写作思路：不要平铺直叙地进行，要注意及时地、不断地变化描写的角度，使描写更加具体，给读者主体化之感。做到条理清楚、自然、明白，不杂乱，要倾注自己的思想感情。

This film is based on Stephen King's novella rita hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption. It is a simple story of hope, and it is noticeable by the interaction between the two protagonists.

这是根据斯蒂芬·金(非恐怖)的中篇小说《丽塔·海华丝和肖申克的救赎》改编的电影，是一个简单的希望故事，由两位主角的互动而变得引人注目。

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman have done a good job in making their characters real and attractive, and the way they work together is also very good.

蒂姆·罗宾斯和摩根·弗里曼在让他们的角色变得真实和吸引人方面都做得很好，他们在一起工作的方式也很好。

The value of the whole production is outstanding, but this is not a "fancy" movie. On the contrary, it insists on telling its own story, instead of resorting to flashy skills to attract the attention of the audience.

全程制作价值突出，但这不是一部“花里胡哨”的电影。相反，它坚持自己讲述的故事，而不诉诸华而不实的技巧来吸引观众的注意力。

Although there is violence, some of which are extreme, it is necessary to show what kind of prison is, and it is certainly not without reason.

虽然有暴力，有些是极端的，但有必要表明监狱是什么样的地方，当然也不是没有理由的。

The theme is hope, not despair, and violence is only the background of this message. A movie that feels good, in the end, people only hope that it will last for a few more minutes.

主题是希望，而不是绝望，暴力只是这一信息的背景。一部感觉不错的电影，到头来人们只希望它能再持续几分钟。

1．Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!希望是美好的,也许是人间至善,而美好的事物永不消逝. 2．I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.生活可以归结为一种简单的选择:不是忙于真正的生活,就是一步步地走向死亡. 3．Fear can hold you prisoner ,hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another. 懦怯囚禁人的灵魂,希望可以令你感受自由.强者自救,圣者渡人. 4．Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.监狱生活充满了一段又一段的例行公事. 5．These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized. 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．It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another. 坚强的人只能救赎自己,伟大的人才能拯救他人. 7．I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock hem up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend. 我不得不提醒自己有些鸟是不能关在笼子里的,他们的羽毛太漂亮了,当他们飞走的时候...你会觉得把他们关起来是种罪恶,但是,他们不在了你会感到寂寞,可是我只是想我的朋友了... 8．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. 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. 9．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 bull**** word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a ****. 我无时无刻不对自己的所作所为深感内疚, 这不是因为我在这里 (监狱),也不是讨好你们(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?人罢了!小子,别再浪费我的时间了,盖你的章吧,我没有什么可说的了. 10．Red: Let me tell you something my friend: Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. 瑞德：听我说,朋友,希望是件危险的事.希望能叫人发疯 11．Red narrating: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can’t expressed in words and it makes you heartache because of it I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage an d made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man is Shawshank felt free. 瑞德旁白：到今天我还不知道那两个意大利娘们在唱些什么,其实,我也不想知道.有 些东西还是留着不说为妙.我像她们该是在唱一些非常美妙动人的故事, 美妙得难以用言 语来表达,美妙的让你心痛.告诉你吧,这些声音直插云霄,飞得比任何一个人敢想的梦 还要遥远.就像一些美丽的鸟儿扑扇着翅膀来到我们褐色牢笼,让那些墙壁消失得无影无踪.就在那一刹那,鲨堡监狱的每一个人都感到了自由. 12．（On playing opera records in the prison） Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget. Forget that there are palace in the world that aren’t made out of stone That there’s a---there’s a---there’s something inside that’s yours, that they can’t touch. （在监狱里放歌剧唱片) 安迪.杜德兰:这就是意义所在.你需要它,就好像自己不要忘记.忘记世上还有不是用石 头围起来的地方.忘记自己的内心还有你自己的东西,他们碰不到的东西. 13．Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t take that away from you. 安迪.杜德兰：这就是音乐的美丽.他们无法把这种美丽从你那里夺去. 14．Red narrating: We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like freemen. ****, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords 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. 瑞德话外音：我们坐在太阳下,感觉就像自由人.见鬼,我好像就是在修自己家的房顶.我们是创造的主人.而安迪——他在这间歇中蹲在绿荫下,一丝奇特的微笑挂在脸上,看着我们喝他的啤酒. 15. Red narrating: You could argue he’d 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 again, if only for a short while. 瑞德旁白：你会说他做这些是为了讨好看守.或者也许是为了同我们搞好关系.而我则认为他只是为了再度体验一下正常人的感觉,哪怕只是为了短短的片刻. 16．Norton: Pleased to see you reading this. Any favorite passages? Andy: "Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh." Norton: Mark 13:35. I’ve always liked that one. But I prefer "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall have the light of life." Andy: John, chapter 8, verse 12. 诺顿:“很高兴看到你在读它,喜欢哪段?” 安迪:“所以汝当警醒,因不知屋主何时到来.” 诺顿:“路可福音,第13章35节.我一直很喜欢这段.但我更喜欢.‘我是世界之光,跟随我的人不会行于黑暗,还会拥有生命之光’.” 安迪：“约翰福音,第八章12节. 17．HIS JUDGMENT COMETH AND THAT RIGHT SOON 主的审判马上就会到来 18．Dear Red：If you’re reading this, you’ve gotten out. And if you’ve come this far, maybe you’re willing to come a litter further. You remember the name of the town,don’t you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels,I’ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend. Andy. 亲爱的瑞德,如果你读到这封信,那么你已经出来了.既然你已经到了这里,或许你愿意走得更 远些.你还记得那个小镇吗?（芝华塔内欧）我为我的计划找到了一个好帮手.我将备妥棋盘等你.记得,瑞德,希望是好事,也许是人间至善,而美好的事情永不消逝.我希望这封信能帮你找到你自己,而且是很好地找到你自己.你的朋友.安迪 这个你看看,虽然不是,但至少对你有帮助,可以参考一下吧!我也是转的~~~~~~~~~嘿嘿!

