翻聽Bob Dylan的《Desolation Row》湧起一股莫名的觸動,感覺就像走過了一條漫長的荒涼之路。頭兩句不知怎的讓我想到最近的香港:
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
They’re painting the passports brown
他們販售吊刑的名信片
他們把護照髹成啡色
然後我便分外留神聽接下來發生甚麼事:
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They’ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they’re restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row
美髮店擠滿了水手
馬戲團就在城後
然後來了一個特首
他們將他發入吽竇
一隻手綁住走鋼線高手
另一隻插在褲袋裡頭
還有防暴警察全在煩躁無休
他們需要某個地方抖抖
像這位小姐和我遍夜尋求
由荒涼之路口
然後找到哪裡去?似乎是酒館。
Cinderella, she seems so easy
“It takes one to know one,” she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he’s moaning
“You Belong to Me I Believe”
And someone says, “You’re in the wrong place my friend
You better leave”
And the only sound that’s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row
灰姑娘,她似乎幾開放
「講嗰個就係嗰個。」佢笑咗
然後將雙手插進後袋
貝蒂戴維斯的風格
然後來了個羅密歐,佢喺度呻吟
「你係屬於我㗎我相信!」
然後有人話:「你來錯地方喇朋友,
你最好離開。」
然後唯一留低的聲音
在救護車走了之後
是灰姑娘的掃地聲
在荒涼之道上
我很喜歡這一種講故事的歌,因為這才叫做「吟遊」。當現在的歌失去了這種吟遊性,就空餘下一堆感質。我們已經不再用灰姑娘來形容負責打掃地方的女人,我喜歡這樣的形容,但設定跟原著是反轉的:掃完地,一到十二點,她就準時穿回自己的玻璃鞋。
然後已經好夜好夜了:
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortune-telling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing
He’s getting ready for the show
He’s going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row
現在月亮就快都看不見
繁星也開始隱淡
占卜未來的女人
甚已將她的所有東西收起
所有除了該隱和亞伯
以及聖母院的鐘樓佗俠
人人都在做愛
或其餘的在等雨
然後有個好撒馬利亞人,他在換裝
他已經準備好出騷
今晚他將會前往嘉年華
在荒涼之道上
突然輪到《哈姆雷特》的女主角奧菲利亞登場:
Now Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession’s her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah’s great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row
現在奧菲利亞,她就倚在窗旁
我真為她擔心
在她廿二歲生日時
她已經是一個老女僕
對她,死亡是幾浪漫
她穿了一件鐵的背心
信仰就是她的自白
白活就是她的罪名
雖然她已定睛望着上方
那道挪亞的偉大彩虹
但她仍是費上時間來偷望
那條荒涼之路
而你有沒有聽過愛恩斯坦拉小提琴?這一個卻不是那一個,因為他太潦倒了:
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row
愛恩斯坦扮成羅賓漢
帶着他車尾廂的回憶
在一小時前才經過這裡
和他的朋友、來自善妒寺的僧侶
他看起來不染得可怕
尤其在他討煙的時候
接着他走去嗅着水喉
叨唸着字母
現在你不會想望到他
但好耐之前他都風光過
奏着電子提琴
在那荒涼之路
從荒涼到荒淫?
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They’re trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She’s in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
“Have Mercy on His Soul”
They all play on pennywhistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row
猥褻醫生,他將他的世界
藏在一隻皮杯裡
但他所有無性的病人
他們正嘗試吹起它
現在他的護士,某個本地的失敗者
她是山埃孔的話事人
而她亦藏了一張卡片寫着
「願主垂憐他的靈魂」
他們全都玩着尖哨
你可以聽到他們在吹
如果你把頭傾得夠遠
從荒涼之道
卡薩諾瓦是意大利聞名的詩人情聖,這一段特別令我着迷:
Across the street they’ve nailed the curtains
They’re getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They’re spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they’ll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom’s shouting to skinny girls
“Get Outa Here If You Don’t Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row”
對面街他們已釘上帷幕
他們已準備好一場盛宴
《歌聲魅影》
牧師的完美形象
他們用湯匙向卡薩諾瓦灌藥
讓他稍為有安全感
然後他們用自信來殺掉他
之前用文字毒害他
然後魅影向瘦削的女孩們喊道:
「如果你不知道就請你們離開
卡薩諾瓦已經受罪因他
前往荒涼之道。」
接下來這一段,我懷疑是在描寫納粹的集中營:
Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row
現在午夜所有特工
和超人類團隊
出來圍住了所有人
因為知道了不該知道的
然後把他們帶到工廠
那裡有心臟病機器
綁在他們的肩膊上
然之後那煤油
從城堡裡帶下來
有人會以防萬一
檢查一下看看是否無人能逃
逃往荒涼之路
Bob Dylan這首歌可能戲仿了英國詩人ES艾略特的長詩《荒原》,這首詩的一大特色是沒有人能看懂一個字——每個字都懂,湊起來卻不成意思。之前跟大家介紹過的艾茲拉龐德,勉強把《荒原》翻改成可讀的版本,加了很多註腳,務求令世人讀得通它的真意。這個情節,Bob Dylan也收錄在《Desolation Row》第九節裡面:
Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody’s shouting
“Which Side Are You On?”
