『壹』 英語電影片段，演講用
肖申克的救贖經典
Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.
懦怯囚禁人的靈魂,希望可以令你感受自由。強者自救,聖者渡人。
Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.
監獄生活充滿了一段又一段的例行公事。
These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
這些牆很有趣。剛入獄的時候,你痛恨周圍的高牆;慢慢地,你習慣了生活在其中;最終你會發現自己不得不依靠它而生存。這就叫體制化。
I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
我發現自己是如此的激動,以至於不能安坐或思考。我想只有那些重獲自由即將踏上新征程的人們才能感受到這種即將揭開未來神秘面紗的激動心情。我希望跨越邊境，與朋友相見握手。我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中一樣的藍。我希望。
I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
人生可以歸結為一種簡單的選擇:不是忙著活,就是忙著死。
There's not a day goes by I don't fell regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can』t. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth,I don't give a shit.
我無時無刻不對自己的所作所為深感內疚,這不是因為我在這里(監獄),也不是討好你們(假釋官)。回首曾經走過的彎路,我多麼想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什麼,告訴他我現在的感受,告訴他還可以有其他的方式解決問題。可是,我做不到了.那個年輕人早已淹沒在歲月的長河裡,只留下一個老人孤獨地面對過去。重新做人?騙人罷了!小子,別再浪費我的時間了,蓋你的章吧,說實話，我不在乎。
Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...
有的鳥是不會被關住的，因為它們的羽毛太美麗了！
『貳』 一兩分鍾的簡單電影獨白（英文）
The Wizard of Oz 綠野仙蹤
桃樂絲回到家後跟她的阿姨的獨白，不過是很老很老的片子了。 所以比較。。。老舊。。。不過最後一句很經典There's no place like home!
Dorothy: But it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you...and you were there. But you couldn't have been could you? No, Aunt Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasn't very nice, but most of it was beautiful--but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was "I want to go home," and they sent me home! Doesn't anybody believe me? But anyway, Toto, we're home! Home. And this is my room, and you're all here and I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again. Because I love you all. And... Oh Auntie Em! There's no place like home!
The Princess Diaries 公主日記
結尾時她的記者發表會。。。OMG!
Mia: Hi, um... hello. I'm Mia. Um, it's stopped raining! I'm really no good at speech-making. Normally I get so nervous that I faint or run away, or sometimes I even get sick. But you really didn't need to know that... But I'm not so afraid anymore. See, my father helped me. Earlier this evening had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother 0helped me, by telling me it was ok, and by supporting me like she has for my entire life. But then I wondered how I'd feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, or would I feel sad? And then I realized how many stupid times a day I use the word 'I.' And probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's like seven billion other people out there on the planet, and... sorry, I'm going too fast. But then I thought, if I cared about the other seven billion out there, instead of just me, that's probably a much better use of my time.
See, if i were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and the thoughts of people smarter than me would be much better heard, and just maybe those thoughts could be turned into actions. So this morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now I choose to be forevermore, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.
Stepmom《繼母》
很經典的台詞，是朱麗亞。羅伯茨演的，很喜歡，不過片子並不出名。
Isabel: I never wanted to be a mom. Well, sharing it with you is one thing, but caring alone the rest of my life, always being compared to you. You're perfect. They worship you. I just don't want to be looking over my shoulder everyday, for twenty years, knowing that someone would have done it right, done it better, the way that I can't. You're mother-earth incarnate, you ride with Anna, you know every story, every wound, every memory Their whole life's happiness is wrapped up in you. Every single moment. Don't you get it? Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her Fitting her veil, fluffing her dress. Telling her, no woman has ever looked that beautiful. And my fear is that (pause) she'll be thinking "I wish my mom was here".

My name is Harvey Milk, and I want
to recruit you. I want to recruit
you for the fight to preserve your
democracy. Brothers and sisters, you
must come out. Come out to your
parents. I know that it is hard and
will hurt them but think about how
they will hurt you in the voting
booth! Come out to your friends, if
they indeed are your friends. Come
out to your neighbors, to your
fellow workers. Once and for all,
break down the myths, destroy the
lies and distortions. For your sake.
