在冰雪覆盖的季节,世界变得格外静谧。你是否曾幻想过自己堆的雪人会活过来,在神秘的夜晚拉着你漫步云端,俯瞰万家灯火,探索世界的秘密?著名插画家雷蒙德·布里格斯创作的脍炙人口的绘本《雪人》讲述的就是这样的故事。1982年,这个绘本被改编成动画片, 《漫步云端》这首主题曲也应运而生。时光虽飞逝,经典永流传,每年圣诞节,这首歌曲几乎都会在英国播放,成为当地圣诞传统的一部分。布里格斯曾在采访中说:“(它)触及到了人们内心的普遍感受:我们都有关心、在乎的人,而他们也许会消失或离开。”就让我们跟随空灵的歌声走进故事,和雪人一起冒险,也坦然接受它的融化与离开。
小挑战:欣赏歌曲,并参考歌词大意,将歌曲补充完整。
Were walking in the air
Were floating in the moonlit ______
The people far below are sleeping as we ______
Im holding very tight
Im riding in the midnight
Im finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like ______
The forests and the hills
The rivers and the streams
Children gaze, open mouth, taken by surprise
Nobody down below, believes their eyes
Were surfing in the air
Were swimming in the frozen sky
Were drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
Were walking in the air
Were dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
歌詞大意
我们漫步云端,
我们漂浮在流淌的月光里,
我们飞过时,人们正在下方沉睡。
我紧紧拉着你,
穿过午夜的蓝色海洋,
与你同行,竟已经飞得如此之高!
远远地穿越世界,
村庄如梦一般略过。
飞过片片森林,跨越座座山峦,
飞越条条河流与溪水。
孩子们驻足凝望,惊奇地张大了嘴,
地上的人们都不敢相信他们的眼睛!
我们在空中滑翔,
在寒冷的天空中遨游,
还越过了漂浮的冰山。
突然又俯冲入蔚蓝深海,
惊醒了沉睡的巨大海怪。
我们漫步云端,
我们在夜空中起舞,
人人都向飞翔的我们问好。
