---McALLISTER:You take a big risk by encouraging them to be artists,John.When they realize they're not Rembrants or Shakespeares or Picassos, they'll hate you for it.
---KEATING:We are not talking aout artists, George,we are talking about free thinkers.
---McALLISTER:Hahaha...Free thinker of seventeen?
---KEATING:Funny!Inever pegged you as a cynic
---McALLISTER:Not a cynic!A realist!Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams and I'll show you a happy man.
（他们真能不满脑子胡思乱想，我也就不会悲观了。）
---KEATING:Only in dreams can man be truly free.It always does and will always does as it will be.
（只有在梦想中人才能真正自由，从来如此也将永远如此。）

The Dead Poets Society was dedicating to
sucking the marrow out of life. That
phrase is by Thoreau and was invoked at
every meeting. A small group of us would
meet at a cave and there we would take
turns reading Shelley, Thoreau, Whitman,
our own verse-any number of poets-and, in
the enchantment of the moment, let them
work their magic on us.
“死亡诗社致力于吸取生命的精华，”这是我们每次开会前都要引用的梭罗的一句话。恩，我们经常在印地安山洞聚会，轮流朗诵梭罗，惠特曼，雪莱等诗人的作品，甚至我们自己的诗作。在那种痴迷的时刻，诗歌有着一种神奇的作用。
We did not simply read,we let it drip from our tongues like honey. spirits soared，Women swooned ... Gods were created, gentlemen.
我们不仅仅念诗，诗从我们舌间滑落，就像蜜糖。情绪高涨，女人亢奋，灵魂驰骋。。。

Come my friend，till it's not too late to seek a newer world.From my purpose hold to be the other side of sunset.And though we are not now that strength which as old days moved earth and heaven. That which we are we are,one equal temper of heroic hearts.Maybe weak by time and fate, but strong is will,to strive, to seek,to find,and not to yield.
来吧，我的朋友，寻找更新的世界尚为时不晚。我决心已定，要驶过夕阳的尽头，尽管我们不再有昔日的伟力，可以震天撼地，我们仍然有着同样的英雄般的心。时间和命运使它衰弱，但坚强意志仍在，去拼搏，去探索，去发现，永不屈服。

KEATING (CONT'D)
Why do I stand here? To feel taller
than you? I stand on my desk to remind
myself that we must constantly force
ourselves to look at things in a different way.
The world looks different from up here.
If you don't believe it, stand up here
and try it. All of you. Take turns.
我站到讲台上是想提醒我自己，我们必须时刻用不同的眼光来看待事物．
Try never to think about anything the
same way twice. If you're sure about
something, force yourself to think about
it another way, even if you know it's
wrong or silly. When you read, don't
consider only what the author thinks, but
take the time to consider what you think.
You must strive to find your own voice,
boys, and the longer you wait to begin,
the less likely you are to find it at
all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives
of quiet desperation." I ask, why be
resigned to that? Risk walking new
ground. Now. A flame in your hearts
could change the world, lads. Nurture
it.
梭罗说过：“大多数人都生活在平静的绝望中。”
----别陷入这种境地！
