According to Hallidayan Systematic functional grammar (SFG) , the purpose of using language can be divided into three broad categories.They are called as three metafunctions of language using.This paper will use the interpersonal function as the theoretical framework to analyze the text.Many researchers apply this theory to various texts analysis, but only a few of them focus on song lyrics, which share the qualities of both spoken and written text.As Hey, Jude is a classical song in history and it was sung at the end of the opening ceremony of London Olympics.The target of this paper is the lyrics of this song.The purpose of the paper is to find out how interpersonal functions in this song are achieved through mood, modality and person system.
"Hey Jude"is a song of the English rock band The Beatles, written by one of the member Paul McCartney.He wrote this as"Hey Jules, "a song meant to comfort another member John Lennon's son Julian, as his parents were getting a divorce.Paul McCartney wanted to encourage him to face the reality bravely.But later, he changed the name Jules to Jude because it was more instinct.The first sentence of the song"Hey, Jude, don't make it bad"was a verbal sentence Paul said to the boy when he comforted him.The song was released in 1968, the single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best songs.As it's a classical song, Paul McCartney closed the London Olympics opening ceremony leading the crowd in a mass sing-a-long of this song When everyone sung along with Paul, it showed that everyone was involved in the game, which is just one spirit of the Olympic Games.
2 Theoretical Framework
2.1 The concept of interpersonal metafunction
In 1960, Halliday presented us his theory of systemic-functional grammar, the theory covers both semantic and functional aspects.Semantics connects context and lexical grammar, so it is regarded as the core in this theory.Besides, there are three functional components in this semantic system:ideational function, interpersonal function and textual function.Linguists call them as the"three metafunctions"of language.These three metafunctions are closely related to the meanings expressed by the speakers in the texts.As a tool to communicate with other people, language is used to gain certain social roles and relationship with people This kind of function of language is known as interpersonal function, through which speakers express their own feelings and attitude towards something.Moreover, they also can influence the feelings and attitude of others.According to Eggins (Eggins, 200412) , interpersonal meaning are meaning about roule relationships with other people and people’s attitudes to each other.
2.2 Aspects of interpersonal function
At clause level, the interpersonal element is represented by mood and modality, which means the selection of a particular role by the speaker in the speech situation, and the expression of his judgements and predictions (Halliday, 1973:316) .In addition, the interpersonal function can also be realied through person system, both as prounoun and as possessive.In fact, there are several aspects in interpersonal function, this paper will only focus on three aspects—mood, modality and person prououn.This part will present these three aspects.
In line with Thompson, the subject and the finite constitude one component of a clause which is called the mood (Thompson, 2000:41) .Different mood of a clause can be demonstrated by different order of the subject and the finite.In general, most languages possess three or four speech function prototypes, they are statement, question, offer and command (Thompson, 2000:40) .These three or four speech functions are closely related to some particular grammatical structures.For instance, statements are delivered by declarative clauses;questions are delivered by interrogative clauses;commands are delivered by imperative clauses.Declarative clauses, interrogative clauses and imperative clauses are three main ways to realize the interpersonal metafunction in the mood system of the clauses.
Halliday regards modality as the area of meaning that lies between yes and no intermediate ground between positive and negative polarity (Halliday, 2000) .He also distinguishes two subcategories of modality, they are modalization and modulation.According to his explanation, modalization is the expression of the speaker's attitude towards what he or she is saying.It is the way that the speaker conveys a judgment about the likelihood, certainty or frequency of something (Eggins, 2004:172) .
There are mainly two ways of role-projecting:naming and the use of personal pronouns.Personal pronouns usually reveal interpersonal relationship between or among the individuals involved in interaction.Speakers or writers can choose different personal pronouns to indicate their attitudes and relationships to readers in their texts, presenting statements subjectively, interactively, or objectively (Zhang, 2006:112) .
3 Analysis
3.1 Mood system in the song
There are three types of mood in English:declarative, interrogative and imperative.From the analyzing result of the song Hey, jude, it indicates that the imperative mood makes up the major part and in a dominant position in the song lyrics.Declarative and interrogative are follwoing behind.It’s shown in the following table.
From the above table we can see that this song is composed of 26 clauses, among which imperative clauses take up 54%, declarative clauses take up 42%and interrogative clause only take up 4%.
