我得经常同自己说，有些鸟儿是关不住的。他们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候，你心底里知道把他们关起来是一种罪恶，你会因此而振奋。不过，他们一走，你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我觉得我真是怀念我的朋友。。。                                ————中国 鲍德海引自《肖申克的救赎》

 I always tell myself that some birds can't be put in the cages.So bright their feathers are!I know that it's a crime to cage them in my eyes.When they fly away from cages,your heart will go with them.But the place where you live becomes rather dull while they leave.I feel that I really,really miss my friends.

   原文：

 I have to remind myself that some birds don’t mean to be caged . Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up. DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
