第一单元 CHILDHOOD ANDSCHOOL DAYS

第一部分 原文

Forrest: Hello. My name’s Forrest. Forrest Gump. Do you want a chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of these. My mama always said “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet© I bet: 日常用语，我肯定，我敢说
you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that.
Woman: My feet hurt.
Forrest: Mama always said “There’s an awful lot© an awful lot:相当多的
you can tell about a person by their shoes. “Where they’re going. Where they’ve been.” I’ve worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes.
Doctor: Alright, Forrest. Open your eyes now. Let’s take a little walk around. How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump, as strong as I’ve ever seen. But his back is as crooked© crooked: 弯曲的，不诚实的
as a politician. But we’re going to straighten him right up now, aren’t we, Forrest?
Mrs.Gump: Forrest!
Forrest: Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after© name after: 以……来命名
the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford Forrest. She said we was related to him in some way and what he did was, he started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan© Ku Klux Klan: 三K党
. They’d all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks© spook: 幽灵
or something. They’d even put bed sheets on their horses and ride around. Anyway, that’s how I got my name, Forrest Gump. Mama said the Forrest part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don’t make no sense.
Mrs.Gump: What are y’all starin’ at? Haven’t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before? Don’t ever let anybody tell you that they’re better than you, Forrest. If God intended everybody to be the same, he’d have given us all braces on our legs.
Forrest: Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them. We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That’s in the country of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama’s family since her grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa had come across the ocean about a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just me and mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out© lent out/rent out: 出租（房屋）等
, mostly to people passin’ through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That’s how me and mama got money. Mama was a real smart lady.
Mrs.Gump: Remember what I told you Forrest. You’re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, Forrest? You are the same as everybody else. You are no different .
Mr.Hillcock: Your boy’s different, Mrs.Gump. His I.Q© I.Q.: 智商
. is 75. Mrs.Gump: Well, we’re all different, Mr.Hillcock.
Forrest: She wanted me to have the finest education so she took me to the Greenbow County Central School. I met the principal and all.
Mr.Hillcock: I want to show you something, Mrs.Gump. Now this is normal. Forrest is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of 80 to attend public school, Mrs.Gump. He’s going to have to go to a special school. He’ll be just fine.
Mrs.Gump: What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on the slow side. But my boy, Forrest, is going to get the same opportunities as everyone else. He’s not going to some special school to learn how to retread© retread: 更换轮胎，给（旧轮胎）装新胎面
tires. We’re talking about five little points here. There must be something can be done.
Mr.Hillcock: We’re a progressive school system. We don’t want to see anybody left behind. Is there a ...Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?
Mrs.Gump: He’s on vacation.
Mr.Hillcock: Eee,Eee,Eee… Your mama sure does care about your schooling, son. You don’t say much, do you?
Gump: Eee,Eee,Eee…
Mrs.Gump: (reading to Forrest) Finally, he had to try. It looked easy but... oh, what happened?
Gump: Mama, what’s “vacation” mean?
Mrs.Gump: Vacation?
Gump: Where daddy went?
Mrs.Gump: Vacation is when you go somewhere and you don’t ever come back.
Forrest: Anyway, I guess you could say me and mama was on our own. But we didn’t mind. Our house was never empty. There was always folks coming and going. Sometimes we had so many people staying with us that every room was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin’ out of their suitcases and hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.
(Forrest dances as the traveler sings “Hound Dog”)
Mrs.Gump: Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that’s alright Ma’am. I was just showing him a thing or two on the guitar here.
Mrs.Gump: Alright. Supper’s ready if y’all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, Ma’am. Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down some. “You ain’t© ain’t: 仅用于口语，表示系动词和助动词的否定
nothing but a hound dog...”
Forrest: I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music, swingin’ my hips. This night, me and mama was out shoppin’ and we walked right by Pitsey’s Furniture and Appliance store. Guess what.?.. (Elvis was on TV dancing the way that Forrest taught him)
Mrs.Gump: This is not for children’s eyes.
Forrest: Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sang too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king... You know it’s funny how you remember some things. But some things you can’t.
Mrs.Gump: You do your very best now, Forrest.
Gump: I sure will, mama.
Forrest: I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well. Dorothy: Are you coming along?
Gump: Mama said not to be taken rides from strangers.
