看这部剧时，每次看到小男孩就会很心酸，他是多么渴望学习，识字，最后卡特先生死后小男孩为他朗诵诗歌那里我更是留下泪来。觉得那首诗歌很好，我查了一下，出自 Thomas Gray 的ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCH-YARD（墓园挽歌）诗末所附的墓志铭。
The Epitaph 墓志铭
Here rests his head upon the lap of earth
这里边 高枕地膝 是一位青年
A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown
生平从不曾受知于“富贵”和“名声”
Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth
“知识”可没有轻视他生身的微贱
And Melancholy marked him for her own
“清愁”把他标出来认作宠幸
“Large was his bounty”And his soul sincere
他生性真挚 最乐于慷慨施惠
Heaven did a recompense as largely send
上苍也给了他同样的慷慨的报酬
He gave to Misery all he had
他给了“坎坷”全部的所有
A tear
一滴泪
He gained from Heaven （’twas all he wish'd)
从上苍全得了所求
A friend
一位朋友
No farther seek his merits to disclose
别再想法子表彰他的功绩
Or darw hes frailties from their dread abode
也别再把他的弱点翻出了暗窖
（There they alike in trembling hope repose)
（他们同样在颤抖的希望中休息)
The bosom of his Father and his God
那就是他的天父和上帝的怀抱
