Blowing in the Wind
-Bob Dylan
很有意义的话语,曾在经典之作《阿甘正传》中出现过。 虽然「Blowing in the Wind」的时代背景是越战时期的美国社会,但是这首歌的意境却可以说是「放诸四海而皆准」,同时始终深受世界各地人们的喜爱。当东欧与中东各地战火频传、当国人为政府与某些民间企业的不当措施采取激烈抗争手段的时候,总是令人不禁又想起这首歌曲。解决争端的方法其实显而易见,就像是飞扬在风中一样,只是有几人肯去倾听呢?
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take
’Till he knows that too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
答案在风中飘荡
一个男人要走过多少路
才能被称为男人
一只白鸽要飞过多少海洋
才能在沙滩上安睡
加农炮还得飞行多少次
才会被永远禁止
答案啊!朋友,就飘在风里
答案就飘在茫茫的风里
一座山能存在多久
在它被冲刷入海之前
人们能够存活多少年
在他们获得自由以前
一个人可以转过头去几次
假装什么都没看见
答案啊!朋友,就飘在风里
答案就飘在茫茫的风里
一个人得仰望几次
才能看见蓝天
一个人得有多少耳朵
才能听见人们的哭泣
还得多少人死亡
他才能明白已有太多人死去
答案啊!朋友,就飘在风里
答案就飘在茫茫的风里
