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 ?
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 #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 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 (V.O.): 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 Rita Hayworth
into the prison for him, I told him no problem.
妙詞佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. life sentence:
無期徒刑；終身監(jiān)禁。《肖申克的救贖》是一部監(jiān)獄題材的影片，所以牽扯到很多和犯罪相關(guān)的詞語，在這個片段里我們還會看到一個單詞：con.這是一種俚語的說法，意思是“罪犯”。相當(dāng)于convict.
此外對罪犯的終極懲罰通常就是死刑，而死刑一詞的表達是death penalty, 我們把它放在這里和影片中出現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞匯一起掌握。
3. God's truth：意思是“真實的事情”，一般用來指說話人特別想強調(diào)的事實，比如It is God's truth that my next
door neighbor was a murderer at large!就是“我的隔壁住著一個在逃的殺人犯，這事兒千真萬確！”
4. up for：打算；準(zhǔn)備 I'm up for rejection next week.
意思為“我已經(jīng)做好了準(zhǔn)備，下周申請假釋的時候也被拒”。再如：The house is up for sale. 房子準(zhǔn)備出售。be up
for是一個很常用的詞組，在口語中，為了避免句式單調(diào)，我們可以用這個詞組替代be ready.
5. bump me a deck：這是非常俚語的講法。bump這里的意思相當(dāng)于lend，deck是指a pack of
cigarettes。所以整句的意思就是“借我一盒煙”。監(jiān)獄里的犯人常常用一種普通人聽不懂的指代詞語來談?wù)撘恍┦虑椋@可以說是他們長年牢獄生活的“創(chuàng)造”。
6. be into sb：這也是一個非常俚語的講法。在這里的是borrow或者owe的意思。整句話的意思就是：You have already
borrowed five packs from me.
美國文化面面觀
1. Sears & Roebuck: born during the latter part of the 19th century,
Sears & Roebuck Company is one of the most trusted economic institutions in
U.S. history and eventually grew to be the 7th largest corporation in the world
during the 20th century.
西爾斯-羅巴克連鎖公司，美國一家著名的公司，以零售著稱，歷年都名列美國財富500強。右面的這張照片是他們早期的產(chǎn)品目錄，相當(dāng)于消費指南。（Red這里說自己能從監(jiān)獄外把任何獄友們想要的東西偷偷弄進來，這些東西的品種之多，不亞于一家百貨公司。）
2. Rita Hayworth: one of classic Hollywood beautiful leading ladies.
麗塔·海華絲，上世紀(jì)四五十年代好萊塢著名的女影星，以性感著稱，代表作品有《封面女郎》Cover Girl，《蕩婦姬黛》Gilda，《上海小姐》The Lady
From
Shanghai。（安迪讓瑞德幫她弄的當(dāng)然不是女影星本人，而是她的一張巨幅海報，這個我們可以在影片中看到。在影片中，瑞德所看電影的女主角就是麗塔·海華絲。）