For their sake. For the sake of the
youngsters who are becoming scared
by the votes from Dade to Eugene. On
the Statue of Liberty it says "Give
me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to be free."
In the Declaration of Independence
it is written "All men are created
equal and are endowed with certain
inalienable rights." For Mr. Briggs
and Mrs. Bryant and all the bigots
out there, no matter how hard you
try, you cannot erase those words
from the Declaration of

『肆』 電影東京審判里有很多很震撼的英文陳述 我要台詞
東京審判英文台詞
東京審判英文台詞
I do apologize for some Japanese guy's behavior
At first,I was astonished by the movie plots and the whole story.Some history could not be neglected.Surely ignoring is not the way of solving the problems
Secondly, many Chinese and Korean friends must hate the prime minister's behavior.I am not defencing, this is just an objective truth that visiting the shrine is not totally wrong as a Japanese military officer,however ,he was not just visiting the shrine(if yes, he should have visited it secretly),he was offending.
Thirdly, though I don't know Chinese language very much, but I know, the words here must be full of hatred and anger.No matter how beautiful word could not change the history, but I must say sorry again, despite I am just a peanut not something.
I still wish the future world a joyful, beautiful and peaceful one.Can we shake hands before long?
首先,我需要告訴你，歷史不是故事，這部電影是按照歷史事件來拍攝的！力求還原歷史！！！為求真實，導演不準演員擅自更改台詞！！這在以往的任何影片都是沒有的！！
其次,我們應該痛恨日本右翼勢力，但是作為一國總理的小泉，是不是應該為自己的所作所為負責？他的做法是不是在錯誤的引導一些不明史實的日本國民！？？
你說參拜神社的日本軍官並不是完全錯誤！？笑話！！除非那些戰爭罪人，戰爭魔鬼被請出神社！！
第三,建議你好好學習一下中國歷史，世界戰爭史！
第四，我想用你的題目反問你：是誰先對不起誰？？我們今天在這里聲討日本人曾經、現在、甚至將來都不願認錯的惡劣行為，日本在中國殺死22000000中國人的生命！！是誰對不起誰？？
『伍』 英文影片中的經典演講獨白
這是莎士比亞著名作品《哈姆雷特》中的名句
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
翻譯為
生存或毀滅, 這是個必答之問題:
是否應默默的忍受坎苛命運之無情打擊,
還是應與深如大海之無涯苦難奮然為敵,
並將其克服。
此二抉擇, 就竟是哪個較崇高?
死即睡眠, 它不過如此!
倘若一眠能了結心靈之苦楚與肉體之百患,
那麼, 此結局是可盼的!
死去, 睡去...
但在睡眠中可能有夢, 啊, 這就是個阻礙:
當我們擺脫了此垂死之皮囊,
在死之長眠中會有何夢來臨?
它令我們躊躇,
使我們心甘情願的承受長年之災,
否則誰肯容忍人間之百般折磨,
如暴君之政、驕者之傲、失戀之痛、法章之慢、貪官之侮、或庸民之辱,
假如他能簡單的一刃了之?
還有誰會肯去做牛做馬, 終生疲於操勞,
默默的忍受其苦其難, 而不遠走高飛, 飄於渺茫之境,
倘若他不是因恐懼身後之事而使他猶豫不前?
此境乃無人知曉之邦, 自古無返者。
所以,「理智」能使我們成為懦夫,
而「顧慮」能使我們本來輝煌之心志變得黯然無光, 像個病夫。
再之, 這些更能壞大事, 亂大謀, 使它們失去魄力。
『陸』 高分求經典英語電影的經典對白。
泰坦尼克號
(On deck. Rose is crying and runs past Jack who is lying on a bench smoking. She climbs over the ship』s railings and hangs on with her back to the ship about to jump into the sea.)