3.1.1 Interpersonal meaning of declarative mood
Most of the clauses in the lyrics are declaratives, whoes unmarked function is to provide information.The proportions indicate that the song writer was trying his best to encourage listeners by describing his attitude rather than ask questions.He just gave information directly to inspire the boy, to help him go out from the shadow of the divorce of his parents.And all these information provided by the songwriter are very inspiring.
However, as one type of literary discourse, lyrics are not just information-giver.They also function as a whole to provide the audience with goods and serices.For example, they can provide the audience with something to appreciate:the language can portary a picture which can fulfill the emotional needs of the audience.Besides asking the audience to appreciate and empathize, they go further to influence the recipients’iedology and social values.For instance, "For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder".In this part the songwriter tells listeners that the one who wants to behave cool would make his world worse on the contrary.He is using his pen to perfectly explain that you don't need to carry all the terrible things on your shoulder, under such situation, what you need is courage and enthusiasm but not to behave indifferently.In general, the lyrics is a carrier of the audience’s emotion, and mora education.
3.1.2 Interpersonal meaning of imperative mood
As Roger and Kress refered to, imperative sentences are formed by various commands, then a sense of authority will directly come from the power of the speaker (Hodge&Kress1993) .As the function of imperative is not to discuss or consult but to demand people do something.By using a mass of imperatives in the song, the writer trys to influence listeners’behavior Besides, the use of imperatives can arouse the attention of the audience, because they create a sense of dialogue.For instance the clause"remember to let her into your heart", the writer uses the structure"remember to..."three times, he is expecting the boy to take the suggestion.By taking up a role of demand, the narrator assigns a corresponding role for audience.Though the narrator does not talk to the audience face to face, the audience's emotions are aroused.
3.1.3 Interpersonal meaning of interrogative mood
Only one interrogative is found in this song, that is"Don't you know that it's just you...?".This interrogative clause reflects that the writer want to enlighten the listener and inspire them in thinking about the question he asks.In this way, listeners are involved, however, the writer does not expect them to answer the question, but intends to attract their attention and to get them think about the question as the writer has already gave the answer.Listeners don’t need to answer"yes"or"no"to the question he asked as the question already has the answer.It is just used to give the listener much chance to think about whether it is true or not.The answer of this question is obviously"yes, it is myself", but the narrator also used a question form.Because the writer wants to let the boy know he is the best and he can do everthing by himself.
3.2 Modality system in the song
In the song, modalization is realized through modal operators.According to Halliday, modal operators can be used to express the validity of speaker's proposal (Halliday, 2000) .He classified modal operators into three classes:the low, median and high degrees of mood, all of them can be used to realize interpersonal meanings.Altogether, three modal operators are used in this lyric, “can”, “will”and“need”.All these three modal operators are postitive ones, can is of the low degree, will is of the median degree and need is of the high degree.
The writer make use of positive modal operators to show the boy his positive believes and attitude towards life.Besides, the writer uses more low positive modal operators than high positive ones, as the word“can”appeared 2 times but“will”and“need”just appeared for one time, which indicates that the writer wants to make his idea more acceptable in the interact process with the listener.Nevertheless, he still uses the positive high modal operator“need”to express his sronger emotion towards the boy's sorrow.
According to Thompson, the modal operator“can”expresses the speaker’s permission which can be regarded as the lowest level of pressure and let others to choose and decide whether to take the action or to believe the proposal or not (Thompson, 2000) .It helps to make the texts more negotiable and acceptable.According to Hallidy (2000:359) , there is another type of meaning for“can”:the ability.For example, the clause"then you can strart to make it better", the can here means the ability of the boy, the author insists that the boy is capable of making it well.By using the operator“will”, the song writer shows his confirmation and his confidence to make the listener believe what he says in the lyrics.
3.3 Person system in the song
From the table we can see clearly that the writer uses second-person pronouns and third-person pronouns most.The pronoun you is used 14 times, which occupies the highest proportion.It is because that you can be regarded as the most interactive form among personal pronouns, since it explicitly acknowledges the presence of the reader.The songwriter uses the name of the boy to arouse his attention at the beginning of the song, then, many you are used in the lyrics.Obviously, the pronoun you in this song refers to the boy Jude.As Li Zhanzhi (2002:154said, though you does not address the audience, the audience still can share this private conversation between the author and the person addressed.For instance, in the clause"then you can start to make it better", you is directed to the boy, creating the sense that the song writer is just talking to a friend, shortening the distance between them.Then, it would be easier for the boy to take the writer's words and become optimistic.Also, the audience of this song can treat this you as everyone of them.In this case, they stand in the writer's shoes and are in agreement with his opinion, such as the opinion that"the movement you need is on your shoulder".
