Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you 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,聖者渡人。 　　Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. 　　監獄生活充滿了一段又一段的例行公事。 　　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. 　　red旁白：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，你心底裏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:These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. 　　red：這些牆很有趣。剛入獄的時候,你痛恨周圍的高牆;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。這就叫體製化。 　　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. 　　我發現自己是如此的激動,以至於不能安坐或思考。我想隻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麵紗的激動心情。我希望跨越邊境，與朋友相見握手。我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中一樣的藍。我希望。 　　I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying. 　　人生可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇:汲汲而生，汲汲而死。 　　Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was 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 the way things are. But I can’t. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth,I don't give a shit. 　　Red:我無時無刻不對自己的所作所為深感內疚,這不是因為我在這裏(監獄),也不是討好你們(假釋官)。回首曾經走過的彎路,我多麼想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什麼,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裏,隻留下一個老人孤獨地麵對過去。重新做人?騙人罷了!小子,別再浪費我的時間了,蓋你的章吧,說實話，我不在乎。 　　Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright... 　　有些鳥注定是不會被關在籠子裏的，因為它們的每一片羽毛都閃耀著自由的光輝。 　　Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever dies. 　　希望是美好的事物，也許是世上最美好的事物．美好的事物從不消逝． 　　there's something places, in the world that are not made up of stones, there's something inside, that they cannot get to, that they can not touch. that's yours, 　　影片中安迪有這樣一句話：“forget that there are … place … in the world that are not made up of stone, there is something … inside … that they can not get to … that is hope ”（不要忘了，這個世界穿透一切高牆的東西，它就在我們的內心深處，他們無法達到，也接觸不到，那就是希望）。的確，正像安迪所說的，監獄的高牆可以束縛住我們的身體上的自由，甚至於體製化的東西可以束縛住我們的精神上的自由，但唯有希望不可以放棄。失去希望的生活是灰暗的，沒有生氣的，甚至是沒有意義的。在安迪的心中一直就沒有放棄對自由的希望，而且他也一直在為自己的希望努力著——每天晚上都要用那個小錘去挖瑞得認為幾百年也挖不穿的牆壁。而對瑞得和老布來說，他們早就放棄了希望，因為在他們看來希望隻能讓自己更痛苦，甚至認為希望便是痛苦的根源。一個人能夠在19年痛苦的監獄生活裏，不放棄對自由的向往，這是一種怎樣的精神信念？所以他成功了，奪回了自己的自由。 　　His judgement cometh and that right soon. 　　主的審判迅速降臨

希望是個好東西，可能是最美好的東西，並且永不消逝。
