Kung Fu Panda功夫熊猫——每个东谈主都有一隅之地
◎文 / Ivy Wang
梦工场2008年暑期档的《功夫熊猫》（Kung Fu Panda）给5·12地震后的中国带来了一点柔和的暖意。这不单是是因为它真的很搞笑，而且是因为它真的很中国：在中国村生泊长的各个动物变装，翡翠神殿里的瓷器、羊毫，屋顶和柱子上的龙图腾，肩舆，乌龟内行的中国形而上学……处处充满了中国元素。
拉面店小开熊猫阿宝（Po）最终成为了维持和平谷的神龙大侠（Dragon Warrior）、这种好意思国式的个东谈主袼褙主见同期也烘托着中国式的纵欲情感。在生活的好意思美梦念念园里，每个东谈主都有一隅之地。正如阿宝爸爸说的：We all have our places in the world、不管环境怎样，不管世界怎样改变，只消心中怀有梦念念，咱们就一定能找到我方的一隅之地，就像阿宝一样。
对功夫情有独钟的拉面小开
故事的开首是一组典型的古龙式短镜头：一身的大侠走遍万水千山但求一个敌手。他自鸣得意，艺妙手胆大，面对劲敌仍安祥自得地吃饭。吞下食品，大侠只说了一句话：“Enough talk! Let's fight!”一招半式中，劲敌化为乌有。面对谢忱涕泣的匹夫，大侠的披风在风中猎猎飞行……
醒来却是南柯一梦。阿宝照旧阿谁肥美、固执，连横卧起坐也弗成完成的大熊猫。穿上围裙，阿宝照旧得一如往常地在拉面店帮工。阿宝的鸭子爸爸是个对拉面怀有无尽热忱的东谈主。他但愿阿宝能成为像他那样的东谈主，最终剿袭拉面店。而对中国功夫情有独钟的阿宝，对剿袭拉面店莫得涓滴的兴致。是以这天早上，当阿宝骗鸭子爸爸说他作念的梦和拉面相干的时候，鸭子爸爸的惊喜之情言外之意。
Dad: Po. Let's go. You're late for work.
Po: Coming! Sorry, Dad.
Dad: Sorry doesn't make the noodles. What were you doing up there? All that noise?
Po: Oh ... nothing. Just ... aah ... had a crazy dream.
Dad: About what?
Po: Uh?
Dad: What were you dreaming about?
Po: What was I ... aah ... I was dreaming about ... aah ... noodles.
Dad: Noodles? You were really dreaming about noodles?
Po: Uh ... Ya, what else would I be dreaming about? Oh, careful. That soup is—sharp!
Dad: Oh ... happy day. My son is finally having the noodle dream. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment. This is a sign, Po.
Po: Uh ... a sign of what?
Dad: You are almost ready to beentrusted(交托) with the secretingredient(配料) of my secret ingredient soup. And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant, just as I took it over from my father, who took it over from his father, who won it from a friend in a game ofmahjong(麻将).
Po: Dad, Dad, Dad. It was just a dream.
Dad: No, it was The Dream. We are noodle folk;broth(肉汤) runs through our veins.
磨砖成镜，入选神龙大侠
乌龟内行（Master Oogway）意象想残豹太郎（Tai Lung）行将逃离天牢、回到和平谷来报仇，于是他决定要从神奇五侠中选出一位作念神龙大侠，让他剿袭“神龙卷轴（Dragon Scroll）”里的武功阴私，守卫和平谷。而赶去看聘任赛的阿宝却铸成大错地成了神龙大侠。第一天的考验下来，阿宝险些接近于零的武功基础不仅让浣熊师父大失所望，也使阿宝的自信心备受打击。扫数东谈主都在排挤阿宝。不振特别的阿宝来到桃树下觅食外加散心，却无意地成绩了乌龟内行的一番轻诺寡信。
Master Oogway: I see you've found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Po: Oh ... Is that what this is? I'm so sorry. I thought it was just a regular peach tree.
Master Oogway: I understand. You eat when you are upset.
Po: Upset? I'm not upset. Why ... why ... why would I be upset?
Master Oogway: So why are you upset?
Po: I probablysucked(令东谈主厌烦) more today than anyone in the history of kung fu, in the history of China, in the history of sucking.
Master Oogway: Probably.
Po: And the Five ... Man, you should have seen them. They totally hate me.
Master Oogway: Totally.
Po: How's Shifu ever going to turn me into the Dragon Warrior? I mean I'm not like the Five. I've got no claws, no wings, novenom(毒液). Even Mantis had those ... things. Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Master Oogway: Quit. Don't quit. Noodles. Don't noodles. You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There's a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present".
信赖，变不可能为可能
然则，除了乌龟内行，扫数的东谈主都不信赖阿宝，包括阿宝我方。一个固执贪馋的大胖子怎样能打败凶狠的残豹太郎，维持和平谷？正如乌龟内行预念念的一样，太郎照旧逃狱，正在来和平谷报仇的路上，但浣熊师父照旧对持觉得阿宝根柢不是神龙大侠，以至觉得阿宝的出现本人就是一场无意。
Master Oogway: That is bad news ... if you do not believe that the Dragon Warrior can stop him.
Shifu: Panda? Master, that Panda is not the Dragon Warrior. He wasn't even meant to be here. It was an accident.
Master Oogway: There are no accidents.
Shifu: Yes, I know. You said that already. Twice.
Master Oogway: Well, that was no accident either.
Shifu: Thrice.
Master Oogway: My old friend, the Panda will never fulfill hisdestiny(运谈), nor you, yours, until you let go of theillusion(错觉) of control.
Shifu: Illusion?
Master Oogway: Yes. Look at this tree, Shifu. I cannot make itblossom(着花) when it suits me, nor make it bearfruit(后果实) before its time.
Shifu: But there are things we can control. I can control when the fruit will fall. I can control where to plant the seed. That is no illusion, Master.
Master Oogway: Ah ... yes, but no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange. But you will get a peach.
Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung.
Master Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide it, tonurture(培育) it, to believe in it.
Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, Master.
Master Oogway: No, you just need to believe. Promise me, Shifu. Promise me, you will believe.
Shifu: I ... I will try.
从零开动，神龙大侠纠正
乌龟内行不久仙去，浣熊师父决定信赖乌龟内行的话，尽全力把阿宝改形成信得过的神龙大侠。
Shifu: You cannot leave! A real warrior never quits! Watch me!
Po: Come on! How am I supposed to beat Tai Lung? I can't even beat you to the stairs.
Shifu: You will beat him because you are the Dragon Warrior.
Po: Ouch! You don't believe that! Oh! You never believed that. From the first moment I got here, you've been trying to get rid of me.
Shifu: Yes, I was! But now I ask you to trust in your Master as I have come to trust in mine.
Po: You are not my Master. And I am not the Dragon Warrior.
Shifu: Then why didn't you quit? You knew I was trying to get rid of you. Yet you stayed!