4 Discussion
The present study investigates how interpersonal functions in this song are achieved through mood, modality and person system.In general, we found that imperative clauses are most frequently used in this song lyrics, followed by declarative and interrogative.The modality system states clearly that positive value modal operators are used more often.In person system, the use of the name Jude and person pronouns shortens the distance between the song writer and the listener.As has been noted, the function of this song is to encourage those who are going through hard times.By analyzing the three aspects of the interpersonal system, the song writer successfully achieved the purpose of writing the song.
As the analysis of song lyric discourse is still at its beginning stage, this paper is a tentative study to reveal the interpersonal meaning realized in one particular song.This paper is of some significance for future research in this field, and for the application of SFG to the analysis of lyrics.However, there are some limitations in this paper.The interpersonal function includes plenty of aspects.The present study is not able to cover all facets of interpersonal meaning.Resources such as tense, evaluation, and attitude are not covered in this study.Therefore, the analysis is only an eye to this topic.
Suggestions for future research would be to expand the analysis to more types of song lyrics or even to all types of song lyrics.Furthermore, even if the focus of a study is only on one kind of songs, theories used to analyze them can also be different.Theories from the textual aspect such as theme, rhyme, transitivity from the ideational perspective and coherence can also be used for further study on the features of English song lyrics.
5 Conclusion
To conclude, different mood types contribute to the realization of interpersonal meaning in this song.Declarative clauses provide some inspiring information for the audience.Imperatives and interrogatives create a sense of dialogue, arousing listeners'attention and evoking their thinking.Positive modal operators are used to encourage the audience to be optimistic.The use of the name of the boy helps to shorten the distance between the writer and the addressee.Also, the second person pronouns give the audience the idea that the narrator is talking to them.By using

