前些天《 忆来唯把旧书谈:校园中读校园中篇 1 》说到《请与我同行》。小说中引用的诗很不错,虽然都不是作者自己所写。 开篇引用惠特曼诗 Song of the Open Road 的结尾一段 ( 去掉了最后一句 ) 。我很喜欢,专门找了英文读,比中文感觉更好 。 I give you my hand! I give you my love, more precious than money, I give you myself, before priests or the law; Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? 文字浅显。不经意间,也体现了美国人的奇怪想法, money 几乎是 most precious 了。 另一首是作者同学写的诗,《我希望》。主旨是希望自己的伴侣与自己一样。这是种自然也非常可以理解的期待。难的是认清自己到底是什么样。这类诗,体现着八十年代那种理想主义精神,在现在看来,未免有些恍若隔世。真正是, too young, too simple, sometimes naïve 。诗全文如下 人们常问,应该找个什么样的伴侣呢?我说—— 我希望,她,和我一样, 胸中有血,心头有伤。 不要什么月圆花好, 不要什么笛短箫长。 要穷,穷得像茶, 苦中一缕清香。 要傲,傲得像兰, 高挂一脸秋霜。 我们一样,就敢暗夜里, 徘徊在白色的坟场, 去倾听鸱鴞的惨笑, 追逐那飘移的荧光。 我们一样,就敢在森林里, 打下通往前程的标桩。 哪管枯枝上,猿伸长臂, 何惧石丛里,蛇吐绿芒。 我们一样,就敢随着大鲸, 划起一叶咿哑的扁舟, 去探索那遥远的海港, 任凭风如丧钟,雾似飞网。 我们一样,就敢在泥沼里, 种下松籽,要它成梁。 我们一样,就敢挽起朝晖, 踏着鲜花,走向死亡! 虽然,我只是一粒芝麻, 被风吹离了茎的故乡。 远别云雀婉啭的歌喉, 远别玫瑰迷人的芬芳。 我坚信,也有另一颗芝麻, 躺在风风雨雨的大地上。 我们虽未相识,但我终极乐观, 因为我们顶的是同一轮太阳。 就这样,在遮天的星群里, 去寻找那粒闪烁的微光。 就这样,在蔽日的密林里, 去辨认那片模糊的叶掌。 当年我能背诵这首诗。现在最认同的是最后一段,说明难度大到了几乎不可能的程度。因此,找到另一个自我,不仅要有见识和努力,也要有耐心,更要有运气。
蟾蜍先生之歌 by Kenneth Grahame 世界已经拥有了许多伟大的英雄, 就像史书的记载那样 ; 但从来没有一个名字延续出如此的名声 当与蟾蜍的名声比较 牛津大学的聪明人 知道所有需要知道的事情。 但他们没有人知道一半之多 象蟾蜍先生一样的智能! 动物们坐在方舟上哭泣, 他们眼泪滴落在流动的洪水里。 是谁曾说过,“前面就有陆地?” 蟾蜍先生鼓励他们! 军人们一起敬礼 当他们沿着道路前进。 国王或厨师是什么? 不,它是蟾蜍先生! 女王和她的宫女 坐在窗口做针线。 她哭着问,“看!那英俊的男人是谁?“ 她们回答说,“蟾蜍先生。” The Song of Mr Toad The world has held great Heroes, As history-books have showed; But never a name to go down to fame Compared with that of Toad The clever men at Oxford Know all that there is to be knowed. But they none of them knew one half as much As intelligent Mr Toad! The animals sat in the Ark and cried, Their tears in torrents flowed. Who was it said, “There’s land ahead?” Encouraging Mr Toad! The Army all saluted As they marched along the road. Was it the King? Or Kitchener? No. It was Mr Toad! The Queen and her Ladies-in-waiting Sat at the window and sewed. She cried, “Look! who’s that handsome man?” They answered, “Mr Toad.”
