There are websites that collect subtitles of movies. For example, subtitles of Braveheart are available at: https://www.ddzimu.com/download/index.php?id=1294639

However, note that most of them do not record the translator, and most of them are not "official" but produced by volunteer communities called 字幕组

For everyone, the translation in the YouTube video reads as 他们也许能夺走我们的生命，但他们永远夺不走我们的自由! Thank you for the reference.

@user2249675 I can't open the files on ddzimu on the phone. Maybe, I need a special program for this or to do it on a computer. Anyways, thank you for the reference!

@ChristophMark They are srt files intended to be used in a video player. You can open it with a text editor. If it shows gibbish, you may also need to set encoding to GB2312 or GB18030.

@user2249675 I'll try on a computer later and compare the translations.

In fact, I'm mostly interested in a version a Chinese native might recognize as a quotation from the movie, that is the most widespread translation.

@user2249675 The first translation in this comment is more comprehendible for me as a German. I guess I'm happy with this one for my purpose. It also matches the one from YouTube except 但 is replaced with 但是

On the Chinese version of the movie "Braveheart"
# On the Chinese version of the movie "Braveheart"

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-10-26)

I am pretty sure the movie "Braveheart" by Mel Gibson exists in a Chinese language version as there is a [Chinese Wikipedia article](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/%E5%8B%87%E6%95%A2%E7%9A%84%E5%BF%83?wprov=sfla1) about this movie.

I would like to know about the official Chinese translation of a part of the famous freedom speech. If there are different Chinese versions for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, you can provide the translations of all versions but a single version which is known to you counts as an answer as well.

You can see the relevant passage on [Youtube](https://youtu.be/TME0xubdHQc?si=J3d7s0bpYuB-6d4x) in the very end of the clip. In writing, it reads as:

> ...they may take our lives but they'll never take our freedom!
