【翻译培训】电影《肖申克的救赎》蝉联欧美电影排行榜第一名多年，一部没有动作,没有特效,甚至没有美人的影片，却能如此深深地打动观众，让我们为之震撼。在安迪成功越狱后，跪在雨中，张开双臂，拥抱自由的场面，想必大家都记忆犹新。曾经让无数人唏嘘，一个怀有自由灵魂的人，高墙也无法阻止他追求自由的信念。影片里面的很多台词也常常被人们引用，我们今天选一些与大家共勉。
《肖申克的救赎》中的经典台词
1、Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
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...
3、I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy dying.
4、It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.
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.
6、Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.
7、Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself. A great man can save another.
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.
9、Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...
-------------------------------------------------参考译文-------------------------------------------------------
1.希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永不消逝.
2.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……
3.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。
4.坚强的人只能救赎自己，伟大的人才能拯救他人
5.监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。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。
6.监狱生活充满了一段又一段的例行公事。
7.懦怯囚禁人的灵魂，希望可以感受自由。强者自救，圣者渡人。
8.我无时不刻地对自己的所作所为深感内疚，这不是因为我在这里（指监狱），也不是讨好你们（指假释官）。回首曾经走过的弯路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，告诉他我现在的感受，告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是，我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人？骗人罢了！小子，别再浪费我的时间了，盖你的章吧，我才不在乎呢。
9.有的鸟是不会被关住的，因为它们的羽毛太美丽了！
