    Winter

    Winter
     
    When it is cold outside
    People would make a fire
    When it is cold outside
    We stay in day and night
    But when it is cold inside
    I often wonder why
    Why I simply cannot find
    anything to make me smile
    When it is frozen inside
    I often wonder why
    Why I simply cannot find
    anything to make me smile
     
    Some say we drink wild
    Till the wine cellar gets dry
    Some say in life we fight
    Till the very end of time
    Some say one must never lie
    Some say men must not cry
    Some say whatever we've come by
    In the end, we all die
    Some say one must never lie
    Some say men must not cry
    Some say whatever we've come by
    In the end, we all die
     
    Some are filled with pride,
    Some are sick and tired

    我是真的爱你

    曾经自己

    像浮萍一样无依

    对爱莫名的恐惧

    但是天让我遇见了你

     

    初初见你

    人群中如此美丽

    你仿佛有一种魔力

    那一刻我竟然无法言语

     

    从此为爱受委屈

    不能再躲避

    于是你成为我生命中最美的记忆

     

    让我随你去

    让我随你去

    让我在这一路上为你挡风遮雨

    我想我是真的爱你

    我是真的爱你

     

    我全心全意

    等待着你说愿意
    也许是我太心急

    竟然没发现你眼里的犹豫

    只是你又何必

    狠心将一切都抹去
    你绝情飘然远离

    连道别的话也没有一句

    请你让我随你去

    让我随你去
    我愿陪在你的身边为你挡风遮雨

    让我随你去

    让我随你去
    我愿陪在你的身旁等你回心转意

    我是真的爱你
    (我想我是真的爱你)
    我是真的爱你 我是真的爱你

    I was lonely

    As lonely as one can be

    The world seemed so scary

    Till the day that you came to me

     

    Oh, the way you speak

    You swept me off my feet

    Is it magic or it's just me

    Suddenly I was a new born baby

     

    You're in every meal I eat

    every book I read

    You're the one who makes me sad one who makes me happy

     

    Every day I live

    Every time I breath

    Want to give you everything till there's nothing in me

     

    Guess that's the way it should be

    That's the way it should be

     

    You're a fairy

    You were sent here just to tease me

    It was never meant to be

    Suddenly I knew my destiny

     

    To stay nobody

    To hold you in my memory

    To let go and set you free

    To be grateful till I rest in peace

     

    You're in every meal I eat

    every book I read

    You're the one who makes me humble one who grants me glory

     

    Everyday I live

    Everytime I breath

    Want to give you everything till there's nothing in me

     

    Guess that's the way it should be

    That's the way it should be

    春日的随笔

        今早去觅食,出门时看到两个孩子蜷缩在一根巨大的塑料管中,塑料管因为这额外的重量开始前后摇摆起来,如果不考虑到地方有点挤,还真可算是摇椅般的惬意。
        出门大概花了半小时,回来时发现两个孩子还坐在那里享受,心中不由产生一番羡慕,回忆起了自己的童年。
        童年的我,也是个悠哉游哉的小孩,在自行车棚里找到一根大铁杠就能在上面坐上半天,锻炼平衡能力,回家时才发现上面的绿漆没干透..., 也有在小区绿化带挖洞的经历,一下午挖出的洞几乎可以有我个头那么深,颇有成就感,当然被执勤的伯伯看到就麻烦了..., 有时会和别的小朋友一起爬一级一级的高墙,然后只要你敢从那个高度跳下来,那个高度就是自己的地盘,玩这个占山头的游戏结果往往是手脚摔得又青又肿回家,还不敢吱声,不过心中却有一份山大王的自豪。周末午后的记忆永远是蓝蓝的天,泥土的清香还有被家长叫回家时的那份不甘。
        孩子的游戏往往是没有什么逻辑的,在成人的眼里,可能是简单重复地浪费自己的体力,也可能是用自己的衣服替环卫工人分担工作, 的确,我也很难理解他们为什么这么开心了,但是他们欢笑的声音和享受的神情却是真实的。也许在他们的眼里,自然界的死物,树木,云彩,或是地上的一根大管子也都是有灵魂的,加上些许的想象,树木成了自己的玩伴,木桩子成了骑士的坐骑,变电站成了拯救世界的基地。
        庆幸自己还记得自己儿时的些许梦想,但那份悠然自得的感觉,怕是一去不复返了...