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain’s tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row
讚美歸於尼祿的海王星
鐵達尼啟程於黎明
而每個人都發出喊聲
「你到底站哪一邊?」
而艾茲拉龐和ES艾略
在船長的塔上決鬥
卡利索普歌手取笑他們
漁民手執鮮花
在大海的窗戶之間
那裡有可愛的美人魚流過
此際沒有人想太多
關於那荒涼之路
是的,Bob Dylan是在模仿ES艾略特式的混亂,而在最後一節揭曉了混亂的原因:
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the doorknob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they’re quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can’t read too good
Don’t send me no more letters, no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
係呀,我尋日收到你嘅信
(大概在門鎖壞了的時候)
你問我最近過成怎樣
是一個需要笑的笑話嗎?
全部這些你所提及的人
係呀,我知道佢哋,佢哋都幾無趣
我需要重新構建他們的臉容
給他們全都搞混了名字
此際我已經不太擅於閱讀
不要再寄更多的信給我了,不要
除非它們是你寄自
於荒涼之路
聽過這麼多段,就像走完了一段漫長的荒涼的路,有一種想哭的感覺。Bob Dylan的音樂經常都給予的這種荒涼感,只有經歷很多的人才會有這種感覺,寫得出這種詞,流下了這滴淚。

美中「新」貿易戰
最終得利是亞太?
開啟「接收通知」和「搶先看」每天吸收雙語時事新知
來讀華爾街日報獨家
🔥 Meet the New Trade War. It’s Not the Same as the Old Trade War.
美中新貿易戰恐拉開序幕,劇情料有所不同
🤔 The president on Wednesday said that he was “watching closely” to see if China was living up to trade-deal commitments to purchase large quantities of American goods, and could know one way or another within weeks.
川普於上周三表示,他正在「密切關注」中國是否有履行貿易協議,購買大量的美國商品,且無論如何會在數周內知曉實際情況。
- watch closely 密切關注
✍️ watch也常表示「監視;注意」的意思,watch closely就是常見的相關表達,可別誤以為是「很近的看」囉
- live up to 無愧於、實踐,這邊指的是中國「確實履行」當初的貿易承諾
- one way or another 以某種方式/無論如何,無論怎樣
✏️That was followed Thursday by Chinese trade data showing a surge of exports in April and falling imports. In yuan terms, imports from the U.S. were down 3% in the first four months of the year compared with the same period last year, according to China’s customs administration, not exactly what President Trump wants to see.
隨後,中國在上周四公布的貿易數據中顯示,4月出口大幅增長,進口則下降。中國海關總署的數據顯示,以人民幣計算,今年頭四個月從美國的進口較上年同期下降3%,而這並非川普所樂見的。
- surge 遽增,急遽上升
- yuan 元(中國標準貨幣單位)
✍️另外一個常見的是日圓:Japanese yen
- customs 海關
✍️ custom 是風俗、習慣之意,當「海關」時注意要加”s”喔
😯The stage seems set for a renewed flare-up in trade tensions. But the drama could play out differently this time. The trade war of 2018 and 2019 did damage China, but not enough to elicit meaningful changes to its mercantilist industrial policy.
美中貿易的緊張局勢似乎將再度升溫,但這一次,劇情可能有所不同。2018年和2019年的貿易戰確實對中國造成了衝擊,但還不足以促使該國對其重商主義的產業政策做出有意義的變革。
- flare-up (暴力、疼痛或憤怒)爆發,突發,加劇
- elicit 引出,探出,誘出(尤指資訊或反應)
- mercantilist 重商主義
未完待續...
其實這場美中貿易戰
將讓亞太其他國家得利?

#FoodIdiom #bread
🍞美國生活用語:食物篇又來了──與麵包🥖 bread有關的諺語
還記得乳製品的英文怎麼說嗎😏 可以在文章裡面找找看喔!
1⃣ Bread is the staff of life.
2⃣ Man does not live by bread alone.
3⃣ earn one’s daily bread
4⃣ take the bread out of sb.’s mouth
5⃣ break bread
--
After covering dairy products, it’s time to move on to another kind of food—bread. Bread has long been a staple of the Western diet since ancient times, so of course it has made its way into all kinds of proverbs and idioms.
聊完乳製品之後,我們來聊聊另一種食品:麵包。自古以來,麵包一直是西方飲食不可或缺的主食,所以跟麵包相關的諺語與生活用語想必也不少。
Let’s start with a proverb that has its origins in the Bible: 1⃣ Bread is the staff of life. If you’re picturing someone using a baguette as a staff to walk with, it may give you a sense of the proverb’s meaning: bread is what supports us in our lives, or provides us with sustenance. But bread here is also a symbol of all food, so the real meaning is that one must eat in order to survive. Ex: I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.
