两个月前我认识了Yiying，一个美丽温柔的大三女孩。有天早晨看到她不急不徐地走在校园里，边走边背英语。于是准备了一张可以在线看电影的季卡送给她。或许闲暇时看看英语电影是个不错的选择——提高外语水平之余还可学得语言之外的东西，或者只是消遣也是极好的。 以下是几部适合练习英语的电影，管窥之见，难免挂一漏万。限于时间关系，仅附海报及部分经典台词。欢迎各位朋友补充推荐：
一、The Shawshank Redemption（1994）（《肖申克的救赎》）
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. 希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永远不会消逝。
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. 懦怯囚禁人的灵魂。希望可以让你自由。
These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, thenyou get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That`sinstitutionalized. 这些墙很有趣。刚入狱的时候，你痛恨周围的高墙，慢慢地，你习惯了生活在其中。最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它们而生存。这就是制度化。
二、The Truman Show（1998）（《楚门的世界》）
You're going to the top of this mountain, broken legs and all. 你即使一拐一拐，也得爬上山顶。
Good morning, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. 假如再碰不见你们，祝你们早安、午安、晚安。
You're talking like a teenager. Well, maybe I feel like a teenager. ——你不现实得像个少年。 ——也许我的心境像少年。
Truman: Maybe I'm being set up for something. You ever think about that, Marlon? Like your whole life has been building towards something? 楚门：我可能受到别人操纵。你有没有这种感觉，好像一生都身不由己。
The world may be full of cheating, however we never lack friends with a warm heart. 有时候这个世界虽然是假的，但并不缺少真心对待我们的人。
三、The Legend of 1900（1998）（《海上钢琴师》）
All that city you just couldn't see an end to it.
城市那么大，看不到尽头。
The end? Please? Can you please just show me where it ends?
尽头在哪里？可以给我看看尽头么？
How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one?
上了岸，何去何从？
Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off.
朋友，原谅我。我不下船了。
Why why why why why... I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes they can't wait for summer; summer comes they're living dread of winter. That's why you're never tired of travelling, with chasing some place far away, where there's always summer. That doesn't sound like a good bet to me. 陆上的人喜欢寻根问底，虚度了大好光阴。冬天忧虑夏天的姗姗来迟，夏天则担心冬天的将至。所以他们不停四处游走，追求一个遥不可及、四季如夏的地方——我并不羡慕。
四、Midnight in Paris（2011）午夜巴黎
Hemingway：You'll never write well if you're afraid of dying. 海明威：如果你怕死，就永远写不出好作品。
There's nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud, and then it's not only noble, but brave. 在泥泞中倒下，你只有死得从容，那样不仅尊贵，而且充满勇气。
天晚了，先写到这里。明天星期六，还要加班。加完班继续更新本贴。
