Stones in the road (Mary Chapin Carpenter) When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives, The classroom rang with children voices under teacher's watchful eyes, We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime, Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds. 童年的生活很快乐, 看到歌词想起来自己小的时候,也一样很喜欢玩,但是那个时候可没现在这样对社会有看法, 童年的眼里都是快乐的, 不会想到很多人都痛苦. And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust, And then a voice called to us to make our way back home. When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd, To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town. His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground, And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down. 女孩子和父亲关系好,的确没错,她骑在父亲肩上***次看到火车,值得留恋珍惜,但是好景不长,父亲的去世给她打击肯定也很大, 不然不会觉得夏天很热,电视的噪音, 整个城市都象在一片火海中.人高兴的时候听在吵闹的音乐也不会觉得头痛. 不高兴的时候听什么音乐也觉得是噪音.可能你们也有体会. And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires, Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home. And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung. We are the daughters and the sons, and here is the line that's missing. The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street We give a dollar when we pass and hope our eyes don't meet. We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite. We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt. 作者张大了,知道很多失去的东西,也知道做人的辛苦,不断努力,只能不断向上才能在这个社会生存. 第2段还没真正理解什么意思.不过可以知道作者也一样,看到这样的人觉得自己无能为力.. 但是不知道为什么不敢直视这个饥饿的孩子. 我还是没想通, 可能***段提到这样饥饿的孩子.只能怀疑作者也对这个社会很失望,觉得自己真的没办法帮助他们. 觉得很不好意思吧. And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels Another day, another deal, before we get back home And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know!!! ***后还是自己生活在这个社会,为了生计4处奔波.不停的努力!! 歌词写的真好,越看越有味道.很多真正的意思没有完全理解到. 本帖子2006-04-21 21:49:41由louis tian进行编辑!! 本帖子2006-04-21 21:51:27由louis tian进行编辑!!
