看“肖申克的救赎”台词学英语：第22讲

He hears your tale of woe and naturally wants to cheer you up.

tale: 故事 woe: 不幸 naturally: 自然地 cheer you up: 让你高兴起来

他知道你的事后想让你振作起来。

He's young, not terribly bright.

terribly: 非常地 bright: 聪明的

他还年轻，不怎么明事理。

It's not surprising he wouldn't know what a state he put you in.

surprising: 令人惊讶的 state: 情形

他根本不明白这对你意味着什么，这并不奇怪。

-Andy: Sir, he's telling the truth.

狱长，他讲的是事实。

-Warden: Let's say for the moment this Blatch does exist.

就说这个，如果有Blatch这个人的话。

You think he'd just fall to his knees and cry, “Yes, I did it. I confess. By the way, add a life term to my sentence.”

fall to one's knees: 跪下 confess: 坦白 by the way: 顺便说一下

你认为他会跪下来，哭着说“是我做的，我坦白。方便的话，给我加个终身监禁吧。”

-Andy: With Tommy's testimony, I can get a new trial.

testimony: 证言 trial: 【法律】审讯

但是Tommy的证供能让我的案子重审。

-Warden: That's assuming Blatch is still there. Chances are, he'd be released by now.

assume: 假定 release: 释放

前提是Blatch在那狱中，也许他现在已经获释了。

-Andy: They'd have his last known address.

他们应该有他的住址的。

It's a chance, isn't it? How can you be so obtuse?

obtuse: 愚钝的

这是个机会，对吗?你怎会这么愚蠢?

-Warden: What? What did you call me?

什么?你说什么?

-Andy: Obtuse. Is it deliberate?

deliberate: 故意的

愚蠢，这是故意说的?

-Warden: You're forgetting yourself.

你忘记你自己的身份了。

-Andy: The country club will have his old timecards. Records, W-2s with his name on them.

timecards: 工作时间记录卡

俱乐部会有他的工作记录卡的记录和有他名字的报税表。

-Warden: If you want to indulge this fantasy, it's your business. Don't make it mine. This meeting is over.

indulge: 沉溺于 fantasy: 幻想 business: 事

你要继续幻想的话，那是你的事，不要影响我，谈话结束。

-Andy: If I got out, I'd never mention what happens here. I'd be as indictable as you for laundering that money.

mention: 提及 indictable:(罪行)可起诉的

如果我能出去的话，我不会提起这里发生的一切，我可以继续为你洗黑钱。

-Warden: Don't ever mention money to me, you son of a bitch! Not in this office, not anywhere. Get in here, now!

son of a bitch:〈俚语〉王八蛋

永远不许和我提钱的事，你这个婊子养的，不许在这间办公室，不许在任何地方。进来!

你怎么了?

-Warden: Get him out of here.

把他带出去。

-Andy: This is my chance to get out! It's my life! Understand?!

这是我出去的唯一的机会!这是我的人生!你明白吗?

-Warden: Get him out!

带他出去!带他出去!

-Floyd: A month in the hole. That's the longest stretch I ever heard of.

hole: (独间)牢房

关禁闭一个月，这是我听到过的最严厉的惩罚。

-Tommy: It's all my fault.

这都是我的错。

-Red: Bullshit. You didn't pull the trigger or convict him.

bullshit: 废话 trigger: (枪的)扳机 convict: 宣告…有罪

废话，事情不是由你而起的，或让他入罪。

-Heywood: Are you saying Andy is innocent? I mean, for real innocent?

innocent: 清白的

你是说Andy是清白的?我是说，真真正正的无辜的?

-Red: It looks that way.

看起来是。

-Heywood: Sweet Jesus. How long has he been here now?

天啊，他到这里有多久了?

-Red: 1947. What is that? Nineteen years.

1947，那是多少，19年。

-Post officer: Williams, Thomas.

Williams Thomas。

-Tommy: Yeah, over Here.

是，在这。

-Red: What you got? Board of Education.

Board of Education: 地方教育委员会，学校董事会

这是什么?校董会来的信。

-Tommy: That son of a bitch mailed it.

son of a bitch: 王八蛋 mail: 邮寄

他竟把它寄出去了。

-Red: You going to open it or stand there with your thumb up your butt?

butt: 屁股

你会打开它吗?还是打自己的屁股?

-Tommy: Thumb up my butt sounds better. Skeets, come on. Give me that, you shithead.

打自己的屁股听起来好一点。把它还给我，你他妈的。

-Floyd, come on.

别这样。
