却被阿甘实现，谁会想到那场暴风雨毁了所有的虾船，可更不可思议的是阿甘的船奇迹般的幸存了下来，顺利成章地独揽了捕虾业。
老子说：“少则得，多则惑。”
——知道得少，反而有收获，知道得多，反而会迷惑??所以单纯的人容易成功！阿甘善于把所有的问题都简单化，简单单纯到了只剩下直奔成功。再聪明的人都无法完全认清世间万象，运转再快的头脑，也跟不上世界万物的变化。
生活是一杯茶，在于细细的品味，方知苦涩和芬芳的余味；心情就是你眼中的世界，取决于你的态度和认识。在我读了《阿甘正传》后，心灵受到了震撼，体味和感悟到了生活的真谛。
每个看过《阿甘正传》的人都会从中得到些许感悟：生命就像那空中白色的羽毛，或迎风搏击，或随风飘荡，或翱翔蓝天，或堕入深渊??
第二篇：[阅读资料] 阿甘正传精讲!!!
在二战结束后不久，阿甘（汤姆·汉克斯 饰）出生于美国南方阿拉巴马州一个闭塞的小镇。他的智商只有75，然而他的妈妈是一个性格坚强的女性，她常常鼓励阿甘“傻人有傻福”，要他自强不息。在母亲的支持下，阿甘像普通孩子一样上学，并且认识了一生的朋友和至爱珍妮（罗宾·莱特·潘 饰）。在珍妮和妈妈的爱护下，阿甘凭着上帝赐予的“飞毛腿”开始了一生不停的奔跑。随着岁月的流逝，阿甘成为了橄榄球巨星、越战英雄、乒乓球外交使者、亿万富翁，但是，他始终忘不了珍妮。几次匆匆的相聚和离别，更是加深了阿甘的思念。究竟阿甘和珍妮能不能走到最后呢？阿甘正传（精讲一） 阿甘正传 Forrest Gump
影片对白
Forrest: Hello. My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump. You wannachocolate. I could eat about a million and a halfof these. My mama always said "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get ." Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that.
Woman: My feet hurt.
Forrest: Mama always said "There's an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes." Where they're going. Where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they were my magic shoes.
Doctor: Alright, Forrest. Open your eyes now. Let's take a little walk around. How do they feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump. As strong as I've ever seen. But his back is as crooked as a politician. But we're going to straighten him right up now, aren't we, Forrest?
Mrs.Gump: Forrest!
Forrest: Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford Forrest. She said we was related to him in some way and what he did was, he started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan. They'd all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or something. They'd even put bed sheets on their horses and ride around. Anyway, that's how I got my name, Forrest Gump. Mama said the Forrest part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don't make no sense.
妙词佳句，活学活用
1. Wanna = want to, want a, do you want to
比如你想知道你的朋友是否愿意跳舞，就可以说：Wanna dance？
2. a million and a half
这里是指很多，这是美国人夸张的一种表达方式，使用相当广泛。中文中我们也会夸张，但用的数字通常会小些。比如我们说："都告诉你几百遍了你还记不住。翻成英文就是"I have told you a million times"也就是说我们通常使用的'百'在美国人嘴里就变成了million。所以百里挑一就变成了one in a million。
3. Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
这句话的难点在于对chocolates的理解，阿甘那个时代的巧克力很多都是一盒中口味众多，可上面又没有标记是什么口味，除非亲自品尝。所以，阿甘母亲的意思其实是在表达，生活就像不知道下一块会吃到什么味的巧克力一样，只能顺其自然。当然你也可以将life换成其他词来活用。

影片对白
Forrest: Anyway. I guess you could say me and mama was on our own, but we didn't mind. Our house was never empty. There was always folks coming and going. Sometimes we had so many people staying with us that every room was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin' out of their suit cases andhat cases , and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.
(Forrest dances as the traveler sings "Hound Dog")
Mrs.Gump: Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that's all right ma'am . I was just showing him a thing or two on the guitar here. Mrs.Gump: Alright. Supper's ready if y'all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you,ma'am. Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down some. "You ain'tnothin' but a hound dog..."
