Gump: What's the matter, Mama?
Mum: I'm dying, Forrest. Come on in, sit down over here.
Gump: Why are you dying, Mama?
Mum: It's my time. It's just my time. Oh, now...don't you be afraid, sweet heart. Death is just a part of life. Something we're all destined to do. I didn't know it, but I was destined to be your mama. I did the best I could.
Gump: You did good.
Mum: Well...I happen to believe you make your own destiny. You have to do the best with what God gave you.
Gump: What's my destiny, Mama?
Mum: You're going to have to figure that out for yourself. Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're going to get.
重点讲解：
be dying，垂死的、就要死去的，和下面那句“It's my time.”都是妈妈告诉阿甘，自己的时间不多了，快要离开这个世界了。她让甘不要害怕（be not afraid），因为死亡只是从属于生活的一部分，是命中注定的。
be destined to do，注定做某事，动词destine多用它的被动形式，destiny是这个动词的名词形式，意思是，命运。妈妈说，我们都会死亡，就像我命中注定要做你的妈妈，我也不知道为什么，但我尽自己最大的努力去做（do the best）了。所以你也要以上帝赋予你的一切天赋、能力去做到最好，去履行好自己命定的人生。