    革命之路(影评)

        
         这是部挺有卖点的片子, 泰坦尼克的男女主角再次聚首, 就钩起我好奇心了.
    我们这代人, 应该都记得那句"You jump, I jump," 当然, 我这样的记得更清楚的一句是:"I want you to paint me wearing this, wearing only this..." 当年想着那话觉得要流鼻血啊...
         (清嗓子, 整整衣服)
         话说回来, 其实这片子的情节吧, 挺生活的, 生活得有点枯燥. 简单介绍下, 莱昂和凯特年轻时在一次舞会上结识相爱结婚生了俩崽子, 后来成了典型的美国中产, 丈夫跟所有人一样无聊上班, 自己也没什么激情, 老板也不怎么器重. 唯一的兴奋点就是跟办公室小姑娘偶尔开个房打一发. 妻子在家做个绝望主妇. 有天妻子突然觉得没劲了, 跟老公说要不一起搬家去巴黎, 老公答应了.谁知吧, 眼看要走了, 莱昂这小子又把凯特肚子搞大了, 而且这狗日的时来运转, 新来的老板当他是块宝. 后来他就动摇了, 最后巴黎是不去了, 老婆是发飙了, 吵啊吵, 没完没了. 最后, 凯特横竖横自己动手要把小孩打掉, 结果失误把自己连孩子一起带走了. 电影也就这么完了.
    看了电影吧, 总要想想, 到底懂了些什么, 其实能得出的无非两个:
    A: 就是听主席的话, 不折腾.
    B: 要折腾就折腾到底.
         看看现在这结局, 无论走哪条结果应该都会好一点. 可是我们的心到底会向着A还是B呢? 不管你怎么说, 我第一反应是A.
         常有人说我现在很老气, 可能是因为我莫名其妙开始发卷的头发, 可能是因为我一成不变的穿衣风格. 这些表面的东西我自己是感觉不出的. 不过今天想了想自己的本能反应, 突然打了寒颤, 岁月的确不饶人啊...
         回想自个儿当时决定来北京, 就是想延缓下衰老, 偷两年单纯的学生生涯, 以为学校是个真空包装, 把我放进去就不会氧化, 现在看来, 实在还是一厢情愿. 得, 认了, 逆天不可为嘛.

    聊聊«梅兰芳»

    我不是戏迷,不了解梅兰芳的生平,所以不会去拍转。2009年看得第一部电影就是«梅兰芳»,觉得看完以后还是可以回味一下的。其实,一部电影能做到这样,也算成功了。

    影片从头至尾,最能贯穿始终的就是“纸枷锁”的比喻。“纸枷锁”到底是什么呢?在我看来,是一些本和自己人格无关的东西对于人格的干涉。对于梅兰芳来说,这个“纸枷锁”毫无疑问就是他“戏子”的职业。

    在梅兰芳生活的时代,“戏子”绝不仅仅是个职业,它是一个社会标识,决定了一个人的社会地位。我们看到了普通戏子被人们始终看作“下九流”的悲惨,也看到了“角”们的风光无限。这些看似是不同的命运,但是究其根本都是非常具有悲剧色彩的,就像梅夫人的那句话“梅兰芳不是你的,也不是我的,而是座的。”我是戏子,所以我的饮食起居,我的喜怒哀乐都要为我的职业服务。

    “爷爷”是见过人生起落的人,怀着爱的他用自己为梅兰芳铺平了辉煌前的最后一段道路,带着的便是让梅兰芳为提高戏子的地位的期望,可是从他怪罪梅兰芳未卸妆就去找他这点看,他老人家的确是没有看透,终其一生,台上是戏子,台下还是戏子。

    “大伯”倒是看透了,他信中点的很明,“到底都是看人家的眼色”,但是对于这种现状,他还是采取了以逃避为主的态度,希望梅兰芳脱离梨园。他没有想到的是,若是梅兰芳不能在面对中解脱,找到自己“戏子”之外另外一个身份,那脱离梨园无非是从小牢笼跳入了大牢笼。

    梅兰芳本可以接受自己的命运,让自己成为一个神话的。无论是三哥,六爷还是他的妻子, 他们都为缔造这个神话呕心沥血, 乃至处心积虑。但是他没有,他用自己的人格来书写自己的一生。

    无论是去美国表演,还是抗战期间的拒绝演出,以及抗战胜利后的复出,梅兰芳都在用行动来证明,他是一个性情中人,一个男人,一个老百姓。他是一个性情中人,所以为了心爱的女人,敢于赌上身家性命。他是一个男人,所以国难当头,他没有屈服于侵略者的铁蹄,也没有用自己的声望和表演为自己谋取安逸。他是一个老百姓,所以当一切恢复平静的时候,他能够和别人一样去庆贺,去继续自己的工作和生活。

    最后一幕,当梅兰芳对跟随他的众人说道“别跟了,我要去扮戏了”的时候,他真的成功了。因为他真的能够把“戏子”当成是一个职业,而笑看它所带来的荣辱了。

    In our lives, do we often mix “what we have” with “what we are?”

    If yes, let’s free ourselves.

    谨以此文来鼓励下2009年的自己,Be my master, not my slave.

