some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...

有的鸟是不会被关住的，因为它们的羽毛太美丽了！




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.

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。




That's the beauty of music. They can't take that away from you.

这就是音乐的美丽。他们无法把这种美丽从你那里夺去。




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 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.

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，肖申克监狱的每一个人都感到了自由。




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……




Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself. A great man can save another.

Prison life consists of routine, and then mort routine.

监狱生活充满了一段又一段的例行公事.




These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get u sed to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institution alized.

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。
