1.Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe thebest of things and no good thing ever dies!

　　希望是美好的，也許是人間至善，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.

　　生活可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇: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 setyou 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。

　　4.Prison life consists of routine, and then moreroutine.

　　監獄生活充滿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 youdepend on them. That's institutionalized.

　　監獄里的高墻實在是很有趣。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。這就是體制化。

　　堅強的人只能救贖自己，偉大的人才能拯救他人。

　　7.I have to remind myself that some birdsaren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they flyaway, 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'regone. I guess I just miss my friend.

　　我不得不提醒自己有些鳥是不能關在籠子里的，他們的羽毛太漂亮了，當他們飛走的時候...你會覺得把他們關起來是種罪惡，但是，他們不在了你會感到寂寞，可是我只是想我的朋友了...

　　8.I find I'm so excited. I can barely sitstill or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free mancan feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion isuncertain. I hope I can make it across the border, I hope to see my friend, andshake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. Ihope.

　　我發現自己是如此的激動，以至于不能靜靜地坐下來思考，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。我希望跨越千山萬水握住朋友的手;我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中的一樣藍;我希望......

　　9.There's not a day goes by I don't feelregret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back onthe 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 theway things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that'sleft. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bull**** word. So yougo on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell youthe truth, I don't give a ……

　　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)。回首曾經走過的彎路，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，我沒有什么可說的了。

　　12.I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were s inging about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Som-e things are better left uns

　　aid.I’d like to think they were singing about somethings so beautiful,it can" t expressed in words,and it makes y-our heart ache because of it.I tell you, th ose voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dr eam. 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.

　　到今天我還不知道那兩個意大利娘們在唱些什么，其實，我也不想知道。有 些東西還是留著不說為妙。我像她們該是在唱一些非常美妙動人的故事，美妙得難以用言語來表達，美妙的讓你心痛。告訴你吧，這些聲音直插云霄，飛得比任何一個人敢想的夢 還要遙遠。就像一些美麗的鳥兒撲扇著翅膀來到我們褐色牢籠，讓那些墻壁消失得無影無蹤。就在那一剎那，肖申克監獄的每一個人都感到了自由。

　　13.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.

　　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。

　　14.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?

　　15.Let me tell you something my friend: Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