    Broken Vow

    歌是好听的, 词是有问题的, 我只是尽力去翻译,不代表个人立场。

    tell me his name
    i want to know
    the way he looks
    and where you go
    i need to see his face
    i need to understand
    why you and i came to an end

    tell me again
    i want to hear
    who broke my faith in all these years
    who lays with you at night
    when i'm here all alone
    remembering when i was your own

    i'll let you go
    i'll let you fly
    why do i keep on asking why
    i'll let you go
    now that i found
    a way to keep somehow
    more than a
    broken vow

    tell me the words i never said
    show me the tears you never shed
    give me the touch
    that one you promised to be mine
    or has it vanished for all time

    i'll let you go
    i'll let you fly
    why do i keep on asking why
    i'll let you go
    now that i found
    a way to keep somehow
    more than a
    broken vow

    i close my eyes
    and dream of you and i
    and then i realize
    there's more to life than only bitterness and lies
    i close my eyes

    i'd give away my soul to hold you once again
    and never let this promise end

    i'll let you go
    i'll let you fly
    now that i know why i'm asking why
    i'll let you go
    now that i found
    a way to keep somehow
    more than a
    broken vow

    他有更醇厚的温柔?

    他有更摄人的眼眸?

    若你是由衷觉得他无比优秀,

    我想我或许会接受。

     

    要你亲口说出分手,

    多年同路付诸东流,

    漫漫长夜不再怀念我的肩头,

    因为有他伴你左右。

     

    我让你走,

    给你自由,

    虽要挽留,

    欲说还休,

    我让你走,

    挥挥衣袖,

    回忆予取予求,

    往事何堪回首,

     

    千言万语未说出口,

    千丝万缕难解的愁,

    纵然曾有过山盟海誓的时候,

    还是未能走到最后,

     

    我让你走,

    给你自由,

    虽要挽留,

    欲说还休,

    我让你走,

    挥挥衣袖,

    回忆予取予求,

    往事何堪回首,

     

    午夜醉酒,

    任往事一幕一幕都涌上心头,

    叹息每一段过去的恩怨情仇,

    何堪回首。。。

     

    若是还有机会把这份爱拯救

    我愿意献上我所有

     

    我让你走,

    给你自由,

    虽要挽留,

    欲说还休,

    我让你走,

    挥挥衣袖,

    回忆予取予求,

    往事何堪回首,

    小试写一篇影评:海角7号

    海角7

     

    看了海角7号,突然有一种莫名的感动,虽然说故事离我似乎很遥远,其中的爱情又有些离奇,却终究还是有一种被打动的感觉。看着有些评论写着所谓“清算历史”,或者“痛斥时弊”,实在觉得有些可笑,和日本有关的就一定是二战?城市化,国际化带来城市与农村,新潮文化和传统文化之间的冲突也算什么新鲜的时弊?若是一定要把艺术政治化的话,真可谓是“欲加之义,何患无辞”了。

    海角7号讲述的是两个简单的故事:

    故事1:从城市落魄回乡的小愤青阿嘉在一次暖场节目的排演中,逐渐接受身边的环境和人,重新学会沟通的方式,消除了对立,并且找到了爱情。

    故事2:六十多年以前的一场悲剧爱情通过尘封的情书被逐渐揭开的故事。

    后者始终贯穿在前者之中,从必然的关联性看,他们几乎是平行的结构,但后者却对前者产生着一种润物细无声的影响。故事2是推动故事1情节发展的无形力量,故事2是化解故事1中人物矛盾主要因素。

    从故事1的展开过程来说,是一个僵局建立的过程,阿嘉在回乡之后,和自己的故里,和继父,以及自己未来的乐队同事之间几乎都发生了冲突。这种矛盾使得阿嘉的生活显得几乎寸步难行,他绝望失落,又不知所措。大家在看似不可调和的利益两端互不相让,整个故事的早期发展成为了一个充满了荒诞色彩的僵局。

    于是,故事2,也就是一封封动人而缠绵悱恻的情书便出现了。这些信,就好像是一双无形的手,将故事1中的一个个死结悄然解开,正有些山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村的感觉。阿嘉开始接受身边的一切,身边的一切也逐渐接受他。他慢慢找到了自己生活的意义,也找到了自己和家乡千丝万缕的联系。头顶是灿烂的星空,脚底是亲切的厚土,眉头展开了,激情也重新被点燃。

    故事1从开始,也让我们看到了人与人之间的戒心,造成了一对又一对的矛盾。当然最明显的表现就是男女主人公,由于他们生活中各种不如意,每每和别人开始交往,总是带着对立的情绪。这一切也使得故事中人物关系的和谐成为了一种不可能。我们看到的是无尽的争吵,拍桌子,吹胡子瞪眼睛。

