荧屏情景

Professor: Death... so-called... is a thing that makes men weep. And yet a third of life is spent in sleep. Open your textbooks to page 37. Now... close them and throw them away. Throw it away! Ha ha ha ha... Throw it away! For those of you who are new, the motto of this class:"Carpe diem. Seize the day!" No tests! No papers. You want an "A"? Live in... the moment.
教授：所谓死亡……令英雄黯然落泪，而生命的三分之一，却在睡梦中流逝。把书翻到37页。现在，合起来，扔到一边去。哈哈哈哈……扔到一边去！扔到一边去！给新来的同学提个醒，这课的座右铭就是“人生苦短，莫负好年华”。没有考试，没有论文。你想得个“A”吗？那么把握好现在的每一刻吧！
Jeff: Jackpot.
杰夫：中头奖啦！
Professor: Take off your shoes. Quick. Take off your shoes. Everyone, take your shoes off. Throw them away. Throw them across the room over there. Today, we learn to walk! Get up and walk out the door! This day could be your last! You could die in your sleep. You could get hit by a bus. You, that mole is raised and dark. It's not a good combo. You are new.
教授：脱掉你们的鞋子，快点脱鞋子，所有人，快点脱鞋！扔到一边去！都给我扔到屋那边去！今天，我们来学习走路。都给我站起来，走出教室去。今天可能是你们生命最后一天啊。你可能在熟睡中死掉，你可能被公交车撞到上帝跟前儿。你那颗痣凸起兼发黑，两种症状凑一起可不妙。你是新生。
Jeff: Yes, I'm new. But I'll be old too soon. Carpe diem, Sir. Carpe diem!
杰夫：没错，我是新生。但我很快就会老去。人生苦短，老师，人生苦短啊！
Professor: I like it!
教授：我就喜欢你这样的！
