Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights, we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.
Sam: Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?
Sam: There is some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
我办不到,山姆
我知道,这都是不正常的。实际上,我们甚至本不该在这,但是我们来了。好像在那些伟大的故事中,佛罗多先生。那些真正重大的事,它们充满了黑暗和危险,你常常不想知道结局,因为结局怎么可能是快乐的?这世界怎么可能回到它从前的轨迹,那么多坏事还没发生的时候?
但是最后,这股阴影终究会消失,甚至连黑暗也必定会退散,崭新的一天将会来临,太阳也会闪烁更明亮的光芒。那些伴随着你的故事,它们意味着一些东西,就算你太渺小不明白为什么。但是我想,佛罗多先生,我确实了解了,我现在明白了,故事的角色,有很多的机会转回头,只是他们没有,他们继续向前,因为他们坚持着什么。
我们坚持着什么,山姆?
美好存在于这个世界,佛罗多先生,它值得我们为之奋战
