Written the subway walls and tenement halls."写在廉价公寓的大厅中。”
And whispered in the sounds of silence. 这告诫声在沉默之声中低语。


讲解：
1. 这首歌是Paul Simon在1964年写的，他与 Art Garfunkel所合唱。歌曲透过描写一种关于大众沈浸在沉默（盲目、压制等象征）之中的梦幻（Vision），来批判社会只知道盲目崇拜物质偶像（Neon god they made），不知道也不敢正视社会的真实面（例如地下铁与廉价公寓中的穷人）。沉默变成了一种声音（so

und of silence）让大众以为一切都还是正常。Paul Simon在美国社会正经历如越战、反种族歧视等社会动乱的年代写这首歌，应该是希望社会能够突破这些盲目与不合理的压抑，而找到出路。

2. 作者把黑暗形容为自己的老朋友，暗指自己向来孤独，可能是因为想法与社会一般人不同。 Because a vision softly creeping 当中省略了一些东西，应该是a vision that was softly creeping，这样就容易理解了。Softly用的很精确，表明是slowly and quietly，一个词就代替了两个词。这个creep跟softly也很相配，creep本身就有蹑手蹑脚地爬这个意思。所以大家在使用副词和动词的时候，要注意互相搭配。

3. 这句话的主干是vision remains with the sound of silence。Remain这个词相当于stay，表示一种持续的状态，用法跟系动词差不多。比如: He still remained silent after we showed him the evidence. 我们给他看了证据后，他还是保持沉默。They remained friends for their life-long time. 他们一辈子都是朋友。

4. 这句话比较长，状语比较多，正常应该是In restless dreams I walk alone on the narrow streets of cobble stone. Restless，从构词法就可以看出，是rest后面加上了less，变成了形容词，表示 “不平静的，不安宁的”， 例如: They spent a restless night in that house. 他们在那栋房子里度过了不安的一夜。the cold and damp表示又冷又湿的天气。

5. stab是指用匕首刺，扎，在这里是是一种比喻的说法，很形象，这里描写眼睛被划过夜空的霓虹灯的光线所刺射，由于霓虹灯在夜中闪烁，因此被形容成是碰触寂静的声音（touched the sound of silence）。

6.split撕开，裂开，指用暴力那种，相当于tear，break这里跟前面的stab这个词相呼应，造个句子：A lightning bolt split the night sky.一道闪电划破夜空。Split这个词还有分开，分享的意思，相当于divide，share。 We split the cake.我们一起分享蛋糕。还要注意split的过去式和过去分词都是split。

7. naked light：指的应该是上一段所描述的霓虹灯光，没有遮掩因而刺眼的光，常常也指大白天。

8. See someone doing something 看见某人正在做某事，比如歌词中I saw people talking. 还有see someone do something表示看见了某人做某事，这件事已经做完了，比如：I saw them walk hand in hand yesterday.昨天我看见他们手牵着手走路。

9.silence like a cancer grows省略了系动词be和定语从句关系代词，应该是silence is like a cancer that grows. hear my words that I might teach you，take my arms that I might reach you这两句话应该是hear my words so that I might teach you，take my arms so that I might reach you.

10. Bow to向某人鞠躬，引申就是指想某人或某物屈服，这里bow and prayed to the neon god就是

在批判人们对物质的盲目崇拜。

11. 这里the neon god和前面的neon light来借指物质偶像。

12. flash， 闪现，闪烁，还可以做为名词，表示很短的一段时间，比如：I'll be on my way in a flash. 我马上就上路。the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming：圣经中上帝在以洪水或大火等灾难处罚其子民后往往就又发出慈悲心，与存活的犹太人立下约定只要人民顺服祂将给予祝福。例如挪亚方舟的故事，彩虹变成立约的记号。这里的记号sign也有超自然的神谕的含意，虽然不一定是犹太教或基督教的神。

13. 这句话补充完整就是The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and are whispered in the sounds of silence. 先知的话语是写在地铁的墙上以及廉价公寓的大厅里。表示社会真实的现状（先知所见的事实）只有在地铁墙上的涂鸦以及穷人在其所住的廉价公寓大厅中所发的怨言或哀求中才得以发现。








