肖申克的救赎台词精讲.pptVIP

The Shawshank Redemption review by James Berardinelli With a legion of titles like Pet Sematary, Firewalker, Sleepwalkers, Maximum Overdrive, and Children of the Corn, its reasonable not to expect much from Stephen King-inspired motion pictures. Adaptations of the prolific authors work typically vary from mildly entertaining to virtually unwatchable. There are a few notable exceptions, however; two of which (Stand by Me, Misery) were crafted by widely-respected director Rob Reiner. While The Shawshank Redemption is not a Reiner movie per se, it is a production of Castle Rock Pictures (Reiners film company), and ranks among the best filmed versions of any King stories to date.

Q: 死刑 A: death penalty, Penalty [‘pen?lti] n. 1.?惩罚, 处罚2.?不利后果, 损失3.?害处；不利4.?刑罚 New Words 2. rehabilitate: vt.本意是“康复、修复”， [,ri:h?’biliteit] 1.?改造(罪犯等), 使（长期服刑者）恢复正常生活; 使（重病患者）康复 2.?使恢复原状; 修复 e.g. The old house is to be rehabilitate.? 这座老房子将予修理。 在这个语境里，因为Red在申请假释，所以警察这句话不是问他 “你觉得你已经康复了吗？”而是问他是否已经“改邪归正”。 3.

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. 西尔斯-罗巴克连锁公司，美国一家著名的公司，以零售著称，历年都名列美国财富500强。（Red这里说自己能从监狱外把任何狱友们
