=(My heart wants)to sing all night like a lark who is learning to pray.

lark:百灵科鸣禽,尤指云雀(any of several small songbirds,esp.the skylark)。有人将lark译为“夜莺”(nightingale),但a nightingale is a small reddishbrown bird of the thrush family,the male of which sings tunefully by night as well as by day.

She goes to the mountains when she lacks inspiration.她没有灵感时便来到山里。

10.I know I will hear what I’ve heard before.

what I have heard before是宾语从句,作hear的宾语。

再如:

I will know what happened to her when I get there.我一到那儿便会知道她发生了什么事。

11.My heart will be blessed with the sound of music.

例如:

He blessed the people.他求神赐福给人们。

The priest blessed the bread and wine.牧师将饼和酒净化。

We bless God.我们颂扬上帝。

12.And I’ll sing once more.

=And with the blessing of the hills alive with the sound of music,I know I’ll be able to sing once more.

【赏析】

如果你仔细观察,冷静分析,你会发现这个世界是由万物及万物发出的声响组成的。各种声响皆有节奏,各种节奏皆成音乐,各种音乐汇成大自然美妙的交响曲。电影《音乐之声》中同名歌曲只是对大自然之交响作了一个小小的总结。

群山因为有了音乐而充满盎然生机,山中的一切仿佛都有了灵魂,都活了起来。歌声在群山中千年回荡。山高水长,歌声悠扬。山之音乐与心之音乐在热爱生活、热爱自然的人们心中合一,正是有了音乐做媒,人与天汇成一体。这种天人合一,物我交融通过歌声进行更好的沟通。大自然所唱也是人们心灵所向往的妙曲。那颗心想插翅高飞,从湖面飞到树梢上,这个从地上一跃而起的高飞意象具有很强的动感和立体感。这是一个催人向上的意象。那颗心想像钟声送鸣一样送吹欣喜之气,乘清风飞扬,随清风飘逸,把欢快之音乐向各处吹散,把欣喜之情传遍。那颗心想像小溪一样欢笑。小溪跳石穿缝,一路流淌,这是一种欢乐无穷、勇往直前的意象。那颗心像云雀学祈祷,彻夜苦练,唱个不歇。这是一个时间意象,彻夜歌唱,乐不知疲。群山给主人公带来的就是这样的心境。

这群山之交响,这自然之合唱,还能医治心灵的创伤。每当主人公感到寂寞,心情不适时,她便走向群山,因为群山会给她音乐,她心中便又歌声荡漾,她要再次放声歌唱。

在影片中,玛丽亚一出场唱的便是这段对大自然的赞歌。这段对大自然的诵唱还恢复了冯·特拉普上校死去的心,这歌声使他重新对生活抱有希望,对爱情有了重新考虑,使他因妻子去世而久已冷漠的心田开始复苏。他意识到了给这家庭带来歌声、和谐、欢乐和爱心的玛丽亚的价值。他爱上了她。音乐的美妙与和谐产生他们之间的爱情和结合。从此上校重新找到欢乐,重新唱起欢快的歌。

世间万物皆有欢歌,歌声启迪人们的心灵,歌声使天人合一,给万物带来和谐。

假如世界上没有了音乐,假如人们生活中没有了歌声,谁能说得清世界将会变成什么样子?人们的生活是否还有乐趣?

Only Yesterday

After long enough of being alone,

Every one must face

Their share of loneliness.

In my own time nobody knew

The pain I was going through,

And waiting was all

My heart could do.

Hope was all I had until you came.

Maybe you can’t see

How much you mean to me.

You were the dawn

Breaking the night,

The promise of morning light,

Filling the world surrounding me.

When I hold you,

Baby,baby feels like baby,

Things will be all right.

Baby,baby,you’re as baby,

Free as a song

Singing forever.

Only yesterday when I was sad

And I was lonely,

You showed me the way

To leave the past

And all its tears behind me.

Tomorrow may be even brighter

Than today,

Since I threw my sadness away,

Only yesterday.

I found my home here in your arms.

Nowhere else on earth

I really rather be.

Life waits for us,share it with me.

The best is about to be.

So much is left for us to see.

When I hold you,

Baby,baby feels like baby,

Things will be all right.

Baby,baby,you’re as baby,

Free as a song

Singing forever.

Only yesterday when I was sad

And I was lonely,

You showed me the way

To leave the past

And all its tears behind me.

Tomorrow may be even brighter

Than today,

Since I threw my sadness away,

Only yesterday.

Only yesterday,only yesterday,

When I was sad

And I was lonely.

You showed me the way

To leave the past

And all its tears behind me.

Tomorrow may be even brighter

Than today,

Since I threw my sadness away,

Only yesterday.
