[00:00.000]背景音乐:green to blue - Aurenth[00:00.000]台词:死亡诗社(Dead Poets Society)[00:10.375]Gentlemen, open your text to page 21 of the introduction.[00:14.505]Mr Perry, will you read the opening paragraph of the preface[00:17.917]entitled Understanding Poetry.[00:21.054]'Understand Poetry by Dr J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D.[00:25.717]To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent...[00:28.303]with its metre, rhyme and figures of speech.[00:31.241]Then ask two questions.[00:32.875]One: How artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered?[00:35.465]'And, two: How important is that objective?[00:38.161]Question one rates the poem's perfection.[00:40.728]Question two rates its importance.[00:43.057]'And once these questions have been answered...[00:45.115]determining a poem's greatness becomes a relatively simple matter.[00:48.607]If the poem's score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph...[00:53.123]and its importance is plotted on the vertical[00:57.121]then calculating the total area of the poem...[01:00.301]yields the measure of its greatness.[01:05.961]A sonnet by Byron might score high on the vertical,[01:10.057]but only average on the horizontal.[01:13.147]'A Shakespearean sonnet, on the other hand[01:15.393]would score high both horizontally and vertically,[01:19.339]yielding a massive total area[01:21.673]thereby revealing the poem to be truly great.[01:25.349]'As you proceed through the poetry in this book, practise this rating method.[01:29.103]'As your ability to evaluate poems in this manner grows[01:32.677]so will... so will your enjoyment and understanding of poetry.[01:42.310]Excrement.[01:45.831]That's what I think of Mr J. Evans Pritchard.[01:49.821]We're not laying pipe. We're talking about poetry.[01:53.077]I mean, how can you describe poetry like American Bandstand?[01:54.605]I like Byron. I give him a 42. But I can't dance to it.[01:58.676]Now, I want you to rip out that page.[02:02.611]Go on. Rip out the entire page.[02:08.296]You heard me. Rip it out.[02:10.173]Rip it out![02:13.161]Go on. Rip it out.[02:17.207]Thank you, Mr Dalton.[02:18.951]Gentlemen, tell you what. Don't just tear out that page.[02:21.063]Tear out the entire introduction. I want it gone, history. Leave nothing.[02:25.673]Rip it out! Rip! Be gone,[02:27.745]J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D.![02:30.127]Rip! Shred! Tear![02:32.187]Rip it out! I want to hear nothing but ripping of Mr Pritchard![02:36.051]We'll perforate it, put it on a roll![02:38.427]It's not the Bible. You're not gonna go to hell for this.[02:43.094]Go on. Make a clean tear. I want nothing left of it.[02:47.557]We shouldn't be doing this.[02:49.035]Rip! Rip! Rip![02:50.809]Rip it out! Rip![02:52.727]Rip it! Yeah! Rip it out![03:00.099]-Rip it! -What the hell is going on here?[03:08.201]-I don't hear enough rips. -Mr Keating.[03:11.661]Mr McAllister.[03:15.271]I'm sorry, I... I didn't know you were here.[03:19.467]-I am. -Ah. So you are.[03:24.707]Excuse me.[03:27.815]Keep ripping, gentlemen.[03:30.061]This is a battle, a war.[03:32.661]And the casualties could be your hearts and souls.[03:34.829]Thank you, Mr Dalton.[03:36.607]Armies of academics going forward measuring poetry.[03:39.783]No! We will not have that here.[03:41.907]No more of Mr J. Evans Pritchard.[03:43.385]Now, my class, you will learn to think for yourselves again[03:46.717]You will learn to savour words and language.[03:50.635]No matter what anybody tells you[03:52.685]words and ideas can change the world.[03:56.706]I see that look in Mr Pitts' eye...[03:58.543]like 19th century literature has nothing to do with[04:01.029]going to business school or medical school.[04:03.047]Right? Maybe.[04:05.433]Mr Hopkins, you may agree with him, thinking,[04:07.111]Yes, we should simply study our Mr Pritchard...[04:10.417]and learn our rhyme and metre and go quietly about the business...[04:12.987]of achieving other ambitions.[04:16.621]I have a little secret for you. Huddle up.[04:18.873]Huddle up![04:28.539]We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.[04:32.011]We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.[04:36.195]And the human race is filled with passion.[04:41.141]Medicine, law, business, engineering:[04:43.415]these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.[04:47.591]But poetry,[04:48.999]beauty, romance, love...[04:53.171]these are what we stay alive for.[04:56.059]To quote from Whitman.[04:58.461]O me, O life of the questions of these recurring.[05:03.141]Of the endless trains of the faithless.[05:06.063]Of cities filled with the foolish.[05:08.335]What good amid these, O me, O life?[05:11.699]Answer: That you are here.[05:15.611]That life exists and identity.[05:19.933]That the powerful play goes on,[05:21.967]and you may contribute a verse.[05:26.585]That the powerful play goes on,[05:28.888]and you may contribute a verse.[05:36.631]What will your verse be?[05:43.585]歌词翻译贡献者:C2_CHILL
