The Sound of Silence 静默之声Simon & GarfunkelHello darkness, my old friend你好黑暗，我的老伙计I've come to talk with you again我又来和你海阔天空神侃Because a vision softly creeping因为有个影子悄悄潜入Left its seeds while I was sleeping趁我熟睡埋下了它的种子And the vision that was planted in my brain这影子根植于我的大脑里Still remain至今还留在with in the sound of silence静默之声的地盘中In restless dreams I walked alone在不安的梦境中我独自游荡Narrow streets of cobblestone鹅卵石的街道狭窄幽长Neath the halo of a street lamp在一盏街灯的光晕下I turned my collar to the cold and damp我竖起衣领抵挡寒冷潮湿When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light就在我的眼睛被一盏霓虹灯的闪光刺穿的同时That split the night光芒划破了夜空And touched the sound of silence触动了静默之声And in the naked light I saw在孱弱的烛光中我看到Ten thousand people, maybe more成千上万的人们，或许更多People talking without speaking人们缄口却倾述心声People hearing without listening人们罔闻却声声贯耳People writing songs that voices never share人们写歌却从没嗓音分享And no one dare disturb the sound of silence静默之声没人敢打扰"Fools" said I, "You do not know“傻瓜透顶”，我说，“你见识不长Silence like a cancer grows”静默像癌症一样生长”Hear my words that I might teach you有益的教诲你当听取Take my arms that I might reach you有助的臂膀你该挽起But my words like silent as raindrops fell话语如雨滴悄然落下And echoed in the wells of silence在静默的源泉中久久回荡And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.人们向自己塑造的霓虹神灵膜拜祈祷And the sign flashed out its warning告示牌上闪烁出神灵的警告And the words that it was forming若隐若现显示成行And the sign said:告示牌上这样写道："The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls“先贤们的箴言涂鸦在地铁的大墙and tenement halls以及公寓走廊上And whispered in the sound of silence."在静默之声中流传远扬”