【关键词】英文歌词 英文歌曲 翻译原则
随着世界文化交流的不断发展,英文歌曲翻译将音乐、英语、文化三者紧密结合,其必要性和重要性已不言而喻,在艺术界和翻译界受到了广泛关注。好的英文歌词译作需要遵循一定的翻译原则和方法,只有严格遵循这些原则和方法,译者才能呈现出更高质量的译作。
一、英文歌曲歌词的翻译原则
虽然对于不同的译者来说,一首英文歌曲的歌词可采用不同的翻译原则,在翻译中的可变因素也很多,需要根据具体情况进行适当的调整。但即便如此,英文歌曲歌词的翻译仍然有固定的原则可循,主要分为以下四点:
1.忠实原作、没有译痕。综合严复及刘重德先生的观点,文学翻译应遵循“信、达、切”的原则,歌词作为文学的一部分,理应遵循这些原则,其中,“信”是指“忠实”,译文首先需要忠于原文,故“信”是文学翻译的最基本原则,歌词的翻译也是如此。这就要求译者在翻译之前必须对歌曲创作的形式和内容进行研究,掌握歌曲创作的时代、背景、社会、文化等要素,正确传递歌词含义,最大限度体现出忠实原作的风格、意境和表现方法,力求翻译真实可信,准确到位,不仅要表现原作字面意义的忠实,而且还要表现在忠实于字面意义下所蕴含的深层含义、语境、意象和作者的创作意图、风格及世界观等,要将原作中原汁原味的内容通过转码的方式更多的呈现给听众。例如《Happy Birthday to You》(《祝你生日快乐》)中,整首歌不同的旋律却只有一句话——祝你生日快乐,这首歌歌词最简单,但是最“忠实原文且没有译痕”。
2.通顺自然,优美动听。这一点与“达”相符合,是指译文要通顺自然,在译文表达上要尽量化解英汉语言文化障碍,要求译者在对歌词进行翻译时充分考虑原曲词汇的排列顺序,词藻风格的选取,节奏和音域的运用等特点,必要时可以“以歌译歌”,在词汇、句式和风格方面下功夫,使翻译后的歌词准确自然,无违和感。具体地说,也就是要符合歌曲的节奏,韵律,但需要注意翻译时不能单纯的原曲对应、英汉死译而导致译词和节奏变化不协调,使之听上去生硬晦涩无美感。歌词作为诗歌的一个分支,应具有诗歌一般的优雅和美感,这种美不仅要体现在歌词词藻和意境的优美上,还应该体现在旋律与歌词相配合的和谐之美上,使译文进入雅境,要使译文读者真切地感受到原作的意境美、音律美、自然美、语言美、哲思美。同时,译文一定要在节奏、音韵、旋律等要素方面充分达到原歌词之配于原歌曲。大家熟知的泰坦尼克号主题曲《My Heart Will Go on》(《我心永恒》)便是一个很好的译例,译文歌词优雅,意境优美,歌词和旋律相得益彰,充分表达了原作的独特韵味并拨动听众心弦从而产生共鸣:
That is hour I know you go on 你是依旧深情相许
Far across the distance and spaces between us 穿过那早已逝去的岁月
You have come to show you go on 向我诉说永远的爱 ……
3.切合原文风格。这是“切”的观点,要求我们在翻译过程中,在再创原文风格上,紧密结合原文人物的个性化语言,最佳地切合原文本身的创作风格。作者的创作风格和音乐风格受各种音乐要素——曲调、节奏、音色、力度、和声、织体和曲式等富有个性的结合方式的影响,同时受时代、民族、流派、大环境、大区域甚至作者本身固有的鲜明个性的影响,这些因素都不能忽略,要求译者平时注重提高自身的音乐鉴赏力。译文用语要审时度势,最大限度遵循原创作曲风格,搞错了原文风格,就不叫译作,叫改编。例如,美国乡村音乐特点是曲调简单,节奏平稳,带有叙事性,乡土气息浓厚,所以翻译时既要考虑译品能表现美国白人民族的感情与习尚,又要译出他们独特的名族气质与风情格调并体现浓郁的地域色彩。来自John Denver《Take Me Home Country Road》(《乡村路带我回家》),译品具有较浓的乡土气息,亲切热情,且不失流行元素,家乡的思念之情淋漓尽致:
Almost heaven West Virginia 简直是天堂啊
Blue Ridge Mountain Shenandoah River 兰岭山,谢纳多阿河
Life is old there 那里的生命年代久远
Older than the tree 比树木古老
Younger than the mountains 比群山年轻
Growing like a breeze 象和风一样慢慢生长
