《Ransom赎金》经典英语演讲致歹徒

The whole world now knows my son, Sean Mullen, was kidnapped for ransom three days ago. This is a recent photograph of him. Sean, if you're watching, we love you. And this [2 million dollars in cash], well this is what waits for the man that took him. This is your ransom. Two million dollars in unmarked bills, just like you wanted. 现在全世界都知道我儿子肖恩.马伦三天前因为勒索被绑架的事了。这是他的近照。肖恩，我们爱你，如果你也在看得话。这里是200万现金，就是绑架我儿子想要勒索的那笔钱。这是绑匪索要的赎金,没有标记的200万美元,正如你所要求的。

But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one dollar of this money, because no ransom will ever be paid for my son. Not one dime. Not one penny. 但你永远都得不到这笔钱,你永远都见不到这其中的一块钱,因为我不会为我的儿子支付赎金,一分钱都不会。

Instead, I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So, congratulations. You've just become a two million dollar lottery ticket, except the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for two million dollars? I don't

think you do. I doubt it. So, wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. 恰恰相反,我要将这笔钱作为你项上人头的奖金,而且是死是活都无所谓。所以祝贺你,你刚刚成为一张200万美元彩票，,而且中奖只是几率明显高得多。你知道谁不想用你换200万美元吗?我认为你不知道,我对此表示怀疑。不管你走到哪做什么,这笔钱将永远追踪你。

And to insure that it does, to keep interest alive, I'm running a full-page add in every major newspaper, every Sunday for as long as it takes. But -- and this is your last chance -- you return my son, alive, uninjured, I'll withdraw the bounty. With any luck, you can simply disappear. Understand? You will never see this money. Not one dollar. 为了确保这笔赏金的吸引力,我会在每周日的所有主要报纸上刊登整版广告。这是你最后的机会,将我的儿子毫发无损的送回来,我会收回赏金,你可以幸运的销声匿迹。明白吗?你永远都见不到这笔钱,一分钱都见不到。

So, you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, God be with you, because nobody else on this earth will be. 所以你还有机会去改邪归正。如果你一意孤行,那么上帝与你同在,因为没人与你为伍。