Dorothy: This is the bus to school. Gump: I’m Forrest, Forrest Gump.
Dorothy: I’m Dorothy Harris. Gump: Well, now we ain’t strangers anymore. Kid: This seat’s taken.
Other Kids: Taken. Different Kid: You can’t sit here.
Forrest: You know it’s funny what a young man recollects© recollect: 回忆
. ‘Cause I don’t remember being born. I don’t recall what I got for my first Christmas. I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
Little Jenny: You can sit here if you want.
Forrest: I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was like an angel.
Little Jenny: Well, are you going to sit down or aren’t you? What’s wrong with your legs?
Gump: Nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy© fine and dandy: 非常好
.
Forrest: I just sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way to school.
Gump: The doctor says my back’s crooked like a question mark. These are going to make me as straight as an arrow.
Forrest: Next to© next to 除…之外
mama, no one ever talked to me or asked me questions.
Little Jenny: Are you stupid or something?
Gump: Mama says “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Little Jenny: I’m Jenny. Gump: I’m Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Forrest: From that day on, we were always together. Jenny and me were like peas and carrots© peas and carrots: 亲密无间
. She taught me how to climb. I showed her how to dangle. She helped me learn how to read, and I showed her how to swing. Sometimes we’d just sit out and wait for the stars.
Gump: Mama’s going to worry about me.
Little Jenny: Just stay a little longer.
Forrest: For some reason, Jenny didn’t ever want to go home.
Gump: OK, Jenny. I’ll stay.
Forrest: She was my most special friend... My only friend. Now, my mama always told me that miracles happen everyday. Some people don’t think so.But they do.
Bully1: Hey, dummy© dummy: 傻瓜，蠢货，笨蛋
! Are you dumb, or just plain stupid?
Bully2: Look, I’m Forrest Gump.
Little Jenny: Just run away, Forrest. Run, Forrest. Run away.Hurry!
Bully2: Get the bikes. Hurry up.
Bully1: Look out, dummy, here we come. Gonna get you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest. Run, Forrest.
Bully1: Come back here, you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest, Run!
Forrest: Now, You wouldn’t believe it if I told you. But I can run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running! Man in store: That boy sure is a run fool. Forrest: Now, remember how I told you that Jenny never seemed to want to go home? Well, she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she was five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
Gump: (knock on the door) Jenny?
Forrest: He was a very loving man. He was always kissin’ and touchin’ her and her sisters. And then this one time, Jenny wasn’t on the bus to go to school.
Gump: Jenny, why didn’t you come to school today?
Little Jenny: Shh! Daddy’s taking a nap.
Father: Jenny!
Little Jenny: C’mon!
Father: Jenny! Where’d you run to? You’d better get back here, girl. Jenny? Where you at?
Little Jenny: Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me. Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away from here. Dear God, make me a bird...So I can fly far…
Forrest: Mama always said that God is mysterious. He didn’t turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead, he had the police say that Jenny didn’t have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma, just over on Greekmore Ave., which made me happy ‘cause she was so close. Some nights, Jenny would sneak out© sneak out: 蹑手蹑脚地出来，溜出来
and come on over to my house, just’ cause she said she was scared. Scared of what? I don’t know.But I think it was her grandma’s dog. He was a mean© mean: bad-tempered, liking to bite 恶意的，脾气暴躁的，凶残的
dog. Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends all the way up through high school.

Bully1: Hey! Stupid.
Jenny: Quit it! Run, Forrest! Run!
Bully1: Hey !Did you hear me, stupid?
Bully2: Get in the truck. Move it. C’mon, he’s getting away.
Jenny: Run, Forrest! Run!
Forrest: Now, it used to be, I ran to get where I was going. I never thought it would take me anywhere.
Football Coach: Who in the hell is that?
Assistant Coach: That there is Forrest Gump, coach. Just the local idiot.
Forrest: Can you believe it? I got to go to college too.
Football Player: Run! Move it!
Forrest: OK!
Coach: He must be the stupidest son-of-a-bitch© son of a bitch: 狗崽子（粗口）
alive, but he sure is fast.
Forrest: Now, maybe it’s just me.But college was a very confusing times.
