Coach 2: No, that couldn’t be.

Coach 3: Sure as hell was.

美语思维:

*Now, it used to beI ran to get where I was going . I never thought it would take me anywhere.

这句话一语双关,anywhere 一词的妙用,即代表任意一个地方,说明阿甘并不善于思考,他正是先本能地采取行动,到达目的地后才确认行为的意义,这是阿甘惯有的行为方式,同时也代表着阿甘生命中与奇迹的不期而遇。小时侯,阿甘为了避开别人欺负,摆脱了支架的束缚,如风般飞奔。年复一年,看似平凡的奔跑,却意外地将阿甘带入了大学,带入了全美明星队,带入了白宫,当然也带他逃离了死神的魔掌,成为一个越战英雄,将他引向了成功。从某种程度上来说,奔跑揭开了阿甘传奇一生的序幕,也为阿甘一生的传奇更增添了生命无常的隽永滋味。

*Now, maybe it’s just me, but college was a very confusing time.

对于阿甘来讲,大学时代是一个“非常困惑的时代”,因为此时的美国已进入六十年代的民运高潮,黑人争取民主权利、妇女争取解放等运动如火如荼。阿甘以一个旁观者的身份目睹这一切的发生,似乎自己习以为常的生活状态发生了匪夷所思的变化。本段不惜笔墨描述的是1962 年轰动全美的一件事情:顽固实行种族隔离政策的阿拉巴玛州终于在联邦政府的干预下被迫打破教育壁垒,允许两名黑人学生和白人一起接受同等教育。美国人由此更加坚信,人们必须“fight for liberty”(努力争取自由),才能够“stand up for rights”(得到真正的权利)。
