導語：肖申克的救贖》(The Shawshank Redemption)改編自斯蒂芬·金《不同的季節》(Different Seasons)中收錄的《麗塔海華絲及蕭山克監獄的救贖》。影片《肖申克的救贖》在牢獄題材電影中突破了類型片的限制，拍出了同類作品罕見的人情味和溫馨感覺，因而在公映時成為賣座鼎盛的黑馬。
每個人都是自己的上帝。如果你自己都放棄自己了，還有誰會救你?每個人都在忙，有的忙著生，有的忙著死。忙著追名逐利的你，忙著柴米油鹽的你，停下來想一秒：你的大腦，是不是已經被體制化了?你的上帝在哪里?
Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.
懦怯囚禁人的靈魂,希望可以令你感受自由。強者自救,圣者渡人。
Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.
監獄生活充滿了一段又一段的例行公事。
Red narrating: I have to remind myself that some birds don’t mean 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 them 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.
red旁白：我得經常同自己說，有些鳥兒是關不住的。他們的羽毛太鮮亮了。當它們飛走的時候，你心底里知道把他們關起來是一種罪惡，你會因此而振奮。不過，他們一走,你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虛。我覺得我真是懷念我的朋友。
red: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.
red：這些墻很有趣。剛入獄的時候,你痛恨周圍的高墻;慢慢地,你習慣了生活在其中;最終你會發現自己不得不依靠它而生存。這就叫體制化。
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.
我發現自己是如此的激動,以至于不能安坐或思考。我想只有那些重獲自由即將踏上新征程的人們才能感受到這種即將揭開未來神秘面紗的激動心情。我希望跨越邊境，與朋友相見握手。我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中一樣的藍。我希望。
I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
人生可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇:汲汲而生，汲汲而死。
Red: 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.
Red:我無時無刻不對自己的所作所為深感內疚,這不是因為我在這里(監獄),也不是討好你們(假釋官)�；厥自涀哌^的彎路,我多么想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什么,告訴他我現在的感受,告訴他還可以有其他的方式解決問題。可是,我做不到了.那個年輕人早已淹沒在歲月的長河里,只留下一個老人孤獨地面對過去。重新做人?騙人罷了!小子,別再浪費我的時間了,蓋你的章吧,說實話，我不在乎。
Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...
有些鳥注定是不會被關在籠子里的，因為它們的每一片羽毛都閃耀著自由的光輝。
Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever dies.
希望是美好的事物，也許是世上最美好的事物.美好的事物從不消逝.
there's something places, in the world that are not made up of stones, there's something inside, that they cannot get to, that they can not touch. that's hope,