JACK: Don't do it!
ROSE: Stay back! Don't come any closer!
JACK: Come on! Just give me your hand and I'll pull you back over.
ROSE: No, stay where you are! I mean it! I'll let go!
JACK: No, you won't!
ROSE: What do you mean, No I won't? Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do. You don't know me.
JACK: Well, you would have done it already.
ROSE: You're distracting me. Go away!
JACK: I can't. I'm involved now. You let go, and I'm gonna have to jump in there after you.
(Jack starts taking off his shoes.)
ROSE: Don't be absurd. You'd be killed.
JACK: I'm a good swimmer.
ROSE: The fall alone would kill you.
JACK: It would hurt; I'm not saying it wouldn't. To tell you the truth, I'm a lot more concerned about that water being so cold.
ROSE: How cold?
JACK:Freezing. Maybe a couple of degrees over. Have you ever, uh, ever been to Wisconsin?
ROSE: What?
JACK:Well, they have some of the coldest winters around. I grew up there, near Chippewa Falls. I remember when I was a kid, me and my father, we went ice-fishing out on Lake Wisota. Ice-fishing is, you know, when you...
ROSE: I know what ice-fishing is!
JACK: Sorry. You just seemed like, you know, kind of an indoor girl. Anyway, I uh, fell through some thin ice, and I'm telling ya, water that cold, like right down there, it hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body. You can't breathe, you can't think, at least not about anything but the pain. Which is why I'm not looking forward to jumping in there after you. Like I said, I don't have a choice. I guess I'm kind of hoping that you'll come back over the railing and get me off the hook here.
(He starts to take off his coat).
ROSE: You're crazy!
JACK: That's what everybody says, but with all e respect, miss, I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship here. Come on! Come on, give me your hand. You don't want to do this.
(She takes his hand and turns around. They are facing each other but Rose is on the other side of the railing.)
JACK: Whew. I'm Jack Dawson.
ROSE: I'm Rose Dewitt Buchater.
你要跳的話，我也只好跳下去了
(甲板上。露絲哭著跑過甲板，被正躺在椅子上抽煙的傑克看到。露絲爬上船舷，背對著船站著，正要跳進大海。)
傑克：別這樣。
露絲：別過來！別靠近我！
傑克：來，把手給我，我把你拉過來。
露絲：不！站在那兒別動！我是認真的！我要跳了！
傑克：不，你不會跳的。
露絲：你說我不會跳是什麼意思？別妄想跟我講該怎麼不該怎麼的廢話。你不了解我。 傑克：你真想跳的話早就跳了。
露絲：你在分散我的注意力。滾開！
傑克：不行，現在我給卷進來了。你要跳的話，我也只好跳下去。
(傑克開始脫鞋子。)
露絲：別傻了，你會死的。
傑克：我水性很好。
露絲：這么高跳下去，摔也摔死了。
傑克：可能很痛，我沒說不痛，不過實話講，我更怕水太涼了。
露絲：多涼？
傑克：像冰一樣。頂多高幾度。你，呃，你去過威斯康辛州沒有？
露絲：什麼州？
傑克： 那兒的冬天最冷。我在那兒長大，在奇普瓦瀑布那兒。我記得小時候我爸爸和我去委索塔冰湖釣魚，在冰湖上釣魚，你知道嗎，就是當你……
露絲：我知道！
傑克：對不起，我以為你是那種足不出戶的女孩子呢。總之，我，呃，踩到一片薄冰上掉下水去，我告訴你吧，水真冷，就像下面的水一樣，打在身上，就像千萬把小刀刺進身體一樣，你不能呼吸，不能思考，只覺得渾身刺痛。所以我不想跟你跳下去。不過，我也沒有別的選擇。所以我還是希望你能從船舷爬進來，讓我得到解脫。
(他開始脫上衣。)
露絲：你瘋了。
傑克： 人人都這么說，不過不管從哪方面說，我沒像你一樣讓自己掛在船舷上。來，來，把手給我，你不想往下跳。
(她抓住他的手，轉過身來，他們互相看著，中間隔著船舷。)
傑克：我叫傑克·唐遜。
露絲：我叫露絲·迪維特·布凱特。
###Only you can do that###
(Rose and Jack are alone in the room.)
