前不久看了Boston Legal第四季的最后一集，一直很喜欢这个剧集，也是唯一保留的美剧，因为几乎每一次的结案陈词都让人神往。这一集的名字是Patriot Acts, 大体是美国一个小镇因为不满政府，想发出一些自己的声音而以希望脱离联邦政府，谋求独立为名提起诉讼。而Denny Crane为此与Alan Shore的友谊因为双方不同的政治立场而经受考验，作为控辩双方的律师，他们又一次用精彩的演说深深震撼于我。 |

Denny Crane: In your life, growing up, you just took for granted that America would always be. Why not? It's a super power, the strongest country in the whole. In my lifetime with Hitler trying to take over the world and having the means to do so, we went to bed scared at night that America would end. Imagine that feeling, Alan! The tragedy for me here is, you have no idea how deeply offended I am by the idea of a town wanting to secede! ********************************************************************************************************** Denny Crane: And I'm defending my country against a traitor. Alan Shore: This country was started by traitors ********************************************************************************************************** Denny Crane: We don't question our country in a time of war! Alan Shore: Why the hell not? That to me seems like an especially apt time to ask questions. I don't know who the hell came up with the notion that one can't criticize this country and still be patriotic. |

Denny Crane: Thank you, Your Honor. I'll make this short. It's my belief that the best closing arguments are short. There's a lot to criticize about America today, I realize that. The truth be told, I'm embarrassed by the current administration. Who isn't? But whatever one wants to say about George Bush, there can be no question that he loves his country. He once made the simple statement that simply put reflects who and what he is. He said, "You're either with us or against us." Town of Concord comes in to court and says they no longer choose to be with us. They want to abandon America. It is the most unpatriotic act of heresy imaginable. It's treason! Your Honor, if you allow this case to continue a week, a day, an hour, you're saying that abandoning America in a time of war is conceivably acceptable. If you love this nation just one fraction of what George Bush does, or I do, or most Americans do, you cannot find that acceptable. Alan Shore: ……（省略对美国暴行的列举）This is not moral leadership! This is not the conduct of a country that regards the law or respects human rights. And the country I speak of is not Egypt or Saudi Arabia, or even North Korea. It's the United States of America. My country! To Denny. Your country! Denny Crane said to me that I cannot know the experience of lying down at night and facing the idea of losing America. Since September 11th, 2001, I think most of us have laid down and imagined exactly that! But I wonder, "What is it about America that we most fear losing?" and I wonder, "How much of that have we lost already?" The town of Concord--what can it really do? Stage a protest? Have a rally? A parade? Call a press conference? Would that even make the news? But threaten to secede! That would get some attention! And if you look at all the facts here you'll see Concord isn't really seeking to leave America at all. It's America that has left them! And ultimately Concord will not be allowed to secede. We all know that. But if you quash this at the summary judgment stage you will in effect be ruling that their concerns are not even legitimate. And how can any true American conclude that? We stand here today asking you to defend a democracy that our Congress and our President refuse to defend. We're asking you to stand up for the Constitution which every Judge is duty-bound to protect. We ask you to stand up for an America that sixty years ago our soldiers stormed a beach at Normandy to defend. To Denny. This case is personal to you, and it's personal to me, it's personal to everyone in this courtroom. I love this country, Denny. I just… sometimes I just don't recognize it anymore. |
NYC
走在曼哈顿大街上，到处飘扬星条旗，一路看去，趾高气扬地飘扬，即便大雨滂沱的时候，他们潮湿地垂坠在一起，但是日出风起之后，又继续于阳光中舞，张驰之间，是高高在上的。中央车站高垂的国旗，守望无数走过的人群。中央车站纪念911中为拯救他人而付出生命的英雄们的国旗，将他们的名字永远镌刻在红色条文之间，与国同在。少年的时候，写入党申请，说不要问你的国家能为你做些什么，而要问你能为你的国家做些什么。老师说，你怎么能引用资本主义首脑的话语？！于是在复旦法学院迎新大会上作为新生代表讲演的时候，终于可以说，尼克松曾经说过自由的精髓在于人们都有权决定自己的命运。而离开复旦的时候，那次偶然获得却又颗粒无收的面对校方处级以上领导的面试上，我问他们，你们更希望复旦最终成为格式化培养一般知识分子的大工厂，还是能够让少数精英和英雄脱颖而出的地方？从纽约回来，一个哥伦比亚大学毕业的ABC问我，喜欢美国的味道吗？我说那是什么味道？他只说了一个词，也是那部喜欢的电影《勇敢的心》结尾嘶喊出的那个词——Freedom。 |

纽约－联合国
去往联合国的时候，门前有藏独的示威人群，基本都是外国人，除了一两个喇嘛，雪山狮子旗飘扬。从他们身边经过是我唯一的路途，我寂静走过，我不知道我想了些什么，或者我说不清我想了些什么，可是我知道我是愤怒的，我是自责的，我是耻辱的，我是无奈的。给父母打电话的时候，说起，居然一下子泪流满面。这是我第一次亲身经历这样的场面，它完全不同于你在网络上看那些在法国等地为国抗争的留学生的游行示威爱国之举。我想那一刻我可以真切感受到那些留学生感人举动的心灵感召。母亲急切地说，你要注意安全，你不要冲动，你一个女孩子不能跟人家拼。我说我知道，我只是走过去，我一个人无法抗争，可是，你能想象这种感受，如同大街上人家在骂你的父母，你走过他们，却不驳斥，那是一种屈辱。父亲说，抗议有很多种，解决争端的方式也有很多种，我们需要理智有效地，不需要冲动莽撞的……他们说我是天真的孩子。我想起那句喜欢的句子：为什么我总是泪流满面，因为我爱这片土地太深。 |

纽约－联合国
在联合国大厦内参观，配备中文导游，一群陌生的中国人走在一起，基本都是北方人。不喜欢那样的男子，赤脚着黑色的旧皮鞋，休闲短裤，看着很不整洁。提问的时候，他们不是礼貌地探讨和咨询，他们用有些卖弄和挑衅的连环问题不断抛向导游。照相录影的时候他就这么目中无人地站在你的镜头里还呼朋唤友地轮番上场，我一直怒目看着他，他一直不看我，我希望我的眼光可以灼伤他，呵呵，我经常是个得理不饶人的孩子。另一个小小的孩子一路疯狂，爬上护栏，下面是挑空的大堂。导游惊呼，说让大人关注孩子的安全，联合国是个爱护孩子的地方，如果是她的孩子，她作为父母看到一定会吓坏的。她是面容寂静的女子，她说话很客气，可是她话中的意思很不客气，如同她的目光。 |

把我们送下楼，电梯里面的保安问她，今天过得好吗？她说，过会儿再告诉他。我不知道这是不是出于对我们的回避。我不知道她每天会遇到多少中国人，我不知道她看到越来越多的国人是心生自豪还是恨铁不成钢。出电梯，北方人行同陌路般做鸟兽散。我走向她，说，谢谢您的讲解，再见。她微微一笑，說，再见。 |
chinatown
没有时间去往纽约的中国城，有时候会想为什么把China Town翻译成唐人街，抱着唐朝又有何意义，如果抛开约定俗成的叫法，我觉得他们把这称为“华埠”似乎更加妥帖。 |
