1,Andy进监狱后第一晚说的话。
His first night in the joint,Andy Dufresne cost me two packs of
cigarettes. He never made a sound……
2,Andy第一次找Red后,他说的话。
I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a
quiet way about him,a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal
around here. He storlled,like a man in a park without a care or
worry.Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from
this place.
Yes,I think it would be fair to say I liked Andy from the
start.
3,Andy帮助他的“同事们”冒着生命危险争得啤酒后说的话。
And that's how it came to pass,that on the second-to-last day of
the job,the convict crew that tarrect the plate factory roof in the
spring of 1949 wound up sitting in a row at 10 o'clock in the
morining,drinking icy cold Black Label beer courtesy of the hardest
screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison.
The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.
We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders,and felt like free
man. We could been tarring the roof of one of our own houses.We
were the Loards of all Creation.
As for Andy,he spent that break hunkered in the shade,a strange
little smile on his face,watching us drink his beer.
You could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards.Or
maybe make a few friends among friends among us cons.Me,I think he
did it just to fell normal again……if only for a short
while.
4,Andy放《费加罗婚礼》时说的话。
I have no idea to this day what them two Italian ladies were
singing about.Truth is ,I don't want to know. Some things are best
left unsaid.I like to think they were singing about something so
beautiful it can't be expressed in words,and makes your heart ache
because of it.
I tell you, those voices soared. Higher and farther than anybody in
a gray place dares to drem. It was like some beautiful bird flapped
into our darb little cage and made these walls dissolve away……and
for the briefest of moments----every last man at Shawshank felt
free.
5,Andy越狱后说的话。有点长……
And then came the unmistakable sound of Rory Tremont losing his
last few meals. The whole cellblock heard it . I mean ,it
echoed.
I laughed myself right into solitary. Two week stretch.
Andy once talked about doing easy time in the in the hole.Now I
know what he meant.
In 1996, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank Prison.
All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes,a bar of
soap,and an old rock-hammer damn near worn down to the nub.
I remember thinking it would take a man 6 hundred years to turnnel
through the wall with it . Andy did it in less than 20.
Andy loved geology.I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature.
An ice age here, a million years of mountain-building there, plates
of bedrock grinding against each other over a span of
millennia……
Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it
takes,really. Pressure and time.
That and a big damn poster.
Like I said .In prison, a man'll do most anything to keep his mind
occupied.
It turns out Andy's favorite hobby was totin'his wall out into the
exercise yard a handful at a time……
While the rest of us slept, Andy spent years workin'the
nightshift…
Probably took him most of a year just to get his head
throught.
I guess after Tommy was killed,Andy decided he'd been here just
about long enough.
Andy sorts through Norton's three suits. He pauses,checking the
gray pinstripe.Nice.
The guard simply didn't notice.Neither did I. I mean,seriously,how
often do you really look at a man's shoes.
Andy crawled to freedom through 500 yards of shit-smelling foulness
I can't even imagine.Or maybe Ijust don't want to.
500 yards. The length of 5 football fields . Just shy of half a
mile.
Andy Durfresne,who crawled through a river of shit and came out
clean on whe other side. Andy Durfresne,headed for the
Pacific.
These of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear,the
stuff he pulled.It always makes ua laugh.
Sometimes it makes me sad,though,Andy being gone. I have to remined
myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all.Their
feathers are just too bright……and when they fly away,the part of
you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice……but
still,the place you live is that much more drab and empty that
they're gone.
I guess I just miss my friend.
But there are times I curse him forthe dreams he left
behind……
……dreams where I am lostin a warm place with no memory.
An ocean so big it strickes me dumb. Waves so quiet they strike me
deaf.Sunshine so bright it strikes me blind. It is a place that is
blue beyond reason. Bluer than can possibly exist. Bluer than
mymind can possibly grasp.
I am terrified.There is no way home.
Andy.I know you're in that place.Look at the starsfor me just
aftersunset. Touch the sand……wade in the water……and fell
free.
8,Red
假释时与官员说的话。
I heard you. Rehabilitated. Let's see now. You know,come to think
of it,I have no idea what that means.
I know what you think it mean. Me, Ithink it's a made-up
word,apolitician's word.A word so young fellas like you can wear a
suit and tie and have a job.What do you really want to know? Am I
sorry for what I did?
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, 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 bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny,
and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth,I don't
give a shit.
9,被假释后,Red说的……
Thirty years I've been asking permission to piss. I can't squeeze a
drop without say-so.
Women,too,that's the other thing.I forgot they were half the human
race.There's women everywhere,every shape and sizw. I find myself
semi-hard most of the time,cursing myself for a dirty old
man.
Not a brassiere to be seen,nipples poking out at the world. Jeezus,
pleeze-us. Back in my day,awoman out in public like that would have
been arrested and given a sanity hearing.
They're calling thisthe Summer of Love. Summer of Loonies,you ask
me.
10,回归自由的世界后Red的失落……
There is a harsh truth to face.No way I'm gonna make it on the
outside.
All I do anymore is think of ways to break my parole.
Terrible thing,to live in fear.Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all
too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense.Where I
won't have to be afraid all the time.
Only one thing stops me,A promise Imade to
Andy.
11,Red看到Andy的信后……
Get busy living or get busy dying.That is goddamn right.
Fo the second timein my life,I am guilty of committing a
crime.
Parole violation. Idoubt they'll toss up any roadblocks for
that.Not for an old crook like me.
I hope I can make it acrossthe border.I hope to see my friend and
shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue asit has been in my
dreams.I hope……
12,英文剧本中的最后一句对话,在电影中没有。
ANDY:You look like a man who knows how to get things.
RED :I'm known to locate certain things from time to
time……