There's a kind of hush
There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us
And nobody else in sight
There's nobody else
And I'm feeling good just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Get closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear I love you
For ever and ever
There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are falling in love
So listen very carefully
Get closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear I love you
For ever and ever
There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are falling in love
一片宁静
今晚，全世界一片宁静
整个世界
你只能听见恋人的声音
你知道我在说什麽
只有我俩
四下无人
没有别人时
紧紧拥抱着你，感觉真好
请你仔细聆听
靠近一点，你就能明白我的意思
这不是一场梦
你唯一能听到的声音
是我在你耳边轻诉「我爱你」
直到永远
今晚，全世界一片宁静
整个世界
像我们这样的人儿都陷入了爱河
请你仔细聆听
靠近一点，你就能明白我的意思
这不是一场梦
你唯一能听到的声音
是我在你耳边轻诉「我爱你」
直到永远
今晚，全世界一片宁静
整个世界
像我们这样的人儿都陷入了爱河

Song sung blue 唱首忧郁的歌
Song sung blue everybody knows one
Songsung blue every garden grows on
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again
Song sung blue weeping like a willow
song sung blue sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it
with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get the feeling good
you simply got no choice
Song sung blue everybody knows one
song sung blue every garden grows on
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
And before you know it get the feeling good you simply got no choice
Song sung blue everybody knows one
Song sung blue every garden grows on
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
And before you know it get the feeling good you simply got no choice

唱一首忧郁的歌

在你意识到这一切是你会发现
你的心情已经变的很好
你很容易的改变的它
唱一首忧郁的蓝调

Rhythm of the Rain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.

The only girl I care about has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain, please tell me now. Does that seem fair for her
To steal my heart away when she don’t care
I can’t love another, when my heart’s somewhere far away.

The only girl I care about has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain, won’t you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.

Oh, listen to the falling rain--pitter-patter...

歌词大意：

听那淅淅沥沥的雨声，它好象在说,我是个傻瓜。 我真希望雨停下来。 让我无望地哭泣， 让我再次孤身单影。
我唯一在乎的姑娘已经离去， 去寻找她的新生活。 然而，她不知道， 当她离去的那天， 也将我的心带走。
雨呀，请告诉我，那样公平吗？她偷走了我的心， 居然毫不在乎。 我无法再爱别人， 我的心已远远漂向异地。
雨呀，你就不能告诉她 我多么地爱她， 请让太阳燃起她心中的爱苗， 让雨滋润她的心田。 让我们爱情之花重新盛开。
哦，听那雨声， 噼哩啪啦。





Seven lonely days
Seven lonely days make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.
Ever since the time you told me we were through,
seven lonely days,
I cried and cried for you.

Oh, my darling,
you're crying-boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
There's no use in denying I cried for you.
It was your favorite pastime making me blue.
Last week was the last time I cried for you.
Seven hankies blue are filled with my tears,
seven letters, too,
are filled with my fears.
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue.
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you.
Oh, my darling, I cried and cried for you. ，
Seven lonely days make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.
Ever since the time you told me we were through,
seven lonely days,
I cried and cried for you.
七个寂寞的日子 一周的寂寞
七个寂寞的夜 寂寞的我
自从你说我们已結束
七个寂寞的日子
我一直一直为你而哭泣
噢！亲爱的
你哭泣着
无须否认我为你而哭
你过去总是让我忧伤
上周是我最后一次为你而心伤
七条蓝色的手帕盈滿我的泪水
七封信也盈滿我的心情
不费心思的让所爱的人忧伤
七个寂寞的日子
我一直一直为 你而哭泣
噢！亲爱的
我一直一直为你而哭泣
七个寂寞的日子
一周的寂寞
七个寂寞的夜
寂寞的我
自从你说我们已結束
七个寂寞的日子
我一直一直
为你而哭泣
歌词讲解：
Seven lonely days make（构成） one lonely week，表示I feel lonely everyday,连续一个礼拜，为什么呢？Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.表示not only do I feel lonely every day,but also seven nights. Day and night(早晚)
1. Lonely孤独的，alone表示单独的，一个人
我们可以通过这个句子来具体看一下这两个单词的不同点：
I am alone in the house,but not lonely.
2. make 在这里表示“构成”，但是翻译的时候一般不把它直译出来。
Seven lonely days make one lonely week. 七个寂寞的日子 一周的寂寞
12 months make one year. 12个月为一年。
Sunshine always makes a happy me.阳光总是造就幸福的我
Make是一个用途很广的词，和不同的词来搭配会有不同的语境，比如：
Make tea.泡茶
What makes you here? 你怎么在这儿？
I made it. 我做到了
3. Ever（强调，不要都可以） since the time（自从这个时候），什么时候啊，when you told me we were through(咱们吹了)seven lonely days,
I cried and cried for you. 我一直一直为你而哭泣
Ever since（从那时到现在）引导的副词从句用过去式不错，但是主句要用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，I have been crying and crying for you. Ever since y

