今天看到《Newsroom》第一季的剧本。
第一季的剧本中，有第一集的内容。我很喜欢的一段话。特意贴来这里欣赏。
We sure used to be.
我们的确辉煌过
We stood up for what was right.
我们为正义而拼
We fought for moral reasons.
为道德而战
We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons.
因合乎道德而立良法 因违背道德而废恶法
We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.
我们要消灭的是贫穷 不是穷人
We sacrificed. We cared about our neighbors.
甘愿牺牲 关心邻里
We put our money where our mouths were and we never beat our chest.
勤劳踏实 不空口说大话
We built great big things,
我们有过伟大的发明
made ungodly technological advances,
有过逆天的科学创造
explored the universe, cured diseases,
探索太空 治愈疾病
and we cultivated the world's greatest artists
培育出了最出色的艺术家
and the world's greatest economy.
和最强盛的经济体
We reached for the stars, acted like men.
我们敢于挑战 同时心怀谦逊
We aspired to intelligence. We didn't belittle it.
我们追求智慧 不自负
It didn't make us feel inferior.
并没有因此降了身价
We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election
我们不凭"投票给了谁"来区分人
and we didn't... we didn't scare so easy.
也不像现在 如此轻易畏惧
Ahem, we were able to be all these things
以前之所以能做到这些
and do all these things because we were informed.
是因为我们信息充足
By great men, men who were revered.
有受人尊敬的伟大人物告知我们