Forrest: I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music, swingin' my hips. This night, me and mama was out shoppin' and we walked right by Pitsey's Furnature and Appliance store, Guess what... (Elvis was on TV dancing the way that Forrest taught him) Mrs.Gump: This is not for children's eyes.
Forrest: Some years later, that handsome young man who they called "The King", well he sung too many songs. He had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king...
妙词佳句，活学活用
1.Folk 听说高频单词，常用名词用法：
A ) 用来称呼一些人，可以翻译成“人们”。
Folks, we're ready to start now.
B) 父母和非常亲近的人
How is your folks? C) 形容词用法，民间的民俗的
He can play folk music. 2.livin' out of their suit cases
这里指经常提着公文包走南闯北的人。
3.ma'am
它是对女士的尊称，对任何年龄是否结婚一般都可以这样称呼。省去了大家辨别用miss还是mrs的时间。在传统国家只有有一定地位的女士才配有这样的称呼。美国人很爱使用，但这种叫不太正式
4.ain't
"am not," "is not," "are not," "have not," or "has not" 的缩读形式，是不正式的语言，只在口语
中出现，一般出现在文化水平较低的人群中，很多人对此词较为反感。建议大家知道意思就好，避免使用。
5.This is not for children's eyes.
这就是我们常说的少儿不宜。用法很生活化，我们可以把它活用在其他地方，如果你看到一位男士拿着《妇女之友》看的津津有味，你就可以说this is not for men's eyes.如果你在讲话不想让旁边的孩子听到你就可以说this is not for children's ears.
美国文化面面观
Presley Elvis (1935-1977), American singer and actor, one of the most popular and influential entertainers of the 20th century. Born on January 8, 1935, Elvis Presley moved with his family to Memphis in September 1948. He attended L.C. Humes High School and after graduation worked as a truck driver in the city. In 1953, on his lunch break, he recorded two songs for his mother at the Memphis Recording Service. These songs brought him a recording contract and launched his rise to fame. Presley is renowned as an early pioneer of rock music, fusing the sounds of country music and rhythm-and-blues influences with what was then the new rock-and-roll style. His unprecedented, electrically charged performances also helped make Presley one of the first mass idols of American popular culture.

猫王，又名the king of rock and roll，是阿甘传奇经历中出现的第一个名人。而影片把他的成功和阿甘紧密地联系在一起，虽然不符合事实但确为影片的娱乐性增色不少。而无论是猫王还是其他在美国历史中充当重要角色的人物，和阿甘打过交道的人似乎都是非死即伤。可是大家仔细观察就会发现，无论阿甘和他们走的多近，对他们的评价总是一笔带过。这也是影片留给我们的思索，对这些人在历史中的作用无论消极还是积极，都只能由我们自己去体会。阿甘则总会说for no particular reason或者for some reason 。阿甘从未对他们有过任何评价，导演在留有余地的同时也希望我们去挖掘更多故事背后的东西，还请大家细细体味。 考考你

阿甘正传 Forrest Gump
影片对白
Forrest: Now, my mama always told me that miracles happen everyday. Some people don't think so but they do.
Bully1: Hey, dummy! Are you dumb or just plain stupid?
Forrest: Look, I'm Forrest Gump.
Little Jenny: Just run away, Forrest, Run, Forrest. Run away, Hurry!
Bully2: Get the bikes. Hurry up.
Bully1: Look out, dummy, here we come, we're gonna get you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest. Run, Forrest.
Bully1: Come back here, you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest, Run!
Forrest: Now, You wouldn't believe it if I told you. But I can run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was runny!
Man in store: That boy sure is a running fool.
Forrest: Now, how I told you that Jenny never seemed to want to go home? Well she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
Gump: ( knock on the door) Jenny?
Forrest: He was a very loving man. He was always Kissin' and touchin' her and her sisters. And then this one time, Jenny wasn't on the bus to go to school.
Gump: Jenny, why didn't you come to school today?
Little Jenny: Shh! Daddy's taking a nap.
Father: Jenny!
Little Jenny: C'mon!
Father: Jenny! Where'd you run to? You'd better get back here, girl. Jenny?
Little Jenny: Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me. Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away from here. Dear God, make me a bird...
