可可網友們,大家好。今天,《聞香識女人》將落下帷幕。電影中Colonel中校原本習慣了紐約豪華膚淺的生活和士兵的遵從,眼睛失明后和侄女一起平凡寂寞又無助的生活是他完全無法接受的。正是Charlie讓他重新感覺到了人性中的溫暖,并漸漸打開心門接納人世間最美好的東西——人的情感。阿爾帕西諾很好把握了這部電影所要揭示的內容,將一個從前的政客,軍人,現在的老者、盲人身上復雜、乖張的性格演繹的精彩生動。他也因此片榮獲了第六十五屆奧斯卡最佳男主角。電影最后的演講部分一直被傳為經典,也顯示出阿爾帕西諾不同凡響的表現力。
Headmaster: Stand down, Mr. Slade! 坐下,史雷得先生。
Colonel: I'm not finished. As I came in here, I heard those words: "cradle of leadership." Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here. It has fallen. Makers of men, creators of leaders. Be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here. I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong; I'm not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out① to buy his future! And that, my friends, is called integrity. That's called courage. Now that's the stuff leaders should be made of. Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle...that leads to② character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, Committee. It's a valuable future, believe me. Don't destroy it. Protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you. 我還沒講完。來這兒的時候,我聽到類似"領袖搖籃"的字眼。支干斷掉時,搖籃就垮了。它已經垮了,已經垮了。人類制造者,領袖創造家。當心你創造的是哪種領袖。我不知道查理今天的緘默是對是錯,但我可以告訴你,他絕不會出賣別人以求前程。而這,朋友們,就叫正直!也叫勇氣。那才是領袖的要件。如今我走到人生十字路口,我知道哪條路是對的,毫無例外,我就知道。但我從不走,為什么?因為媽的太苦了。而查理,他也走到了十字路口,他選擇了對的路,充滿原則,通往個性之道。讓他繼續他的行程吧,他的前途掌握在您手中,諸公。絕對是有價值的前途,相信我。別毀了它,保護它,擁抱它,有一天您會引以為傲,我保證。
Colonel中校讓禮堂變成了陣地,這一刻,他再次成為了一個給士兵們訓話的中校。靈魂中耀眼的一部分再一次呈現出來。
語言點:
1.sell sb out, 出賣某人。我們從詞形上也能猜出一二,就不再多說。
2.lead to, 也是大家比較熟悉的短語,它表示“導致;導向;引領;通向”。比如:Smoking can lead to lung cancer. 抽煙可能導致肺癌。This road leads to the hotel. 這條路通向賓館。
雖然,洋洋灑灑的一段之后,Colonel中校有些自嘲的說,How’s that for cornball? 很濫情是吧?不管是不是濫情、煽情,至少這段話是很有煽動力也富于感染力的。這段演講也讓在座的師生完全站在了Charlie的一邊。最后,Charlie完全免責。一個幸福的結尾不等于膚淺的結尾,能夠走出陰霾,重新擁抱陽光總是令人感到溫暖,令人想要微笑的。好了,《聞香識女人》,我們就聽到這里吧。下期再見。
