什么是权力
酒过三巡,辛德勒(Shindler)与纳粹军官阿蒙哥特(Amon Goeth)到阳台闲聊。平常,Goeth经常无缘无故开枪射击,乱杀无辜,他认为,随意杀人就是权力。Shindler却说,“正义”才是能让一个人操生杀大权的原因,宽恕才是权力。——看看Shindler的原话是怎么说的:
Goeth: You know, I look at you. I watch you, and you're never drunk. Oh, that's...that's real control. Control is power. That's power. Is that why they fear us? We have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us. They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. A man commits a crime, he should know better. We have him killed, and feel good about it. Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better.
Shindler: That's not power, though. That's justice. It's different than power. Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.
Goeth: You think that's power?
Shindler: That's what the emperors had. A man stole something; he's brought in before the emperor. He throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy. He knows he's going to die. And the emperor... pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go.
Goeth: I think you are drunk.
Shindler: That's power, Amon.
【重点讲解】
look at,固定搭配的词组,意思是看、观察。drunk,喝醉了的。Goeth说Shindler从不喝醉,显示了超强的控制力。进而他发出感慨:控制力就是权力。犹太人怕我们,就是因为我们有生杀予夺的大权,我们能随意决定一个犹太人的生死。arbitrarily,武断地,任意地。
接着Goeth举了个例子。比如对一个犯了罪的人,如果我们杀了他,我们会感觉快乐;如果是我们亲手杀了他,就更有快感了。commit a crime,犯罪,可以当作一个固定搭配来记忆。
Shindler却提出了不同的见解。他认为,正义(justice)使我们有权杀死一个犯了罪的人。真正的权力是,我们有充足的理由去处死他,而我们却不去这样做。every,每一个,全部的,引申为充分的;justification,认为有理,认为正当,理由。他解释说,就像小偷乞求(beg for)宽恕,皇帝原谅(pardon)了他,让这个毫无价值的人(worthless)继续苟且偷生,皇帝(emperor)们拥有的就是权力而不是正义。throw oneself on the ground,匍匐在地。
再做些文字外的注释,以便更透彻地理解这段话。Shindler话外的意思是,“权力”是存在于人与人的关系中的,可以使用,可以执行;“正义”却不是一个人或一群人与生俱来的,它是一种参照的标准,是独立于人之外的。当一个人或一群人以正义的化身自居的时候,这个世界也就危险了。
《辛德勒的名单》经典台词集锦
1、Amon Goeth: They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. When you work closely with them, like I do, you see this. They have this power. It's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus. They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment because this is as real as typhus. I see it all the time. It's a matter of money? Hmm?
阿蒙·高斯:他们在你身上投射了一道咒符,你知道吗,犹太人。当你和他们很亲近地工作时,就像我,你这么想。他们有这样的能量。就像是病毒。有些我的人就被这种病毒感染了。他们应该被同情,而不是惩罚。他们应该接受治疗因为这样才能像斑疹伤寒症一样真实。我一直是这么认为的。这和金钱有关系吗?嗯?
2、Amon Goeth: The truth, Helen, is always the right answer.
阿蒙·高斯:真相是,海伦,总是正确的答案。
3、Itzhak Stern: How many cigarettes have you smoked tonight?
伊萨克·斯特恩:你昨晚抽了多少烟?
4、Oskar Schindler: Too many.
奥斯卡·辛德勒:太多了。
5、Itzhak Stern: For every one you smoke, I smoke half.

6、Amon Goeth: Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.
阿蒙·高斯:今天就是历史。今天将会被永远记住。很多年以后年轻人将会对今天充满好奇。今天就是历史并且你们就是其中的一部分。六百年前,当他们到处散播对黑死亡的谴责,所谓的大卡西米(Casimir the Great),告诉犹太人他们应该到克拉科夫去。他们来了。他们带着财产来到这座城市。他们定居下来。他们掌握权利。他们在商业、科学、教育和艺术上兴盛起来。没有他们带来的东西就没有他们的繁荣。六个世纪以来,这儿是犹太人的克拉科夫。到今晚为止,这六百年将会是谣言。他们从来没有发生过。今天就是历史。
8、Oskar Schindler: Look, All you have to do is tell me what it's worth to you. What's a person worth to you?