ou came,I have been feeling very happy.
4.Be through.“分手“也是Break up with somebody的意思
When were you through? 你们什么时候分手的？
还有一个词dump也有这个分手的意思，比如Dump me表示甩掉我。
也等于Walked out on me. 看来表示分手和甩掉的词汇很多啊！
歌词虽然悲伤，还是想听，听听中文版的。（中文版）
5.Oh, my darling, 噢！亲爱的
you're crying-boo-hoo-hoo-hoo. 你哭泣着BUHOO哭的声音
6.There's no use in denying I cried for you. 无须否认我为你而哭
比如：
There’s no use in doing something 是一个很好的句型，表示做某事是没有用的，徒劳的。
看一个句子：There’s no use in reasoning him跟他讲理是没有用的。
7. It was your favorite pastime making me blue。让我忧伤是你最喜欢的消遣。
Favorite表示“最喜欢的，最爱”
例句：what is your favorite movie? 你最喜欢看哪部电影啊？
Pastime 表示业余活动，消遣。
如果我问你：What is your pastime? 你的消遣是怎样的啊
你可以回答：I like to do some reading.
或者说：Swimming is my favorite pastime.
8. Seven hankies(handkerchief) blue are filled with（沾满） my tears,
七条蓝色的手帕盈滿我的泪水
Hanky是handkerchief的口语表达方式，
Be filled with 表示’充满’
Blow one’s nose擤鼻子
9.Guess（我想） it（代替后面的不定式短语） never pays to make your lover blue. 不费心思的让所爱的人忧伤
pays 表示值得，等于worthwhile
It pays to study English. 学习英语是值得的。
Pay 还表示工资，津贴的意思，
来学一个短语in the pay of 被收买的；被豢养的；当狗腿子的
This man is in the pay of the enemy.
此人是被敌人收买的
听完这首歌，是不是不要哭泣了呀？告诉那个让你哭泣的人，You will be sorry for what you have done











Lemon Tree
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Sing! Da, da da dee da, etc.
I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my

head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Where nothing ever happens, and I wonder
Isolation, is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen, and you'll wonder
I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder, wonder, I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky
And all that I can see (dit dit dit)
And all that I can see (dit dit dit)
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

我坐在这——一间空屋子里
这也只不过是另一个下雨的周日下午
除了消磨时间我没什模事情可做
我四处张望，我在等待你的到来
但是好像什莫事情也未曾发生，我不知道
我开着车出去兜风
我把车开得很快，开了很远
我想换种方式生活，换个角度看世界
我感觉到如此孤单，我在等你回来
但是什么事也未曾发生，我不明白为什么会这样
我不知道怎么办，我不知道为什么会这样
昨天你还给我讲那蓝蓝的天空会多莫美丽，生活会多莫美好
但是我看见的只有一株柠檬树
我摆动着我的头，上下上下
不停的摆动着我的头。我前后左右的看
它也只是一株黄色的柠檬树
我坐在这里，身上没有了一丝力气
我想出去展示一下我自己
但是我心中有着顾虑。有一片阴云载我心中挥之不去
我感觉如此的疲惫，回到了家里把自己扔到了床上
也许什莫也没发生过，谁知道呢？
我在沙漠中快乐的踱步
宝贝，无论如何我要找到另一个玩具
然后，所有事情都会发生，然而这一切你不会知道
我所有能够看见的只是另一株柠檬树