Po: Yeah. I stayed. I stayed because every time you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled, it hurt! But it could never hurt more than it did everyday in my life just being me. I stayed because I thought if anyone could change me, could make me not me ... it was you, the greatest kung fu teacher of all of China.
Shifu: But I can change you! I can turn you into the Dragon Warrior. And I will!
考验历程十分沉重，但是阿宝遥远保持着乐不雅的心态不扬弃。条目不高，即使当了神龙大侠也不错从零级练起，熟悉功夫不错从抢包子开动。
顿悟“神龙阴私”的真理
阿宝最终拿到了神龙阴私。然则，打败残豹并不像念念象中的那么容易。因为神龙阴私竟然是无字天书！乌龟内行已然仙去，还有谁不错遏制残豹的跋扈流毒？“神龙五侠”弗成，浣熊师父也弗成。阿宝呢？莫得神龙阴私，他天然也弗成。
和平谷的住户们开动裁撤。大众对神龙大侠相称失望，一个肥美不消的熊猫无法维持世界。唯独鸭子爸爸照旧乐不雅积极。路上，爸爸兴隆地告诉了阿宝拉面的好意思妙，由此，阿宝开动明白了神龙阴私的真理。原来阿宝怒放阴私后看到的是铜镜中的我方，阴私的真理在于找到我方，信赖我方！
Dad: Po, I'm sorry things didn't work out. It just wasn't meant to be. Po, forget everything else. Your destiny still awaits. We are noodle folk. Broth runs deep through our veins.
Po: I don't know, Dad. Honestly, sometimes I can't believe I'm actually your son.
Dad: Po, I think it's time I told you something I should have told you a long time ago.
Po: Okay.
Dad: The secret ingredient of my secret ingredient soup ...
Po: Oh....
Dad: Come and hear me. The secret ingredient is ... nothing!
Po: Hah?
Dad: But you heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.
Po: Wait, wait. It's just plain old noodle soup? You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
Dad: Don't have to. To make something special, you just have to believe it's special.
故事如大众所料，典型的好莱坞式结局。充满自信的阿宝打败了残豹，维持了和平谷的住户。正如乌龟内行说的：Nothing is impossible.
电影中的形而上学
Today is a gift.
令好多东谈主印象深刻的是乌龟内行的一句台词，“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the'present.'”这句话其实是Spencer Johnson所著的The Present中最广为流传的一句。阿宝就是阿谁活在当下的东谈主。有梦念念，有已往，但阿宝贯注的是每天少量一滴的生活。昨天照旧已往，未来全然未知，咱们能够把执的唯独今天。其实只消过好了每一天，咱们就能过好一世。
There are no accidents.
佛说因果。万事万物都有其存在和沦一火的原因。有因，必有果；有果，必有因。莫得一个总共的因，也莫得一个总共的果。世界上的万事万物，是无数的因果畅达和依存的关系，它们组织成为一个极其纵横交叉的陷坑，互相交错。乌龟内行说莫得有时，其实就是这个道理。目前的一切，其实早已注定了；而来日的一切，你正在锻造。莫得什么事情是有时发生的，每天的少量一滴恰是铸就东谈主生的基石。
No news is good or bad.
《谈德经·五十八章》云：“祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。”正不错忽然改革为邪，善也不错忽然改革为恶，吉凶天然也在互相依存互相改革中。天地间的一切事物都在畅通变化之中。因此，消息无所谓好坏，关节在于咱们要有打发一切的心态。

Slumdog Millionaire穷人窟的百万富翁——谜底在狂暴的东谈主生里
◎文／李闪程明
第81届奥斯卡金像奖受奖仪式已落下帷幕。英国导演Danny Boyle的作品《穷人窟的百万富翁》（Slumdog Millionaire）一举夺得八座“小金东谈主”。
这部低资本的孤独制作电影，赢得了不雅众和影评东谈主的一致好评，可谓是Danny Boyle在1996年的Trainspotting（《猜火车》）之后，又一部经典之作。
影片在一场阴雨颜色的审讯中拉开序幕，荧幕上以字幕形态出现一谈奇怪的弃取题：
Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it?
A. He cheated.
B. He's lucky.
C. He's a genius.
D.It is written(射中注定).
影片的主东谈主公Jamal Malik是一个降生于印度孟买穷人窟的小伙子，他参加了“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire？”的电视节目（近似中国的《欢快辞典》）。在世界不雅众的热烈关注下，Jamal一齐过五关斩六将，用一个个正确的谜底回敬阿谁对他冷嘲热讽、黧黑使坏的垄断东谈主Prem Kumar。而他所取得的奖金也一齐攀升，达到了一千万卢比（约24万好意思元）。就在他将要回话临了一个问题时，节目结果的时分到了，Jamal不得不在第二天络续回话这个问题。答对，他将成为这个节规划神话，成为百万富翁；答错，他将一分钱也拿不到。
但Prem怀疑Jamal舞弊，在今日的节目结果后，便将他送进了巡警局。Prem不信赖这个降生穷人窟、莫得受过任何正规栽植、帮东谈主倒茶的18岁少年能答对扫数的题。在巡警逼问Jamal是怎样舞弊的时候，虽受尽了电刑和拷打，依然坚称我方知谈问题的谜底。因为这些谜底，都来自他十几年东谈主生里切切实实的狂暴经历：那些在穷人窟成长的日子、那些仓皇坎坷的生活和阿谁顾虑中挥之不去的伙伴。
20世纪90年代初期的印度孟买，贫富差距相称显著，穷人窟就位于市中心旁。在这里，垃圾在空旷的草地上狂放堆放，塑料袋在污黑的河水里等闲飘扬，而Jamal就在这里渡过了他的童年时光。少年们在纷杂破落的平房里窜上窜下，爬上屋顶，又跳下窄巷。有的孩子早早就领有了手枪，和黑谈东谈主士商业甚密；有的孩子照旧懂得筹画群众茅厕，赚几毛钱糊口。
Jamal在小时候就是执拗得一根筋的孩子。当他得知穷人窟旁的飞机场有一个大明星抵达，被锁在茅厕里的他为了要一张偶像的签名，竟然捏着鼻子跳下粪坑钻出茅厕，最终唯独他拿到了偶像的签名。
再鲁钝的孩子回到家仍然有姆妈疼，但Jamal却亲眼目睹了母亲的离开。她在穆斯林与印度教教徒之间的冲突中被东谈主一棍毙命，他们的屋子也被大火点火了，Jamal和哥哥Salim得以荣幸脱逃。在惊慌奔逃中，手足俩遭遇了相似失去父母的小女孩Latika。这晚大雨汹涌，和睦的Jamal念念让Latika一齐进车箱躲雨，Salim却一口阻隔。
Salim:Piss off(滚蛋)! She'll have the security guard on us!
Jamal: Let her in. She could be the thirdmusketeer(火枪手).
Salim: I'm the elder in this family now, and I say, she's not coming in, okay? In any case, we don't even know the name of the third bloody musketeer.
