《阿甘正传 》英文对白(部分)

Hello. My name’s Forrest. ForrestGump. Do you want a chocolate? I could eat about amillion and a half of these. My mama always said “Life was like a box of chocolates. You neverknow what you’re going to get.” Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet© you could walk all day inshoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that.

Woman: My feet hurt. Forrest:

Mama always said “There’s an awful lot© you can tell about a person by their shoes.

“Wherethey’re going. Where they’ve been.” I’ve worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I couldremember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they was mymagic shoes.

Doctor:

Alright, Forrest. Open your eyes now. Let’s take a little walk around. How do those feel? Hislegs are strong, Mrs. Gump, as strong as I’ve ever seen. But his back is as crooked© as apolitician. But we’re going to straighten him right up now, aren’t we, Forrest?

Mrs.Gump:Forrest!

Forrest:

Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after© the great Civil War hero, General Nathan BedfordForrest. She said we was related to him in some way and what he did was, he started up this club calledthe Ku Klux Klan©. They’d all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghostsor spooks© or something. They’d even put bed sheets on their horses and ride around. Anyway, that’show I got my name,

ForrestGump. Mama said the Forrest part was to remind me that sometimes

we all do thingsthat, well, just don’t make no sense.

Mrs.Gump:

What are y’all starin’ at? Haven’t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before?Don’t ever let anybody tell you that they’re better than you, Forrest. If God intended everybody tobe the same, he’d have given us all braces

on our legs.

Forrest:

Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them. We lived about aquarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That’s in thecountry of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama’s family since her grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpahad come across the ocean a

bout a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just meand mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out©, mostly topeople passin’ through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That’s how me andmama got money. Mama was a real smart Lady.

Mrs.Gump:

Remember what I told you Forrest. You’re no different than anybody else is. Did you hearwhat I said, Forrest? You are the same as everybody else. You are no different .

Mr.Hillcock:

Your boy’s different, Mrs.Gump. His I.Q©. is 75. Mrs.Gump: Well, we’re all different,Mr.Hillcock.

Forrest:

She wanted me to have the finest education so she took me to theGreenbowCountyCentralSchool. I met the principal and all.

Mr.Hillcock:

I want to show you something, Mrs.Gump. Now this is normal. Forrest is right here. Thestate requires a minimum I.Q. of 80 to attend public school, Mrs.Gump. He’s going to have to go toa special school. He’ll be just fine.

What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on theslow side. But my boy, Forrest, is going to get the same opportunities as everyone else. He’s notgoing to some special school to learn how to retread© tires. We’re talking about five little pointshere. There must be something can be done.

Mr.Hillcock:

We’re a progressive school system. We don’t want to see anybody left behind. Is there a ...Mr.Gump, Mrs. Gump?

Mrs.Gump: He’s on vacation.

Mr.Hillcock: Eee,Eee,Eee… Your mama sure does care about your schooling, s

on. You don’t saymuch, do you?

Gump: Eee,Eee,Eee…

Mrs.Gump: (reading to Forrest) Finally, he had to try. It looked easy but... oh,

what happened?

Gump: Mama, what’s “vacation” mean? Mrs.Gump: Vacation? Gump: Where daddy went?

Mrs.Gump: Vacation is when you go somewhere and you don’t ever come

back.

Forrest:

Anyway, I guess you could say me and mama was on our own. But we didn’t mind. Our housewas never empty. There was always folks coming and going. Sometimes we had so many peoplestaying with us that every room was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin’ out of their suitcasesand hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitarcase.

(ForrestDances as the traveler sings “Hound Dog”)

Mrs.Gump:Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.

Elvis Presley: No, that’s alright Ma’am. I was just showing him a thing or two on the guitar here.

Mrs.Gump: Alright. Supper’s ready if y’all want to eat.

Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, Ma’am. Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you justdid there. Slow it down some. “You ain’t© nothing but a hound dog...”

