Forrest Gump 阿甘正传（精讲之五）

Forrest: You died on a Saturday morning and I had you placed here under our tree. And I had house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Mama always said dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest is doing just fine. He's about to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth everyday. I 'm teachin' him how to play ping pong. We fish a lot, and every night we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He even wrote you a letter. He says I can't read it. It's Forrest's so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if mama was right or if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny or if we're all just floating around accidental like on a breeze but I think that maybe it's both. Maybe both are happening at the same time. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

(later)

Forrest: Here's your bus. OK. Hey, I know this.

Little Forrest: I'm going to show that for show-and-tell because grandma used to read it to you.

Forrest: My favorite book. OK. Here you go. Hey, Forrest, I want to tell you I love you.

Little Forrest: I love you too, daddy.

Forrest: I'll be right here when you get back.

Dorothy: You understand that this is the bus to the school now, don't you?

Little Forrest: Of course, and you're Dorathy Harris, and I am Forrest Gump.

妙词佳句,活学活用

1. Little Forrest is doing just fine： 这句话的意思是小阿甘一切都好，这句话虽然简单可是中国同学很少使用，其实我们每次见面问好时都常说how are you doing 答案就可以是I am doing fine。

2 .brush：在这里用作动词指用刷子清洗，擦亮，动词还可以用作不客气地打发走；把……撇在一边：比如He brushed an old friend off.他不理会老朋友

3. I don't know if we each have a destiny or if we're all just floating around accidental like on a breeze这是阿甘对整部电影的一个总结，首先是丹中尉认为的一切都是命中注定，他就该战死沙场。其次就是母亲总说的生活就像巧克力，一切都得顺其自然。大家不妨在感叹人生时引用阿甘的这句话。

4. show-and-tell：这里就是指看图讲故事。