《阿甘正传》中贯穿了米国几十年的历史变迁，米国人看了更有感觉，中国人就没有那么深的体会。《肖申克的救赎》没有这个问题，这个电影不管哪国人看，感受都是一样深。

阿甘正传吧，这个世界大部分成功的人都是来自，专注的追求和积累。其他两个比较偏，有争议。

The Shawshank RedemptionA successful young banker Andy found his wife fornicate with a baseball coach. He flew into a fury and planned to shoot them dead at one night. But at last he gave up. His reason won his emotion. Surprisingly, his wife and her lover died at that night. Andy was framed for murder. And the sentence was two life imprisonments. He was sent into Shawshank prison. That was a dark and gloomy hell with mad prisoners, cruel warders and viperous and greedy wardenry. The first night Andy spent in it, a new comer like Andy couldn’t bear the fear and kept crying and shouting. The result was he was taken out and beaten dead by the warders. At that moment, Andy understood that if he want to live he must be silent in Shawshank. In Shawshank Andy knew an old prisoner Red. They gradually became friends. Red was able to get some small goods for the prisoners. So Andy asked for a little hammer because of his interest in geology. The life in Shawshank was full of danger. Andy, as a new prisoner, was often threatened and maltreated by some scoundrels because he always refused their unbearable and disgusting demand. In such a dark prison, no one could help him even if someone may want to. After tow years, one day, Andy, Red and some other prisoners got the chance to rebuild the roof. They heard the head of the warders complaining that he had to pay high tax to government if he wanted to receive his brother’s inheritance. Andy grabbed the opportunity and taught him a way to be exempt from taxation. The condition was to give each prisoner 3 bottles of ice beer. All the prisoners enjoyed the rare and short freedom leisurely. Red said,” It’s just like rebuilding the roof of our own house. We are free like God.” Another consequence was that from then on Andy got the protection from the head of the warders. And all the warders even the wardenry began to consult Andy for financial affairs. So some of his special behaviors were permitted, such as pasting posters of some famous actress on the wall or carving chessmen with his little hammer at as he was, Andy did more than a civilian. He kept writing one letter to the government every week to ask for bankroll to develop the library in Shawshank. After nearly ten years, a new library finally appeared. When checking the books from the government Andy found a piece of disc of The Wedding of Figaro. Then he played the disc in the radio room, letting the dulcet music spread above Shawshank. Although he was imprisoned alone for two weeks as penalty, he wasn’t regretful at all, because of the greatest thing in the world——music, which represents another best thing for human——hope. Later on, Andy knew a new prisoner Tommy, from whom Andy knew who was the real murderer that killed his wife. He immediately told the wardenry about this and naively thought the wardenry would help him leave there. But the wardenry didn’t do that. He killed Tommy. Andy had been laundering money for the wardenry for a long time. So it’s impossible for the wardenry to set Andy, as a tool and an attester for his crime, free. At this moment, everything seemed to be over. Both Andy and the audience should despair. But the climax of the movie appears. At a night with thunderstorm Andy escaped from Shawshank. Everyone including the wardenry and Red couldn’t believe it. The stone wall which Red asserted wouldn’t be dug through even with six hundred years was dug through by Andy in two decades. He kept digging with that little hammer at night, the sound of which was mistaken for the sound of carving chessmen. And the hole on the wall was covered by the huge poster of a famous actress. At that night, Andy crawled through the narrow tunnel to a drain-pipe and then smashed it with a stone under the cover of thunderclap. He was crawling while vomiting in the pipe which was as long as five football grounds by Red’s estimate. At length, Andy got out of the pipe into a little river outside the prison. He walked to the middle of the river and ripped his shirt, letting the rain wash all the filth away. Under the lightning and thunder, Andy spread out his arms, regaining freedom. When reading the postcard from Andy, Red sighed with feeling,” Some birds aren’t meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are just too bright.” Andy had said,” Life has only two choices——get busy living or get busy dying.” This is the most impressive word in this movie. It influenced a lot of people including me. Everyone is able to be busy living, but not everyone can do that all the time. That’s why a few people have brilliant life; many remain mediocre till the last minute of their life while some always struggle to get out of poverty. We complain that God is unfair. We just despair when we are in all-time low. We take hands-off attitude towards ourselves when others think we are failure, although we will weep in dreams. All of these have a same reason——we forgot that only ourselves can save ourselves. Holding hope forever especially in desperation and reminding myself to get busy living at any moment. That’s the most precious thing I got from this movie——The Shawshank Redemption