但是三东谈主照旧走在了一齐，自称“三个火枪手”，在垃圾堆上存一火相许。自后，他们三个和许多别的孩子一齐被乞讨蛇头Maman收留。Maman名义上给他们提供吃住，但暗自里却将他们挑升整成残疾，以更好地博得东谈主们的怜悯，在乞讨中为他挣更多的钱。就在Maman念念要像对待其他孩子那样毒瞎Jamal的眼睛时，Salim带着Jamal逃出了他的魔掌，爬上了一辆火车，但跑在后头的Latika却没能爬上那辆火车，被Maman抓了且归。
Latika—直望着随火车渐行渐远的Jamal——这画面遥远在Jamal脑海中挥之不去，令他心碎。
在流一火中长大
Jamal和Salim开动了更狂暴的流一火生活。他们生活在疾驰的火车车顶，靠偷乘客的食品为生；他们浪荡在旅游景区，胡编乱造地给旅客导游；他们被敌视，被殴打，被吊销，但这却是手足俩东谈主生中较为餍足的一段时光。不外，单纯和睦的Jamal从来莫得健忘Latika，从来莫得罢手回孟买找她的念念法。多年之后，在Jamal的对持下，手足俩回到了孟买。Jamal一边打工一边寻找Latika，对弟弟的这份执着Salim却十分不睬解。
Jamal: I'm going toChowpatty, okay? Wanna come?
Salim: For God's sake, you've got some disease? You're forcing back to this shithole. We leave our friends, a good life, lots of money. For this?!
Jamal: We came back to find her.
Salim: You did. I don't give a shit about her, plenty of pussy in Bombay for Salim. Oh yes! You should come back to the Cages on Saturday night, instead of ghost searching for your lost love.
Jamal: I'm going to Chowpatty.
Salim: There are 19 million people in this city, Jamal. Forget about her.
无论哥哥怎样劝说，Jamal照旧唯独那句话“I'm going to Chowpatty”。在别东谈主眼中，Jamal的步履近乎跋扈：为了寻找童年失踪的伙伴Latika，不管付出多大代价他都在所不吝。自后，Jamal遭遇了当年一齐乞讨的小伙伴Arvind。Arvind当年不幸被Maman毒瞎了眼睛，于今还在卖唱乞讨。Jamal站在Arvind眼前愁肠地看着他，并给了他100好意思元。这个无比可怜的少年，莫得衔恨生活，莫得吊问运谈，他含笑着祈福了Jamal，为他的“富余”感到沸腾。在他的指点下，Jamal找到了Latika，两东谈主终于再次碰头了。
Latika: You came back for me? Jamal: Of course.
Latika: I thought you'd forgotten.
Jamal: I never forgot ... not for one moment. I knew I'd find you in the end. It's our destiny.
Latika: Destiny? Thank you.
“这是咱们的宿命”，这是印度东谈主最诚实的信条。但悍戾的Salim却抢走了Latika。他拿着一支左轮手枪指着Jamal，对他说：“I am the elder. I am the boss.”衰颓的Jamal和Salim、Latika失去了结合，开动独自一东谈主生活。
执着寻她千百度
渐渐长大的Jamal在一个电话做事中心找了份使命，为那边的东谈主端茶倒水。一次有时的契机，Jamal竟然用电话做事系统连络到了Salim，手足二东谈主相约碰头。
Jamal见到Salim时难以遏制满腔的盛怒，冲上去与Salim厮打起来。他愤恨Salim的溜之大吉，也悔恨他抢走了Latika。打完架的两手足，隔着一段距离并列坐着。他们碰头的场所是一幢正在营建的大楼。从这里向远处望去，孟买照旧换了式样，他们从前住的穷人窟照旧被汗牛充栋的高楼取代。而穷人窟降生的流氓Javed Khan成了地产富翁，Salim如今随着他作念事，俨然成为信得过的黑谈混混。
Salim: That used to be our slum. Can you believe that, huh? We used to live right there man. Now it's all business. India is at the center of the world now. Bhai. And I ... I am at the center of the center. This is all Javed heights.
Jamal向他估量Latika的下降，得到的回话却是“她走了，遥远地走了”。满心胸疑的Jamal追踪Salim来到Javed的住处，确凿在那边见到了他一直牵挂的Latika，再次再见的两东谈主紧紧相拥。
Latika: Jamal, look at you.
Jamal: I've found you. I've found you. Your face. You've hurt your eye.
Latika: Why are you here?
Jamal: To see you.
Latika: You see me, now what?
Jamal: Why does everyone love this program? [此时Latika房间的电视上正在播放“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire？”
Latika: This is a chance to escape, isn't it? Walk into another life. Oh, God. Javed will kill you. Here.
Jamal: Javed? You are with him?
....
Jamal: Come away with me.
Latika: Away? Where? And live out of what?
Jamal: Love. Come away with me now. Salim will help us.
Latika: Salim? You still believe in Salim? Jamal, I'll be gone soon anyway. We're getting out of Bombay.
Jamal: Where?
Latika: You think he'd tell me?
....
Latika: Go, before he kills us both. You want to do something for me? Jamal: Anything.
Latika: Then forget me.
Jamal: What? No. I will wait. The VT Station, 5 o'clock, every day until you come. I love you.
尔后每六合午五点，Jamal都到火车站恭候，时时刻刻，痴心不改。终于有一天他看到一个身着黄裙的女孩子，畏首畏尾之际，循着他的呼喊仰起了头，袒露了秀气的笑脸，那是Latika！耿介Jamal奔向她的时候，一群东谈主冲了上来，把Latika带走了。很明显这是Javed的东谈主，而带头的恰是哥哥Salim。Jamal再一次失去了Latika。这之后，Javed带着Latika搬离孟买，Jamal再也无从得知她的下降。
爱鄙人午五点的车站
为了络续寻找Latika，Jamal饱读起勇气参加了“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire？”节目，因为他知谈Latika可爱看这个节目，他期待Latika能在电视上看到他。凭着顾虑里的片断，Jamal一齐过五关斩六将，配置了历史性的一刻，赢取了一千万卢比，只差临了一个问题他就不错拿到两千万卢比。老羞成怒的节目雇主兼垄断东谈主Prem嘴上说着“但愿你未来准时来参赛”，暗自里却找来警探将他关押受审。但审讯的巡警听完Jamal一连串的东谈主生故过后，弃取信赖他，让他回到了节目现场。
Police: It is a bizarrely plausible, and yet....
Jamal: Because I'm a slumdog, achaiwalla(茶水工). I'm a liar, right?
Police: Most of you are. But you are not a liar, Mr. Malik. That's for sure. You are too truthful. We're done.