Forrest:

I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music, swingin’ my hips.This night, me and mama was out shoppin’ and we walked right by Pitsey’s Furniture and Appliancestore. Guess what.?.. (Elvis was on TV Dancing the way that Forrest taught him)

Mrs.Gump: This is not for children’s eyes. Forrest:

Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sang toomany songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be har

d being the king... You know it’sfunny how you remember some things. But some things you can’t.

Mrs.Gump: You do your very best now, Forrest. Gump: I sure will, mama.

Forrest: I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well. Dorothy: Are you comingalong?

Gump: Mama said not to be taken rides from strangers.

Dorothy: This is the bus to school. Gump: I’m Forrest, ForrestGump. Dorothy: I’m Dorothy Harris. Gump: Well, now we ain’t strangers anymor

e. Kid: This seat’staken.

Other Kids: Taken. Different Kid: You can’t sit here.

Forrest:

You know it’s funny what a young man recollects©.

‘Cause I don’t remember being born. Idon’t recall what I got for my first Christmas. I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic.But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.

Little Jenny: You can sit here if you want.

Forrest: I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was like an ang

el.

wrong with your legs?

Gump: Nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and Dandy©.

Forrest: I just sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way t

o school.

Gump: The doctor says my back’s crooked like a question mark. These are g

oing to make me asstraight as an arrow.

Forrest: Next to© mama, no one ever talked to me or asked me questions. Little Jenny: Are you stupid or something?

Gump: Mama says “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Little Jenny: I’m Jenny. Gump: I’m Forrest. ForrestGump.

Forrest: From that day on, we were always together. Jenny and me were like

peas and carrots©.She taught me how to climb. I showed her how to Dangle. She helped me learn how toread, and I showed her how to swing. Sometimes we’d just sit out and wait for the stars.

Gump: Mama’s going to worry about me. Little Jenny: Just stay a little longer.

Forrest: For some reason, Jenny didn’t ever want to go home. Gump: OK, Jenny. I’ll stay.

Forrest: She was my most special friend... My only friend. Now, my mama alw

ays told me thatmiracles happen everyday. Some people don’t think so.But they do.

Bully1: Hey, dummy©! Are you dumb, or just plain stupid? Bully2: Look, I’m ForrestGump.

Little Jenny: Just run away, Forrest. Run, Forrest. Run away.Hurry!

Bully2: Get the bikes. Hurry up.

Bully1: Look out, dummy, here we come. Gonna get you! Little Jenny: Run, Forrest. Run, Forrest. Bully1: Come back here, you! Little Jenny: Run, Forrest, Run! Forrest:

Now, You wouldn’t believe it if I told you. But I can run like the wind blows. From that day on,if I was going somewhere, I was running! Man in store: That boy sure is a run fool.

Forrest: Now, remember how I told you that Jenny never seemed to want to

go home? Well,she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she wasfive and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.

Gump: (knock on the door) Jenny?

Forrest: He was a very loving man. He was always kissin’ and touchin’ her

and her sisters. Andthen this one time, Jenny wasn’t on the bus to go to school.

Gump: Jenny, why didn’t you come to school today?

Little Jenny: Shh! Daddy’s taking a nap.

Father: Jenny!

Little Jenny: C’mon!

Father: Jenny! Where’d you run to? You’d better get back here, girl. Jenny? Where you at?

Little Jenny: Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me. Dear God, make me a bird,

so I can fly far, farfar away from here. Dear God, make me a bird...So I can fly far…

Forrest:

Mama always said that God is mysterious. He didn’t turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead, he had thepolice say that Jenny didn’t have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma, justover on Greekmore Ave., which made me happy ‘cause she was so close. Some nights, Jenny wouldsneak out© and come on over to my house, just’ cause she said she was scared. Scared of what? I don’tknow.But I think it was her grandma’s dog. He was a mean© dog. Anyway, Jenny and me was bestfriends all the way up through high school.
