一首听起来非常舒适的歌曲叫做"Florence",来自于非典型女声乡村乐队Crooked Still,这支乐队于2004年成立于波士顿,自称为“另类兰草风格”,现有成员5名。这首歌以大提琴为基调,在这首歌里面,以往扮演悲情角色的大提琴已经不再哀伤,它变的悠扬而且温暖 ,它还穿插着班卓琴,如此大胆混搭出来的音乐风格更加精致而人文,就适合慢慢悠悠的时光里静静地聆听。本期主播:小C姐(主播微信公众号:小C微英语 / 抖音: 198211980)
Not many years their rounds shall roll
Each moment brings it nigh
And all your glories stand revealed
To our admiring eye
You wills of nature speed your course,
You mortal powers decay
Fast as you bring the night of death
You bring eternal day
人在世上的日子何其短暂
分分秒秒都在奔向死亡
在我们欣羡的眼里
你的荣耀却亘古光照
与生俱来的欲望催人老去
肉体的力量转眼消亡
你瞬间带来死亡之夜
转眼又带来永恒白昼
You weary heavy-laden souls
Who are oppressed sore
You travelers through the wilderness
To Canaan's peaceful shore
Through beating winds and chilly rains,
And waters deep and cold
And enemies surrounding you
Have courage and be bold
酸楚压迫之下的人们
疲惫的肩负重轭的灵魂
你们穿越旷野
去往迦南和平之地
大风扑面 寒雨淋漓
河深且冷
众敌环伺
你们应当刚强壮胆
The storms and hurricanes arise
The desert all around
And fiery serpent soft appear
Through the enchanted ground
Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear
And dragons often roar
But when the gospel trump we hear
We'll press for Canaan's shore
暴雨飓风涌起
旷野茫茫
火蛇出没
魔鬼辖制的大地上
黑夜、乌云和绝望一齐降临
恶龙依旧咆哮
但当福音的号筒声传入耳中
我们将义无反顾 奔向迦南
讲解歌词段:
And all your glories stand revealed
你的才华总有一天会展现
To our admiring eye
我们总是那样的羡慕你
Your wills of nature speed your course,
你的意志帮你度过重重难关
You mortal powers decay
如果只是个凡人这是何等销蚀