4.可唱性强。这是对英文歌曲歌词译者的最高要求,译者需按照四项基本翻译原则进行翻译,处理好译文“达意”和“配乐”之间的关系,努力将译文的形、音、意相结合,在忠实原作的基础上,使译文朗朗上口,优美押韵,可唱性强,达到词与谱的完美结合。如果只做到“词”的翻译,而做不到“歌”的翻译,译文不能“入歌”,就无法配曲歌唱,译文歌词再忠实原作、再优美华丽,如果不能唱,不能为译文歌手再度创作发挥作用,那么它充其量是“歌词大意”罢了。所以,翻译出的歌词不仅应该具有文学性,还应具有音乐性。一般情况下,词与谱的配合应包括两个方面:一是词与音符的配合,尽量做到一个汉字与英语单词的一个音节相对应,如果一个音符下有多个汉字,就很有可能超出节拍限制,过多这样的情况发生,就会破坏译文的语气,不利于歌唱,此情况应结合“可译”或“可不译”的互补理论处理,而且译文要将实词或者需要强调的词对应到英文的重音节上,把虚词或不重要的词放在非重音上;二是词与曲谱所表现的情绪的配合,曲调伤感宜选用闭口或撮口呼词,曲调欢快高亢,则宜选用开口呼的词。经典歌曲《Yesterday Once More》(《昨日重现》)脍炙人口,译文“入歌”,具有较强的“音乐性”,“词”和“谱”完美结合、“达意”与“配乐”处理得当,可唱性强。
二、结语
英文歌曲翻译受到越来越多关注,其意义和重要性也毋庸置疑,在这样的背景下,对于译者翻译的质量和水平的要求也越来越高。译者需要严格遵循英文歌曲翻译的主要原则,力求译文的忠实,自然,紧切,可唱。由此可见,要想译出较好的英汉歌曲作品,译者需要全面掌握翻译和音乐知识,缺一不可,真切希望能有更多的翻译工作者和诸多经验前辈给予歌曲翻译更多关注,为英文歌曲翻译构建较为完整的译学体系并为促进中西世界文化交流添砖加瓦。

[关键词]《功夫熊猫》英文台词 赏析
美国动画片《功夫熊猫》讲述了一个叫阿宝(Po)的熊猫凭着对武功的痴迷。经过浣熊师傅的因材施教,最后打败了邪恶的雪豹太郎(Tai Lung),成为了真正的龙武士。这部电影采用寓教于乐的方式传递给我们许多教育方面的道理,里面的台词。妙语连珠。充满了人生哲理。为了使观众能够体味和享受该电影在塑造人物时语言的独特魅力。本文对影片中的英文经典台词进行赏析。
在剧中,当乌龟大师告诉浣熊师父他有预感太郎要回来了的消息时,浣熊师父说:“lt is impossible,He is in prison,”(不可能,它在监狱里面呢。)乌龟大师说了这样一句话:“Nothing js impossible,”(没有什么不可能。)在这个句子中,nothing和impossible都是否定词,双重否定相当于加强肯定。Nothing is impossible,也就意味着说凡事皆有可能。众所周知,一句响亮的口号,在运动场能激发运动员的士气,而与运动员息息相关的运动用品,更需要象征品牌形象的口号将商品与运动结合,德国知名运动品牌adidas因此喊出Nothing is impossible,的响亮口号,希望以“没有不可能”的精神,传递adidas的品牌精神。
确实没有什么不可能,所以凡事不到最后一刻,不要轻言放弃。在欧洲杯四分之一决赛中,克罗地亚和土耳其90分钟互交白卷。加时赛进行到第118分钟,克罗地亚依靠克拉什尼奇的进球领先,但在第121分钟,土耳其在最后一秒由塞米赫追平比分,点球决战中,土耳其以3:1获胜,从而以总比分4:2淘汰克罗地亚。将在半决赛中对阵德国。小组赛第二战,面对拼死一胜的东道主瑞士,土耳其上半场0:1落后,下半场追平比分后,最后一分钟,土耳其2:1逆转。将东道主淘汰出局:小组赛最后一场,土耳其必须取胜捷克才能晋级,如果战平则要进行点球决战,但第73分钟时,土耳其还以0:2落后,第74分钟,图兰进球将比分改写为1:2。第87分钟。有世界第一门将之称的捷克门将切赫出现了不可思议的低级失误,尼哈特补射空门得手,2:2。两分钟后,尼哈特反越位破门,将比分改写为3:2。三场比赛连续三次上演最后时刻的大逆转,土耳其创造的奇迹可谓举世无双,他们的顽强意志换来的战果强烈说明,这世界任何事情都有可能发生。体育比赛如此,其他事情也是如此。
在影片中当浣熊师父命令属下去监禁太郎的地方,让他们加倍严守,不能让太郎跑出来时。乌龟大师说:“One often meets itsdestiny On the road he takes ti avoid it,”(试图阻止注定的命运。经常会适得其反。)是祸躲不过,现实中我们会遇到各种各样的困难和厄运,这些困难常常是注定会出现的,非人为力量可以避免,明智的做法是勇敢地去面对困难、去战胜厄运。
当浣熊师父说:“在太郎回到村庄之前我们必须提前做好准备,它会……”乌龟大师说道:“Your mind is like this water myend,When it is agitated,it becomesdifficult to see,But if you allow it to settlethe answer becomes clear”(你的想法就像这水面,我的朋友,当它摇曳时,很难看清楚,但是如果你顺其自然归于平静,答案自会清晰见底。)正可谓:心如惊澜。神思混沌:心若止水,茅塞顿开。
