整首歌在压抑的氛围中传达着希望和奋进的力量,几句近乎绝望的呼唤后的后半段歌词美得像一首诗。这首歌教会我们的是处在低谷的时候,要时常抬起头看看蓝天。
没有人可以否认生活的沉重,可是当赤脚的流浪汉放声歌唱,当拾荒老人弯腰闻嗅花香,我们怎能不感叹生命的美好?我们在阳光下抱怨可能到来的风雨,他们却在阴暗处兀自绽放。
歌词
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
这首歌让小编想起 Bob Dylan 的一句话 When you get nothing,you get nothing to lose. 所以永远不要对生活绝望,生活的意义就是想办法把一件又一件令人措不及防的事情想办法做到最好。
来看一下这首歌歌词中的小知识吧!
shoot up 迅速成长
stony 有很多石头的,冷酷的
英语中有很多名词加 y 变成形容词的现象,大家可以在遇到的时候注意一下,或者考试时实在想不出的话尝试往这个方向蒙也有很大概率蒙对。
out of luck 倒霉
lend a hand 伸出援手,提供帮助
in the maze of 表示在充满某种东西的复杂环境中
例如 in the maze of streets 在繁杂的街道上
ring true 听起来真实可靠, ring 有响铃的意思,因此可以译成「听上去」
be all over 全场结束 You are all over. 你完蛋了
get away 离开,脱身,逃脱
小编最喜欢的后半段歌词中,非常有趣的一句是 See China right in front of you. 这整段都描写的是看见生命中美好的事物,这句话表明在当地的文化中,中国代表非常美丽神秘的东方的意象。是不是很自豪呢?
下面我们重新来欣赏一下这一段文字好不好~ 可以作为英文写作的积累。
(小编由于太喜欢这段话了,自己尝试着翻译了一下,大家可以当作参考,如果有不同意见欢迎讨论哦!)

See the canyons broken by cloud