先來看一個源自《聖經》的諺語:Bread is the staff of life.(麵包是生命的拐杖。)想像一下用法國麵包當做拐杖走路的樣子,大概就能理解這句諺語的意思:麵包是支持生活的必需品,供給我們營養。不過麵包在這裡也是象徵所有食物之意,所以真正的意思是「民以食為天」。如:I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.(我知道你很忙,但別忘了吃飯啊,民以食為天。)
Another proverb with Biblical origins: 2⃣Man does not live by bread alone. Here, bread means “food and shelter.” So the proverb means that beyond their physical needs, people also need mental or spiritual sustenance. Ex: He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.
另一個諺語也是出自《聖經》:Man does not live by bread alone.(人活著不只是為了溫飽。)bread在這句話中指的是「食物與住所」。因此,這個諺語要人們超越生理需求、滋養心靈。如:He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.(他或許很富有,但是人活著不是只為了溫飽。)
Since bread is a symbol for sustenance, there are also idioms like 3⃣ “earn one’s daily bread,” which means “make a living.” Ex: The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver. 4⃣ And “take the bread out of sb.’s mouth” means to deprive them of their means of living. Ex: Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.
因為麵包是食物的象徵,所以也有如earn one’s daily bread這樣的片語,指「維持生計」。如:The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver.(這個男人當計程車司機維持生計。)而take the bread out of sb.’s mouth則是指「搶某人飯碗」,如:Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.(減薪對員工而言是剝奪了他們的飯碗。)
5⃣ And finally there’s “break bread.” Can you guess what it means? It means to have a meal. In the old days, a family would share a loaf of bread at each meal, and everyone would break off pieces to eat. Ex: It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.
最後來看看break bread這個短語。猜猜看,這是什麼意思?答案是「吃飯」。古時候的家庭,每餐都有一條麵包分給全家人,每個人會掰一塊麵包來吃。如:It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.(我已經很久沒跟麥可吃頓飯了。)

///Song Lyrics
I’m never the same
還是一直變
yeah I changed the game 華語嘻哈圈 Ever since 無限
小雨來的不是時候 還是多愁善感 bout下雨天
但我爺爺小時候就教我 大頭大頭下雨不愁 now I just make it rain
Flowing like 安卓三千 來自下個千禧年
ATLien 先馳得點的先知
I see the future like Mary with my 千里眼
天之驕子的天資
再加上堅持到底的偏執
外加上顏值 到底老天是否太明顯的偏心
one in a billion
maybe沒有話語霸權
林北有BAR的霸權
意思是either u love me or hate me when I drop them BARS
你逼不得已 gotta listen (facts!)
what's poppin I’m hopping on pop charts
把餅畫大 圈粉帶回嘻哈圈
剛唱完小巨蛋同一晚find me at 公館水管音樂moshing
Bitch why u sobbing
在那邊抱怨 說我太主流了 好了啦
我隨便一個主流跨刀 都能讓你主打歌命喪我刀下
說我太商業 不夠underground
cus I’m on top man
堅持不降價錢
天天過年 每場當做在唱跨年 (早跟你說過了!)
火大了 sending shots like 喝乾啦
Flow hotter than哪吒的
Got a whole lotta gold locked up in my vault
gotta go harder than my role model 羅大佑
Roll another 大的 yo
嗨大了
我普攻
你就以為開大了
絕世武功
該害怕了
像有開掛的
Jedi Knight Sky walker
My god
叫我嗆金曲評審 太瞎了
您別挨罵了
Why bother
U already know know I’m higher brother
My 思維 is out of control
Out of this world さようなら
This that 奧林匹亞等級高速運作
奧林匹克等級高級動作
花式比劃 honey 哩跨隆沒
大師級畫作 灑脫潑墨
傻了你懷疑我拍子跑拍
像跟莎士比亞說你文法用錯
你分不清我的真假動作
就像我分不清我的真假朋友
被我當眾戳破他說「真假?」
bro你反應真假 你所謂的真 假得真假
不經一事 不長一智
但不好意思 我還是不可一世
不合時宜 什麼意思
這首沒有跟你要有副歌的意思
不讓你附和的意思
整個超過你能夠負荷的意思
i’m too good的意思
KTV只能開原唱 看我獨秀的意思
我一枝獨秀 又一直突破
一絲不苟 flow 一滴不漏
氣勢如虹 got them bitches all shook
No hook shit got them bitches all hooked
No new friends me & rgry
沆瀣一氣
Going stupid aw silly me
Flow too sick 絡繹不絕 需要隔離衣
lil loser on that PTT talking bullshit 我芙蓉出水
當眾處決 遇到true MC 嚇到補血 需要康乃馨
na mean
叫我
Bully的bully我 不理解為何有這麼多的
pussy網路裡面 自以為自己有多了不起
Usually注意力不值得處理你但我有天
看著那些初級班的 菜雞在那互啄
看了一個下午feelin like a 公園裡的阿伯
Kind of funny how u 為了你的五斗米能
匯到你的戶頭裡能跪的像個扶不起的阿斗
太多饒舌歌手 連八個八都落的七零八落
killem all
扳機一口 殺了八十八個BAR u can call this殺雞儆猴
(88BARS baby take them way back to the basics
I’m back from my hiatus)
