Dead Poets Society

I went to the woods
我步入叢林，
　　
because I wanted to live deliberately,
因為我希望生活得有意義。
　　
I wanted to live deep
我希望活得深刻，
　　
and suck out all the marrow of life,
吸取生命中的所有精華，
把非生命的一切都擊潰。
　　
and not when I had come to die,
以免當我生命終結時，
　　
discover that I had not lived.
卻發現自己從來沒有活過。

最後Todd 安德生喊出O Captain, my Captain的時候，當學生一個個站到桌子上的時候，看著John Keating老師滿足卻也惜惜不捨的眼神的時候，我也飽含了淚水。

We don't read and write poetry
because it's cute.
我們讀詩寫詩，非為它的靈巧
　　
We read and write poetry because
we are members of the human race
我們讀詩寫詩
因為我們是人類的一員
　　
and the human race
is filled with passion.
而人類充滿了熱情
　　
And medicine, law, business, engineering
醫藥，法律，商業，工程
　　
these are noble pursuits
and necessary to sustain life.
這些都是高貴的理想
並且是維生的必需條件
　　
But poetry, beauty，romance, love
但是詩，美，浪漫，愛
　　
these are what we stay alive for.
這些才是我們生存的原因

Just when you think you know something,
you have to look at it in another way.
當你認為你知道某件事時
必須再以不同角度看它
　　
Even though it may seem silly
or wrong, you must try!
即使那看來似乎愚笨或錯誤
你們都必須試試
　　
Now, when you read, don't just consider
what the author thinks...
當你閱讀時
別只想到作者的見解
　　
consider what you think.
想想你的見解
--------------------------------------　　
Boys, you must strive to find
your own voice.
孩子們，你們必須…
努力尋找自己的聲音
　　
Because the longer you wait to begin,
the less likely you are
to find it at all.
因為你等候起步的時間愈長
便愈不可能找到它
　　
Thoreau said, 「Most men lead lives
of quiet desperation.」
梭羅說「大多數人都生活在平靜的絕望中」
　　
Don't be resigned to that.
Break out!
別聽任此事發生
要突破！

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 the wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.」

Don't just walk off the edge
like lemmings. Look around you.
別像旅鼠般盲目由崖邊跳下
環顧四週

Seize the day, make your lives extraordinary.

Carpe diem(拉丁文)=Seize the day

No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.

I thought the purpose of education was to learn to think for yourself.
