經典電影臺詞:《辛德勒的名單》
什麼是權力
酒過三巡，辛德勒(Shindler)與納粹軍官阿蒙哥特(Amon Goeth)到陽臺閒聊。平常，Goeth經常無緣無故開槍射擊，亂殺無辜，他認爲，隨意殺人就是權力。Shindler卻說，“正義”纔是能讓一個人操生殺大權的原因，寬恕纔是權力。——看看Shindler的原話是怎麼說的：
Goeth: You know, I look at you. I watch you, and you're never drunk. Oh, that''s real control. Control is power. That's power. Is that why they fear us? We have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us. They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. A man commits a crime, he should know better. We have him killed, and feel good about it. Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better.
Shindler: That's not power, though. That's justice. It's different than power. Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.
Goeth: You think that's power?
Shindler: That's what the emperors had. A man stole something; he's brought in before the emperor. He throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy. He knows he's going to die. And the emperor... pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go.
Goeth: I think you are drunk.
Shindler: That's power, Amon.
【重點講解】
look at，固定搭配的詞組，意思是看、觀察。drunk，喝醉了的。Goeth說Shindler從不喝醉，顯示了超強的控制力。進而他發出感慨：控制力就是權力。猶太人怕我們，就是因爲我們有生殺予奪的大權，我們能隨意決定一個猶太人的生死。arbitrarily，武斷地，任意地。
接着Goeth舉了個例子。比如對一個犯了罪的人，如果我們殺了他，我們會感覺快樂;如果是我們親手殺了他，就更有快感了。commit a crime，犯罪，可以當作一個固定搭配來記憶。
Shindler卻提出了不同的見解。他認爲，正義(justice)使我們有權殺死一個犯了罪的.人。真正的權力是，我們有充足的理由去處死他，而我們卻不去這樣做。every，每一個，全部的，引申爲充分的;justification，認爲有理，認爲正當，理由。他解釋說，就像小偷乞求(beg for)寬恕，皇帝原諒(pardon)了他，讓這個毫無價值的人(worthless)繼續苟且偷生，皇帝(emperor)們擁有的就是權力而不是正義。throw oneself on the ground，匍匐在地。
再做些文字外的註釋，以便更透徹地理解這段話。Shindler話外的意思是，“權力”是存在於人與人的關係中的，可以使用，可以執行;“正義”卻不是一個人或一羣人與生俱來的，它是一種參照的標準，是獨立於人之外的。當一個人或一羣人以正義的化身自居的時候，這個世界也就危險了。

1、Amon Goeth: They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. When you work closely with them, like I do, you see this. They have this power. It's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus. They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment because this is as real as typhus. I see it all the time. It's a matter of money? Hmm?
阿蒙·高斯：他們在你身上投射了一道咒符，你知道嗎，猶太人。當你和他們很親近地工作時，就像我，你這麼想。他們有這樣的能量。就像是病毒。有些我的人就被這種病毒感染了。他們應該被同情，而不是懲罰。他們應該接受治療因爲這樣才能像斑疹傷寒症一樣真實。我一直是這麼認爲的。這和金錢有關係嗎?嗯?

6、Amon Goeth: Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.
阿蒙·高斯：今天就是歷史。今天將會被永遠記住。很多年以後年輕人將會對今天充滿好奇。今天就是歷史並且你們就是其中的一部分。六百年前，當他們到處散播對黑死亡的譴責，所謂的大卡西米(Casimir the Great)，告訴猶太人他們應該到克拉科夫去。他們來了。他們帶着財產來到這座城市。他們定居下來。他們掌握權利。他們在商業、科學、教育和藝術上興盛起來。沒有他們帶來的東西就沒有他們的繁榮。六個世紀以來，這兒是猶太人的克拉科夫。到今晚爲止，這六百年將會是謠言。他們從來沒有發生過。今天就是歷史。
