据说这是一首上个世纪60年代,美国最受大学生欢迎的歌,旋律优美,故事凄美,是一首广为传颂的经典英文歌曲。我常常在全民歌房唱这首歌,被歌友们笑说,我是老古董唱老古董。╯□╰
它曾作为第40届奥斯卡获奖影片《毕业生》的插曲,用来表现的是一位在前线作战的士兵对恋人的思念,士兵请求去斯卡布罗市镇的人带去给心上人的问候,曲调凄婉婉转,给人以心灵深处的触动,能够荡涤人心。也深深勾起人们或悲或喜的回忆。
今天打算来翻译这首歌曲,其中有四种植物,分别是“香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香”,英文是Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme。在翻译末尾,我去找来四种植物图片,以供大家参考。
先欣赏全英文:
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
he once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needless work
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me on acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
he once was a true love of mine