I love NPR, where I heard this powerful song by Sam Cooke. http://www.npr.org/2014/02/01/268995033/sam-cooke-and-the-song-that-almost-scared-him A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke I was born by the river In a little tent And just like the river I've been running ever since It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change gonna come Oh, yes it will It's been too hard living But I'm afraid to die I don't know what's up there beyond the sky It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change gonna come Oh yes it will I go to the movie, and I go downtown Somebody keep tellin me don't hang around It's been a long, a long time coming, But i know a change gonna come Oh yes it will Then I go to my brother I say brother help me please But he winds up knocking me Back down on my knees There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh, yes it will
Ransac Song: 搞科研要是可以一直这么欢乐就好啦~~ http://danielwedge.com/ransac/ When you have outliers you may face much frustration if you include them in a model fitting operation. But if your model's fit to a sample set of minimal size, the probability of the set being outlier-free will rise. Brute force tests of all sets will cause computational constipation. N random samples will provide an example of a fitted model uninfluenced by outliers. No need to test all combinations! Each random trial should have its own unique sample set and make sure that the sets you choose are not degenerate. N, the number of sets, to choose is based on the probability of a point being an outlier, and of finding a set that's outlier free. Updating N as you go will minimise the time spent. So if you gamble that N samples are ample to fit a model to your set of points, it's likely that you will win the bet. Select the set that boasts that its number of inliers is the most (you're almost there). Fit a new model just to those inliers and discard the rest, an estimated model for your data is now possessed! This marks the end point of your model fitting quest.
Date: June 15, 2008 11:21AM 西方流行 love songs,推荐两首。第一首是可以一听钟情的。唱出了宝玉第一次见到林妹妹的感觉:天上掉下个林妹妹,一见如故,似曾相识。第二首乍一听跟周杰伦的《青花瓷》似的,含含混混的,还显得有些嘈杂。可是,多听几遍,就越来越受听。 (1) savage garden - I knew I loved you: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Axghkx-n40o/ I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden is a beautiful love song. In fact, it is said to be one of the most popular songs played in wedding ceremonies in the west today. The lyrics reflect the feelings of many people in love: they think they are destined to be together forever. This is a wonderful feeling. (2) BBMak - Back Here http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Dx-D2AU5JVQ/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l95MMbls0GQ BACK HERE by BBMak The first time I heard "Back Here" by BBMak, I did not immediately like it. But the more I listen to it, the more I like it. It is not an easy song to sing, and I really admire BBMak who sang it so well. I did some research online on this song. BBMak (Barry, Burns, and McNally) was an English pop band formed in 1999. "Back Here" was actually their debut single but it was not a hit then. This is not surprising to me because this song really takes time to be loved. Only after BBMak released their first hit album did “Back Here” become super popular, it climbed to #5 on the UK Singles Chart, and #1 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. I watched the MTV for “Back Here” in YouTube and found the three boys were really cute and their voices together were in great harmony. It is really a great band, but unfortunately they disbanded several years ago. 据说成千上万的女孩子被这三个英国白人男孩迷住了。