    而此时,又是故事2中的信起到了至关重要的作用。它像是一种润滑剂,慢慢渗透到了一块冰里,让它开始融化。主人公在感动之下逐渐放下了隔阂和防备,找到了尊重,坦诚以及表达感情的勇气。而最后,他们之间的拥抱也将故事的寓意彻底展开了。那便是对于人与人之间真挚情感的赞颂,唯有坦诚和爱的表达才能调和矛盾,化解隔阂。

    两个故事节奏一快一慢,可谓是给观众时不时换了换口味,单看故事1会让你有些喘不过气,而但看故事2又会让你觉得有些乏味,而正是他们适当的搭配,才给了我们一种更加丰富的体验。

    那么,所谓历史在这个影片中的作用到底是什么呢?

    其实,二战对于我们这代人来说理解都是很模糊的,虽然我们接受的教育让我们不能忘记,但是谁又能真切体会和表达那一份国仇家恨呢?因此,我认为,历史给了片中这对恋人的启示应当是这样的:

    首先,这对恋人的爱情毫无疑问是一个历史悲剧,由于战争,他们是不可能在一起的。这成了他们一生最大的遗憾。而对于片中这对年轻的恋人,这一切都不再是问题了,若是因为自己主观的原因而错过本来就很难得的缘分,那就是不可原谅的了。

    第二,当老奶奶终于能够拿到这些情书的时候,早已是老眼昏花,两鬓斑白,而那位老先生更是已经辞世。一切都太晚了。对于片中年轻的恋人来说,时间也是短暂的。表演结束,女主角就要回国,若是两个人在之前不能打开心门互诉衷肠,那么也许就再也没有机会了。正因为这样的启示,才使得这个感情的迅速展开有了一些合理的因素。

    总之,若是把这部片子当成政治片来看,那实在是没有什么太大的意思,但若是喜欢温情的朋友,应当还是能够在电影中找到一些感慨的。

    Shape of my heart (Sting)

    Sting 的那首 Shape of My Heart,  自己的理解和翻译,非常得意。
     

    he deals the cards as a meditation
    and those he plays never suspect
    he doesnt play for the money he wins
    he doesnt play for respect
    he deals the cards to find the answer
    the sacred geometry
    of
    chance
    the hidden law
    of
    a probable outcome
    the numbers lead a dance
    i know that the spades are the swords
    of
    a solider
    i know that the clubs are weapons
    of
    war
    i know that diamonds mean money for this art
    but thats not the
    shape of my heart
    he may play the jack of
    diamonds
    he may lay the queen
    of
    spades
    he may conceal, a king in his hand
    while the memory
    of
    it fades
    i know that the spades are the swords
    of
    a solider
    i know that the clubs are weapons
    of
    war
    i know that diamonds mean money for this art
    thats not the
    shape of my heart
    thats not the shape
    the shape of my heart

    and if i told you that i loved you
    youd maybe think theres something wrong
    im not a man
    of
    too many faces
    the mask i wear is one
    those who speak know nothing
    and find out to their cost
    like whose who curse their luck in too many places
    and those who fear are lost
    i know that the spades are the swords
    of
    a solider
    i know that the clubs are weapons
    of
    war
    i know that diamonds mean money for this art
    but thats not the
    shape of my heart
    thats not the shape of my heart
    thats not the shape
    the shape of my heart

    看着你不存一丝恨意,

    所以你半点没有怀疑。

    万两赏金,非我所欲。

    和我自尊也没关系。

    我们一路不断在找寻,

    什么是神圣的命运。

    世间万物,蕴含他的法令,

    悄然无息地执行。

    刀光剑影,谁人举世无敌?

    纵使枪炮只伤及肉体。        

    钱财万能,何人能买到生命。

    心才是至上的利器。

    世间多少富商官吏

    多少大侠纵横万里

    有人也曾,号称天下第一

    终却被世人忘记

    刀光剑影,谁人举世无敌?

    纵使枪炮只伤及肉体。        

    钱财万能,何人能买到生命。

    心才是至上的利器。

    所向披靡

    至上的利器

    若我对你说我爱你

    心中可会有惊喜

    漫天谎言,承诺如同儿戏 

    真心也被当做垃圾

    但若你去挑战真理

    必定处处都碰壁

    多少人在幸福面前放弃

    多少悔恨的哭泣

    刀光剑影,谁人举世无敌?

