这里整理了4个场景，摘回那些最原本的、最戳人的句子。将感动、鼓舞、警醒、深思，喜欢、不喜欢的，留给大家各自感受。作为新年的礼物。

Seize the day. Make your life extraordinary.
John Keating 老师与这个班级的第一节课，他带班级来到走廊，给大家上了第一节课 “抓住时间，让你的生命与众不同。”
Keating 借用了英国诗人Robert Herrick 的诗：
<To the Virgins to Make Much of Time> Gather ye rose but while ye may. Old time is still flying. and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.
“ 《劝少女们珍惜时光》及时采拮你的花蕾，旧时光一去不回，今天尚在微笑的花朵，明日便在风中枯萎。” （有人常用杜秋娘的《金缕衣》来翻这几句：花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。）
Keating 老师让大家看走廊上挂着的，从前师兄们的照片。让大家感受生命只在弹指一挥间，飞逝得比想象的快，现实比想象残忍。（这段现实得扎心）
“They’re not that different from you are they? Same haircuts, full of hormones just like you, invincible just like you feel, the world is their oyster, they believe they are destined for great things just like many of you, their eyes full of hope just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils.”
“他们与你们没有多大不同吧？同样的发型。充满活力，和你们一样。野心勃勃，和你们一样。世界在他们手中，相信自己一定能成就伟大的事业，就像你们很多人一样。他们眼中充满希望，就像你们一样。但他们是不是就曾经蹉跎，而错过他们本能成就的任何事业？因为，你瞧，各位，当年的年轻人已变成了花下之尘。”

Understanding poetry. Rip out the entire introduction
Keating 老师的第二课：用自己的身心，感受诗歌。用自己的身心，感受生活，感受热情。不要轻易向约定俗成的权威低头。
“This is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your heart and soul. Armies of academics going forward measuring poetry. No! We will not have that here. No more of Mr J. Evans Pritchard. Now, my class, you will learn to think for yourselves again. You will learn to savor words and language. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.”
“这是一场战斗，战争，受害的可能是你们的思想和灵魂。学院派在不断向诗歌发起进攻，度量诗歌。不！我们不能答应。让 J.埃文斯.普理查特见鬼去吧。现在，各位你们要学会自己思考。你们要学会欣赏文字和语言。不管别人怎么告诉你，文字和想法的确能改变世界。”
“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. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.”
”我们读诗写诗，并不是因为它好玩。我们读诗写诗因为我们是人类的一员。而人类是充满激情的。医学、法律、商业、工程，这些是崇高的追求，支撑生命所必须。但是，诗歌、美、浪漫、爱.......这些是我们或者的意义。”
To quote from Whitman, “O me, O life of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless. Of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer: That you are here. That life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.” What will your verse be?
”惠特曼曾写道：自我？生命？这些问题总在不停出现。毫无信仰的人群川流不息。城市充斥这愚昧。生活其中有什么意义？自我？生命？答案：因为你在这里。因为生命存在并各有特性。因为伟大的戏剧在继续，并且你可以奉献一段。因为伟大的戏剧在继续，并且你可以奉献一段。你的段落会是什么样？”

Strive, not yield, not regret. Dead poets society.
奋力生活，不枉此生。死亡诗社，那些诗引发的自省和教会我们的事。
Traditional opening by Society member Henry David Thoreau: “ 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.”
“亨利梭罗的诗：我步入丛林，因为我希望生活有意义。我希望获得深刻，汲取所有生命的精华。把非生命的一切击溃。以免，当我生命终结，发现自己从未活过。”
Alfred Lord Tennyson “Come my friends. It’s 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,”
“阿尔佛雷德.丁尼生的诗：来吧我的朋友们。寻找一个更新的世界还为时不晚。我决心已定，要是过夕阳尽头。尽管我们现在不再有昔日撼天动地的力量。我们依然是我们：同样的雄心，因时间和命运而变得虚弱，但是意志坚定，去奋斗，去探索，去发现，永不屈服。“

Standing on the desk
永远尝试不同视角看事物；寻找自己的声音，不要陷入平静的绝望。
“I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.”
“我站在我的桌子上，是想提醒自己我们必须时刻用不用的眼光看待事物。“
“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. Thoreau said,” Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Don’t be resigned to that. Break out.”
“同学们，你们必须努力寻找自己的声音。因为你等待得越久才开始，你找到自己声音的可能行就越小。梭罗说：大多数人都生活在平静的绝望中。别陷入这种境地。挣脱出来。”
这是一句藏在电影中，却挑明主题的一句话。借梭罗的诗，不能表达得更好了。特别戳心，特别震撼。
写在最后
《死亡诗社》是一部很奇特的电影，它的每一个场景展开都够引起一场深入的讨论。有人说，它是一部关于教育方法的电影；有人说，它是一部关于坚持理想的电影。这些解读也许都太片面。我小时候看过这部电影，可当时的感受远没有成年以后再看来得深刻。好电影就是这样，反复看，每次都有新收获，多年以后看，又有新认识。