第66届(1994年)奥斯卡最佳影片——《辛德勒的名单》(Schindler'sList)根据澳大利亚小说家托马斯·科内雅雷斯所著的《辛德勒名单》改编而成。史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格导演,真实的再现了德国企业家奥斯卡·辛德勒在第二次世界大战期间保护1100余名犹太人免遭法西斯杀害的真实的历史事件。
电影剧情
《辛德勒的名单》真实地再现了德国企业家奥斯卡·辛德勒在第二次世界大战期间保护1100余名犹太人免遭法西斯杀害的真实的历史事件。
德国投机商人辛德勒1908年4月28日出生于现捷克境内的摩拉维亚。二战初期是个国社党党员。他好色、会享受,是当地有名的纳粹分子中的坚定分子。他很善于利用与冲锋队头目的关系攫取最大资本。在被占领的波兰,犹太人是最便宜的劳工,因此这位精明的发战争财的辛德勒在他新创办的搪瓷厂只雇用纽伦堡种族法中规定的牺牲者。这些人得到搪瓷厂的一份工作,因此也就得到暂时的安全,没有受到杀人机器的肆虐,辛德勒的工厂成了犹太人的避难所。在他那儿工作的人都受到从事重要战争产品工作的保护:搪瓷厂给前线部队供应餐具和子弹。
到了1943年,克拉科夫犹太人居住区遭受到的残酷血洗,使辛德勒对纳粹的最后一点幻想破灭了。他早就知道德国人建造的火葬场及煤气室,早就听说,浴室和蒸气室的喷头上流出的不是水,而是毒气。从那时起,辛德勒只有一个想法:尽可能更多地保护犹太人免受奥斯维辛的死亡。他制定了一份声称他的工厂正常运转所"必需"的工人名单,通过贿赂纳粹官员,使这批犹太人得以幸存下来。他越来越受到违反种族法的怀疑,但他每次都很机智地躲过了纳粹的迫害。他仍一如既往地不惜冒生命危险营救犹太人。当运输他的女工的一列火车错开到奥斯威辛--比尔肯利时,他破费了一大笔财产把这些女工又追回了他的工厂。
不久,苏联红军来到了克拉科夫市,向在辛德勒工厂里干活幸存的犹太人宣布:战争结束了。下大雪的一天晚上,辛德勒向工人们告别,获救的1100多名犹太人为他送行,他们把一份自动发起签名的证词交给了他,以证明他并非战犯。同时,其中一人敲掉自己的金牙,他人把它打制成一枚金戒指,赠送给辛德勒。戒指上镌刻着一句犹太人的名言:“Save one life,save the world entire .(当你挽救了一条生命就等于挽救了整个世界。)”辛德勒忍不住流下眼泪。他为自己还有汽车和一颗金质胸章而懊悔,因为这样的一颗如果将它卖掉的话至少可以多救出一两个人,这样的一辆汽车卖掉的话至少可以多救出十个人。辛德勒为他的救赎行动已竭尽自己一切所能。他在战争期间积攒的全部钱财,都用来挽救犹太人的生命。
战后,辛德勒在瑞士的一个小镇隐居下来,身无分文,靠他曾经救助过的犹太人的救济生活。过了几年,辛德勒在贫困中死去。按照犹太人的传统,辛德勒被作为"36名正义者"之一安葬在耶路撒冷。
影片结束时,是辛德勒的坟墓,那些在战前曾经获得辛德勒救助,而几十年后已步入暮年的犹太人,以及他们在片中对应的演员一起走过坟墓,都在墓碑上放一个代表"感恩永远不变"的石块作为敬礼。更多
在影片的初期辛德勒是个花花公子哥,有自己的工厂、有车、这样的男子在那个年代简直就是一个香饽饽,更何况还是个帅男人。原本想利用二战发一笔横财的他,目睹了犹太人被惨遭杀害良心觉醒。由此在自己的工厂雇佣犹太人,借此来保护这些犹太人。
我想《辛德勒的名单》之所以这么成功,除了影片传达出的人性,良知,还有在古难时期觉醒的真、善、美。无不在敲打着人心。下面就让我们一起来欣赏本篇的经典对白吧!看看是否触动了那颗沉睡的心。
