The Sound of Silence – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Simon & Garfunkel
• 专辑: The Concert in Central Park

歌词与翻译

通过这首跨越半世纪的经典之作，你可以学习英语诗歌的隐喻手法（如'silence like a cancer grows'）和排比结构（'people talking without speaking'）。歌曲融合民谣的叙事性与摇滚的感染力，特别适合练习连音发音与情感表达。从黑暗意象到社会批判，每段歌词都是语言艺术的精妙范本。

[中文]

（“寂静之声”）

（欢呼和掌声）

你好，黑暗，我的老朋友

我又来和你倾诉心头

因为有个幻象悄悄潜入

在我沉睡时种下了它的籽株

而这幻象，在我脑海里扎根深处

至今仍留驻

在这寂静之声中潜伏

在不安的梦里，我独自漫步

在狭窄的鹅卵石街道上踟蹰

在街灯光晕的笼罩下

我竖起衣领，抵挡这寒冷与潮湿

当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的光芒刺穿

将黑夜撕裂成了两半

并触碰到了寂静之声

在这赤裸的光芒中，我看到

成千上万的人，或许更多

人们在交谈却并非真心诉说

人们在倾听却并未用心去捉摸

人们谱写歌曲，却无人将它们传唱散播

无人胆敢

打破这寂静之声

“傻瓜，”我说，“你们根本不知道

寂静如癌细胞般滋长扩散

听我说，或许我能教导你们

握住我的手，或许我能触及你们的心房”

但我的话语，像无声的雨滴般飘落

在寂静的深井中回荡

人们弯腰祈祷

向他们创造的霓虹之神顶礼膜拜

那标牌闪烁着它的警告

用它正在形成的文字表达

然后那标牌说：

“先知的话语，被书写在地铁的墙壁上

在廉租公寓的大厅里发芽”

并在寂静之声中低语回响

（欢呼和掌声）

♪ Still remains ♪

♪ Within the sound of silence ♪

♪ In restless dreams, I walked alone ♪

♪ Narrow streets of cobblestone ♪

♪ 'Neath the halo of a street lamp ♪

♪ I turned my collar to the cold and damp ♪

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

♪ That split the night ♪

♪ And touched the sound of silence ♪

♪ And in the naked light, I saw ♪

♪ Ten thousand people, maybe more ♪

♪ People talking without speaking ♪

♪ People hearing without listening ♪

♪ And no one dared ♪

♪ Disturb the sound of silence ♪

♪ "Fools" said I, "You do not know ♪

♪ Silence like a cancer grows ♪

♪ Hear my words that I might teach you ♪

♪ Take my arms that I might reach you" ♪

♪ But my words, like silent raindrops fell ♪

♪ And echoed in the wells of silence ♪

♪ And the people bowed and prayed ♪

♪ To the neon god they made ♪