Forrest: Mama always said that God is mysterious. He didn't turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead, he had the police say that Jenny didn't have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma, just over on Greek more Ave. Which made me happy 'cause she was so close. Some nights, Jenny would sneak outand come on over to my house, just 'cause she said she was scared of what? I don't know, but I think it was her grandma's dog. He was a mean dog. Anyway,
Jenny and me was best friends all the way up through high school.
妙词佳句，活学活用
1. We're gonna get you!
这句话的意思是“我们会抓住你的”。这里有两个语音点需要注意。Gonna是going to 的缩读，另外get you 连读后发生同化。/t/ 和/j/连读后变成字母组合ch的发音。
2. I can run like the wind blows.
这句话的意思是“我可以跑的跟风一样快”。这就是我们常说的风驰电掣，在说英语时有些同
学因为抠字眼就翻不出这句话，其实阿甘语言虽然简单却很好的表达了这个意义。希望大家翻译时先着眼于意义对应，因为很多中文的翻译只按字翻译是无法达到交流目的的。
3. running fool
这里是指跑痴。这种用法很值得我们借鉴，就是说有些人做某事都做成傻子了。Doing fool，比如只知道吃的 eating fool。
4. He had the police say that Jenny didn't have to stay in that house no more.
这里又是一个双重否定表否定的例子，只是强调而并非负负得正。请大家多注意口语中的这种现象。比如我想说'我什么都不知道'就可以用：I ain't know nothing!
5. sneak out
在这里是指偷偷溜出去。
A. 动词用法，偷偷地前进或行动
He sneaks candy into mouth(偷偷地把糖塞进嘴巴).
B. sneaker: 旅游鞋是美语中不正式的用法
C. 形容词用法，秘密的，突袭的：
a sneak attack by terrorists恐怖分子的突然袭击
思想火花
阿甘在描述Jenny父亲时，提到了他Kissin' and touchin' her and her sisters.似乎应该是个好父亲，可后来Jenny却离开了他。这里很多同学看的有些迷惑，其实阿甘作为孩子的理解也就到这步。这里实际的意思是Jenny父亲对她们姐妹的性虐待。大家可以从他父亲的酒瓶，Jenny破烂的衣服看出Jenny所受的非人的对待。所以她才想变成一只鸟飞走。而童年的阴影直接决定到Jenny在后面人生中安全感的缺乏，对生命的不负责任。连最爱她的阿甘也多次受到她言语的伤害，她只把阿甘当做傻子一个儿时的玩伴，竟然在阿甘表达爱她时指责阿甘不懂什么是爱。直到多年的挫折后，阿甘无数次的包容和帮助才让她看清谁是可以永远依靠的人。Jenny后来拿石块猛砸她父亲的老房子时，我们便能体会苦命的童年給她的伤害之深。而这也是美国乃至人类的悲哀。在下面的文化面面观中我们一起看看在美国这些问题的起源和现状。
美国文化面面观
Child Abuse, covers a wide range of behavior, from actual physical assault by parents or other adult caretakers to neglect of a child's basic needs. Child abuse is also sometimes called child maltreatment.
Child Abuse Cases in the USA
In 2000 more than 850,000 children in the United States were victims of abuse. Neglect of a child's physical or emotional needs is the most common form of child abuse, followed by physical abuse.
起因 Cause
Child abuse results from a complex combination of personal, social, and cultural factors. These may be grouped into four primary categories:
A Intergenerational Transmission of Violence 过去被虐待转移至自己的下一代
Many children learn violent behavior from their parents and then grow up to abuse their own children.
B Social Stress 社会压力 Stress brought on by a variety of social conditions raises the risk of child abuse within a family.
C Social Isolation and Low Community Involvement 社会化程度过低
Parents and caretakers who abuse children tend to be socially isolated.
D Family Structure 特殊的家庭构成
Certain types of families have an increased risk of child abuse and neglect. For example, single parents are more likely to abuse their children than married parents.
Effects on Children 对孩子的影响
Physical injuries can range from bruises, scrapes, and burns to brain damage, permanent disabilities, and death. The psychological effects of abuse and neglect can last a lifetime and may include a lowered sense of self-worth, an inability to relate to peers, reduced attention span, and learning disorders.
