Read this it may help you back to the film:

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

　　瑞德：聽我說，朋友，希望是件危險的事。希望能叫人發(fā)瘋。

　　Red narrating: These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate’em, th en you get used to’em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them.

　　瑞德話外音：這些高墻還真是有點意思。一開始你恨它，然后你對它就習慣了。等相當?shù)?時間過去后，你還會依賴它。

　　(On playing opera records in the prison) Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don"t foget. Foget that there are palce 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.

　　(在監(jiān)獄里放歌劇唱片) 安迪.杜德蘭:這就是意義所在。你需要它，就好像自己不要忘記。忘記世上還有不是用石 頭圍起來的地方。忘記自己的內(nèi)心還有你自己的東西，他們碰不到的東西。

　　Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t take that away from yo u.

　　安迪.杜德蘭：這就是音樂的美麗。他們無法把這種美麗從你那里奪去。

　　Red reading a note left by Andy: Remember, Red, hope is good thing, mabye the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

　　瑞德讀安迪留下的條子：記住，瑞德，希望是件美麗的東西，也許是最好的東西。美好的東西是永遠不會死的。

　　Red narrating: We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like freemen. h\*ll, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy—-hespent that break hunkered in the shade, a strangelittle smile on his face.watching us drink his beer.

　　瑞德話外音：我們坐在太陽下，感覺就像自由人。見鬼，我好像就是在修自己家的房頂。我們是創(chuàng)造的主人。而安迪——他在這間歇中蹲在綠蔭下，一絲奇特的微笑掛在臉上，看著我們喝他的啤酒。

　　Red narrating: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were s inging about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some 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 your 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.

　　瑞德話外音：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，鯊堡監(jiān)獄的每一個人都感到了自由。

　　Red narrating: You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards. Or, mabye make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normanl again, if only for a short while.

　　瑞德話外音：你會說他做這些是為了討好看守?；蛘咭苍S是為了同我們搞好關系。而我則認為他只是為了再度體驗一下正常人的感覺，哪怕只是為了短短的片刻。

　　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.

　　瑞德話外音：我得經(jīng)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 narraing: I hope I can make it across the border, I hope the Pacific is as blue as I dreamed it is; I hope to see my friend again, and shake his hand; I hope.

　　瑞德話外音：我希望我能越過邊境，我希望太平洋同我夢想的一樣蔚藍，我希望再見我的 朋友，同他握手，我希望。

　　Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

　　恐懼讓你淪為囚犯。希望讓你重獲自由

　　It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.

　　堅強的人只能救贖自己，偉大的人才能拯救他人

　　Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing eve r dies!

　　記著，希望是件好東西，沒準兒是件最好的東西，而且從沒有一樣好東西會消逝!
