15.There`s not a day goes by I don`t feel regret. Not because I`m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. 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 bull...word. So you go on and stamp your form, sorry, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don`t give a .
我無時不刻地對自己的所作所為深感內疚，這不是因為我在這裏(指監獄)，也不是討好妳們(指假釋官)。回首曾經走過的彎路，我多麽想對那個犯下重罪的愚蠢的年輕人說些什麽，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裏，只留下壹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，蓋妳的章吧，我沒什麽可說的了。

18.Red narrating: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I dont want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. Id like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it cant expressed in words and it makes you heartache because of it I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage an d made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man is Shawshank felt free.
瑞德旁白：到今天我還不知道那兩個意大利娘們在唱些什麽，其實，我也不想知道。有 些東西還是留著不說為妙。我像她們該是在唱壹些非常美妙動人的故事，美妙得難以用言語來表達，美妙的讓妳心痛。告訴妳吧，這些聲音直插雲霄，飛得比任何壹個人敢想的夢 還要遙遠。就像壹些美麗的鳥兒撲扇著翅膀來到我們褐色牢籠，讓那些墻壁消失得無影無蹤。就在那壹剎那，鯊堡監獄的每壹個人都感到了自由。
19、Perhaps one day you muster the courage, to make a clean breast of everything in the heart onlyended up to let others see the joke, because they did not understand you to say what, also don't know why do you think things are so important, say, almost cried out. I think the worst thing in the world, than with full of heart and secret, but no one can tell, but no one can understand!
或許有壹天妳鼓起勇氣，把心中的壹切和盤托出，結果只落得讓別人看笑話，因為他們壓根兒不懂妳在說什麽，也不知道妳為什麽覺得事情那麽重要，說著說著，幾乎要哭了出來。我想普天下最糟的事，莫過於懷著滿腔心事與秘密，卻非無人可訴，而是沒有人聽得懂！
