影片对白


KEATING: No grades


at stake , gentlemen. Just take a stroll. There it


is.


KEATING: I don't


know, but I've been told-


BOYS: I don't know,


but I've been told-


KEATING: Doing poetry


is old-


BOYS: Doing poetry is


old-


KEATING: Left, left,


left-right-left. Left, left, left-right-left. Left, halt! Thank


you, gentlemen. If you noticed, everyone started off with their own


stride, their own pace. Mr. Pitts, taking his time


. He knew he'll get there one day. Mr. Cameron, you could see him


thinking, "Is this right? It might be right. It might be right. I


know that. Maybe not. I don't know." Mr. Overstreet, driven by


deeper force. Yes. We know that. All right. Now, I didn't bring


them up here to ridicule them. I brought them up here to illustrate


the point of conformity: the difficulty in maintaining your own


beliefs in the face of others. Now, those of you -- I see the look


in your eyes like, "I would've walked differently." Well, ask


yourselves why you were clapping. Now, we all have a great need for


acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your


own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even


though the herd may go, "That's baaaaad." Robert Frost said, "Two


roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by,


and that has made all the difference." I want you to find your own


walk right now. Your own way of striding, pacing. Any direction.


Anything you want. Whether it's proud, whether it's silly,


anything. Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours.


KEATING: You don't


have to perform. Just make it for yourself. Mr. Dalton? You'll be


joining us?


CHARLIE: Exercising


the right not to walk.


KEATING: Thank you,


Mr. Dalton. You just illustrated the point. Swim against


the stream.


妙词佳句，活学活用


1. at


stake


If something is at


stake, it is being risked and might be lost or damaged if you are


not successful. 濒临危险，得失攸关。


e.g. The tension was naturally high for a game with so much at


stake.


面对一场得失攸关的比赛，压力自然很大。


此外stake一词还有一些其它常用意思，比如作为动词的时候有"以金钱、生命等赌、下注"的意思：


e.g. I'll stake my all on it.


我用我的一切做赌注。


2. take your


time


慢慢来，别着急。在日常生活里经常能用到这个句子，而且在一些听力考试的对话部分，我们也经常能听到这个表达。



e.g. Take your time. We still have half an hour before the movie


begins.


别着急。电影还有半个小时才开始呢。


3. swim


against the stream


逆流而上、反潮流。另一个短语go


against the stream也是同样的意思。比如我们可以说一个特立独行的人：He always swims or goes


against the stream to show how different he is from


others.