ROSE: Jack, this is impossible. I can't see you.
JACK: I need to talk to you!
ROSE: No, Jack, no! Jack, I'm engaged. I'm marrying Cal. I love Cal.
JACK: Rose, you're no picnic. All right, you're a spoiled little brat even, but under that you're the most amazingly astoundingly wonderful girl—woman I've ever known and...
ROSE: Jack, I...
JACK: No, no. Let me try to get this out. You, you're amazing. I'm not an idiot. I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket. I have nothing to offer you, and I know that. I understand. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump, remember? I can't turn away without knowin' that you'll be all right. That's all that I want.
ROSE: Well, I'm fine, I'll be fine. Really.
JACK: Really? I don't think so. They've got you trapped, Rose and you're goin' to die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away, because you're strong. But sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose, that fire is going to burn out.
ROSE: It's not up to you to save me, Jack.
JACK: You're right. Only you can do that.
只有你自己能夠救自己
(露絲和傑克單獨一起在房間里。)
露絲：傑克，這不可能。我不能見你。
傑克：我需要與你談談。
露絲：不行，傑克，不。傑克，我已和卡爾訂婚，我愛卡爾。
傑克：露絲，你不輕松，你知道嗎？你甚至給寵壞了。但你是一個內心高尚的棒女孩——，是我從未遇見過的女人……
露絲：傑克，我……
傑克：不，聽我說完。你，你很美。我不是傻瓜，知道是怎麼回事。我口袋裡只有十元，我知道不能給你什麼，我知道。但我不能自拔。你跳下，我也跳下，記得嗎？我不能不顧你而轉身離去。我只想這樣。
露絲：哦，我很好。我會很好的，真的。
傑克：真的？我不覺得。他們已將你困住，露絲。如果不早日掙脫出來，你便會死去。也許不是現在，因為你還年輕。但遲早，我所愛的那團火，露絲，你身上的那團火終究會燃盡。
露絲：不用你來救我，傑克。
傑克：對，只有你自己能夠救自己。
###Oh god. I couldn』t go###
(Rose』s lifeboat is lowered slowly into the sea. Rose looks up at Jack tears pouring down her face. Suddenly she climbs back onto the Titanic scrambling onto the deck below Cal and Jack.)
JACK: Rose! Noooo!
CAL: Stop her!
JACK: Rose! What are you doing?
CAL: Stop her!
JACK: No!
(Jack runs down the stairs to meet her as she runs towards him wearing Cal』s coat which has the diamond in its pocket. They embrace.)
JACK: Rose, you're so stupid! Why did you do that, huh? You're so stupid,
Rose! Why did you do that? Why?
ROSE: You jump, I jump, right?
JACK: Right.
ROSE: Oh, god. I couldn't go. I couldn't go, Jack.
JACK: It's all right. We'll think of something.
ROSE: At least I'm with you.
JACK: We'll think of something.
哦，上帝。我不能走
(露絲的救生艇徐徐降下。露絲抬頭望著傑克，淚如雨下。突然，她爬回泰坦尼克號，從卡爾和傑克腳下的甲板跌跌撞撞地爬上船。)
傑克：露絲。不要！
卡爾：攔住她！
傑克：露絲，你幹嘛？
卡爾：攔住她！
傑克：不要！
(傑克奔下樓去，兩人朝著對方跑去。露絲身穿卡爾的外套，口袋裡有那枚鑽石。他們擁抱。)
傑克： 露絲，你真蠢！你為什麼這樣做？你真蠢，露絲！你為什麼這樣做？為什麼？ 露絲：你跳下，我就跳下，對嗎？
傑克：對。
露絲：哦，上帝。我不能走。我不能，傑克。
傑克：好了，沒事了。我們想別的辦法。
露絲：至少我和你在一起了。
傑克：我們想想別的辦法。
### You must do me this honor. You must promise me that you will survive...### (Both Rose and Jack are in the icy-cold sea now.)