就在这整夜间，Jamal成为了新绅士物，全印度都在等着看他能弗成拿到那两千万卢比。Latika在电视上看着他，Salim也看着他。在这一刻，Salim动摇了，他遥远是最了解弟弟的，Jamal从不扬弃的脾气，从小到大涓滴未改。他欠Jamal太多，这一次他决定匡助Latika和Jamal。他把车钥匙和我方的手机都给了Latika，我方则擦亮了枪，在浴缸里铺满钞票，准备着和我方的衰老Javed决死较量。
而此刻，节目现场的Jamal正在收受两千万卢比的问题的考验。这是谈相干《三个火枪手》的问题，尽管Jamal曾见过这本演义，还与Salim和Latika一齐自称“三个火枪手”，但他只知谈其中两个火枪手的名字。他弃取了使用“场外电话乞助”，打给他的哥哥——他电话簿里惟一的号码。在临了一刻，一个女声从电话里传出，喜不自禁的Jamal知谈这是Latika的声息。
Latika: Hello? Hello, Jamal?
Jamal: Is that really you?
Latika: Yes.
Jamal: Where are you?
Latika: I am safe.
30秒的估量时分很快已往，Latika也不知谈谜底。Jamal找寻Latika的规划照旧达到，钞票对他来说照旧不焦虑了。接下来的唯独凭庆幸，Jamal再一次化险为夷弃取了正确谜底！于是，通盘印度再一次在电视机前跋扈，Jamal赢得了两千万卢比。第二六合午五点，Jamal和Latika终于在车站相逢。
Jamal: I knew you'd be watching.
Latika: I thought we'd be together only in death.
Jamal: This is our destiny.
影片塑造了一个童话般的结局，Jamal在“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”节目中如有神助得手过关，那些可怜的生活经历给了他一个个正确谜底，而深植于心的本分和和睦匡助他得到了“幸运之神”的留恋。
这即是一个穷人窟少年参加“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”节规划故事，险象环生，也有血有泪。他参加这个比赛的初志全然不是为了赢取钞票，而是为了寻找童年失踪的伙伴。在他饿莩遍野的十几年性射中，无论怎样困顿怎样困苦，他都不曾扬弃这个念念法。这份对持与执着，是他在浊世中糊口下来的兵器，亦然让他最终实现愿望的法宝。
临了，影片开动的问题谜底揭晓：D. It is written！谜底在狂暴的东谈主生里，更在耿直、和睦的东谈主的对持与执着中！

The Pursuit of Happyness当幸福来叩门——砸开幸福之门
◎文／江晓弘
未来不一定更好意思好，但好意思好的未来一定会莅临。电影The Pursuit of Happyness正反馈了这样一个信念。这部笔据真东谈主真事改编的电影体现了主东谈主公Chris Gardner的追梦之旅以及他和女儿Christopher间深厚的父子情。
Hold Fast to Your Dreams
Chris Gardner（Will Smith饰）是一位普通的医疗器械倾销员，他花光扫数的蓄积买下了堆满一面墙的骨密度测定仪，确信这些revolutionary machine一定会卖得很好，一定能让他和妻儿过上幸福的生活。可履行生活不遂东谈主愿，听任Chris怎样发奋，都很难卖出这种测定仪。于是，生活开动变得扭捏不定。浑家不得不在工场上double shift work（两班倒）来贴补家用。他们五岁的女儿Christopher只能每天被寄放在收费便宜的日托所里。
Chris这样一个耿直、坚定的男东谈主，却总没认识让家里过上好日子。终于有一天，他途经金融区，遭遇了一个开着红色法拉利且和他同龄的白领。
阿谁东谈主泊车准备进附近的写字楼上班，Chris珍爱地走向前往和他攀谈。
Chris: Man, I got two questions for you: What do you do? And how do you do it?
Man: I'm astockbroker(证券牙东谈主).
Chris: Stockbroker. Oh. Had to go to college to be a stockbroker, huh?
Man: You don't have to. Have to be good with numbers and good with people. That's it.
其时世界一流的证券公司Dean Witter有个为期六个月的实习生容颜。仅有高中学历的Chris深知我方的简历很难赢得口试的契机。于是，他平直去找该公司的东谈主力主宰Jay Twistle。Twistle收下了Chris的简历，让他且归等电话。可一个月已往了，依旧消息全无。不甘扬弃的Chris决定再次主动找Twistle面谈。
Chris在大楼门前等了很久，Twistle终于出现了，他冲了上去。
Chris: Chris Gardner.
Twistle: Yeah, hi. What can I do for you?
Chris: I submitted an application for the intern program about a month ago ... and I would just love the opportunity to sit with you briefly.
Twistle: Listen, I'm going to Noe Valley, Chris. Take care of yourself.
Chris不肯失去这个契机，决定找个借口和Twistle拼车，上车交谈。
Chris: Mr. Twistle. Actually, I'm on my way to Noe Valley also. How about we share a ride
Twistle: All right. Get in.
Chris: So when I was in the Navy, I worked for a doctor who loved to play golf, hours and hours every day ... and I would actually perform medical procedures when he'd leave me in the office. So I'm used to being in a position where I have to make decisions and ... Mr. Twistle, listen. This is a very important ...
Twistle一直玩着其时风靡好意思国的才气玩物——魔方，根柢莫得在听。
Twistle: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This thing's impossible.
Chris: I can do it.
Twistle: No, you can't. No one can. It's bullshit.
Chris: No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.
Twistle: No, you can't.
Chris: Let me see it. Give it here.
Twistle徜徉地把魔方递给了Chris。
Chris: Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, you really messed it up
Twistle: Sorry.
Chris: It looks like it works around aswivel(转体), so the center pieces never move. So if it's yellow in the center, that's the yellow side. If it's red in the center, that's the red side.
为了赢得时分向Twistle证明我方是个理智的东谈主，Chris让司机开慢少量。
Chris: You can slow down.
Twistle: Oh! Listen, we can drive around all day. I don't believe you can do this.
Chris: Yeah, I can.
Twistle: No, you can't.
Chris: Yes, I can.
Twistle: No, you can't. I'm telling you, no one can ... See, that's all I ever did ... You almost have this side ... Holy cow! Oh, You almost had that one.
Chris又转出了一面。
Chris: I'm gonna get it.
Twistle: Look at that. You're almost there.
Taxi driver: Seventeen ten.
Chris: This is me.
Chris最终将六个面全部转了出来。
Twistle: Good job. Goodbye.
Chris: Ok. I'll see you ... see you soon.
Chris的此次“面谈”给Twistle留住了深刻的印象。可就在这段时分里，Chris的生活却在欠债的泥沼里越陷越深，千里重的打击一个接着一个：浑家终究弗成哑忍穷困贫窭的生活和养家活口的压力，离开了家；房主一遍随处追讨房租并迫令他搬走；活该的测定仪一台也卖不出去……
就在此时，Chris接到了Twistle的电话，陈述他去参加Dean Witter为期六个月的实习生项规划口试。好意思味试的前一天，就在Chris为了多拖欠几天房租，免费为房主刷墙的时候，他因为拖欠泊车罚单过久而被拘留，次日早上9点才得以脱身。Chris来不足换洗，一齐决骤到了口试地点。
一身污渍的Chris坐在口试桌前。
Chris: I've been sitting there for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come up with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I'm sure you all admire here, likeearnestness(看重) or diligence,team-playing(团队合作), something. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is ... I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.
Frohm: Parking tickets?
Chris: And I ran all the way here from the police station.
