影片對白 Forrest: Anyway. I guess you could say me and mama was on our
own, but we didn't mind. Our house was never empty. There was always
folks coming and going. Sometimes we
had so many people staying with us that every room was filled with travelers.
You know, folks livin' out of their suit cases and
hat cases , and sample cases. One time a young man was staying
with us and he had him a guitar case. (Forrest dances as the traveler sings
"Hound Dog")
Mrs.Gump: Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that's all right ma'am . I was just showing him a thing or two on
the guitar here.
Mrs.Gump: Alright. Supper's ready if y'all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you,ma'am. Say, man, show me that crazy
little walk you just did there. Slow it down some. "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog..."
Forrest: I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the
music, swingin' my hips. This night, me and mama was out shoppin' and we walked
right by Pitsey's Furnature and Appliance store, Guess what... (Elvis was on TV
dancing the way that Forrest taught him)
Mrs.Gump: This is not for children's
eyes.
Forrest: Some years later, that handsome young man who they called "The
King", well he sung too many songs. He had himself a heart attack or something.
Must be hard being the king...
妙詞佳句,活學活用
1.Folk 聽說高頻單詞，常用名詞用法： A 用來稱呼一些人可以翻成人們 Folks, we're ready to start now.
B父母和非常親近的人 How is your folks? C形容詞用法，民間的民俗的 He can play folk music.
2.livin' out of their suit cases: 這里指經常提著公文包走南闖北的人。
5.This is not for children's
eyes.：這就是我們常說的少兒不宜。用法很生活化，我們可以把它活用在其他地方，如果你看到一位男士拿著《婦女之友》看的津津有味，你就可以說this is not
for men's eyes.如果你在講話不想讓旁邊的孩子聽到你就可以說this is not for children's ears.
美國文化面面觀
Presley, Elvis (1935-1977), American singer and actor, one
of the most popular and influential entertainers of the 20th century. Born on
January 8, 1935, Elvis Presley moved with his family to Memphis in September
1948. He attended L.C. Humes High School and after graduation worked as a truck
driver in the city. In 1953, on his lunch break, he recorded two songs for his
mother at the Memphis Recording Service. These songs brought him a recording
contract and launched his rise to fame. Presley is renowned as an early pioneer
of rock music, fusing the sounds of country music and rhythm-and-blues
influences with what was then the new rock-and-roll style. His unprecedented,
electrically charged performances also helped make Presley one of the first mass
idols of American popular culture.
思想火花
貓王，又名the king of rock and
roll，是阿甘傳奇經歷中出現的第一個名人。而影片把他的成功和阿甘緊密地聯系在一起，雖然不符合事實但確為影片的娛樂性增色不少。而無論是貓王還是其他在美國歷史中充當重要角色的人物，和阿甘打過交道的人似乎都是非死即傷。可是大家仔細觀察就會發現，無論阿甘和他們走的多近，對他們的評價總是一筆帶過。這也是影片留給我們的思索，對這些人在歷史中的作用無論消極還是積極，都只能由我們自己去體會。阿甘則總會說for
no particular reason或者for some reason
。阿甘從未對他們有過任何評價，作者在留有余地的同時也希望我們去挖掘更多故事背后的東西，還請大家細細體味。
