中英歌词

可可网《听歌学英语》栏目。一代民歌宗师 Bob Dylan创作出Blowing in the Wind时候,才二十刚出头。这是他最早的抗议歌曲。他以深具内涵的歌词,对传统观念中的‘男子汉’定义提出了质疑,并且希望世人能以和平而理性的态度来解决争端,不要再对世间的不幸视而不见、听而不闻,更不要再让无辜的人们继续丧生在战火之中。尽管歌曲的时代背景是越战时期的美国社会,但是这首歌的意境却可以说是放诸四海而皆准的。在时代大背景的战争中也好,在平凡如我们的生活琐事中也好,有时候所有问题的答案是如此地其实显而易见,却飘荡在风中无人去倾听。Blowing In the Wind,能给你要的答案吗?
