70后父母推荐给孩子的十部电影

5. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society)

5.不管别人是怎么跟你说的，我要告诉你的是，语言与思想具有改变世界的力量。电影《死亡诗社》 （Dead Poets Society）

We can bemoan the dominance of the Interwebz and social media in modern life all we want. We can justifiably grieve the fall of the local bookstore. The truth is, though, that ideas and words are still -- maybe even more than ever -- powerful tools for change; they just travel (quickly) in a different format. I want my children to remember the power of their words, especially when they give them over to the Internet. Robin Williams's John Keating was not teaching his students about social media, but I am. The message stays the same. Words and ideas can change the world, and I want mine -- and my children's -- to change it for the better.

我们往往会抱怨互联网和社交媒体占据了生活的全部，我们也会为传统书店的衰落感到痛心。但事实是，文字和思想——也许更甚从前——仍有改变世界的力量；他们只是（飞速）演化成了不同的形式。我希望我的孩子能意识到自己说过的话的重要性，特别是在网上发布言论时。罗宾·威廉姆斯（Robin Williams）扮演的约翰·基廷（John Keating）老师并没有和学生谈及社交媒体的影响力，但是我却和我的孩子说过。但我们所要表达的意思是一样的：文字与思想具有改变世界的力量，我希望我的孩子——和他们的后辈——能利用好这一点，让世界变得更美好。
