监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。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而生存。 这就是体制化。

7.i find i’m so excited. i can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. i think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. i hope i can make it across the border. i hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. i hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. i hope.

我发现自己是如此的激动，以至于不能静静地坐下来思考。我想只有那些重获自由即将踏上新征程的人们才能感受到这种即将揭开未来神秘面纱的激动心情。我希望跨越千山万水握住朋友的手，我希望太平洋的海水如同梦中的一样蓝：我希望。

8.i have no idea to this day what those two italian ladies were singing about. truth is, i don’t want to know. some things are better left unsaid.i’d like to think they were singing about somethings so beautiful,it can" t expressed in words,and it makes your heart ache because of it.i tell you, th ose voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dr eam. it was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage an d made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man is shawshank felt free.

9.there`s not a day goes by i don`t feel regret. not because i`m in here, or because you think i should. i look back on the way i was then. then a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. i want to talk to him. i want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. but i can`t. that kid`s long gone and this old man is all that`s left. i got to live with that. rehabilitated? it`s just a bull.......... word. so you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time. because to tell you the truth, i don`t give a shit.

我无时不刻地对自己的所作所为深感内疚，这不是因为我在这里(指监狱)，也不是讨好你们(指假释官)。回首曾经走过的弯路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，告诉他我现在的感受，告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是，我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人?骗人罢了。小子，别再浪费我的时间了，盖你的章吧，我不会再废话了。

10.here’s where it makes the most sense. you need it so you don"t foget. foget that there are palce in the world that aren’t made out of stone that there’s a---there’s a---there’s something inside that’s yours, that they can’t touch.

这就是意义所在。你需要它，就好像自己不要忘记。忘记世上还有不是用石 头围起来的地方。忘记自己的内心还有你自己的东西，他们碰不到的东西。

14.red narrating: we sat and drank with thesun on our shoulders and felt like freemen. ****, we could have been tarringthe roof of one of our own houses. we were the lords of all creation. as forandy—-he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on hisface watching us drink his beer.

瑞德话外音：我们坐在太阳下，感觉就像自由人。见鬼，我好像就是在修自己家的房顶。我们是创造的主人。而安迪——他在这间歇中蹲在绿荫下，一丝奇特的微笑挂在脸上，看着我们喝他的啤酒。

15. red narrating: you could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards.or, maybe make a few friends among us cons. me, i think he did it just to feelnormal again, if only for a short while.

瑞德旁白：你会说他做这些是为了讨好看守。或者也许是为了同我们搞好关系。而我则认为他只是为了再度体验一下正常人的感觉，哪怕只是为了短短的片刻。
