中英小说：肖申克的救赎 肖申克, school, people, always, happy

There's a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America, I guess - I'm the guy who can get it for you. Tailor-made cigarettes, a bag of reefer, if you're partial to that, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your son or daughter's high school graduation, or almost anything else ... within reason, that is. It wasn't always that way.
I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty, and I am one of the few people in our happy little family who is willing to own up to what he did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife, who was three years older than I was, and then I fixed the brakes of the Chevrolet coupe her father had given us as a wedding present. It worked out exactly as I had planned, except I hadn't planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the neighbour woman's infant son on the way down Castle Hill and into town. The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes at the edge of the town common, gathering speed. Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue and burst into flames.

　　我猜美国每个州立监狱和联邦监狱里，都有像我这样的一号人物，不论什么东西，我都能为你弄到手。无论是高级香烟或大麻（如果你偏好此道的话），或弄瓶白兰地来庆祝儿子或女儿高中毕业，总之差不多任何东西……我的意思是说，只要在合理范围内，我是有求必应；可是很多情况不一定都合情合理的。
　　我刚满二十岁就来到肖申克监狱。在这个快乐小家庭中，我是少数肯痛痛快快承认自己干了什么的人。我犯了谋杀罪。我为大我三岁的太太投保了一笔数目庞大的寿险，然后在她父亲送我们的结婚礼物——一辆雪佛兰轿车的刹车上动了手脚。一切都正如我的计划，只是没料到她在半路上停下来载了邻居太太和她的小儿子，他们正一起下城堡山进城去。结果刹车失灵，车速越来越快，冲过路边树丛，撞上了一座内战纪念雕像的底座而轰然起火。旁观者说，当时的车速一定超过每小时五十英里。
