with the goalposts straight ahead。 but all of a sudden a giant man e flyin into me and slow me down; an then all the nebraska corn jerkoff niggers an big ole dumb white boys in the world start grappin an gougin an stompin on me an i fall down。 damn! we ain';t got but a few yards to go fore winnin the game。 when i git off my back; i see snake got everbody line up already for the last play; on accounta we got no more time…outs。 soon as i git to my place; he calls for the snap an i run out; but he suddenly thowed the ball bout 20 feet over my head; outta bounds on purpose— to stop the clock i guess; which only has 2 or 3 seconts lef on it。 unfortunately tho; snake done got confused about things; i spose he';s thinkin it third down an we got one more play lef; but in fact it were forth down; an so we lose the ball an also; of course; we lose the game。 it sound like somethin i woulda done。 anyhow; it was extra sad for me; cause i kinda figgered jenny curran was probly watchin the game an maybe if i done got the ball and win the game; she try to forgive me for doin what i done to her。 but that were not to be。 coach bryant were mighty unhappy over what happen; but he suck it up an say; 〃well; boys; there';s always nex year。〃 cept for me; that is。 that was not to be either。 。。 阿甘正传(英文版)5 生 after the orange bowl; the atheletic department get my grades for the first term; an it ain';t long before coach bryant send for me to e to his office。 when i get there; he lookin bleak。 〃forrest;〃 he say; 〃i can understan how you flunked remedial english; but it will mystify me to the end of my days how you managed to get an a in something called intermediate light; an then an f in phys…ed class— when you is jus been named the most valuable college back in the southeastern conference!〃 it was a long story that i did not want to bore coach bryant with; but why in hell do i need to know the distance between goalposts on a soccer field anyway? well; coach bryant lookin at me with a terrible sad expression on his face。 〃forrest;〃 he say; 〃i regret awfully havin to tell you this; but you is done flunked out of school; an there is nothin i can do。〃 i jus stood there; twistin my hands; till it suddenly e to me what he is sayin— i ain';t gonna get to play no more football。 i got to leave the university。 maybe i never see any of the other guys no more。 maybe i never see jenny curran no more either。 i got to move outta my basement; an i won';t get to take advanced light nex term; like professor hooks have said i would。 i didn';t realize it; but tears begun in to my eyes。 i ain';t sayin nothin。 i jus standin there; head hangin down。 then coach; he stand up hissef; an e over to me an he put his arm aroun me。 he say; 〃forrest; it okay; son。 when you first e here; i expect somethin like this would happen。 but i tole em then; i said; just give me that boy for one season— that is all i ask。 well; forrest; we has had ourselfs one hell of a season。 that is for sure。 an it certainly weren';t your fault that snake thowed the ball out of bounds on forth down。。。。〃 i look up then; an they is little tears in coach';s eyes; too; an he is lookin at me real hard。 〃forrest;〃 he say; 〃there has never been nobody like you ever played ball at this school; an there won';t be never again。 you was very fine。〃 then coach go over an stand lookin out the winder; an he say; 〃good luck; boy— now git your big dumb ass outta here。〃 an so i had to leave the university。 i gone back an pack up my shit in the basement。 bubba e down an he done brought two beers an give one to me。 i ain';t never drank a beer; but i can see how a feller could acquire a taste for it。 bubba walk with me outside the ape dorm; an lo an behole; who should be standin there but the entire football team。 they is very quiet; an snake; he e up an shake my han an say; 〃forrest; i am very sorry about that pass; okay?〃 an i says; 〃sure snake; okay。〃 an then they all e up; one by one; an shake my han; even ole curtis; who is wearin a body brace from his neck down on accounta bashin down one door too many in the ape dorm。 bubba say he';d hep me carry my shit down to the bus depot; but i say i';d rather go alone。 〃keep in touch;〃 he say。 anyhow; on the way to the bus station; i pass by the student union store; but it ain';t friday night; an jenny curran';s band is not playin; so i say; the hell with it; an catch the bus on home。 it was late at night when the bus got to mobile。 i had not tole my mama what had happened; cause i knew she';d be upset; so i walk on home; but they is a light on up in her room an when i get inside; they she is; crying and bawling jus like i remember。 what had happen; she tell me; is that the united states army has already heard bout me not makin my grades; an that very day a notice done e for me to report to the u。s。 army induction center。 if i had known then what i know now; i would never had done it。 my mama take me down there a few days later。 she has packed me a box lunch in case i get hungry on the way to wherever we is going。 they is about a hundrit guys standin aroun an four or five busses waiting。 a big ole sergeant be hollerin an yellin at everbody; an mama goes up to him an says; 〃i don';t see how you can take my boy— cause he';s a idiot;〃 but the sergeant jus look back at her an say; 〃well; lady; what do you think all these other people is? einsteins?〃 an he gone on back to hollerin an yellin。 pretty soon he yell at me; too; an i git on the bus an away we went。 ever since i lef the nut school people been shoutin at me— coach fellers; coach bryant an the goons; an now the people in the army。 but let me say this: them people in the army yell longer an louder an nastier than anybody else。 they is never happy。 an furthermore; they do not plain that you is dumb or stupid like coaches do— they is more inter
