【听歌练听力】The Dangling Conversation

 

It's a still-life watercolor
Of a now-late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows （   ）the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book （  ）
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of （  ）
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can （  ）be worthwhile?
Is the theater really dead?
And how the room has softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

 

第一次听这首歌，是在颤音兄发在美坛的小说里。很好听的一首歌。附上链接和中文歌词。

《悬摆着的对话》

翻译：颤音
 
一幅水彩静物
画着已近黄昏的下午 
阳光透过窗帘的蕾丝
房里洒满阴影
我们坐下喝着咖啡
蜷缩在我们的淡漠里， 就像岸上的贝壳
你听到海洋的咆哮
在悬摆着的对话里
在肤浅的叹息里
我们生活的界限
 
你读着艾米莉迪金森
我读着罗伯特弗罗斯特
用书签标记读到的地方
那也测量着我们的失落
就像一首糟糕的诗
在切分的节奏里
我们是无律的诗节
是无韵的对句
被悬摆着的对话
和肤浅的叹息
我们生活的界限
 
是的， 我们讲着需要关注的事
说着必须说出的话
“分析值得吗？”
“戏剧真地死了吗？”
而房间怎么就柔缓地褪去
而我只吻到你的影子， 触不到你的手
此刻陌生的你
丢失在悬摆着的对话里
在肤浅的叹息里
在我们生活的界限里

Happy Wednesday! 欢迎大家听歌，在歌词空白处填空。在本主贴下，跟帖写作业。：）

Simon& Garfunkel, must be a great song. Happy hump day!

Indeed. It’s a great song. 那就交个作业呗。哈哈。

Good song! 交作业！~~

washed， marks， rhythm ，an analysis 

WOW 听到Paul说这首歌是他们花时间最长去创作的一首歌，

Glad to know you enjoy it. Great job!

  The answer is very close.

咬字好清晰，听得好清楚。花费最长时间写的歌却不是最好听的歌，感觉一直一个调儿：）交作业：

 

It's a still-life watercolor
Of a now-late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows （wash  ）the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book （markers  ）
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of （rhythm ）
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can （ analysis ）be worthwhile?
Is the theater really dead?
And how the room has softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

 

+1, PPR, 我最近再唱sound of silence感到自己发声进步不用使劲挤了，Paul的发声还挺难学的

先赞一个，这里还”早“，等能用”喇叭“听的时候再好好听哈。

实话实说，写歌的灵感比花费的时间更重要～我怎么找半天找不到PPR的意思。他们的发声共鸣很好，也恭喜你更会发声了～

also like sound of silence, can't sing but tried it on KB.

在一片和谐的叫好声中，专门唱反调儿 PPR=party pooper ,笑坦发明

他们？ 我从来没听到过Garfunkel 的声音

还真有PPR这个词，笑坛的英文水平够高啊，哈哈：）没听过Garfunkel的声音？那么好听的和声难道是一个人唱的？

我说他自己单独发声，很难听出来

很熟悉的歌：）以前经常听他俩的歌。 谢谢盈盈还一直保持这个节目！

1, wash

2, markers

3, rhythm

4, analysis

这个特别清楚，一遍就过：）歌词也写得很好！谢谢盈盈mm主持！交作业！

And shadows （wash ）the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book（markers  ）
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of （rhythm  ）
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said

Can (analysis/analyses) be worthwhile?

不对吧？ sound of silence 是garfunkel 唱主旋律的啊。

赞作业，perfect! 挺好听的歌，我喜欢演唱者的腔调！

用心之作！尤其喜欢这首歌的歌词。

谢谢听歌。在你的早上我打算吃午饭啦。haha

谢谢虫虫交作业，great job! 知道你也喜欢这个节目。下周三有空主持一下听歌吗？：）

握手暖冬mm！我也是特别喜欢歌词，很文艺的感觉。谢谢作业，great job ！

谢谢第一个交作业，棒棒哒！：））

Sure? I will check again, I thought always Paul Simon

Some their well-known songs were sung by him.

And it was said Paul had some grudges against him because of that :) Paul wrote almost all their songs.

Garfunkel's well-known for his angelic voice. 

What is it about? They need to go out and climb a hill :-)

Really confuses me, just found 2 of their concerts live,

Paul lead both singings anyway/gad 2 c'em reunited @old age

喜欢他们的歌、他们的和声！

这歌还真没听过，谢谢分享！

试交作业：wash, markers. rhyme, analysis

Happy Wednesday

Yes. It's confusing. I have to listen very carefully to tell

which voice is Paul's and which one is Art's. 

谢谢盈盈! 我现在工作忙，担心不能及时回帖。抱歉啊：）

丽丽好:）开心在这里看到你！

我还真不知道他俩各自的擅长，现在了解了：D

嗯， Paul的声音也很好。后来他自己solo 也发展得不错的。他的歌词特别好。

我以前去看过Garfunkel的个人演唱会，那时他已经六十多了， 声音还是不错的。

There is another one similar: wet blanket.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I really don't think this is going to work. 

哈哈，第一次听这个词，学习了。我一直觉得兼听则明：）

丽丽好:）开心在这里看到你！ - 甜虫虫 -

Happy Wednesday！高兴丽丽来一起玩！作业全对，perfect! 拉手。我也是很喜欢他们这首歌。和声好听！

没事儿。等有空再说。

Bridge Over Troubled Water and For Emily are two of his solo
