3. 品味臺詞，沉浸賞析

——面對無盡的戰(zhàn)爭，提倡種族平等的你，將如何發(fā)表反戰(zhàn)演說？

• Yes, we are against any war where black soldiers are sent to the front line to die for a country that hates them. Yes, we are against any war where black soldiers go to fight and come to be brutalized and killed in their own communities as they sleep in their beds at night.

——當與多年故友重逢卻不得不匆匆分別，你會怎樣描述你們分別前的最后一晚？

• We walked around all night, Jenny and me, just talkin’. She told me about all the traveling she’d done and how she discovered way to expand her mind, and learn how to live in harmony...... It was a very special night for the two of us, I didn’t want to end.

——親愛的女孩即將遠行，送別時你會怎樣對她表白？

• ‘I want you to have this.’

  ‘Forrest, I can’t keep this.’

  ‘I got it just by doing what you told me to do.’

  ‘Why are you so good to me?’

  ‘You’re my girl.’

  ‘I’ll always be your girl.’

4. 文化背景，多彩世界

• ? 墮落與救贖——你知道美國“垮掉的一代”經歷過的大風大浪嗎？

????????The background of the film is set in the 1940s to 1980s, which is also a turbulent period in American history, with various forms of civil rights movement, political assassination, women's liberation movement one after another. Drugs, sexual liberation, rock music and other phenomena constantly impact people's moral concepts and traditional ideas. The so-called "Beat generation" in the United States refers to the group of young people living in this era, and the hero Forrest Gump, as a typical representative of them, experienced many major historical events during this period: the Vietnam War, the anti-war rally, the assassination of JFK and the invasion of the Black Panther Party headquarters, etc. But it was this group of supposedly hopeless young people who would later produce Elvis Presley, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other assorted elites who would lay the foundation of America's future. It is the efforts and struggles of these people, for the US soldiers after the Vietnam War to win the probability of more than 30% of the free university education. It is these large-scale high-investment education and open way of thinking that laid the foundation for the United States to become a manufacturing power.

?? ????影片的背景是設定在20世紀40年代至80年代，這段時期也是美國歷史上比較動蕩的年代，各種形式的民權運動、政治暗殺、婦女解放運動此起彼伏，毒品、性解放、搖滾樂等現(xiàn)象不斷沖擊著人們的道德觀念和傳統(tǒng)思想。美國所謂的“垮掉的一代”，指的就是生活在這個年代的那批年輕人，而主人公阿甘作為他們的典型代表就經歷了這段時期的很多重大歷史事件：越南戰(zhàn)爭、反戰(zhàn)集會、肯尼迪被刺殺和大鬧黑豹黨總部等等。然而就是這批被認為無可救藥的年輕人在后來的歲月中產生了貓王、比爾蓋茨、喬布斯等奠定了美國未來基業(yè)的各色精英人士。正是在這些人的努力和爭取之下，才為越戰(zhàn)之后的美國大兵爭取到了概率高達30%多的免費大學教育。也正是這些大面積的高投入教育和開放式的思維方式，才為美國后來成為制造業(yè)大國奠定了基礎。

• ? 戰(zhàn)爭與和平——阿甘正傳中的越戰(zhàn)元素？

????????The Vietnam War was a war between South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam), which was supported by capitalist countries including the United States, and North Vietnam (Democratic Republic of Vietnam), which was supported by socialist countries including the Soviet Union, and the South Vietnam National Liberation Front. It took place in Vietnam (the main battlefield), Laos and Cambodia during the Cold War. After the Second World War, a large-scale local war broke out in Southeast Asia, which had a profound impact on Asian international politics.

????????Interestingly, in the movie Forrest Gump was deployed to Vietnam in 1967 with his 47th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division. The 47th Infantry is a real U.S. Army regiment that has been involved in numerous conflicts dating back to World War I. Although the 47th is currently responsible for training new recruits, they did deploy to Vietnam from 1966 to 1971. So Forrest Gump may not be real, but his army is.

????????越南戰(zhàn)爭是美國等資本主義陣營國家支持的南越（越南共和國）對抗由蘇聯(lián)等社會主義陣營國家支持的北越（越南民主共和國）和“越南南方民族解放陣線”的一場戰(zhàn)爭。發(fā)生于冷戰(zhàn)時期的越南（主戰(zhàn)場）、老撾、柬埔寨。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后東南亞爆發(fā)的一場大規(guī)模局部戰(zhàn)爭，對亞洲國際政治產生了深遠的影響。

????????有趣的是，在電影中阿甘隨其隸屬的第9步兵師第47步兵團在1967年被派往越南。第47步兵團是一個真實存在的美國陸軍團，從第一次世界大戰(zhàn)開始就卷入了多次沖突。雖然47團目前主要負責訓練新兵，但他們從1966年到1971年的確被派往越南。因此阿甘可能不是真的存在，但他的部隊是真實的。

• ? 信仰與神話——為什么美國人喜歡去教堂？

????????Americans believe that human beings are born with original sin (the first Adam and Eve committed a crime: eating the forbidden fruit), and Jesus sacrificed himself to make atonement and save mankind. Atonement must therefore be made through faith in God, church attendance and constant repentance. Thus we can get the pleasure and joy of purifying our mind and releasing our body and mind, and begin our journey back to God. The omnipotent God is the "savior" in American society. Even the political life of the country is full of God's shadow. The "prayer" in the parliamentary process, the oath of the witness in the judicial trial, is a confession of God. God is not only a product of spiritual belief, but also a guiding force in political and economic life.

????????美國人認為人生來有原罪(始祖亞當和夏娃犯戒：偷吃禁果)，而耶穌通過犧牲自己來進行贖罪和拯救人類。因此必須通過信仰上帝、去教堂參加宗教儀式和不斷懺悔來贖罪。從而得到心靈凈化和身心解脫的愉悅與歡樂，開始回歸上帝的征程。無所不能的上帝在美國社會是“救世主”。就連國家的政治生活中到處都充滿上帝的影子。議會過程中的“祈禱”，司法審判中證人的宣誓，都是向上帝表白。上帝不僅僅是精神信仰的產物，而且成了政治經濟生活的某種指導力量。

????????在廣闊的藍天下，一根輕盈而潔白的羽毛從天而降，緩緩地降落在阿甘的腳下。

????????“阿甘，快跑。”他把自己僅有的智慧、信念、勇氣集中在一起，他拋棄了所有的雜念，憑著直覺在路上不停地跑。善良，真誠，淳樸，豁達。他沒有豪言壯語，卻以自己的行動幫助了貌似強悍的正常人，他的行為與成就正說明生活的真諦是真誠、坦蕩與平凡。

????????“人生就像一盒巧克力，你永遠不知道下一塊是什么味道?！?/p>

????????做自己，過好每一分每一秒。既然不能控制下一秒，那么完美的結束這一秒就好。
