Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is not real life person,he is a fictional character.He grows up in Greenbow Alabana.He is different. Why ?

Not because he is quite smart or he has some special skill.Just because his IQ is only 75.

But his mother strives to make him feel no differents from others. She always said to him,

"You're no different than anybody else is."

So,although his IQ is just 75,he achieves a lot more than normal people may dream of.

There is a classic lines in the movie:

"Life is like a box of chocolate,you never know what you’re going to get. "

So no matter what we will face,just do not give up our hope.

Through Gump I want to tell you,"Just do yourself!"He’s a hero in my heart.

He’s the most beautiful person.That’s all，Thank you !!

Classical movie Forrest Gump

PART ONE,CHILDHOOD ANDSCHOOL DAYS

Hello. My name?s want a chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of 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. 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 was my magic shoes. Alright, ?s take a little walk around. How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. 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, ?

Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after? the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford 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, ? I bet: 日常用语，我肯定，我敢说 ?

an awful lot:相当多的 ?

crooked: 弯曲的，不诚实的 ?

name after: 以……来命名 ?

Ku Klux Klan: 三K党 ?

spook: 幽灵

. Mama said the part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don?t make no sense.

What are y?all starin? at? Haven?t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before? Don?t ever let anybody tell you that they?re better than you, same, he?d have given us all braces on our legs. :

Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them. We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That?s in the country of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama?s family since her grandpa?s grandpa?s grandpa had come across the ocean about a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just me and mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out?, mostly to people passin? through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That?s how me and mama got money. Mama was a real smart .

Remember what I told you You?re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, You are no different .

Your boy?s different, Mrs.. His I.Q?. is 75. Well, we?re all different, :

She wanted me to have the finest education so she took me to the Greenbow County Central School. I met the principal and all. I want to show you something, Mrs.this is normal. is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of 80 to attend public school, Mrs.?s going to have to go to a special school. He?ll be just fine.

? lent out/rent out: 出租（房屋）等 ?

I.Q.: 智商

What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on the slow side. But my boy, to get the same opportunities as everyone else. He?s not going to some special school to learn how to retread? tires. We?re talking about five little points here. There must be something can be done. :

We?re a progressive school system. We don?t want to see anybody left behind. Is there a ...Mr. Mrs. ?

?s on vacation.

: Eee,Eee,Eee… Your mama sure does

care about your schooling, son. You don?t say much, do you?

) Finally, he had to

try. It looked easy but... oh, what happened?

?s “vacation” mean?

Vacation is when you go somewhere

and you don?t ever come back.

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 suitcases and hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.

( ces as the traveler sings “Hound

Dog”)

, I told you not to bother this

nice young man.

Elvis Presley: No, that?s alright Ma?am. I was just

showing him a thing or two on the guitar here.

Alright. Supper?s ready if y?all want

to eat.

Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, Ma?am. ?

retread: 更换轮胎，给（旧轮胎）装新胎面

Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down some.

“You ain?t? nothing but a hound dog...”

:

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 Furniture and Appliance store. Guess what.?.. (Elvis was on TV cing the way that taught him)

This is not for children?s eyes. :

Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sang too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king... You know it?s funny how you remember some things. But some things you can?t.

You do your very best now,

: I remember the bus ride on the first day

of school very well. Are you coming along?

Mama said not to be taken rides from

strangers.

This is the bus to school. I?m

I?m Harris. : Well, now

we ain?t strangers anymore. Kid: This seat?s taken.

Other Kids: Taken. Different Kid: You can?t sit

here.

:

You know it?s funny what a young man recollects?. ?Cause I don?t remember being born. I don?t recall what I got for my first Christmas. I don?t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.

Now because I?d been a football star, and a war hero, and a national celebrity and a shrimpin? boat captain, and a college graduate, the city of Greenbow, Alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job. So I never went back to work for Lieutenant of my some kind of fruit company so then I got a call from him saying we don?t have to worry about money no more and I said, “That?s good. One less thing.” Now mama said there?s only so much fortune a man really needs and the rest is just for showin? off. So, I gave a whole bunch of it to the Four Square Gospel Church and a whole bunch to the Bayou la Batre Fishing Hospital. Even though was dead, and Lieutenant said I was nuts, I gave ?s mama ?s share?. You know what? She didn?t have to work in nobody?s kitchen no more and cause, I was a gozillionaire and I liked doing it so much, I cut that grass for free.

I did all the talking. most of the time was real quiet... Sometimes I guess there just aren?t enough rocks. I never really knew why she came back, But I didn?t care. It was like olden times. We was like peas and carrots again. Everyday, I?d pick pretty flowers and put them in her room for her. And she gave me the best gift anyone could ever get in the wide world. And she even showed me how to ce. And well, we was like family, time in my life.

That day, for no particular reason I decided to go for a little run so I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there I thought maybe I?d run to the end of the town and when I got there, I thought, maybe I?d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured since I run this far, maybe I?ll just run across the great state of Alabama. And that?s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular ?

reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean, and when I got there, I figured since I?d gone this far, I might as well turn around and keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured since I?d gone this far, I might as well turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate and when I had to go… you know, I went.

Yeah, I?d think a lot, about mama, and

would do all that running for no particular reason.

Hey man. Hey, listen, I was wondering if you might help me. I?m in the bumper? sticker? business and I?ve been trying to think up a good slogan and since you have been such a big inspiration? to the people around you. I thought you might be able to... Whoa! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit! Man: What? Shit? :

And some years later I heard that that fella did come up with a bumper sticker slogan and he made a lot of money out of it. Another time I was running along and somebody who had lost all his money in the T-shirt business. He wanted to put my face on a T-shirt, but he couldn?t draw that well and he didn?t have a camera.

Man: Here use this. Nobody likes that color

anyway.

:

Some years later, I found out that man did comp up with an idea for a T-shirt. He made a lot of money out of it. Anyway, like I was saying, I had a lot of company.
