《沉睡者》－影视对白
This is a true story of how friendships run deeper than blood.This is my story of the only three friends in my life that have truly mattered. Two of them were killers 1 that never made it past the age of 30.The other is a non- practicing attorney, living within the pain of his past, too afraid to let it go, finding reassurance 2 instead of confronting its horror. I was the only one that could speak for them, and for the children we were.
这段往事说的是血浓于水的友情，我一生中的三名生死之交。其中两个是杀手，活不过30岁，另一个是不执业的律师，无法摆脱过去的痛苦、恐惧。把我们的经历细说从头，惟有我了。 平淡的语气娓娓道来，好似向我们讲述一段平凡的往事，哪知却满含如此的辛酸。

They were low and muffled 3, the sounds of pain and anguish 4. Those cries can change the course of a life. They are cries that once heard, can never be erased 5 from the memory. On this one night those cries belonged to my friend John, when guard Ferguson
枕而哭。哭泣有几种，有些听起来惶恐而有些童犯白天死充强硬，晚间拥寂寞，有些听起来低沉而哀痛——都是改变人生的哭泣，刻骨铭心的哭泣。今晚，哭声来自我的朋友约翰，费格逊入过他的房间。 有时,外表的强硬是为了掩饰内心的软弱，当独自品味孤独，伤痛会让你无言以对。
