1.I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy dying.
生命可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇：要么忙于生存，要么趕著去死。
2.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 institution alized.
監獄里的高墻實在是很有趣。剛入獄的時候，你痛恨周圍的高墻;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。 這就是體制化。
3.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，希望可以感受自由。強者自救，圣者渡人。
4.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 。
5.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，希望可以感受自由。強者自救，圣者渡人。
6.Remember, Red, hope is good thing, mabye the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
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。
7.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，以至于不能靜靜地坐下來思考。我想只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面紗的激動心情。我希望跨越千山萬水握住朋友的手，我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中的一樣藍：我希望。
8.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，鯊堡監獄的每一個人都感到了自由。
9.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. 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 bull.......... word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don`t give a shit.
我無時不刻地對自己的所作所為深感內疚，這不是因為我在這里(指監獄)，也不是討好你們(指假釋官)。回首曾經走過的彎路，我多么想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什么，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里，只留下一個老人孤獨地面對過去。重新做人?騙人罷了!小子，別再浪費我的時間了，蓋你的章吧，我不會再廢話了。
10.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.
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。忘記自己的內心還有你自己的東西，他們碰不到的東西。
11.Red narrating: I have no idea to this daywhat those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want toknow. Some things are better left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singingabout something so beautiful it can't expressed in words and it makes youheartache because of it I tell you, those voices soared higher and fartherthan anybody in a great place dares to dream.

瑞德旁白：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，鯊堡監獄的每一個人都感到了自由。
12.(On playing opera records in the prison)
Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’tforget. Forget that there are palace in the world that aren’t made out of stoneThat there’s a---there’s a---there’s something inside that’s yours, that theycan’t touch.
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。忘記自己的內心還有你自己的東西，他們碰不到的東西。
13.Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music.They can’t take that away from you.
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。
14.Red narrating: We sat and drank with thesun on our shoulders and felt like freemen. ****, we could have been tarringthe roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As forAndy—-he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on hisface 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。
15. Red narrating: You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards.Or, maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feelnormal again, if only for a short while.
瑞德旁白：你會說他做這些是為了討好看守。或者也許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。
16.Norton: Pleased to see you reading this.Any favorite passages?
Andy: "Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not whenthe master of the house cometh."
Norton: Mark 13:35. I've always liked that one. But Iprefer "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall have thelight of life."