Frohm: What were you doing before you were arrested?
Chris: I was painting my apartment.
Frohm: Is it dry now?
Chris: I hope so.
Frohm: Jay says you're pretty determined.
看到我方保举的Chris竟然如斯装璜前来口试，Jay Twistle感到一点惭愧。
Twistle: He's been waiting outside the front of the building ... with some 40-poundgizmo(玩意) for over a month.
Frohm: He said you're smart.
Chris: Well, I'd like to think so.
Frohm: And you want to learn this business?
Chris: Yes, sir, I wanna learn this business.
Frohm: Have you already started learning on your own?
Chris: Absolutely.
Frohm: Jay?
Twistle: Yes, sir.
Frohm: How many times have you seen Chris?
Twistle: I don't know. One too many, apparently.
Chris: Was he ever dressed like this?
Twistle: No. No. Jacket and tie.
Frohm: First in your class? In school? High school?
Chris: Yes, sir.
Frohm: How many in the class?
Chris: Twelve. It was a small town.
Frohm: I'll say.
Chris: But I was also first in my radar class in the Navy, and that was a class of 20 ... Can I say something? I'm the type of person ... if you ask me a question and I don't know the answer I'm gonna tell you that I don't know. But I bet you what, I know how to find the answer, and I will find the answer. Is that fair enough?
Frohm: Chris, what would you say if a guy walked in for an interview without a shirt on ... and I hired him? What would you say?
Chris: He must've had on some really nice pants.
Chris的执著和坚定、耿直和本分、千里着和从容，赢得了Dean Witter的合资东谈主Frohm先生的青睐。就这样，他成为了世界顶级证券公司为期半年的实习生。不外这个竞争热烈的实习容颜莫得任何工资，以至莫得职位的高兴——20个实习生经过半年的锻真金不怕火，临了只能留住一东谈主。
通过口试的Chris幸运地卖掉了几台测定仪，挣到了一些钱，足以保管他和女儿这半年的生活。生活似乎要有所转机，可就在这时，更糟的事情发生了。国度税务局在某一天莫得任何教导就从他的账户划走了他拖欠过久的税款；Chris的账户霎时之间只剩下了二十多好意思元。没钱付房钱的Chris只好带着女儿搬到了汽车栈房，自后又流寇到教会收留所。生活急转直下，但Chris明白，这是他临了的契机，是通往幸福生活的惟一齐途。于是，夜晚带着女儿饿莩遍野的他，日间照旧打起十二分的精神在这家申明显耀的证券公司里为了1/20的隆重托福契机拚命发奋着。
Chris: Whoever brought in the most money after six months was usually hired. We were all working our way up call sheets to sign clients. From the bottom to the top, from the doorman to the CEO. They'd stay till 7, but I had Christopher. I had to do in six hours what they do in nine. In order not to waste any time, I wasn't hanging up the phone in between calls. I realized that by not hanging up the phone, I gained another eight minutes a day. I also wasn't drinking water, so I didn't waste any time in the bathroom. But even doing all this, after two months, I still didn't have time to work my way up a sheet.
日间，Chris在公司里充分垄断时分使命，为了实现我方的梦念念，也为了早点放工带着女儿去列队住收留所；夜里，他则要把仅有的一台测定仪修好以期换来少量儿生活费。生活的穷困让东谈主不振无比，但为了女儿，也为了我方的梦念念，Chris咬紧牙关，对持着他对幸福生活的追寻，少量少量地寻找着运谈的出口。
六个月的实习结果，Chris发怵不安地走进了口试间。
Frohm: Chris, sit down, please.
Chris: I thought I'd wear a shirt today. You know, being the last day and all.
Frohm: Well, thank you. Thank you. We appreciate that. But wear one tomorrow though, okay? Because tomorrow's going to be your first day, if you'd like to work here as a broker. Would you like that, Chris?
庞大的幸福感溢满了Chris全身，他不禁流下了幸福的眼泪。
Chris: Yes, sir.
Frohm: Good. We couldn't be happier. So welcome. Was it as easy as it looked?
Chris: No, sir. No, sir, it wasn't.
Frohm: Good luck, Chris.
Chris: Thank you. Thank you.
归往返事的Chris这样说谈：
Chris: This part of my life ... this little part ... is called "Happiness".
有梦念念才有真追求，追寻幸福的历程也许并不幸福，但只消你心存但愿，在内心深处执著地恭候着运谈在峰回路转时的嫣然一笑，那么，你一定能比及幸福叩门的时候。
I Trust You
“I'm Chris Gardner. I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. And I made up my mind as a young kid that when I had children, my children were gonna know who their father was.”这是影片的开场白，让东谈主看到Chris行动一个父亲，之是以能保持对生活的积极格调，有很大一半源于对女儿Christopher幸福生活的高兴。
Chris的浑家弃取了离开，但Chris坚决要留住女儿Christopher。
Chris: Let me ask you something. Are you happy?
Christopher: Yeah.
Chris: Because I'm happy. And if you're happy and I'm happy, then that's a good thing, right?
Christopher: Yeah.
Chris没钱付房租被动搬到了一个汽车栈房。
Christopher: Dad, why did we move to a motel?
Chris: I told you. Because I'm getting a better job. You gotta trust me, all right?
Christopher: I trust you.
Chris: All right. Here. Come on. Come on.
那段日子里，Chris天然弗成给女儿丰富的物资生活，但他给了女儿对梦念念的勇气和信念，即使是在我方离顺利还很远的时候。
Chris陪女儿打球。
Christopher: Hey, Dad. I'm goingpro(奇迹畅通员). I'm going pro.
Chris: OK! Yeah, I don't know. You know ... You'll probably be about as good as I was. That's kind of the way it works, you know. I was below average. You know, so you'll probably ultimately rank somewhere around there, you know, so ... really you'll excel
Christopher: All right.
Chris: All right, go ahead ... Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher: All right.
Chris: You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves. They wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period
由于付不起汽车栈房的房费，雇主把他们的行李扔了出来。无处安身的父子俩只好曲折到了地铁站，女儿对父亲弗成带我方回家而感到有些不振。
Chris为了安慰女儿，造谣了一个恐龙期间。
Christopher: Where are we going? Dad, where are we going?
Chris: I don't know.
Christopher: It's not a time machine. Dad, It's not a time machine. The guy said it was a time machine. It's not a time machine. He was wrong.
Chris: What guy?
Christopher: The guy who's at the park said it was a time machine.
Chris: Yes, it is.
Christopher: No, it's not.
Chris: It is.
Christopher: No, it's not.
Chris: All we gotta do is push this black button right here. Wanna push it?
Christopher: Okay.
Chris: Come on. Come on, man. Right here. Wait a minute. Where do you wanna go?
Christopher: I don't know. Some place from before.
Chris: You gotta close your eyes.
Christopher: You close your eyes. I wanna see.
Chris: All right, come on. We'll push it together. You gotta close your eyes. It takes a few seconds ... Oh, my goodness. Open, open, open!
Christopher: What is it?
