《记录集》烬叙秋

52、肖申克的救赎 。

　　我不得不提醒自己，有些鸟注定是不该被囚于笼中的。它的羽毛闪耀着太过明亮的光辉。把它关起来是种罪过，这一点你也清楚。而当它飞走时，你确实会暗自释怀。但是，它一旦离开，你的居所就一下子变空了，变得了无生气了。我大概是想念我的朋友了吧。
　　——《肖申克的救赎》
　　I have to remind myself that some birds aren'tmeant to be caged. Their feathers are just toobright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice.But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
