Evening Star
晚星
If you never rode west of
The Arizona border
You can turn the other way, boy
But you never get far
You’ve be living a lie
If you wanna see the wonders of the age
You must follow
The evening star
如果你还没去过
亚利桑那的西侧
那就调转方向
去看看晚星闪烁的地方
别再被人欺骗
那里从来都不遥远
岁月的奇迹在等着你去发现
Evening star
Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream
Where you are
You can see the loneliness I mean
And if I gotta fight, I can never play
Somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star
闪烁的星光
为无望者打开天堂
只有在那样的地方
才能看到真正的苍凉
如果注定只能抗争
我不愿活在别人的游戏中
只愿跟随晚星
走上自己的征程
Starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star
跟随着晚星
你永远不需要别人的姓名
Have you ever known a sunset
When the sky's on fire
How you end another day, boy
You’ve been searching too far
Like the desert I rode on
Any memory is lost in the restless wind
I just lie beneath
The evening star
你是否见过一种日落
那是天边燃起的大火
你怎么还在过着平凡的生活
在苟且中盲目地摸索
而我却在沙漠里穿行
所有记忆都已消散在风中
当我躺在苍穹下
仰望闪烁的晚星
Have you ever held a woman
In the Californian moonlight
Put your money on a good night
If you never been there
It's a sight for sore eyes
If you wanna see the wonders of the age
Making love beneath
The evening star
你是否曾经拥抱着一个姑娘
仰望着加州的月亮
共度那一掷千金的时光
如果你从没来过这里
这就是让你不愿眨眼的地方
这里有岁月的奇迹
这里有闪烁的晚星
这里有爱情的回忆
Evening star…
The Gambler
赌徒箴言
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
在一个闷热的夏夜里,在一辆不知驶向哪里的火车上
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired tosleep
我遇到了一个赌徒。我们都很累,累到无法入睡
So we took turns a staring out the window at the darkness
我们轮流盯着车窗,看着窗外的黑暗发呆
Till boredom overtook us and he began to speak
直到闲极无聊,他开始对我说话
Hesaid: "Son I've made a life out of reading people's faces
他说:“孩子,我是个靠观察别人脸色挣钱的人
Andknowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
我能通过他们的眼神看出他们手里有什么牌
Soif you don't mind my saying I can see you're out of aces
如果你不介意的话,我想说你现在肯定是过得不太顺利
Fora taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice "
让我尝尝你的威士忌,我可以给你点建议”
SoI handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
于是我把瓶子递给他,他一口喝光了我的酒
Thenhe bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
然后他先要了一根烟,又找我借火
And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost allexpression
这时夜晚突然变得死寂一片,他的脸上也一下子变得毫无表情
Said' "If you gonna play the game' boy' ya gottalearn to play it right
他说:“如果你想打赢扑克,你就得知道打牌的正确方法
You got to know when to hold 'em' know when to fold 'em
你得知道什么时候该拿着牌,什么时候该叠起牌
Know when to walk away and know when to run
你得知道什么时候该走开,什么时候该逃跑
You never count your money when you're sitting at thetable
坐在赌桌上千万不要数钱
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing’s done
赌局结束以后你有的是时间去计算输赢
Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
每个赌徒都明白输赢的秘诀
Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
就是什么应该保留,什么应该抛弃
Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
因为每一手牌都会产生一个赢家,也会产生一个输家
And the best that you can hope for is to die in yoursleep "
赌徒最好的归宿就能在睡觉的时候平静地死去”
And when he'd finished speaking he turned back towardsthe window
说完以后他把脸转向窗口
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
捻灭烟头慢慢睡着了
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
我看着窗外的黑暗,觉得赌徒这次既没赢也没输
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
但是在他的话里我找到了自己该永远保留的大牌
You got to know when to hold them know when to fold them
那就是:你必须知道什么应该保留,什么应该放弃
Know when to walk away and know when to run
你得知道什么时候应该走开,什么时候应该逃跑
You never count your money when you're sitting at thetable
坐在赌桌上千万不要数钱
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing’s done
赌局结束以后你有的是时间去计算输赢
You got to know when to hold them know when to fold them…

已经听这个节目两遍了,很是喜欢。老师的声音自然朴实,感觉很亲切。幽默风趣的讲解更是吸引人去不断地听下去。在快乐中不知不觉地收获满满,听到了很多以前听过的英文老歌,重新深入地了解歌曲的背景知识。
