1、I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant 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 hem 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.

 

　　我不得不提醒自己，有些鸟是不能关在笼子里的，他们的羽毛太漂亮了，当他们飞走的时候…你会觉得把他们关起来是种罪恶，（经典语录  www.lz13.cn）但是，他们不在了你会感到寂寞，可是我只是想我的朋友了…

 

2、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, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a ****.

 

　　我无时无刻不对自己的所作所为深感内疚， 这不是因为我在这里 （监狱），也不是讨好你们（假释官）。回首曾经走过的弯路，我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么，告诉他我现在的感受，告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是，我做不到了。那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里，只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人？骗人罢了！小子，别再浪费我的时间了，盖你的章吧，我没有什么可说的了。

 

3、Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
