談到傾聽，我想到搶救雷恩大兵的一段電影對白，我ㄧ直玩味再三，藉此拋磚引玉，為忠於原著，引用英文原文，中文翻的不好，還請學長們海涵和指正：
4 t' I% d5 ?! i% XPrivate Jackson: Sir... I have an opinion on this matter.(長官，我對這件事<指搶救雷恩大兵>有不一樣的想法)
# Y& Y5 M% k7 t+ ]* a1 G+ kCaptain Miller: Well, by all means, share it with the squad. (你當然可以和弟兄們分享你的想法。)9 t! x& W, ^ S# o3 n. `( N
Private Jackson: Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources. (長官，按照我的想法，這個任務是寶貴軍事資源的錯置。)
5 r9 j+ j0 }9 z3 M8 QCaptain Miller: Yeah. Go on. (是的，繼續講。)- X7 {' l, g1 L5 g: X' H
Private Jackson: Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare. (長官，就我而言，上帝給了我特別的天賦，我是一個絕佳的戰爭工具。)
1 U# H5 O% t2 r# i; Z1 KCaptain Miller: Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson. (Reiben，你注意聽，這就是訴苦，Jackson，繼續講。)3 r# L3 B6 F$ u& f5 `" \% w' |
Private Jackson: Well, what I mean by that, sir, is... if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, war's over. Amen. (長官，我的意思是，假如你把我放到希特勒附近一哩處的任何地點，只要在清楚視線下，長官，可以打包囉，也就是戰爭結束了，阿門。)3 X+ u3 }- z1 s" J, _7 q6 {
Private Reiben: Oh, that's brilliant, bumpkin. Hey, so, Captain, what about you? I mean, you don't gripe at all? (噢，鄉巴佬，那太棒了，喂，上尉，那你呢，我的意思是你都不會訴苦嗎?)
6 y) b+ g2 b* L: J5 s! h) dCaptain Miller: I don't gripe to *you*, Reiben. I'm a captain. There's a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on, and so on. I don't gripe to you. I don't gripe in front of you. You should know that as a Ranger. (Reiben，我不會向你訴苦，我是上尉，有指揮體系在，訴苦是往上級，而不是往下層，一向如此啊，你向我訴苦，我再向我的上級長官訴苦，以此類推上去，我不會向你訴苦，也不會在你面前訴苦，身為突擊隊員，你應該了解這點。)
$ d2 B$ T- s1 M; S! t: JPrivate Reiben: I'm sorry, sir, but uh... let's say you weren't a captain, or maybe I was a major. What would you say then? (對不起，長官，但假如你不是上尉，而我是少校時，你又將會怎們說。)7 P6 Q" ]: Q" ^: ?+ ~3 T9 g L
Captain Miller: Well, in that case... I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Reiben - to ease her suffering." (在這種情況下，我會說：「長官，這是一個很棒的任務，任務目標非常有價值，值得盡我所能去完成，而且，我對Private James Ryan的母親感到最深的哀慟，我將付出我和弟兄們的生命，特別是Reiben的命，去減輕她的痛苦。」)