    纵使枪炮只伤及肉体。        

    钱财万能,何人能买到生命。

    心才是至上的利器。

    心才是至上的利器。

    所向披靡

    至上的利器

    深呼吸-范晓萱

    忙到深夜, 回想起当年在窗边常听到的歌, 那么就胡乱意译下来纪念下吧, 就算在高翻, 我也要娱乐的。
     
    Cheer up and be Brave
     

    The moment I saw her, she took my innocence away

    So deep I have fallen, there was no cure to save

    They were precious memory

    They get distant, never fade

    Even the night she went and left me with, not a word to say

     

    Cheer up and be brave, tears will leave no trace

    I can bear the pain, whatever it takes

    Cheer up and be brave, moving on I may

    All the good old days, packed them up in my case

     

    Heartbreak, took it off my face

    no one cares to give me embrace

    Heartbreak, that's the price to pay

    When the entire world turned grey

    Nothing stopped the rain

    I don't wanna wake

    in my dreams she never betrayed

    Love will linger in my heart and for always

    Part of me will never leave that time and place

     

    早知道爱你注定是无尽的忧郁
    我却不知该如何收回我的情意
    不能说出的故事

    一场美丽的相遇
    直到你对我说你心里已被人占据
    深深深呼吸,不让泪决堤

    我最爱的你,深锁在心底
    深深深呼吸,回头不看你

    有你的往日
    一幕幕涌上眼底

    心碎在扰攘的街
    我的伤悲你没发觉

    心碎下着雨的夜
    整个世界都在流泪

    雨不怕风吹

    梦不醒最美
    你在我心里轻轻的飞

    就让爱是一场不悔的沉醉
    就让我永远都学不会离别

    7 daffodils

    The Brothers Four, 一首朴素的歌, 简单而真挚, 翻出来预示暑假后我创作热情的回归。
     
    I may not have mansion, I haven't any land
    Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hands
    But I can show you morning on a thousand hills
    And kiss you and give you seven daffodils
    I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things
    But I can weave you moonbeams for necklaces and rings
    And I can show you morning on a thousand hills
    And kiss you and give you seven daffodils
     
    没法给你庄园, 没法给你大厦
    潦倒的我, 没有锱铢在名下
    跟随着我, 天下处处是你家
    为你驱走烦恼, 为你采来鲜花
    别人的珠光宝气, 对我是奢望
    只要你嫣然一笑, 美丽已绽放
    管他那大好河山, 你才是我向往
    有了你就算地狱, 也尽是芬芳

    numb

    linkin park 愤怒的呐喊构造出了这样容易掌控的旋律, 翻译过程在30分钟内解决。
     
    信誓旦旦要为她改变,
    直到走到眼前, 成漆黑的一片。
    她却从未感动过一点,
    在崩溃的边缘, 看自己都不顺眼。
    (快醒醒吧老兄, 快省省吧老兄)
    跟在别人后面永远踩不准步点。。。
    (快醒醒吧老兄, 快省省吧老兄)
    你以为安全,
    她在你身边,
    其实很危险, 越来越明显。
    受伤的嘴脸,
    哀求的语言,
    没人会可怜, 不要再犯贱!
    多少奴隶还如此悠闲,
    递上了缰绳, 跑起来还不敢颠。
    快给幻想都画上句点,
    要立地顶天, 再给自己加冕。
    (快醒醒吧老兄, 快省省吧老兄)
    跟在别人后面永远踩不准步点。。。
    (快醒醒吧老兄, 快省省吧老兄)
    还不赶快追回逝去的时间!
    你以为安全,
    她在你身边,
    其实很危险, 越来越明显。
    受伤的嘴脸,
    哀求的语言,
    没人会可怜, 不要再犯贱!
    。。。
     
    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
    I don't know what you're expecting of me
    Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    [Chorus:]
    I've become so numb
    I can't feel you there
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    I'm becoming this, all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you
    Linkin Park
    Can't you see that you're smothering me?
    Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
    'Cause everything that you thought I would be
    Has fallen apart, right in front of you

    Every step that I take is another mistake to you

    I'm becoming this, all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you
    I may end up failing too
    But I know
    You were just like me
    With someone disappointed in you
    [Chorus:]
    I've become so numb
    I can't feel you there

    Become so numb
    I can't feel you there
    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    I've become so numb
    I can't feel you there
    I'm tired of being what you want me to be

    自怜, 自省, 自勉, 自爱。。。

    曲来自那英和王菲的“梦醒了”, 前半段歌词也是较为忠实的翻译, 后面么, 属于自己的抒发和表达了, 再说原词内容也实在太离谱了。 创作理由么, 看标题就知道了
     
    Still recall the way we were planning the future
    So vivid and so true I grew to be so sure
    So sincerely you talked so reassuring you looked
    Can you imagine how much happiness you brought?
     
    Sent me to heaven sent me crushing right on the floor
    I didn't learn to fly I know it was my fault
    Rejected by the world that I abandoned before
    It's changed I can't believe in anything I saw
     
    Though loving you means endure
    Trusting my dream to you I would feel secure
    It is too late to withdraw
    Want to lose more the more that I've already lost...
     