Chris: Dinosaurs.
Christopher: Where?
Chris: You don't see all these dinosaurs? Look around. Look at all these dinosaurs. Can you see them?
Christopher: Yeah.
Chris: Wait. Come on, come on. Wait! Watch out!
Christopher: What is it?
Chris: Don't step in the fire. We'recavemen(洞居东谈主). We need this fire, because there's no electricity ... and it's cold out here, okay?
Christopher: Watch out!
Chris: Whoa! Oh, my god! AT. rex(霸王龙). Get your stuff. Get your stuff. Get it. We gotta find someplace safe.
Christopher: Like what?
Chris: We need a cave.
Christopher: A cave?
Chris: We gotta find a cave. Come on. Watch your back! Look out. Here it is. Here's a cave. Come on. Right here. Go, go, go. Get in. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
父子二东谈主藏进了被造谣为洞穴的茅厕。
Christopher: Are we safe?
Chris: Yeah, I think so.
对好多东谈主而言，家东谈主遥远是追寻梦念念的能源。影片中那种呼之欲出的父子情相称打动东谈主心，上阵父子兵，要知谈影片中扮演女儿的小演员Jaden Smith恰是扮演父亲的Will Smith的女儿呢。
电影片名中的“happyness”是挑升拼错的（应该是happiness），它与片中的一个场景相呼应。Chris发现托儿所外面的墙上出现“the pursuit of happyness”这句话，就去见知敦朴单词拼写错了。敦朴却告诉他，happyness是否拼对并不焦虑，焦虑的是孩子们是否领有它。这句话深深震憾了Chris，引发他为女儿能领有幸福的生活而立志。
那么，幸福是什么？怎样去追寻？这是咱们每每内省的两个问题，天然关于第一个问题，每个东谈主都有不同的谜底，但关于第二个问题，也许成年后的Christopher给出了正确的谜底：How did he know to put the "pursuit" part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue. And maybe we can actually never have it ... no matter what.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. 关于幸福、梦念念亦或其他，追寻的历程也许并不老是阳光普照，但在幸福来叩门的那一个短暂，泪水和欢笑都来自于为之立志的每一个泛泛的日子。
You have a dream. You got to protect it. Period.

Fly Me to the Moon月球大冒险——梦念念无界限
◎文／李简
苍蝇，是咱们平日里最嫉恨的“害虫”之一，但比利时3D动画电影《月球大冒险》（Fly Me to the Moon）中的几只能人小苍蝇，不仅充满梦念念与闯劲，照旧参与并见证东谈主类登月豪举的袼褙，是实现登月梦念念的冒险家。也许它们的功绩并不为东谈主类所知，但它们却是苍蝇王国的自高。这部由比利时导演本·史塔生（Ben Stassen）执导的影片，阐发了三只憨态可掬的小苍蝇搭乘“阿波罗11号”的“便车”飞上天外、登陆月球的故事。
期间与梦念念
影片一开首，娓娓谈来的旁白配合瑕瑜的画面，将不雅众带回到了20世纪60年代，同期也明晰地打发了这部“苍蝇历险记”所发生的期间布景。
In 1957, the Soviet Union opened the final frontier by sending theSputnik(东谈主造地球卫星) satellite into orbit. Four years later, when NASA was putting monkeys in its rockets, cosmonautYuri Gagarin(尤里·加加林) became the first man to go into space. The Soviets were beating the Americans to every milestone off the planet.
1957～1975年间，好意思国与前苏联在开采东谈主造卫星、载东谈主航天和东谈主类登月等空间探索领域里伸开了热烈的竞争，史称“天外竞赛”。在这场竞赛的领先几年，前苏联一齐遥遥逾越，取得了数个“第一”，包括在1957年辐照了第一颗沿地球轨谈运行的东谈主造卫星，1961岁首度将航天员尤里·加加林送入天外等。比拟之下，好意思国所取得的“第一”则显得黯澹不少。
然则，就在加加林飞上天外后不到一个月，好意思国航天员取得了关节性的时刻冲破。1961年5月25日，时任好意思国总统约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）向全世界通告，好意思国东谈主要实行宏伟的东谈主类登月事营。
Kennedy: I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.
不得不说，这一特殊的期间布景推进了东谈主类登月的程度。但纵不雅东谈主类历史的漫漫长河，你会发现，每一代东谈主都对那夜夜相见的星球充满了好奇，每一代东谈主都对那阴晴圆缺的星球进行着探索。能踏足阿谁深不可测的星球又何尝不是东谈主类子子孙孙的素愿？
1. 1957年，苏联辐照了历史上第一颗东谈主造卫星，震悚了通盘世界。
2. 1961年，黑猩猩汉姆（Ham）搭乘好意思国“水星号”天地飞船插足天外，成为首位天外黑猩猩。图为黑猩猩安全复返的相片。
3. 1961年，前苏联航天员尤里·加加林乘坐“东方一号”天地飞船完成世界初度载东谈主天地飞行，实现东谈主类插足天外的梦念念。车”的小博士。
在影片中，苍蝇王国的苍蝇们和东谈主类一样，也对探索未知领域充满了包涵，也梦念念着能踏上阿谁艰深的星球。
作念个梦念念家
影片的主东谈主公是一只名叫纳特（Nat）的小苍蝇，它有两个好一又友：一个是胖胖的小苍蝇斯库特（Scooter），往往刻刻都在吃东西或念念着与吃相干的东西，口腔肌肉肥厚到弗成说出“航天员（Astronauts）”这个单词的准确发音；另一个是理智的小苍蝇IQ，它戴着圆圆的眼镜，懂得呼吸系统的运作道理，俨然是一个“博学多才”的小博士。
纳特是一只充满冒险精神的小苍蝇，一直梦念念着要作念一件感天动地的大事。当纳特听说东谈主类要在佛罗里达州的火箭辐照基地向月球辐照一艘名为“阿波罗11号”的天地飞船时，它便念念着要作念第一只登上月球的苍蝇。因为它一直都信奉一个信条：“If it isn't an adventure, it isn't worth doing.”
“淌若不是探险，就不值得作念。”这个热爱是纳特的爷爷防御给它的。这位苍蝇王国的老爷爷依然精神签订、芬芳馥郁。它往常给孙子们讲冷见笑，一副年青东谈主的作念派。当纳特问它苍蝇能否登上月球时，它斩钉截铁地答谈：“Sure, anything's possible.”并再一次须生常谭，讲起了它当年和好意思国飞行员阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特(Amelia Earhart)
Grandpa: We were about 10 hours into it, out over the Atlantic Ocean. Everything was going okay, so I thought I'd take myself a little snooze, and catch fortywinks(小睡), you know. Well, no sooner had Idozed off(瞌睡), I woke up to find the plane in one seriousnosedive(俯冲)!
Nat: What was wrong, Grandpa?
Grandpa: I'll tell you what was wrong. Shegosh darn(竟然) fell asleep. That ocean was like black pavement, and it was coming up real fast! We were gonna die.
Nat: What did you do, Grandpa?
