爱华网这首《We are the world》,有两个版本,我更喜欢Michael独自领唱的这版。它听上去大气磅礴,情感深挚。我喜欢直译(难度很大),更看重忠实于原文,绝不美饰原意!那些已有译文都不够好。现在译出来,只愿与大家分享而己!水平有限。
从前一直以为酷爱歌舞的我,对迈克尔(Michael)似乎很熟悉,无论是对他的奇妙绝伦的鼓点儿、舞步,他的某些令人柔肠寸断而又激情四射的歌声,还是他的不同凡响的人生故事,其实只是似乎而已!只因了他的突然离世,才对这位才艺超凡脱俗的美国艺人能够定睛仔细一看,才发现,原来我对他的某些为数不多的几首比较偏爱的歌曲,也没能完全听懂它们的歌词意思!Michael是名美国黑人,五岁登台,兄弟五人家庭乐队主唱起始,他能歌善舞,从家喻户晓的童星顺利过渡成为轰动美国的大名星,声望与成就超越猫王、甲壳虫。关于他的关键词有歌星、作词、作曲、配器、太空步、机械舞、慈善家,大富豪……至于那些传闻,我推断他娈童不实,心理障碍有,整容有(主要是鼻部多次整容),白癜风有,不过,他为了美观,可能将病情人为推波助澜,致使其遍及全身皮肤,好似漂白一般!以致后患无穷……郎咸平说得对,美国的上流社会是由WASP组成的,Michael的人生中注定充满艰辛和悲剧……