    Don't wake me up I don't want at all
    In my dreams we were happy and pure
    Trading my whole life off, for you to love me more
    Cos your smile's the only thing I adore
     
    When I wake up fate'd be at my door
    We've to part nothing is immortal
    Pray to no star it falls, stick to no word it rots
    Say to her at the moment, forget me not!
     
    原词:
    我想起你描述梦想天堂的样子
    手指著远方画出一栋一栋房子
    你傻笑的表情又那么诚实
    所有的信任是从那一刻开始
    你给我一个到那片天空的地址
    只因为太高摔得我血流不止
    带著伤口回到当初背叛的城市
    唯一收容我的却是自己的影子
    想跟著你一辈子
    至少这样的世界没有现实
    想赖著你一辈子
    做你感情里最后一个天使
    如果梦醒时还在一起
    请容许我们相依为命
    绚烂也许一时平淡走完一世
    是我选择你这样的男子
    就怕梦醒时已分两地
    谁也挽不回这持离
    爱恨可以不分责任可以不问
    天亮了我还是不是你的女人

    Another song on love

    听了爱情呼叫转移, 决定填个英文词, 初步完成, 不过中英文咬字的问题依然存在, 欢迎指正.
     
    On Love
     
    It is through winning losing, cheering and frustration, one will learn to cherish the time being.
    Although love is a blessing, it is no salvation, having love doesn't mean you can stop fighting. 
    Prepare for rising falling, tears and disillusion, they can be no less precious than anything.
    Survive the cause of waiting, resist the temptation, till you prove that you're good enough for the ring.
     
    In love we can't avoid sins, on others we make our redemptions, no one's a grown-up till he started loving.
    It makes no sense denying, for life knows no evasion, the only way to conquer it is facing.
    In vain the desperate striving puts people in confusion, love is too solemn to maintain by begging.
    So much for the regreting, you'll find the key to your questions.
    Stop hesitating, for each lasting relations, starts from your trying.
     
    Though words guarantee nothing, and the false expressions, make you doubt if there's still truth existing.
    Flowers may be blooming, a bit of fluctuation, it may also mark a fullstop to my spring.
    Pretention makes love tiring, lies are no solution, you've got to be true to your own feelings.
    Romance is like a blinking, bear the imperfections, turns your happiness to a life-long thing.
     
    In love we can't avoid sins, on others we make our redemptions, no one's a grown-up till he started loving.
    It makes no sense denying, for life knows no evasion, the only way to conquer it is facing.
    In vain the desperate striving puts people in confusion, love is too solemn to maintain by begging.
    So much for the regreting, you'll find the key to your questions.
    Stop hesitating, for each lasting relations, starts from your trying.

    All I need to know

    Fleur my dear, this one's for you.
    人称上移了下位, 我想问题应该不大, 这首可以和着原曲去唱的.
     
    运气好的话,
    这辆皮卡,
    能够带我回家,
    运气好的话,
    下月薪水还有得拿.
    预报员的话,
    说雨会下,
    我想是的吧,
    不管好与差,
    为她我不惜代价.
     
    她是唯一的牵挂.
    管他世事的纷扰变化.
    有了她就不害怕,
    沧海桑田也罢.
     
    我是只青蛙,
    没一米八,
    有时有点傻.
    因为有了她
    我才学会了自大.
    这人世间的烦恼阿
    不去想了呀.
    她笑的一刹,
    天地遍开满鲜花.
     
    她是唯一的牵挂.
    管他世事的纷扰变化.
    有了她就不害怕,
    沧海桑田也罢.
     
    有了她就不害怕,
    沧海桑田也罢.
     
    原文:
    With a little luck this ol' truck will get me home today
    With a little more I'll still have this job tomorrow
    Weather man says a wet weekend he just might be right
    But rain or shine you'll be mine tonight

    That's all I need to know
    In a world where most things come and go
    I'll always have you to hold
    And that's all I need to know

    Heaven knows I ain't even close to bein' God's gift to women
    But in your arms I feel like I am
    I don't know it all, I sure can't solve
    The problems of the human race
    But I know how to bring a smile to your face

    That's all I need to know
    In a world where most things come and go
    I'll always have you to hold
    And that's all I need to know

    Darlin', say it one more time
    You will forever be mine

    That's all I need to know
    In a world where most things come and go
    I'll always have you to hold
    And that's all I need to know
    I'll always have you to hold
    That's all I need to know

    No need to show you the original

    老何的课还是一如既往地让人打不起精神, 于是迷迷糊糊地就想起什么翻什么玩吧, 不过翻完了自己觉得还可以
    这次就是翻译, 不能拿来唱, 也不压韵, 要严肃.
    Rise up, those who are not to submit to slavery.
    Let's merge our flesh and blood to construct a new Greatwall.
    Never has our nation been tested by a crisis as such.
    With no other option, we roar and rush towards our final battle.
    Rise up, rise up, rise up.
    United, as a whole, let's throw ourselves towards our enemie's fortress!
    Charge! Charge! Charge!
     
