英语罐头

本文是我的第28篇双语精读

近段时间,不少朋友在关注疫情的同时,还会关注今年的奥斯卡电影,大家的关注点都在《寄生虫》获奖上面。罐头菌由于没看过这电影,所以心中毫无波澜。然而,罐头菌的关注点落在了今年的“最佳男主角”上。

今年的“最佳男主角”,由《小丑》的扮演者——华金·菲尼克斯(Joaquin Phoenix)获得。本来罐头菌就很喜欢《蝙蝠侠》《小丑》相关的电影,然而,听完华金·菲尼克斯在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上的演讲,更是尤为感动,这样精彩的演讲发言,确实不多见。

“小丑”奥斯卡演讲,这一点都不小丑,太感人了!

关于这个演讲,罐头菌拿出了一些我比较喜欢,以及一些能学习的段落。

I'm full of so much gratitude right now. And I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees or anyone in this room because we share the same love, the love of film.

此时此刻,我心中充满着感激。我并不觉得我比其他提名者或者在场的任何一位要优异,因为我们都同享着对电影的热爱。

And this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life. I don't know what I'd be without it.

电影这样的表达方式给予了我无与伦比的人生。非常难以想象假如没有了它,我会变得怎么样。

But I think the greatest gift that it's given me, and many of us in this room, is the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless.

但我认为电影给予我和在座各位的最大的礼物是,让我们有机会用我们的声音为无声者发声。

elevated above:优于,比...高

nominees:提名者

虽然互联网时代给予了非常多人为自己发声的机会,但是真正有机会发声的人,还是那些处于社会上流的人。看到华金·菲尼克斯说这话时,罐头菌想起自己做自媒体的最初目的,也是为了让自己有更大的声音,让自己可以分享更加多知识,分享出更多值得传播的价值观。

And I think we fear the idea of personal change because we think that we have to sacrifice something, to give something up, but human beings, at our best, are so inventive and creative and ingenious.

我认为,我们害怕个人的变化是因为我们认为变化往往会带来牺牲与放弃,但其实,竭尽全力的人类,是多么的聪慧,多么的有创造力。

And I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop and implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings and to the environment.

当我们用爱与怜悯之心作为原则,一定能够创造,发展并且实现一系列的变化,并且让众生与自然环境有所受益。

at our best:尽我们所能,最好的状态

sentient being:众生

Now, I have been, I have been a scoundrel in my life. I've been selfish. I've been cruel at times, hard to work with, and I'm grateful that so many of you in this room have given me a second chance.

我曾经是一个无赖,之前的我自私,残忍并且难以相处,而我很感谢在座的大家给与我第二次机会。

And I think that's when we're at our best, when we support each other, not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption. That is the best of humanity.

而我认为,当我们在最好的状态,当我们相互支持,而不因为过去的错误而互相指责,相互帮助,相互学习,共同成长而走向救赎。这就是人类最好的状态。

When he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric. He said, "Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow."

我哥哥在17岁的时候写过这样的歌词:“带着爱奔走援助,和平随即而至。”

scoundrel:混蛋,无赖

hard to work with:难以相处

cancel each other:相互抵消,相互指责

Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow.

带着爱奔走援助,和平随即而至。

真的是非常的好一句歌词,带着爱互相奔走,世界也会少很多争端吧。
