我译的“Magic and Loss”

赞!!
我没有仔细看过这词儿,就是听的时候听懂那么几句
when you pass through the fire.似乎只记得这么一句
这是写lou的好朋友死了,被送进火化炉的时候,他的感觉
一会儿仔细看下

记得有次冬天听,歌声后面的提琴,一声声的,让我的心都碎了.好象真的进火化炉了,什么都不用要了

说句题外的,我最近不能这么悲伤.当然,这跟歌曲无关.对于现在的我来说,悄悄欣赏它一下就好,不要真陷进去.
毕竟,lou,他也是作为旁观者来冷静的叙述,他不会大声赞叹什么.
再况且,他唱这歌的时候都50岁了,而我25还不到嘞

"Magic And Loss - The Summation"
================================
album _Magic And Loss_
(Lou Reed, 1992)

written by Lou Reed/Mike Rathke
================================


        When you pass through the fire
        you pass through humble
        you pass through a maze of self doubt
        When you pass through humble
        the lights can blind you
        some people never figure that out

        You pass through arrogance
        you pass through hurt
        you pass through an ever present past
        And it's best not to wait for luck to save you
        pass through the fire to the light

        Pass through the fire to the light
        pass through the fire to the light
        It's best not to wait for luck to save you
        pass through the fire to the light

        As you pass through the fire
        your right hand waving
        there are things you have to throw out
        That caustic dread inside your head
        will never help you out

        You have to be very strong
        'cause you'll start from zero
        over and over again
        And as the smoke clears
        there's an all consuming fire
        lying straight ahead

        Lying straight ahead
        lying straight ahead
        As the smoke clears
        there's an all consuming fire
        lying straight ahead

        They say no one person can do it all
        but you want to in your head
        But you can't be Shakespeare
        and you can't be Joyce
        so what is left instead

        You're stuck with yourself
        and a rage that can hurt you
        you have to start at the beginning again
        And just this moment
        this wonderful fire
        started up again

        When you pass through humble
        when you pass through sickly
        when you pass through I'm better than you all
        When you pass through anger
        and self deprecation
        and have the strength to acknowledge it all

        When the past makes you laugh
        and you can savor the magic
        that let you survive your own war
        You find that that fire is passion
        and there's a door up ahead not a wall

        As you pass through fire
        as you pass through fire
        try to remember its name
        When you pass through fire
        licking at your lips
        you cannot remain the same

        And if the building's burning
        move towards that door
        but don't put the flames out
        There's a bit of magic in everything
        and then some loss to even things out

        Some loss to even things out
        some loss to even things out
        There's a bit of magic in everything
        and then some loss to even things out




看了下,太难,太长,生词儿忒多
不过,这句:As you pass through the fire  your right hand waving  there are things you have to throw out
我觉得可以这样翻译:挥挥手,扔掉眷恋
可没有丢盔弃甲的意思,那个要进火化炉的人并不是失败者

紧跟步伐！

闻道有先后,术业有专攻.
共同探讨:)

好！
感激涕零！

我也是工科的，工科生牛！

我好凑热闹。字体颜色有病，总弄不好，我不是故意的。
humble好难理解，还有最后一段真神经病。

好啊！总算引来了玉

恩，我晚上也想尝试翻译一下。。。
很多词语有双重意思，不好直译。
最后一段晓初翻的挺好的，应该是“不要扑灭火”，而不是“不要让火出来”

你走过烈火，走过卑微，走过自我怀疑的眩晕。你走过卑微，那光亮使你目眩，但人们却不会注意到它。你走过傲慢，走过伤害，走过过往的一切，也没有必要期待什么幸运的拯救了，走过烈火前方就是曙光。曙光就在烈火的前方。
你走过烈火，轻轻挥手，把所有一切就此扔掉，你脑中的那些刻薄的恐惧不会再帮助你了。你要变的非常强壮，因为你将又一次从零开始。当烟火消散时，前方只剩残余灰烬。只有残余灰烬。
他们都说没有人能完成它，你却说你想要自己去尝试。但你既不是莎士比亚，也不是乔伊斯，不知道你脑子里会有什么来取代。你一直在和自己搏斗，这些暴力也在伤害着你，而现在你又要从头再来了。就是现在，随着这些烈火，从头再来。
伴随一些吉他噪音，从头再来。
你走过卑微，走过病痛，走过那些强于任何人的高傲。你也走过愤怒，走过自我祈祷，终于有力量能承认这一切。过去，它使你发笑，让你去品味魔法，并使你在那些自我战争中幸免遇难。你明白，这烈火不过是激情，大火前方还有一扇门，而不是死胡同。
你走过烈火，走过无数烈火，尝试去想它的名字。当你真去走向烈火，你舔了下嘴唇，却不会去复述它。身体已经在燃烧了，灵魂冲向大门，不要去想要扑灭大火了。万事皆有魔法，以及那些隐藏其后的失落。失落，隐藏其后。
就像那些低音吉他与隆隆鼓声，隐藏其后，而你现在终于发现了它。

有些地方我希望翻译的更有趣一点儿