    这次总算不阴柔了, 爽!

    很久不练笔了

    译作没有重新命名, 是翻译了westlife的Fragile Heart, 可能是最近心情的原因吧, 加上自己比较大胆采取liberal手法, 所以翻来觉得味道似乎有点变了, 故未敢把原歌名随便翻来贴上去, 留给各位看官评述吧, 焦头烂额的日子已经过去, 为创作而创作的心情又回来了!
     
     
    心似已老, 只剩心跳, 像一叶小舟在海中飘摇
    你的一笑, 把我照耀, 在刹那间一切突然明了
    生命美好, 爱是预兆, 唯有信徒才能收到信号
    纵使煎熬, 荆棘围绕, 也敌不过它真诚的感召
    酸楚的味道, 未来我不需要
    爱是为懂它的人来到
    曲折,操劳,却无悔这一遭
    我更坚强因为有了依靠
    冷的外表, 渴望拥抱, 却害怕世界太多难意料
    在那一秒, 忘了烦恼, 那样熟悉我却不曾知道
    绝对不求饶,我没那么胆小
    懦夫才会说看破这一套
    爱是浪潮, 心底燃烧, 付出难逃它回报却很高
    若能执掌世间面貌, 留下恬静为你赶走喧嚣
    为你筑起心的爱巢,有爱有你有我就乐逍遥
     
    Fragile Heart
    A fragile heart, was broken before
    I don't think it could endure
    Another pain
    But there's a voice from deep inside
    Of you
    That's calling out to make you realise
    That this new bond gives inspiration
    To all who feel no love appeal no more
    So how can I break this wall
    around you
    That's aiding our hearts to grow
    in pain

    So forget your past, and we can
    Dream tomorrow
    Save our hearts for care and
    Lovin too
    It's hard I know, but oh one things
    For sure
    Don't go and break this fragile heart

    A hurting mind in need of emotion
    I don't think I could endure
    Another pain
    But baby in you, I've found affection
    Affection I have never felt before

    So don't let your past
    Destroy what comes tomorrow
    Don't go and break my fragile heart

    With all this fire that burns
    Between us
    There's so much to lose, yet so much
    More to gain
    And if I could choose the world
    Around me
    The world to choose, would all
    Revolve around you
    So help me complete the game
    Inside me
    And help to mend my fragile heart

    胡萝卜和人参

    再鲜嫩的胡萝卜也是胡萝卜, 长得快却卖不出好价钱的。  
    人参也许是干瘪了, 但它是按照人参的价钱卖的。
    做胡萝卜还是人参呢?

    如果这就是爱

    We are alike,
    Don't you deny,
    You've been searching for the one and only true love of life.
    When you wake up late at night,
    Can't help but wonder why,
    The longing for love keeps haunting your mind...
    Everything fades when love's in your eyes.
    From love courage derives
    Makes you dare to just step up and say "hi"
    There may will be pains, so painful you cry
    You'll be so proud cos at least you tried
    So nice, so clear are the memories of the old times
    The scars finally heal, the tears finally dry
    Though you waited she never arrived
    Wave to them and say "bye".
    Pretend you might,
    But I won't buy,
    Can't always hold our fates in these two hands so tight,
    No one can be calm and cool when future's in sight
    They toss and turn in joy till the sunrise,
    Everything fades when love's in your eyes.
    From love courage derive
    Makes you dare to just step up and say "hi"
    There may will be pains, so painful you cry
    You'll be so proud cos at least you tried
    So nice, so clear are the memories of the old times
    The scars finally heal, the tears finally dry.
    Though you waited she never arrived
    Wave to them and say "bye".
    Wave to them and say "bye".
     
    每个人都想明白
    谁是自己生命不该错过的真爱
    特别在午夜醒来更是会感慨
    心动埋怨还有不能释怀
    都是因为你触碰了爱
    如果这就是爱
    再转身就该勇敢留下来
    就算受伤就算流泪
    都是生命里温柔灌溉
    哦爱在回忆里总是那么明白
    困惑的心流过的泪
    还有数不清黑夜等待
    如果这就是爱
    如果你当时明白
    后来的生命里是快乐还是悲哀
    特别在夜深人静时想起未来
    是否能平静不会想现在
    只是因为你拥有了爱
    如果这就是爱
    再转身就该勇敢留下来
    就算受伤
    就算流泪
    都是生命里温柔灌溉
    哦爱在回忆里总是那么明白
    困惑的心
    流过的泪
    还有数不清黑夜等待
    如果这就是爱
    如果这就是爱

    今天英译中

    不知为什么, 今天不能用对照格式了, 原文在后面, 歌可能没听过, 是美国一个叫Kenny Chesney的乡村歌手唱的, 很不错.