Grandpa: What any brave fly would do. I flew straight up her nose. She blew out one seriousbooger(鼻液). I was almost agoner(完蛋的东谈主).
Nat: You saved the day, Grandpa.
Grandpa: Darn right, I did. After that, it was smooth flying. Couple hours later, we landed in France. The rest is history.
再一次听了爷爷的袼褙功绩，纳特更坚定了去冒险的决心。就在那一晚，它劝服斯库特和IQ两位好友，构成了苍蝇登月小队，准备搭乘东谈主类飞船的“便车”，伸开史无先例的冒险之旅。在皓皓蟾光的见证下，它们喊出了我方的标语：
Adventure forever! Dreamers getswatted(猛击) ? Never!
飞向天外
IQ小博士连夜赶作事念好了苍蝇用的宇航服，三只小苍蝇带都装备，潜入到又名好意思国航空航天局 (NASA) 使命主谈主员的午餐盒中，由此被带到了NASA在佛罗里达州的火箭辐照基地。
在火箭辐照架上，“土星5号”火箭像巨东谈主一样抬头挺立着，它行将推进将要载入汗青的“阿波罗11号”载东谈主飞船插足天外。
10、9、8、7……运送“阿波罗11号”的“土星5号”火箭在庞大的声响与驻扎的火光中辐照升起，并在12分钟后插足地球轨谈。此刻，正在休斯顿监控中心的科学家们以及正在电视机前屏息关注的万千不雅众们，不会知谈在三位宇航员的帽子边际躺着三只充满冒险精神的小生物，它们也和东谈主类一样将实现它们飞向月球的梦念念。
地球上，小苍蝇的家东谈主们都在牵记着我方孩子的安慰。唯独苍蝇爷爷很欣慰，这位老一辈的冒险家还安慰纳特的姆妈。
Grandpa: He'll be back before you know it.
Mum: He's never been away from home that long.
Grandpa: Your boy's going to the moon. I could only dream about doing that, but he's doing it. Everything will be all right, I promise.
Mum: Thanks, Dad.
Grandpa: We're a family.
在环绕地球飞行一圈半后，飞船插足天外，脱离了地球引力，插足无重力状态，舱内的扫数东西都飘了起来。在《蓝色多瑙河》（Blue Danube）悠扬的乐曲声中，三只小苍蝇不再像平时那样飞行，它们在半空中优好意思地徜徉、旋转、翻跟斗，犹如学会了秀气的舞步。纳特失足于奇妙的失重感受中，自言自语谈：“I did it! Grandpa, I did it.”而此刻，那三位航天员的心思又是怎样呢？祷告着一切得手吗？
招待挑战
世事并非老是一帆风顺。在行将插足月球轨谈时，飞船在一次历害的震动后出现了故障。航天员教授官束缚招呼休斯顿大地监控中心。
Commander: Houston, we seem to be taking on a bit morevibration(震动) than we expected.
Houston: Yeah, we'remonitoring(监控) that now.
Commander: Houston, we seem to have a small problem. Theengine(引擎) won't respond.
Houston: Commander, we've discovered ashort(短路) in one of your controlpanels(限度台). It needs to be manually disconnected.
Commander: Sir, we don't have time to trace a short. In 30 seconds, we'll have missed our orbit.
Houston: It's the onlyshot(契机) we've got.
就在这时，勇敢的纳特带着IQ和斯库特飞进了限度台的澄莹里面，找到了飞船短路的重要所在，为“阿波罗11号”肃清了一次致命的危急。
然则一波未平放诞升沉，三位小元勋被航天员喷了麻醉喷雾，装进了闭塞的试管里。眼看着飞船行将在月球上着陆，难谈铁树开花千辛万苦到达此地的三只小苍蝇要无缘分享登月盛举？幸运之神再一次留恋了它们，在飞船着陆的震动中，试管和摄像机相撞而破，它们逃了出来。这也让纳迥殊契机随那位闻明的航天员一齐，踏上了月球的名义。
尼尔·阿姆斯特朗（Neil Armstrong），那位闻明的航天员，东谈主类历史会遥远记起这个名字；纳特，苍蝇世家的历史也会遥远记着这位大冒险家的名字。靠岸在阿姆斯特朗的航天服上，纳特第一次，亦然东谈主类第一次这样近地看着月球，看见“静海”（Mare Tranquillitatis）
Armstrong: I'm at the foot of the ladder. Thelunar module footpads(垫在登月舱的舷梯下与月面之间的踩脚垫) are only depressed in the surface about ... one or two inches. The surface appears to be very, very finegrain(颗粒). As you get close to it, it's almost like powder. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
“我的一小步，东谈主类的一大步。”阿姆斯特朗这一历害宣言将会被东谈主类遥远记起。
在航天员拍下的瑕瑜影像中，月球所展现的风貌只囿于摄像机的框框。在这部动画电影中，纳特带着不雅众从一个全新的视角去体会登月的历程，大要更能让东谈主感受到“我的一小步”带给东谈主类的潜入道理。
一直在念念，这部将东谈主类登月的实况历程与动物世界的纵欲念念象神奇嫁接的3D影片，为什么主角不是蚊子不是瓢虫，而是不讨东谈主可爱的苍蝇？直至片尾，那首脍炙东谈主口的歌曲《带我去月球》（“Fly Me to the Moon”）的音乐响起，才惊觉在英语中，“苍蝇”和“飞”其实是脱色个单词“fly”。
从飞天到奔月，东谈主类从未罢手过对未知领域的探索。无论是动东谈主的据说故事，照旧精密的科学演算，都代表着咱们对这个星球的好意思美梦念念。东谈主类登月业已40周年，但恭候咱们去开采、研究的还有好多。淌若咱们都有着纳特和它的伙伴们那样的大冒险家精神，信赖东谈主类漂后的发展史将更快地翻过一页又一页。

入选事理：越过梦念念，将不可能改革为可能实现的名胜，书写首个好意思国冰球神话。
故事约莫
影片改编自1980年盐湖城冬奥会上发生的简直事件。本片的主东谈主公Herb年青时是好意思国国度冰球队的一员，曾代表好意思国出战1964年冬奥会，但其球队当年是没能赢得冠军，这成为Herb最大的缺憾。为了一偿素愿，他决定以老师的身份，率领一批新东谈主出战1980年的盐湖城冬奥会。
1980年以前，前苏联国度队照旧畅达四次捧走奥运会冰球冠军奖杯。这支队伍行云活水、教养丰富，被誉为“世界冰球长胜王”。因此，关于初出茅屋的好意思国冰球队来说，他们靠近着双重挑战：外部是险些难以治服的刚劲队伍；里面是自身教养不足和团队意志薄弱等各样费劲。莫得东谈主看好他们，觉得他们念念要取得比赛冠军除非有名胜发生。但是，在老师的正确领导、队员们的不懈发奋和共同努力下，名胜真的发生了！
经典场景
离奥运会开幕还有五个月。和挪威队的比赛中，队员们的阐发让Herb大失所望。比赛结果后，Herb老师便把队员们都留了下来，除了一遍一遍追加高强度的考验外，还教给他们什么是信得过的比赛精神以及为好意思国而战的国度荣誉感。
Herb: Think you can win on talent alone? Gentlemen, you don't have enough talent to win on talent alone. Again!
