我试图将最后一大段的台词自己打下来。 结果开始打之后发现竟有这么多，工程浩大，打了好久。 最后一段非常感人，至少对一个国际主义者来说是这样。 而且最后一段在死亡之后用生前音轨插入的方式，更加彰显效果。 电影JFK最后，同样也是一段长长长长的动人的演说。 以及，电影最后的音乐，the sound of silence，歌词贴在后面了 发现写了好长好长……
现在大概很少有人给一个政治人物这样高的评价了。 那个时代过去了罢。

hello darkness my old friend. 你好，黑暗，我的老朋友 i've come to talk with u again. 我又来和你交谈 because a vision softly creeping. 因为梦幻缓缓涌现 left its seeds while i was sleeping. 在我熟睡时播下种子 and the vision that was planted in my brain. 在我脑海中生根 still remains. 在寂静之声中留存 within the sound of silence 在寂静之声中留存
in restless dreams i walk alone. 在无休止的梦境中，我独自 narrow streets of cobble stone. 走在狭窄的石道上 'neath the halo of a street lamp. 在街灯的光晕下 i turned my collar to the cold damp. 寒冷和潮湿让我竖起衣领 when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. 当霓虹灯光刺痛我的双眼 that split the night. 划破黑夜 and touched the sound of silence. 触动了寂静之声
