Where Do The Children Play

Posted by ChenJian on September 6, 2016

此歌反映了1960年代末涉及的一切问题,战争、城市扩张、贫穷、环境灾难以及人类的未来,Stevens在歌曲中重复演唱着同样的主题

Where Do The Children Play

Well I think it’s fine, building jumbo planes.

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.

Switch on summer from a slot machine.

Get what you want to if you want, ‘cause you can get anything.

I know we’ve come a long way,

We’re changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.

For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.

And you make them long, and you make them tough.

But they just go on and on, and it seems you can’t get off.

Oh, I know we’ve come a long way,

We’re changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.

Will you keep on building higher

‘til there’s no more room up there?

Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?

Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we’ve come a long way,

We’re changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

孩子们在哪儿玩耍

当然我认为如此挺好的,可以建一架巨大的飞机

或者坐上宇宙列车,开始一段旅行

或许向售货机中投下一枚硬币,便迎来浪漫的夏日

如今如果你愿意,你可以获得你渴望的一切,因为你一定可以得到

我明白,我们已经经历过人间百态

我们一天天都在变化

但是,能否告诉我,那些孩子们在哪里玩耍呢?

当然,你可以在鲜嫩的绿地上,穿梭而过

为了行驶在沥青路上,可以不断的添加汽油

道路越铺越长,越行驶越曲折

但是它们似乎就这样的走下去,而你似乎就如此的无法挣脱

我明白,我们已经经历过人间百态

我们一天天都在变化

但是,能否告诉我,那些孩子们在哪里玩耍呢?

当你冲破天际,在天空中留下长长的刮痕

更高的建筑拔地而起

难道直到再也没有任何空间为止么?

你会让我们开怀大笑,或者痛苦流涕么?

你愿意告诉我们,什么时候诞生,什么时候死去么?

我明白,我们已经经历过人间百态

我们一天天都在变化

但是,能否告诉我,那些孩子们在哪里玩耍呢?
