影视英语|The Shawshank Redemption 肖申克的救赎（一）

MAN #1: Sit.

MAN #2: We see by your file you've served twenty years of a life sentence .

RED: Yes, sir.

MAN #3: You feel you've been rehabilitated^{2 ?}

RED: Yes, sir. Absolutely. I've learned my lesson. I can honestly say I'm a changed man. I'm no longer a danger to society. That's the God's honest truth.

CON^{3 #1: Hey, Red. How'd it go?}

RED: Same old shit, different day.

CON #1: Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm up for rejection^{4 next week.}

CON #2: Yeah, I got rejected last week. It happens.

CON #3: Hey, Red, bump me a deck .

RED: Get the fuck out of my face, man! You're into me for five packs already.

CON #3: Four.

RED: Five!

RED : There's must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get it for you. Cigarettes, a bag of reefer if that's your thing, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation. Damn near anything within reason. Yes sir, I'm a regular Sears Roebuck.

RED: So when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked me to smuggle^{5 Rita Hayworth into the prison for him, I told him no problem.}

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. life sentence: 无期徒刑；终身监禁。《肖申克的救赎》是一部监狱题材的影片，所以牵扯到不少和犯罪有关的词汇，在这个片段里大家还会看到一个单词：con.这是一种俚语的说法，意思是罪犯。等于convict. 除此之外对罪犯的终极惩罚一般就是死刑，而死刑一词的表达是death penalty, 大家把它放在这里和影片中出现的有关词语一块学会。

2. rehabilitate^{1: 这个词的本意是康复、修复，在这个语境里，由于Red在申请假释，所以警察这句话不是问他你感觉你已经康复了吗？而是问他是不是已经改邪归正。}

3. God's truth：意思是真实的事情，一般用来指说话人特别想强调的事实，譬如It is God's truth that my next door neighbor was a murderer at large!就是我的隔壁住着一个在逃的杀人犯，这事儿千真万确！

4. up for：计划；筹备 I'm up for rejection next week. 意思为我已经做好了筹备，下周申请假释的时候也被拒。再如：The house is up for sale. 房屋筹备供应。be up for是一个非常常见的词组，在口语中，为了防止句式单调，大家可以用这个词组替代be ready.

5. bump me a deck：这是很俚语的讲法。bump这里的意思等于lend，deck是指a pack of cigarettes。所以整句的意思就是借我一盒烟。监狱里的犯人常常用一种普通人听不懂的指代词汇来谈论一些事情，这可以说是他们长年牢狱生活的创造。

6. be into sb：这也是一个很俚语的讲法。在这里的是borrow或者owe的意思。整句话的意思就是：You have already borrowed five packs from me.
