请英语大神帮忙翻译一下英文，请不要用翻译软件，支持手工翻译，谢谢

其实所谓间接为他而死的两人，后者对他的触动更大，至于哪股力量是向上的，这是难以说清的。妻子的死让他生活有些绝望，他甘愿放弃自由去思寻人生的意义；汤姆的死在他19年监狱生活的反省和重生之后，往他往生和自由的方向推了一把。他本是懂得希望的——19年来他一直在用鹰嘴锤凿穿牢墙；然而他懂得，逆来顺受只能是一时之屈，如若把行尸走肉坦然接受去填补自己的余生，断送了自己所有生活的可能性，那么这个人心的生命大势已去，那么活十年，二十年，在监狱，在外面，都没有什么区别了。

Among the two people who died because of him, the latter touched him more. It's hard to tell which power is positive. The death of his wife caused desperation which led him to give up freedom and started to consider the meaning of life. While the death of tome, after 19 years of self-reflection and epiphany in prison, pushed hime towards freedom. He used to understand hope. For he kept chiselling through the prison wall with a garbanzo hammer(虽然电影我看过，但这个我真心记不得叫什么了，现查的，不知对否). Yet he also understood that swallowing the insult is just temporary. If a man simply accepts the rest of his life living like a walking dead, eliminate all the possibilities. Then this man would have lost his soul, And 10 years or 20 years, inside or outside of the prison wouldn't make any difference.