News man: Federal troops enforcing a court order integrated© integrate: 取消（种族）隔离，使社区融合（尤指种族间）
the University of Alabama today. Two negroes were admitted but only after governor George Wallace had carried out his symbolic threat to stand in the schoolhouse door.
Gump: Eart! What’s going on?
Student: Coons© coon: 同raccoon，多见于美式口语中，（讳，俚，贬）黑鬼
are trying to get into school.
Gump: Coons? When raccoons© raccoon: 浣熊
try to get on our back porch, mama just chases’em off with a broom.
Student: Not raccoons, you idiot, niggers. And they want to go to school with us.
Gump: With us? They do?
News man: Shortly after governor Wallace had carried out his promise to block the door way, president Kennedy ordered the Secretary of Defense then to use military force. Here, by video tape is the encounter by General Gram, Commander of the National Guard and governor Wallace... And so it is that the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa had been desegregated© desegregate: 废除（种族隔离）
and students Jimmy Hood and Vivian Malone had been signed up for summer classes.
Gump: Ma’am, you dropped your book, Ma’am. News man: Governor Wallace did what he promised to do by being on the Toscaloosa campus...
Coach 1: Hey, wasn’t that Gump?
Coach 2: No, that couldn’t be.
Coach 3: Sure as hell was.
Forrest: A few years later, that angry little man at the schoolhouse door thought it’d be a good idea and ran for President. But somebody thought that it wasn’t. But he didn’t die.
Lady: My bus is here.
Gump: Is that the No.9?
Lady: No, it’s the No.4.
Forrest: It was nice talking to you.
Mother: I remember when that happened, when Wallace got shot. I was in college.
Forrest: Did you go to a girls’ college or a girls’ and boys’ together college?
Mother: It was co-ed© co-ed: co-educational，男女同校
.
Forrest: cause Jenny went to a college I couldn’t go to. It was a college just for girls. But, I’d go and visit her every chance I got.
Jenny: Oh! That hurts.
Jenny: Forrest! Forrest! Stop it! What are you doing?!
Forrest: He’s hurting you . Boy friend: What the hell is going on here? Who is that?
Jenny: Billy, I’m sorry.
Billy: Just keep away from me.
Jenny: Don’t go. Billy, wait a second. He doesn’t know any better. Forrest! Why’d you do that?
Forrest: I brought you some chocolate. I’m sorry. I’ll go back to my college now.
Jenny: Forrest, look at you. Come on… Do you ever dream, Forrest, of who you’re going to be?
Forrest: Who I’m going to be?
Jenny: Yeah. Forrest: Ain’t I going to be me?
Jenny: You’ll always be you, just another kind of you. I want to be famous. I want to be a singer like Joan Baez. I just want to be on an empty stage with my guitar and my voice. Just me. And I want to reach people on a personal level. I want to be able to say things, just one to one... Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?
Forrest: I sit next to them in my Home Economics class all the time... Oh, I’m sorry.
Jenny: It’s OK. It’s all right. It’s OK.
Forrest: Oh, I’m dizzy.
Jenny: I bet that never happened in Home Ec© Home Ec: 家政学
.
Forrest: No. I think I ruined your roommate’s bathrobe.
Jenny: I don’t care. I don’t like her anyway.
Forrest: College ran by real fast ‘cause I played so much football. They even put me on a thing called the All-American Team, where you get to meet the president of the United States.
News man: President Kennedy met with the collegiate All-American Football Team at the oval office today.
Forrest: Now the really good thing about meeting the president of the United States is the food. They put you in this little room with just about anything you’d want to eat or drink. But since, number one, I wasn’t hungry but thirsty, and number two, they was free, I must have drank me about fifteen Doctor Peppers© Doctor Peppers: 一种汽水的商标
.
Kennedy: Congratulations. How does it feel to be in All-American?
Athlete1: It’s an honor, sir.
Kennedy: Congratulations. How does it feel to be an All-American?
Athlete2: Very good, sir.
Kennedy: Congratulations. How do you feel?
Forrest: I gotta pee© pee: 小便
.
Kennedy: I believe he said he had to go pee.
Forrest: Some time later, for no particular reason, somebody shot that nice young president when he was riding in his car. And a few years after that, somebody shot his little brother, too. Only he was in a hotel kitchen. Must be hard being brothers. I wouldn’t know.
