1、生命可以归结为一种简单的选择：要么忙于生存，要么赶着去死。
I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
2、监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。刚入狱的时候，你痛恨周围的高墙；慢慢地，你习惯了生活在其中；最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。 这就是体制化。
These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
3、 在这世上，有些东西是石头无法刻成的。在我们心里，有一块地方是无法锁住的，那块地方叫做希望。
In our hearts, there is a place that cannot be locked. That place is called hope.
4、 其实，我也不想知道。有些东西还是留着不说为妙。就像一些美丽的鸟儿扑扇着翅膀来到我们的 褐色牢笼，让那些墙壁消失得无影无踪。就在那一刹那，肖申克监狱的每一个人都感到了自由。
Actually, I don't want to know. It's better to keep some things. It's like some beautiful birds flapping their wings to our brown cage, making the walls disappear. At that moment, everyone in Shawshank felt free.
5、你会说他做这些是为了讨好看守。或者也许是为了同我们搞好关系。而我则认为他只是为了再度体验一下正常人的感觉，哪怕只是为了短短的片刻。
You would say he did it to please the guards. Or maybe it's to have a good relationship with us. And I think he just wanted to experience the feeling of normal people again, even for a short moment.
6、我得经常同自己说，有些鸟儿是关不住的。它们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候，你心底里知道把它们关起来是一种罪恶，你会因此而振奋。不过，它们一走,你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我觉得我真是怀念我的朋友。
I have to tell myself often that some birds can't be kept. Their feathers are too bright. When they fly away, you know in your heart that it's a sin to lock them up, and you will be inspired by it. However, as soon as they go, the place where you live is even more gloomy and empty. I think I really miss my friend.
7、让你难过的事情，有一天，你一定会笑着说出来！
Things that make you sad, one day, you will laugh out and say it.
8、懦怯囚禁人的灵魂，希望可以令你感受自由。强者自救，圣者渡人。
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
9、希望是件美丽的东西，也许是最好的东西。美好的东西是永远不会死的。
Hope is a beautiful thing, maybe the best. Good things never die.
11、强者救赎自己，圣人普度他人。
It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.
I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
