經典電影中的經典歌曲the sound of silence

Hello, darkness my old friend

你好,黑暗,我的老朋友

I've come to talk with you again

我又來跟你聊天了

Because a vision softly creeping

因為一種幻覺輕柔地蔓延

Left it's seeds while I was sleeping

在我沉睡時,它播下種子

And the vision that was planted in my brain

那植入我腦海中的幻影

Still remains within the sound of silence

仍駐留在寂靜之聲中

In restless dream

在無止境的夢裡

I walked alone the narrow street of cobble stone

我獨自走在卵石鋪成的窄巷中

Beneath the halo of a street lamp

在路燈的光暈上

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

我的衣領顯的冰冷潮濕

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

當我的眼睛被霓虹燈的光芒刺傷時

That split the night and touched the sound of silence

它也撕裂了夜晚,也觸動了寂靜之聲

And in the naked light

在這個裸夜

I saw ten thousand people may be more

我看到數以萬計以上的群眾

People talking without speaking

無聲地議論

People hearing without listening

無響地聆聽

People writing songs that voices never share

人們寫著無法以聲音傳遞的歌曲

And no one dare disturb the sound of silence

且沒人敢打攪寂靜之聲

"Fools" said I" you do not know

我說笨蛋!你們都不明白

Silence like a cancer grows

沉默像癌細胞般擴散

Hear my words that I might teach you

聽我的話,我或許會教你們

Take my arms that I might reach you"

抓住我的手,我或許能拉你們一把

But my words like silent raindrops fell

但我的話就像下著一場無聲的雨

And echoed in the wells of silence

在沉默的井中產生共鳴

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made

人們向他們自己塑造出來的霓虹神膜拜

And the sign flashed out it's warning

而神蹟發出它的警訊

In the words that it was forming, and the signs said

它逐字逐句形成,而神諭說

The words of the prophets

先知的預言

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

就寫在地鐵的牆上和客廳

And whispered in the sound of silence

並呢喃著寂靜之聲
