Many man dies,not every man really lives.——许多人死去,但是并非所有人真正活的有意义。不知道这样一句话是否让你想起《勇敢的心》()这部电影,电影男主人公威廉·华莱士的一段激昂的话语振奋了无数为自由而战的勇士。
Wallace: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
Soldier A: You can’t be. William Wallace is 7 feet tall.
Wallace: Yes, I’ve heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he’d consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his ass. I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Soldier B: Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live.
Wallace: Ay, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies, that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!
电影中的威廉·华莱士不仅拥有勇敢和信念,还有令人惊叹的头脑。历史上,真正成功的主帅都是即能和士兵共同作战,又有鼓舞士气的技巧。华莱士深知他手下的士兵都是临时招募的,他们并不懂什么大道理。所以,华莱士先用俚语和说笑吸引了自己的战友,尔后一句简单的“they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom.”,足以让任何动摇的苏格兰人热血沸腾。
