《The Sound of Silence》(寂靜之聲)是影片《畢業生》的插曲,也是經典英文歌曲之一。也是我非常喜歡的。
歌詞:
Hello darkness, my old friend,
你好,黑暗,我的老友
I"ve come to talk with you again,
我又來同你談一談
Because a vision softly creeping,
因為一種幻覺悄悄來臨
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
趁我入睡時播下了種子
And the vision that was planted in my brain
那在我的腦海中生長的幻覺
Still remains within the sound of silence.
仍然滯留在寂靜之聲中。
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone,
我孤獨地行走在狹窄的人街道上,
"Neath the halo of a street lamp,I turned my collar to the cold and damp
在路燈的光暈下寒冷潮溼,我翻豎衣領。
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
刺痛我眼睛的霓虹燈劃破夜晚,
That split the night and touched the sound of silence.
觸控到那寂靜之聲。
And in the naked light
在那無遮蔽的燈光裡
I saw ten thousand people, maybe more.
我看見成千上萬的人們,也許更多。
People talking without speaking,
人們交談不用口,
People hearing without listening,
人們傾聽不用口,
People writing songs that voices never share
人們寫出歌曲卻沒有人唱。
And no one dare
沒有人敢去
Disturb the sound of silence.
驚動那寂靜之聲。
Fools, said I,
我說:“你們是傻子,
You do not know
你們不知道
Silence like a cancer grows.
寂靜猶如癌症一般生長。
Hear my words that I might teach you,
聽聽我教你們的語言,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
握住我伸給你們的手臂。“
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
但是我的話如同雨滴般無聲落下,
And echoed in the wells of silence
迴盪在寂靜的深井裡。
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made.
人們朝著他們創造的霓虹燈低頭祈禱。
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming.
而霓虹燈廣告牌卻在一閃一閃發出警告:
And the signs said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
“先知者的語言就在地鐵站牆上,
And tenement halls.
就在貧民的住房中。”
Whisper"d in the sounds of silence.
它還在寂靜之聲中低語。