     

    新买戒指紧握在手里面,

    脸红心跳喉咙也已埂咽,

    单膝跪在她面前,

    求求老天.

    万籁俱寂停止了这时间,

    突然抬头看见她的泪眼,

    我的心在这一点,

    悬在一线.

    千钧一发时我竟看见,

    她微笑容颜,

    无语言.

    没人能让我笑, 让我哭, 让我痴, 让我疯颠,

    让我爱怜.

    我的世界被你改变, 对你的爱无极无限,

    只有一件,

    只要能留你在我, 我的身边.

    蜜月过后日子不再清闲,

    茫茫碌碌只记得要赚钱,

    所有酸甜苦辣咸,

    全都尝遍.

    可是生活终究也会变脸,

    迷茫中我也曾徘徊夜店,

    像一支致命的箭,

    一切改变.

    她说爱情是海中小舟一片,

    我要去冒险,

    别挂念.

    没人能让我笑, 让我哭, 让我痴, 让我疯颠,

    让我爱怜.

    我的世界被你改变, 对你的爱无极无限,

    只有一件,

    只要能留你在我, 我的身边.

    点燃我心中亏欠,

    激情重新上演,

    那夜我重谱爱的诗篇....

    没人能让我笑, 让我哭, 让我痴, 让我疯颠,

    让我爱怜.

    我的世界被你改变, 对你的爱无极无限,

    只有一件,

    只要能留你在我, 我的身边.

     

    I had a hundred dollar ring in my hand
    So weak and tired i could barely stand
    From being up all night, prayin' she'd say yes
    So with a hopeful heart i hit one knee
    With a tear in her eye she looked at me
    It was the moment of truth, i was scared to death
    My life hung on what that tear meant
    Then she smiled at me
    And I lost it
    No one can make me cry
    Make me laugh
    Make me smile
    Or drive me mad like she does
    It's like a curse that is the cure
    Better or worse, one thing's for sure
    It's real love and I don't know what I'd do
    If I lost it
    Well the honeymoon ended and life began
    Jobs and bills, losing touch with friends
    And that apartment got smaller every day
    Then one night the walls finally closed in
    I came home late, she said where've ya been
    You used to call and tell me you're on your way
    She said if this is how it's gonna be, then I quit
    She walked out the door
    I lost it
    No one can make me cry
    Make me laugh
    Make me smile
    Or drive me mad like she does
    It's like a curse that is the cure
    Better or worse, one thing's for sure
    It's real love and I don't know what I'd do
    If I lost it

    I picked myself up off the floor
    She walked back through the door
    And we made love like it was the first time

    No one can make me cry
    Make me laugh
    Make me smile
    Or drive me mad like she does
    It's like a curse that is the cure
    Better or worse, one thing's for sure
    It's real love and I don't know what I'd do
    If I lost it

    练练手

    林忆莲, 不会结束的故事

    一直比较喜欢的一首歌, 论旋律和歌词都是很经典的. 因此以翻译的方法来致敬. 当然有不少意译的处理,或是出于水平有限的无奈,或是加入了自己的理解.各位看客如果会唱这首歌可以照着英文唱唱看, 我反正能唱下来的.

    微风是黑夜的呼吸
    把白昼吹得无踪无迹
    纷纷扰扰那些喧哗情绪
    暂时得到苏醒
    我还剩一点点想你
    好像远处微弱的声音
    如果可以我也能不在意
    让它经过我的生命
    如果你也偶然会想起
    希望都是一些美好记忆
    当你快乐的进行着你新的恋曲
    我也开始我另一段旅行
    爱过就永远不会结束
    无论曾让我们多么苦
    在事过境迁以后回头细数
    自己对自己更清楚
    爱过就永远不会结束
    愿它对你有一些帮助
    知道如何去珍惜如何祝福
    无论我们身在何处

     

    The gentle breeze brought in by the night

    Took this world o'er from the sunlight

    Farewell to you, all the worries of daytime.

    As messy, emotions arised

    Feeling of you is still near by

    Together with your tenderness and I

    If I could help it, I wouldn't mind

    To let the memory stay by my side

    If you learn from the past and then grow wise

    All the time and effort spent will seem alright

    When the brand new page of yours is no longer out of sight

    I am also fighting for my new life

    Love if ever started it won't die

    No matter how long it will take to find

    The cloud clears out and you will see the blue sky

    To know about yourself is nice

    Love if ever started it won't die

    It makes you spread your wings and fly high

    You'll learn to treasure others and say it's fine

    No matter the time and space we'll bind
