5) “妈妈常说:'人生就像是一盒巧克力,你永远不知道将尝到哪种滋味。'" — 出自1994年电影《阿甘正传》
“My momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'" — from the 1994 film Forrest Gump
《阿甘正传》是一部20世纪体现美国人生活和历史的经典电影。主角带着观众一同经历了半个世纪前美国主要大事件,包括越南战争、中美建立外交关系等。不过,电影让人印象最深的是里面朗朗上口的台词。
直到现在,还有很多人乐于朗诵阿甘默念过的那句生活与巧克力糖果类比的著名台词,其中的关键原因不只在于汤姆·汉克斯用那浓重的南方口音缓缓念出时颇具韵味,而更在于这句话给人带来的希望。美国是一个多元化程度高得惊人的国家,但乐观是整个国家的本质特点。马丁·路德·金著名的《我有一个梦想》演讲便是这种情感最好的体现之一:无论事情有多可怕,转角处总会有希望。
The classic film Forrest Gump is a whirlwind of 20th-century American life and history. The film's titular character takes viewers through some of the most defining American events of the last 50 years, including the Vietnam War and the opening of US relations with China. But for better or for worse, the film may be best remembered today for its wealth of endlessly quotable lines.
I'd venture to say that there's a key reason why so many people still enjoy reciting Forrest's famous musings on the similarities between life and cacao-based confections, and it isn't just the thick Southern drawl that Tom Hanks used to deliver the line. No, I believe it's the sentiment of hope underlying the quote. The United States may be an unbelievably diverse nation, but a sense of optimism runs through the fabric of the country. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech might be one of the best articulations of this sentiment: that no matter how dire things may appear, hope looms eternal on the horizon.
