阿甘正傳英語經典段落1：
Mama thought it would be good for me to go to the public school cause maybe it would hep
me to be like everbody else, but after I been there a little wile they come an told Mama I ought'n
to be in there with everbody else. They let me finish out first grade tho. Sometimes I'd set there
wile the teacher was talkin an I don't know what was going on in my mind, but I'd start lookin out
the winder at the birds an squirrels an things that was climbin an settin in a big ole oak tree
outside, an then the teacher'd come over an fuss at me. Sometimes, I'd just get this real strange
thing come over me an start shoutin an all, an then she'd make me go out an set on a bench in the
hall. An the other kids, they'd never play with me or nothin, cept'n to chase me or get me to start
hollerin so's they could laugh at me— all cept Jenny Curran, who at least didn't run away from me
an sometimes she'd let me walk nex to her goin home after class.
阿甘正傳英語經典段落2：
I stayed in that school for about five or six years. It wadn't all bad tho. They'd let us paint
with our fingers an make little things, but mostly, it jus teachin us how to do stuff like tie up our
shoes an not slobber food or get wild an yell an holler an thow shit aroun. They wadn't no book
learnin to speak of— cept to show us how to read street signs an things like the difference between
the Men's an the Ladies' rooms. With all them serious nuts in there, it woulda been impossible to
conduct anythin more'n that anyway. Also, I think it was for the purpose of keepin us out of
everbody else's hair. Who the hell wants a bunch of retards runnin aroun loose? Even I could
understand that.
阿甘正傳英語經典段落3：
When I was born, my mama name me Forrest, cause of General Nathan Bedford Forrest who
fought in the Civil War. Mama always said we was kin to General Forrest's fambly someways.
An he was a great man, she say, cept'n he started up the Ku Klux Klan after the war was over an
even my grandmama say they's a bunch of no-goods. Which I would tend to agree with, cause
down here, the Grand Exalted Pishposh, or whatever he calls hissef, he operate a gun store in
town an once, when I was maybe twelve year ole, I were walkin by there and lookin in the winder
an he got a big hangman's noose strung up inside. When he seen me watchin, he done thowed it
around his own neck an jerk it up like he was hanged an let his tongue stick out an all so's to scare
me. I done run off and hid in a parkin lot behin some cars til somebody call the police an they
come an take me home to my mama. So whatever else ole General Forrest done, startin up that
Klan thing was not a good idea— any idiot could tell you that. Nonetheless, that's how I got my
name.
阿甘正傳英語經典段落4：
The other day, I'm walkin down the street an this man was out workin in his yard. He'd got
hissef a bunch of shrubs to plant an he say to me, "Forrest, you wanna earn some money?" an I
says, "Uh-huh," an so he sets me to movin dirt. Damn near ten or twelve wheelbarrows of dirt, in
the heat of the day, truckin it all over creation. When I'm thru he reach in his pocket for a dollar.
What I shoulda done was raised Cain about the low wages, but instead, I took the damn dollar an
all I could say was "thanks" or somethin dumb-soundin like that, an I went on down the street,
waddin an unwaddin that dollar in my hand, feelin like a idiot.
