喜剧明星罗宾·威廉姆斯离去

曾主演《死亡诗社》《勇敢者游戏》 《心灵捕手》等电影，拿过奥斯卡男配和金球奖终身成就奖的喜剧明星罗宾·威廉姆斯于2014年8月11日被人发现死于加州Tiburon的家中，终年63岁。据《赫芬顿邮报》报道，警方认为威廉姆斯是自杀身亡。

廉姆斯的妻子Susan Schneider也发表声明：

"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

O Captain! My Captain! R.I.P.

《死亡诗社》经典台词节选：

要完全理解诗歌，我们首先必须了解它的格调、韵律、修辞手法，然后提两个问题：，诗主题如何艺术地实现；第二，诗主题的重要性。To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent with its meter, rhyme and figures of speech, then ask two questions: 1) How artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered and 2) How important is that objective?

惟有在梦中，人们才是真正自由的。Only in their dreams can men be truly free。

学会自己思考，学会欣赏文学和语言。不管别人怎么说，文学和语言的确能改变世界。Learn to think for yourselves again. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world。

我们读诗、写诗并不是因为它们好玩，而是因为我们是人类的一分子，而人类是充满激情的。没错，医学、法律、商业、工程，这些都是崇高的追求，足以支撑人的一生。但诗歌、美丽、浪漫、爱情，这些才是我们活着的意义。 We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering -- these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love -- these are what we stay alive for。

死亡诗人致力于吸取生命的精华(梭罗)。 The Dead Poets was dedicated to "sucking the marrow out of life"。

我们是一群浪漫主义者。我们不仅仅是念诗，诗从我们舌间滑落，就像蜜糖。情绪高涨，女人亢奋，灵魂驰骋。 We weren't a Greek organization. We were Romantics. We didn't just read poetry, we let it drip from our tongues like honey. Spirits soared, women swooned and gods were created。

我步入丛林／因为我希望生活得有意义／我希望活得深刻／吸取生命中所有的精华／把非生命的一切都击溃／以免当我生命终结／发现自己从没有活过 (梭罗)

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.To put to rout all that was not life, and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived。来吧，我的朋友／寻找更新世界尚为时不晚／我决心已定，要驶过夕阳尽头／尽管我们不再有昔日的伟力，可以震天撼地／我们仍有着，同样的英雄的心／时间和命运，使它衰老／但坚强意志仍在／让我们去奋斗，去探索，去发现／永不屈服 (丁尼生)(Alfred Lord Tennyson)Come my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset. And though we are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield。

然后我有了信仰／然后我有了想象／我被他们沉迷的嘲笑所感染／然后我看见刚果河／在黑土地上流过／在森林中划下一道金色的沟壑(语言的节奏感) Then I had religion, then I had a vision. I could not turn from their revel in derision. Then I saw the Congo creeping through the black, cutting through the forest with a golden track。

一旦觉得自己懂得，就必须换一种角度来看。这可能显得有些荒唐，或者愚蠢，但必须试一下。同样读书的时候，不要只想作者怎么看，想想你自己怎么看。 Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly or wrong, you must try! Now, when you read, don't just consider what the author thinks. Consider what you think。

你们必须努力寻找自己的声音，因为你越迟开始寻找，找到的可能性就越小。 Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all。 梭罗说“大多

数人都生活在平静的绝望中”。别陷入这种境地，冲出来。别像老鼠逃跑似的，看看你的周围，要敢于开拓自己的天地。Most men lead lives of quiet desperation。(Thoreau)Don't be resigned to that. Break out! Don't just walk off the edge like lemmings。

坚持与从俗不同的信仰的困难。 the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others。

我们都有一种被人接受的需要。但是你必须坚持自己的信仰是独特的是你自己的，哪怕别人认为它们很怪，或者很讨厌，哪怕一群人都说，那太差。 we all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go。

罗伯特·弗洛斯特：希望你们也找到自己的路，找到自己的步伐、步调，任何方向，任何东西都行，不管是自负也好，愚蠢也好，什么都行。 I want you to find your own walk right now. Your own way of striding, pacing. Any direction. Anything you want. Whether it's proud, whether it's silly, anything. Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours。

你们用不着表演，完全为你自己。You don't have to perform. Just make it for yourself。

要敢于逆流而上。Swim against the stream。
