Remember the Titans （2000） 光辉岁月（2000年）

One word： Teamwork. New head coach Herman Boone （Denzel Washington） leads a racially[就种族而言] diverse[多种多样的] football team to victory， teaching his black and white students to work past their differences along the way. The film may not motivate[激发] any book learning， but it does promote[促进] equality[平等] and acceptance[接受]—two ideals that are important both in and out of the classroom.

一个词总结：团队合作。新到任的主教练赫尔曼·布恩（丹泽尔·华盛顿饰）带领着一支成员种族各异的橄榄球队走向胜利。在这个过程中，他让黑人学生与白人学生学会了如何越过彼此之间的分歧，通力合作。这部电影也许对课本学习没有什么激励性，但它倡导了平等思想与包容精神——无论在课堂内外，这两种思想都是不可或缺的。

Mr. Hollands Opus （1995） 生命因你动听（1995年）

Glenn Holland （Richard Dreyfuss） is already feeling pretty burnt out[心力交瘁的] when he accepts a job as a high school music teacher in order to spend more time with his wife （Glenne Headly）. But he faces even more disappointment when he starts his new position， as his school doesnt value the fine arts[艺术]. The teacher becomes even more troubled when his son is born deaf， thereby making him unable to share the thing he loves most—music—with his boy. Mr. Hollands Opus is a film that explores how even teachers have learning to do. As it turns out， Holland has been making a difference—as he learns in the films dramatic final orchestral[管弦乐的] moment.

为了腾出更多时间陪伴妻子（格伦妮·海德利饰），格伦·霍兰（理查德·德莱福斯饰）去一所高中当音乐老师，这已经够让他心力交瘁的了。但是当他在新岗位走马上任时，他更加失望，因为这所学校并不重视艺术教育。而让这位老师愁上加愁的是，他的儿子先天失聪，这让他无法将自己最爱的音乐与其分享。《生命因你动听》这部电影告诉人们：即便是教师，也还有很多东西要学。事实证明，霍兰已经（给他人）带来了转变——在电影戏剧性的最后一幕中，他在管弦乐声中终于明白到这一点。

Freedom Writers （2007） 街头日记（2007年）

Young， idealistic[理想主义的] English teacher Erin Gruwell（Hilary Swank） teaches the“unteachable” at a Long Beach high school， showing them the benefits of tolerance[容忍] and expressing their feelings via[经由] journal. Young viewers may be inspired to learn about the Holocaust注1 and keep their own journals as a result—even if their lives arent as dramatic[戏剧性的] as those of Gruwells at-risk[处于危险中的] students.

理想主义的年轻英语老师艾琳·格鲁维尔（希拉里·斯万克饰）在（美国）长滩的一所高中里给一群“孺子不可教”的学生上课。她让孩子们明白到包容忍让有何裨益，并教导他们通过日记来表达自己。年轻的观众也许会因此受到启发，进而了解犹太人大屠杀的情况，或许还会开始写日记呢——即便他们的生活可不像格鲁维尔那些“高危”学生那么危机四伏。

The Miracle Worker （1962） 奇迹创造者（1962年）

This Oscar-winning film isnt just a biopic[名人传记片] about Helen Keller （Patty Duke） and Annie Sullivan（Anne Bancroft）—its a celebration[赞美] of learning itself， showing how a determined teacher can enlighten[启蒙] even the most disadvantaged pupil. It also promotes knowledge about history， the blind/deaf community， and how best to defeat[战胜] a seven-year-old who refuses to eat with a fork.

这部奥斯卡获奖影片不仅仅是海伦·凯勒（帕蒂·杜克饰）与安妮·莎利文（安妮·班克罗夫特饰）的传记片——它本身就是对学习精神的赞歌：即便是天资再差的学生，一位意志坚定的老师都能将其教导成才。这部电影还涉及到历史知识、失聪失明人群，以及打败一个不肯用叉子进餐的七岁小孩的最佳方法。

High School Musical （2006） 歌舞青春（2006年）

The entire gang sing “Were All In This Together” in the ending number[指歌曲]. This message is great for back-to-school fears. Against the backdrop[背景] of the schools musical， new girl Gabrielle （Vanessa Hudgens） and popular jock[（大学）运动员] Troy（Zac Efron） learn how to stay true to themselves and go after their dreams， no matter what others say. The TV-movie hit is the first of three films， and the best of the bunch[一群]. The pop songs are topnotch[拔尖的]， and the story is easy to have fun with.

全体演员在最后一幕合唱《我们欢聚一堂》。这正是返校恐惧症的应对良方。在校内音乐剧这个大背景下，新生加布丽埃勒（凡妮莎·哈金斯饰）与很受欢迎的运动健将特洛伊（扎克·埃夫隆饰）学会了保持真我，追逐梦想——不管他人怎么说。这部大热电视电影是三部曲的第一集，也是整个电影系列里最好的一部。片中有很赞的流行曲，故事情节也很容易让人乐在其中。

October Sky （1999） 十月的天空（1999年）

This is a film that teaches us it only takes one person to inspire us to follow our dreams. In a 1950s coal-mining town， Homer Hickam（Jake Gyllenhaal） sees a whole different future for himself when Sputnik注2 goes into orbit. His family and other townspeople may disapprove[不赞成]， but thanks to one encouraging science teacher（Laura Dern）， Hickam and his friends try to build a rocket that can open the door to college and beyond.

这部电影告诉我们，只需要一个人的鼓舞，就能激励我们追求自己的梦想。在上世纪50年代的一个矿井小镇上，当斯普特尼克人造卫星升上轨道时，霍默·希卡姆（杰克·吉伦哈尔饰）仿佛看到了一个完全不一样的前途。他的家人以及镇上的居民也许并不认同（这种想法），不过多亏了理科老师（劳拉·邓恩饰）的鼓励打气，希卡姆与他的朋友们准备制作一枚火箭，希望此举能为他们敲开大学之门，一直通往未来。
