勇气伴我前行

文/许泽传 绘/马豆子

日本作家龙之湖太郎曾在其作品《问题儿童都来自异世界》中这样写道:“就算因为恐惧而害怕得浑身颤抖,却依然向前迈出一步,这便是勇气。”

“Brave”这首歌出自美国乐队Actiorl Itern于2013年1月1日发行的专辑“ResollJtion”,勇气就像是藏于胸中的一把锋芒四射的利剑,它能砍断黑暗之路上的荆棘藤蔓.引领意志坚强之人不断突破自我,实现最初的梦想。

When it all feels like everything's impossible,And you don't fit right in a crowd,Go wild and break the mold. If you don't try you'll never fly,But you gotta be brave, yeah. Say you're out of luck,Knocked down in the dust. You've got a fragile heart. I know, cause so do I, yeah. Stuck here strugglin',Harder to believe that Things may fall apart,You can't give up the fight, yeah.☆Sometimes, running on low,Takes you all the way home. Prove how far you can go,You've gotta show the world.(Refrain)You gotta be brave, yeah. There is a remedy,Patched up easily. Learn to love yourself,And never hide the scars. There's been damage done. But the battle's won. You were strong enough,To get to where you are, yeah.(Refrain)(Refrain)You gotta be brave, yeah. oooooh, ooooh,You can stand tall,You can stay strong,You can show everyone. Oooooh, ooooh,You were your own,Let'em all know,That you can be brave.(Refrain)(Refrain)You gotta be brave, yeah.

赏析:

首先来看第一小节第二句歌词中的一个小词fit,它在这里作动词,意为“适应”,这句歌词的意思就是“而你觉得自己在一群人当中格格不入”。有一个与此相关的词组为fit in(with sb./sth.),它的意思是“(与某人)相处融洽,合得来,适应(某个环境)”。中国歌手邓紫棋与韩国“长腿欧巴”金秀贤一起为德芙巧克力拍摄了一则广告,其中有一句台词为“听说,下雨天巧克力和音乐更配哦”。我们就可以将它翻译成It is said that chocolate and music fit better on rainy days.

第二小节中有一个短语fall apart,它的本意是“破碎.断裂”,比如:The chair fell apart when I sat on it.在这里它指的是“(组织、制度、关系等)崩溃,破裂”,比如你的朋友尚未做好准备就想匆匆行动,你就可以告诉他:"Get fully prepared,or your plan will fall apart.(做好充分的准备吧,不然你的计划就会失败。)"大家对第二句歌词中patch up这个词组可能会有点陌生,它的本意是“修补;草草修理”,比如你的外套破了,你就可以跟妈妈说:"Mom,could you please help me patch up my coat?"在这首歌中,它指的是“仓促(或粗糙地)做成;拼凑成”。人生漫漫,谁都会有失意之时。但若不尝试,就永远无法展翅高飞。