Herb: If you think you can come here and play the Norwegian National team and tie them and then go to the Olympics and win, you got another thing coming. You better think about something else, each and every one of you. When you pull on thatjersey(畅通套衫), you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back!
....
Herb: You keep playing this way, you won't beat anybody who's even good,let alone(更别提) great. You want to make this team, then you better start playing at a level that's gonna force me to keep you here. Again!
....
Herb: This cannot be a team of common men because common men go nowhere. You have to be uncommon. Again!
....
老师一遍一遍似乎遥远不会罢手的考验让队员们不胜哑忍。于是，Mike主动站出来，念念要劝说老师罢手考验。
Mike: Mike Eruzione! Winthrop, Massachusetts!
Herb: Who do you play for?
Mike: I play for the United States of America.
Herb: That's all, gentlemen.
在和其时的苏联队的决赛中，年青的好意思国队队员通力合营，浮滑拼搏，最终创造了一个名胜：治服了世界最强的冰球队。然则，这个名胜并莫得到此结果……
Herb: Two days later, the miracle was made complete. My boys defeated Finland to win the gold medal, coming from behind once again. As I watched them out there celebrating on the ice, I realized that Patti had been right: It was a lot more than a hockey game. Not only for those who watched it, but for those who played in it. I've often been asked in the years since Lake Placid: what was the best moment for me. Well, it was here: The sight of 20 young men of such different backgrounds now standing as one; Young men willing to sacrifice so much of themselves all for an unknown. A few years later, the U.S. began using professional athletes at the games: Dream Teams. I always found that term ironic because now that we have dream teams, we seldom ever get to dream. But on one weekend, as America and the world watched, a group of remarkable young men gave the nation what it needed most: A chance, for one night, not only to dream; but a chance, once again, to believe.
一对魔鞋承载的梦念念分量
大多量情况下，实现梦念念的历程需要付出加倍的汗水和发奋。那么，是否存在艰深的东谈主、事、物，能够助你在整夜之间达成梦念念呢？通过这样的方式，来之不易便得以达成的梦念念，能够持久吗？
代表电影：Like Mike 2: Streetball 《像乔丹一样打球2之街球版》（2006）
体育容颜：街头篮球（Streetball）
梦念念：赢得街头篮球锦标赛，成为像我方的偶像“Air Jordan”一样的篮球高手。

Jerome: Come on, Nate. Why are you going to be like that? Man, you know my dad won that tournament back in '89. Perhaps his name is right there on the Ball of Fame with all the great players that came off these courts.
Rode: I wouldn't call any of us great players.
Jerome: That's why we need to practice every day. So we can get good enough to win this competition and get our names up there next to his.

Jerome: That was you. That's not me.
Father: But you're following in my shoes. You're playing with your head, not with your heart. Hey, Jerome, the game is supposed to be pure, supposed to be fun.
梦念念不分瑕瑜
在种族敌视的压力之下，黑东谈主追赶梦念念的谈路注定会非常贫窭，每走一步，都举步维艰。但只消咱们抛开肤色的敛迹，执着追求，就能实现梦念念。

入选事理：隆重始创了好意思国大学篮坛瑕瑜共存的新期间。
《光荣之路》是笔据真东谈主真事改编的。故事发生在1965年的好意思国德克萨斯州，其时的好意思国社会正靠近着瑕瑜种族冲突对立的气象。
Haskins是一位白东谈主篮球老师，由于在掌管女子篮球队方面的出色成绩，被分拨去执教西德州联队（Texas Western）。这支球队不仅基础差，而且白东谈主球员根柢不肯意听一个前女篮老师的教授。于是Haskins四处游走，招募了一群相称有后劲的黑东谈主学生，组建了球队。着手，这些黑东谈主球员无法区别正规篮球与街头篮球，而且他们对种族问题尽头明锐，使得Haskins的考验和管理历程费劲重重。经过一个考验期的斗争，Haskins坚定的信念感染了球队里的每一个东谈主，队员们共同努力，球队一齐饱经沧桑，直指决赛，最终遂愿以偿地取得了NCAA（好意思国世界大学生体育协会）的总冠军。
经典场景
Haskins看中了一个后劲球员Hill，念念把他招进球队，却遭到了阻隔。因为持久以来遭受种族敌视的黑东谈主Hill觉得白东谈主老师招他且归只是作念板凳队员。
Haskins: Excuse me. I'm the basketball coach down at Texas Western. I'd like to talk to you about playing for me there.
Hill: Thanks. But no, thanks. I'm done playing this game. They hardly put me on the floor tonight.
Haskins: I'm offering a full scholarship.
Hill: Uh-huh. You sign me up like yourtoken(象征) negro; bury me at the end of the bench. I'd rather hang it up. Do something else. Be the next Smokey Robinson. I might even run for president.
Haskins: You got a real talent, son. Why throw it away?
Hill: I'll tell you why. Ever since I was a kid, I only loved one thing—that was playing ball. Do you understand what that's like to have that ball in your hand? It's like... it's like making sweet music with your game. The only thing is, you don't wanna hear the song.
Haskins: You talk a good game, Hill. But I didn't come here to find a player who can sit on the bench. I intend to start you—start NCAA Division One ball.
Hill: What is it with you, mister? I've accepted it. What are you smoking?
Haskins: I ain't smoking nothing, son. As you just told me about a big old dream you have, I can let you play. I can help you make your dream come true faster than a twister'll take your socks off.
Hill: You talk funny.
Haskins: So do you.
Hill: You gonna let a black player play from the get-go?
Haskins: I don't see color. I see quick, I see skill, and that's what you have. And that's what I'll put on the court.
终于到了临了的决赛关头，永劫分的刻苦发奋终于要在今天得以证明了。赛前，Haskins老师为大众加油打气。
Haskins: You spilled a lot of sweat on this floor, and it's gonna pay off. Now, I know it seems I've been hard on you for no reason. But I've been tough because I know how good you can be. People outside this gym, they don't think we got a chance this season playing with bunches of players none of the big schools wanted. But those people don't know you. I do. You're talented. You're disciplined. And you care about the guy standing next to you. And that's how we're gonna win, starting tomorrow night. So let's go out there. Let's play Texas Western basketball. Let's make that mean something. On three. One ... two... three. Miners(得州矿工队)!

Player A: How to get ahold ofBo's Tire Barn(该小镇最闻明的轮胎厂名，其告白正位于记分板的正下方)?
Jimmy: You quit. You quit out there. You quit on me. And worse, you quit on yourselves. Now, what is it? Think people don't care about baseball around here? Think the school's gonna drop the program?

Jimmy: I'm not talking about college. I'm talking about wanting things in life. I'm talking about having dreams. And all that starts right here. Okay? Right here. You don't have dreams. You don't have anything.