ROSE: I love you, Jack.
JACK: No... Don't you do that. Don't say your good-byes. Not yet. Do you understand me?
ROSE: I'm so cold.
JACK: Listen, Rose. You're going to get out of here. You're going to go on and you're going to make lots of babies and you're going to watch them grow and you're going to die an old, an old lady, warm in your bed. Not here. Not this night. Not like this. Do you understand me?
ROSE: I can't feel my body.
JACK: Winning that ticket was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose, I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. You must promise me that you will survive... that you won't give up...no matter what happens...no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.
ROSE: I promise.
JACK: Never let go.
ROSE: I will never let go, Jack, I'll never let go.
###你要幫我個忙。答應我活下去……###
(露絲和傑克都在冰冷的海水中)
露絲：傑克，我愛你。
傑克：別，別這樣。不要說再見。還不是時候。你明白了嗎？
露絲：我覺得很冷。
傑克： 聽我說，露絲。你一定能脫險的。你要活下去，生許多孩子，看著他們長大。你會安享晚年，安息在溫暖的床上。而不是今晚在這里，不是像這樣死去。你明白了嗎？ 露絲：我失去知覺了。
傑克：贏得船票是我一生中最幸運的事。讓我認識了你。感謝上蒼，露絲，我是那麼感激它！你要幫我個忙。答應我活下去……無論發生什麼……無論多麼絕望……永不放棄。答應我，露絲，永不放棄你對我的承諾。
露絲：我答應你。
傑克：永不放棄。
露絲：我不會放棄的，傑克，我永遠不會放棄。

『柒』 英文電影中有哪些演講
《The King's Speech》
In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in history, I send to every household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself.
For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war.
Over and over again, we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies; but it has bee in vain.
We have been forced into a conflict, for which we are called, with our allies to meet the challenge of a principle which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilized order in the world.
It is a principle which permits a state in the selfish pursuit of power to disregard its treaties and its solemn pledges, which sanctions the use of force or threat of force against the sovereignty and independence of other states.
Such a principle, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere primitive doctrine that might is right, and if this principle were established through the world, the freedom of our own country and of the whole British Commonwealth of nations would be in danger.
But far more than this, the peoples of the world would be kept in bondage of fear, and all hopes of settled peace and of security, of justice and liberty, among nations, would be ended.
This is the ultimate issue which confronts us. For the sake of all that we ourselves hold dear, and of the world order and peace, it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge.
It is to this high purpose that I now call my people at home and my peoples across the seas, who will make our cause their own.
I ask them to stand calm and firm and united in this time of trial.
The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield, but we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God. If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then with God's help, we shall prevail.
《國王的演講》
在這個庄嚴時刻
也許是我國歷史上最生死攸關的時刻
我向每一位民眾
不管你們身處何方
傳遞這樣一個消息
對你們的心情 我感同身受
甚至希望能挨家挨戶 向你們訴說
我們中大多數人將面臨第二次戰爭
我們已多次尋求通過和平方式
解決國家間的爭端
但一切都是徒勞
我們被迫捲入這場戰爭
我們必須接受這個挑戰
如果希特勒大行其道
世界文明秩序將毀於一旦
這種信念褪去偽裝之後
只是對強權的赤裸裸的追求
為了捍衛我們珍視的一切
我們必須接受這個挑戰
為此崇高目標
我呼籲國內的民眾
以及國外的民眾以此為己任
我懇請大家保持冷靜和堅定
在考驗面前團結起來
考驗是嚴峻的
我們還會面臨一段艱難的日子
戰爭也不只局限於前線
只有心懷正義才能正確行事
我們在此虔誠向上帝祈禱
只要每個人堅定信念
在上帝的幫助下
我們必將勝利
