2007年2月26日第79届奥斯卡落幕，又是许多好看的电影榜上有名。大家有没有注意到，这次获奖电影有一个共同的主题：在冲突与迷失中挣扎。精选了8首耳熟能详的经典英文歌曲，从一个小角度走近那些获奖大片所诠释的悲喜人生——Let's go!
（一）理想与现实
——《追梦女郎》（Dreamgirls）（最佳女配角，最佳音响效果）
——推荐歌曲《Born To Try 》（点击收听）
电影描述的是三个怀有梦想、饱含激情的年轻女孩成长奋斗最终成为知名艺人的历程，与澳洲歌手Delta Goodrem的《生为拼搏》有太多异曲同工之处：守得云开才能见月明，成功永远属于那些坚持不懈的人……
有些人不想当明星都不行，就如星光灿烂的澳洲小天后Delta Goodrem（黛尔塔•古德莱姆）——
7岁轻松打进娱乐圈，为澳洲电视台拍广告并亮相于各类电视娱乐节目。12岁用自己挣来的钱自制个人唱片，其中包括五首自创作品和一首由黛尔塔本人演唱的澳大利亚国歌，唱片后被她邮寄给自己喜爱的足球队the Sydney Swans（“悉尼天鹅队”）。“天鹅队”遂充当伯乐，把这匹千里马碟转交给他们的铁杆球迷兼经纪人Glenn Wheatley。

Born to try Delta Goodrem
生为拼搏 黛尔塔•古德莱姆
Doing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I've been taught
More understanding of what's around me
And protected from the walls of love
心中的信仰是我行动的源泉
他人的教导是我行事的准则
我要更多地了解这个世界
并在爱的呵护下成长
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
（我相信）你的眼里全是我
我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你只能舍弃所爱
But I was born to try
生为拼搏
No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture
说你本该如何毫无意义
日子也不能靠懊悔来延续
生活时有阴差阳错，有些事命中注定
拨开云雾方能见明月
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
（我相信）你的眼里全是我
我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你只能舍弃所爱
But I was born to try
生为拼搏
All that you see is me
All I truly believe
All that you see is me
（我相信）你的眼里全是我
（我相信）你的眼里全是我
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你必须只能舍弃所爱
But I was born to try
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
生为拼搏
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你必须只能舍弃所爱
（二）堕落与拯救

（三）家庭与社会
——《阳光小美女》（Little Miss Sunshine）（最佳男配角，最佳原创剧本）
——推荐歌曲《Heal The World 》（点击收听）
事业处于低谷的爸爸，就要和爸爸离婚的妈妈，自闭的哥哥，吸毒的爷爷，同性恋的邻居……相比之下，电影《阳光小美女》里，只有那个明明算不上美女、却一定要去参加选美的小姑娘还正常些。可就是这个执着的小女孩，以她那温暖的气息，融化了家中的每一个人。——以迈克尔-杰克逊的《治愈世界》为这部电影作注解再合适不过：你心中有个角落，爱在生长；在这里，你感觉不到伤害或悲哀，多营造一些空间，让世界变得更美好…… 
[mp=0]http://www.bz128.com/m/01.mp3[/mp]
歌手：Michael Jackson 专辑：Dangerous
Heal The World
Michael Jackson
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place ...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place ...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place ...
（四）功利与道德：
——《难以忽视的真相》（An Inconvenient Truth）（最佳原创电影歌曲，最佳纪录片）
——推荐歌曲《I Need To Wake Up 》（点击收听）
I need to move, I need to wake up, I need to change
I need to shake up, I need to speak out. Something is got to break up
我该行动，我该醒来，我该改变
我该惊醒，我该说出。有些状态该被打破
已加入的专栏: 英文歌曲
《我该醒来》是美国电影《难以忽视的真相》（An Inconvenient Truth）片尾曲，2007年2月26日刚刚揭晓的第79届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲获奖金曲。
环境保护已经成为关系人类生存状况的大问题，这已是所有人的共识。为电影创作的歌曲《我该醒来》发自内心地为良知呼喊：我不是沧海中的荒岛，我并不孤单，我已沉睡很久，我该去倾听真相……
一部环保主义电影的插曲，一个女歌手沙哑嗓音的呼唤也能有如此的震撼感觉：漠视很久的我们该清醒，该行动了，我们并不孤单，去倾听那并不舒服的真相…… 
[mp=0]http://liudao.cn/music/Melissa_Etheridge%20_I_Need_To_Wake_Up.mp3[/mp]
I Need To Wake Up
Melissa Etheridge
Have I been sleeping?
