看“肖申克的救贖”臺詞學英語：第24講

-Andy: My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know. Like a closed book.

closed: 合著的

我妻子曾說過我是個很難理解的人，像本合著的書。

Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I didn't know how to show it, that's all.

complain: 抱怨 all the time: 一直

她經(jīng)常這樣抱怨，她很漂亮。上帝，我愛她。只是我不知道如何表達我的感情。

I killed her, Red. I didn't pull the trigger, but I drove her away. That's why she died, because of me, the way I am.

trigger: (槍的)扳機 drive away: 趕走，驅(qū)散

我殺了她，Red。雖然不是我開的槍，但是我把她趕走的。她是因我而死的，因為我對她的態(tài)度。

-Red: That don't make you a murderer. Bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want, but you didn't pull the trigger.

murderer: 謀殺犯

那不能判你謀殺的，只能說是壞丈夫。你可以為此難過，但槍不是你開的。

-Andy: No, I didn't. Somebody else did. And I wound up in here.

wind up: 使卷入

不是我殺的，是別人干的，我在這里做了替死鬼。

Bad luck, I guess. It floats around. It's got to land on somebody. It was my turn, that's all.

guess: 〈美國口語〉認為 float: 散播 land on: 強迫…接受

運氣不好，我想。霉運到處漂浮，總要有人承受的，剛巧輪到我罷了。

I was in the path of the tornado.

path: 路線 tornado: 颶風

我剛好碰上了它。

I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has. Think you'll ever get out of here?

expect: 期望 storm: 暴風雨 as long as: 和…一樣長

我只是沒有想到會這么久。想過你有一天能出去嗎?

-Red: Me? Yeah. One day,

我?有。有一天。

when I got a long, white beard and two or three marbles rolling around upstairs.

beard: 胡須 marbles: 〈俚語〉(常做復數(shù))理智 roll around: 流逝

到我頭發(fā)花白，頭昏眼花的時候。

-Andy: I tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo.

Zihuatanejo.: 【在墨西哥，太平洋中的一個小地方】「根據(jù)Andy后來的解釋」

我告訴你，我會到哪里去。圣哈塔尼奧。

-Red: Say what?

什么?

-Andy: Zihuatanejo. It's in Mexico. A little place on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?

Pacific Ocean: 太平洋 Mexican: 墨西哥人

圣哈塔尼奧，在墨西哥。太平洋中的一個小地方。你知道墨西哥人怎么形容太平洋的?

They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life.

memory: 記憶 the rest of: …的其余部分

他們說那里是沒有記憶的地方，那就是我想渡過余生的地方

A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel, right on the beach.

beach: 海灘

一個沒有記憶的溫暖地方，開間小旅館，就在沙灘邊上。

Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up new. Take my guests out charter fishing.

worthless: 無價值的 fix up: 〈口語〉修繕 charter: 包租的 fishing: 釣魚

買艘不值錢的舊船回來，把它翻新，載著我的客人出海釣魚。

-Red: Zihuatanejo.

圣哈塔尼奧。

-Andy: In a place like that, I could use a man that knows how to get things.

在那種地方，我需要個能找到東西的人。

-Red: I don't think I could make it on the outside. I been in here most of my life. I'm an institutional man now.

make it: 〈口語〉獲得成功 institutional: 規(guī)格化的

我覺得外面的社會可能不適合我，我的大半生都在這里渡過，我已經(jīng)是這里的一部分了。

Just like Brooks was.

就像Brooks那樣。

-Andy: You underestimate yourself.

underestimate: 低估

你看輕了你自己。

-Red: I don't think so. In here I'm the guy who can get things for you, sure, but outside all you need is the Yellow Pages…

Yellow Pages: 〈美國英語〉黃頁(電話號碼簿的一部分，專載廠商、公司等電話用戶的名稱及號碼，按行業(yè)劃分排列，并附有分類廣告)

我不這樣看。在此我能供應(yīng)物品給你，但是在外面你只需要電話簿黃頁分類。

Hell, I wouldn't know where to begin. Pacific Ocean? Shit. Scare me to death, something that big.

hell: 地獄【表示咒罵】 scare: 驚嚇

我不知道如何開始。太平洋?狗屁，那么大的地方會嚇死我的。

-Andy: Not me. I didn't shoot my wife, and I didn't shoot her lover.

shoot: 射死 lover: 情夫

我不怕，我沒開槍殺我妻子，我也沒開槍殺她的情人。

Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then some.

mistake: 錯誤 pay for: 償還

不論我犯了什么錯，我都已補償了。

That hotel, that boat. I don't think that's too much to ask.

一間旅館和一條船，我要的并不太多。