翻译:邱敦莲 http://www.kekenet.com/song/31472.shtml Such a feelings coming over me 这种情感萦绕着我, There is wonder in most everything I see 我所见的一切皆如此美妙。 Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes 天空无云,满眼是明媚的阳光。 And I wont be surprised if its a dream 如果这是个梦,我也不会感觉惊奇。 Everything I want the world to be 我希望这世界达成的每一件事, Is now coming true especially for me 特别是于我,现在都变成了现实。 And the reason is clear, its because you are here 道理很明了,那是因为这里有了你。 Youre the nearest thing to heaven that Ive seen 在我眼中,你几乎就是天堂 (你是我所见过的最接近天堂的事物). Im on the top of the world looking down on creation 我在世界万物之上俯身看尘世, And the only explanation I can find Is the love that Ive found ever since youve been around我发现唯一能够解释这一切的是爱。自从有你在身旁, Your loves put me at the top of the world 你的爱使我飞上云端。 Something in the wind has learned my name 似乎有人在风中呼唤我的名字, And its telling me that things are not the same 风儿告诉我,一切都将从此不同。 In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze 那颤动的树叶和轻拂的微风, There a pleasure sense of happiness for me 使我有一种幸福的快感。 There is only one wish on my mind 我心中只有一个愿望: When this day is through I hope that I will find 当今日逝去, That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me 希望你我的明天都将一如今朝。 All I need will be mine if you are here 只要有你在身旁,我就能心想事成 Im on the top of the world looking down on creation 我在世界万物之上俯身看尘世 And the only explanation I can find 我发现唯一能够解释这一切的是爱, Is the love that Ive found ever since youve been around 自从有你在身旁, Your loves put me at the top of the world 你的爱使我飞上云端。 Im on the top of the world looking down on creation 我在世界万物之上俯身看尘世。 And the only explanation I can find 我发现唯一能够解释这一切的是爱, Is the love that Ive found ever since youve been around 自从有你在身旁。 Your loves put me at the top of the world你的爱使我飞上云端。
Note: Lyrics translation is a hard thing because it's difficult to grasp its true meaning. This lyrics Drunk in the Breezewas translated just forpractising. Welcome to comment and suggestion! 翻译:邱敦莲 月色正朦胧 与清风把酒相送 太多的诗颂 醉生梦死也空 和你醉后缠绵 你曾记得 Under the misty moonlight I requestthe breeze to take alongthis cup of wine foryou No matter how many poems Cant bring back the past memory Do you remember the time when we held each other after drunk? 乱了分寸的心动 怎么只有这首歌 会让你轻声合 醉清风 My wild heart beat fast At that moment On ly this song could strike your heart chord We were drunk in the breeze 梦镜的虚有 琴声一曲相送 还有没有情浓 风花雪月颜容 和你醉后缠绵 你曾记得 乱了分寸的心动 In your dream I sing this song for you Can we still have strong feeling towards each other? Can you still remember Those sentimental stories between us? And those days when we held each other after drunk At that time My wild heart beat fast 蝴蝶去向无影踪 举杯消愁意正浓 无人宠 Now all these have disppeared Just asbutterflies fly away without traces A sad sentiment attacks me while I raise the wine cup I feel so sad because no on e cares about me 是我想得太多 犹如飞蛾扑火那么冲动 最后 还有一盏烛火 燃尽我 曲终人散 谁无过错 我看破 I use all my power to love Just as a moth flies towards the fire In the end On ly the candle fire remains And burns me into ashes After the music stops All leave for their own directions Who should be blamed for this? I have experienced too much Gathering and parting are a frequent thing to me!
美丽的天鹅向来是人们赞美的对象。《史记陈涉世家》里讲陈胜在秦末起义前就说过燕雀安知鸿鹄之志话了,这里的鸿鹄当然就是天鹅。后来曹雪芹在《红楼梦》里还创造了一个非常出名的成语:癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉,流传到现在早已是妇孺皆知。 那么国外是怎么看天鹅了呢?这周末的VOA讲述了天鹅在西方的历史。随便找本字典来,找到swan,基本的意思是:天鹅;诗人;歌手。第一个是这个词的本意,那么怎么会有诗人和歌手这样的意思了呢?我们印象里的白天鹅一生基本都是安安静静得浮在水面上,不会像其它鸟儿那样唱出欢快的歌声来。 古希腊的哲人苏格拉底是这样解释的,天鹅们在临死的时候都很高兴,所以它们都会唱起最为动听的歌来;为什么天鹅在临死的时候会高兴了呢,因为它们要去为太阳神阿波罗服务。天鹅是神圣的,它们是神的诗篇,神的歌曲。这个故事可以解释swan这个词的后两个意思。 Swan song 这个成语在英语中也有很长的历史了。它最初指诗人、作家、音乐家最后的作品。现在它可以用来形容任何人最后的努力。Someone's swan song 常常被认为是该人最好的作品。 和swan song 类似的一个成语是 last hurrah。Hurrah有万岁,欢呼之类的意思。这是一个用在政治上的短语,常用来形容最后一次的努力。有的语言学专家指出这一成语源自于美国第七任总统Andrew Jackson选举胜利后其支持者们热烈欢呼的历史。
