我最喜欢的英文歌——《毕业生》主题曲The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
你好，黑夜，我的老朋友，
I’ve come to talk with you again.
我再次来和你交谈。
Because a vision softly creeping,
因为一个柔和的视线缓缓前行，
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
留下它的种子，在我熟睡之时。
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
这种视觉感受被种植在我的脑海中，
Still remains,
一直留存，
Within the sound of silence.
一片沉默。
In restless dreams I walked along.
在局促不安的梦中我独自行走。
Narrow streets of cobblestone.
狭窄的街道铺着鹅卵石。
Beneath the halo of a street lamp,
在路灯的光晕下，
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
我竖起衣领来抵挡寒冷和湿气。
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
当我的眼睛被跳动的霓虹灯刺伤时，
That split the night.
夜晚也被撕裂。
And touched the sound of silence.
然后触到了一片沉默。
And in the naked light,
在暴露的灯光下，
I saw ten thousand people maybe more.
我看见人头攒动。
People talking without speaking.
人们不用语言交谈，
People hearing without listening.
人们不用听觉倾听。[来源:学科网ZXXK]
People writing songs that voices never share.
人们谱写歌曲，歌声从不被分享。
And no one dared.
没人敢冒险，
Disturb the sound of silence.
搅乱一片沉默。
“Fools, ” said I, “You do not know,
“愚蠢，”我说，“你们不知道，
Silence like a cancer grows. ”[来源:学科网]
沉默像癌症一样生长。”
Hear my words that I might teach you.
听我的语言，我可以教你们。
Take my arms that I might reach you.
抓住我的手臂，我可以够到你们。
But my words like silent raindrops fell.
但是我的话像沉默的雨点无声地掉落。
And echoed in the wells of silence.
回声中，还是一片沉默。
And the people bowed and prayed,
人们服从，祈祷，
To the neon god they made.
对着他们制出的霓虹灯偶像。
And the sign flashed out its warning,
标志闪烁出警告，
In the words that it was forming.
用已形成的表达方式。
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. ”
标志说：“预言被写在了地铁的墙上和房间的客厅里。”
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
低语，在一片沉默中。
