Hello darkness, my old friend 你好黑夜，我的老朋友
I've come to talk with you again 我又来与你聊天
Because a vision softly creeping 因为那幻觉无声无息地
Left its seeds while I was sleeping 在我梦里播下种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains 那感觉依旧深刻脑海
With in the sound of silence 伴随着那寂静之声
In restless dreams I walked alone 在那无眠之梦中我独自漫步
Narrow streets of cobble stone 在圆石铺成的窄路
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, 在昏暗的街灯下
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 我卷起衣领挡住寒冷与潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 我的眼睛被霓虹灯的闪光刺痛
That split the night 那灯光划破夜空
And touched the sound of silence. 触动那寂静之声
And in the naked light I saw 在没有遮挡的光线下我看到
Ten thousand people, may be more 上万个人，或许更多
People talking without speaking 他们有嘴却无力倾诉（说着无关的话语）
People hearing without listening 他们有耳却无心倾听（不去理会他人的呻吟）
People writing songs that voice never share 有人写着永远不会被翻唱的歌（指自己写的反战歌曲）
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence. 只是没有人敢打破寂静之声
"Fools" said I, "You do not know 我说"傻瓜们，你们难道不知道
Silence like a cancer grows. 寂静就像癌细胞一样蔓延。
Hear my words that I might teach you, 打开耳朵才能听见教诲，
Take my arms that I might reach you." 伸出手臂才能获得救赎
But my words like silent raindrops fell, 但我的话像无声的雨滴
Echoed 回音
In the wells of silence 淹没在寂静的井底
And the people bowed and prayed 人们弯腰祈祷
To the neon god they made. 对着他们自己创造的霓虹灯神
And the sign flashed out its warning 霓虹灯发出警告
In the words that it was forming. 用它的灯光警告无知的人们
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets 那灯光写道"预言写在
Are written on the subway walls 隧道的墙壁
And tenement halls." 和屋子的大厅"
And whispered in the sounds of silence. 然后呢喃着那寂静之声 |

歌曲原唱 Paul Simon ，Garfunkel
发行时间 1964年10月19日
这是一首反对越战的歌曲，写作于60年代末，表达了对越南战争控诉无人倾听的无力。
原声资料本片的音乐很有时代特色，在渲染气氛方面起了很大作用。本片配乐由戴夫·格鲁辛（Dave Grusin）与保罗·西蒙 （Paul
Simon）合作编写，前者负责音乐部份，后者则负责片中多首插曲，包括脍炙人口的“The Sound Of
Silence”、“Scarborough Fair”、“Mrs.
Robinson”等，当年都是令人朗朗上口的畅销曲。格鲁辛是著名爵士乐钢琴手，但配乐风格颇为多样化，本片偏向清新的民谣风，颇能反映入世未深的大学生心境。西蒙则是著名民谣二重唱“Simon
And Garfunkel”的作曲主将，历年参与电影配乐的作品只有5部，《成名之路》（Almost Famous）是最新作品。

歌评:这一首scarborough fair,也是一首反对越战的歌，此歌的歌词隐含了一些意义,
如歌名"scarborough fair"可剖解为"scar-borrow-fair",scar与fair昭示了歌者的本意
-战争与和平(anti-war),sage及thyme的有意延长提醒我们注意:sage同时又有-贤明,圣贤之意,
而thyme与time谐音.此歌曲恰是以一位在战火中牺牲的普通士兵的口吻唱出的.
这首歌曲创作于六十年代末,是奥斯卡奖影片"毕业生(the graduate,1967)"插曲之一. |