在玉石殿的比武大会上熊猫阿宝被乌龟大师指任为龙武士后,浣熊师父感到既意外又失望,他说这是个意外。乌龟大师回答道:“There are no accidents”(世上没有意外。)这也是电子书《让你心想事成的阿拉丁神灯》里的经典名言。万事万物都有其存在和消亡的原因。有因,必有果。有果,必有因。没有一个绝对的因,也没有一个绝对的果。世界上的万事万物,是无数的因果连续和依存的关系,他们组织成为一个极其错综复杂的罗网,相互交错。乌龟大师说没有意外。其实就是这个意思。经中说:“要知前世因,今生受者是,要知未来果,今生作者是。”现在的一切,其实早已注定了!将来的一切,你现在正在铸造。没有什么事情是偶然发生的,每天的一点一滴正是铸就人生的基石。
当熊猫阿宝受到浣熊师父和五将的歧视,对能否成为真正的龙武士缺乏信心想要放弃的时候,乌龟大师对熊猫阿宝说了这样的话:“Ouit,don't quit,Noodles,don't noodles”(放弃,别放弃:面条,别面条。)乌龟大师的意思是阿宝应该留下练功,而不是回去做面条。遇到困难不能轻言放弃。为了鼓励阿宝他接着又说:“Yesterday is a historyTomorrow is a mystery But today js a giftThat is why it is called present,”(过去是一段历史,未来是一个谜团,现在才是上天的礼物。所以今天才是present。)这句话巧妙运用一语双关的妙喻:在英语里,present既可以指“礼物”。也可以指“现在”、“当下”,人们总在寻觅有形的“礼物”,却往往忽略了自己早已拥有的礼物——无形的“此时此刻”——才是最珍贵的。
其实这句台词出自约翰逊博士的《礼物》一书,那本书讲述了一个追寻“礼物”的故事,也是一个年轻人的成长历程。从一位睿智的老人那里,年轻人听说了一份神秘的“礼物”,据说那是每个人能得到的最好的礼物——拥有它就会变得更快乐、更成功。但只能靠自己去找到它。年轻人用尽方法,四处探寻,但“礼物”始终没有出现。直到有一天。他突然领悟了“礼物”的寓意:“礼物”就在我们的身边——学会把握此刻,就能过上更加成功、更加幸福的生活。
这句台词所蕴含的意义和我国清代钱鹤滩的《明日歌》、明代大学士文嘉的《今日》诗异曲同工。《明日歌》日:“明日复明日,明日何其多。我生待明日,万事成蹉跎。世人苦被明日累,春去秋来老将至。朝看水东流,暮看日西坠。百年明日能几何,请君听我明日歌《今日》诗曰“今日复今日,今日何其少,今日又不为,此事何时了。人生百年几今日,
今日不为真可惜,若言姑待明朝至,明朝又有明朝事。为君聊赋《今日》诗,努力请从今日始。”时间的一维性特点决定了昨日永远静立不动且不可改变,明日近在眼前却又咫尺天涯,我们所能把握的惟有今日,惟有现在。这句台词教导人们要学会把握此时此刻,并从过去、现在和未来的高度来审视自己。人们只要学会了把握此刻。就能够使生活和工作都变得更快乐更高效。其实,把握此刻就正是上帝送给大家的“礼物”。“当你想过得更快乐更高效的时候”——“把握此刻”、“当你想让现在比过去更好的时候”——“向过去学习”、“当你想让将来比现在更好的时候”——。着手创造将来”。我们的目标应该取决于我们的行动,当我们想过得更快乐更高效。这个时候就要把握此刻。当我们想让现在比过去好。这个时候就要向过去学习。当我们想让将来比现在好。这个时候就要着手创造将来。
当浣熊师父得知太郎已经从监狱逃出。正在来得路上时。他急忙告知乌龟大师,他说有一个坏消息。大师说:“No news aregood or bad。”(只是消息,没有好或坏。)《=道德经·五十八章》云:祸兮福所倚,福兮祸所伏。究竟是灾祸呢还是幸福,谁能知道呢?它们并没有确定的标准。正可以忽然转变为邪的,善也可以忽然转变为恶的。宇宙间的一切事物都在运动变化中。因此没有好。也没有坏。存在的就是合理的。
师父不知道应该怎样去接受熊猫作为龙武士的现实,当然更无法去爱它、教育它。而这一切的根源只有一个,就是缺乏信任,所以。乌龟大师一再地要求宗师一定要相信熊猫。“You just need co believe,”(你一定要相信。)。宗师在接受了乌龟大师的劝诫之后,终于在信任的基础上找到了如何教育和爱护熊猫的方法,这足可见信任对于人际关系中是多么重要。无论做什么事。坚定的信心总是很重要的。灾难面前也好。理想面前也好。我们总是会碰到各种各样的困难。我们必须要相信我们自己,相信我们的朋友,相信我们的国家。
影片中最让人难忘的台词是当鸭爸爸告诉阿宝面汤的秘密时所说的话:“Thesecret ingredient of my secret ingredientsoup is…nothing,To make somethingspecial,you just have to believe it’sspecial,”(我私家汤的绝密食材,就是……什么都没有。认为它特别,它就特别了。)这使阿宝明白了神龙秘籍的真谛。面汤的秘密在于什么也不放。神龙秘籍的秘密在于没有秘密。其中道出的是道教的真谛:“致虚极。守静笃”,“道恒无为,而无不为”。没有秘密,就是最大的秘密。
