“I am packing my belongings in the shawl my mother used to wear when she went to the market, and I am going from my Valley, and this time I shall never return.”
“I am leaving behind me my fifty years of memory. Memory…
strange that the mind will forget so much of what only this moment has passed and yet hold ear and bright the memory of what happened years ago, ofmen, and women long since dead.”
“ Yet who shall say what is real and what is not? Can I believe my friends all gone when their voices are yet a glory in my ears? No! I will stand to say no and no again, for they remain a living truth in my mind.
说到“no”的时候,声音是颤抖着的。。。
There is no fence nor hedge around time that is gone. You can go back and have what you like of it, so I can close my eyes on my Valley as it is today, and I see it as it was when I was a boy. Green it was, and possessed of the plenty of the earth. In all Wales, there was none so beautiful.”
最有意思的莫过于当哥哥ivor死于矿井事故后,寡嫂当天生下了一名男婴;一日,嫂子抱着婴儿来到morgan家,对婆婆说:“妈妈,没有他我好寂寞。每天晚上我把他的靴子和衣服准备好,可是清晨起来它们还在那里。“ 过了一会儿,十岁的huw到了嫂子家,问道:
“你能不能让我住在你这里,我把工资给你?“(would you have me to live in this house, and have my wages?)
“ 如果你每天晚上要准备衣服,就让我穿吧。“(if you put clothes every morning, let them be my clothes.)
Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they are fresh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then. (像我父亲那样的人是不会死的。他们仍然和我在一起,在我的记忆中他们仍栩栩如生,仍然爱着并被爱着。)

导演约翰·福特主要拍西部片,但是这部影片真的拍得好,曾经的奥斯卡。父亲最小的儿子后来离开煤矿区的时候,回想他的父亲带给他们的一切,哽咽着说:“how green was my valley then.”