I've been so still afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?
Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I can't see
Cause I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something is got to break up
I've been asleep and I need to wake up now
And as a child I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
But the promise of this new world would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth
Well I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something is got to break up
I've been asleep and I need to wake up now
I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone
And I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something is got to break up
I've been asleep and I need to wake up now
（五）隔绝与融通
——《通天塔》（Babel）（最佳配乐）
——推荐歌曲《Sound Of Silence 》（点击收听）
通天塔又名巴别塔，是出自《圣经》的典故：上帝因为人类就要修成通天塔而让人们学会说不同语言，无法交流。电影中，在异域文化的氛围中，失去信任感的人们变得不知所措而无法沟通，很像1965年电影《毕业生》的插曲《沉默之声》所描绘的一个人人自行其道的世界——霓虹灯的微芒中，人与人之间的真诚不复存在——正如本片导演的名言：真正的边界就存在于我们的内心里……
１９６８年奥斯卡影帝达斯汀．霍夫曼主演的电影《毕业生》，是６０，７０年代美国年轻人最喜爱看的电影之一。
这部电影除了影片本身非常出色以外，电影中的配乐和歌曲也是堪称经典。电影原声专辑是由美国著名的民谣组合保罗。西蒙与加芬克尔负责制作的。专辑中的《寂静之声》、《斯卡布罗集市》都是广为流传，深入人心的经典歌曲。
《寂静之声》旋律飘缓低迷，歌词充满了一种幻觉般的意境，细细听来，仿佛在应该说着年轻人无助的一种宣泄。眼前似乎看到一个懵懂无知的女孩，独自一人行走在鹅卵石的狭窄、清冷的小巷里，喧嚣的人群在她身后渐渐远去，前面是没有尽头的黑夜．．．．．．这首歌曲尤其适合在静静的夜晚聆听，一种隐晦，一种轻柔，一种空灵悠然而生． [mp=0]http://www.lzqzj.com/dyy/外国歌曲/被风吹过的夏天.mp3[/mp]
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping
and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains with in the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone ‘neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
that split the night and touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voice never share
and no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
“Fools” said I,
“You do not know silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the well of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.”
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
（六）理智与情感
——《女王》（The Queen）（最佳女主角）
——推荐歌曲《Candle In The Wind 1997 》（点击收听）
不是为了消遣，而是为了怀念。这首1997年9月发行、为缅怀戴安娜王妃而作的单曲，发行一周内的销量就超过350万张。——灰姑娘的童话随着一次车祸戛然而止，就像林花谢了春红，太匆匆。“再见了，英国玫瑰，愿你永远盛开在我们心中”，“我们将永怀你悲悯的呵护，远比你知道的更多”。——用词很大，大而有当，对一位多有义举的平民王妃。 [mp=0]http://resource.yqedu.com.cn/statics/zxxtb2/czpd/tbfd/c3yy/c3yy02/sounds/Candle%20in%20the%20wind.MP3[/mp]
Candle In The Wind 1997《风中之烛1997》~~献给王妃黛安娜的英文歌
Elton John
Goodbye England's Rose, may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before; your legend ever will.
Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child.
And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears;
All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before; your legend ever will.
Goodbye England's Rose, may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.
Goodbye England's Rose, from a country lost without your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before; your legend ever will.
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.
你就是在颠沛顿挫的人们中显现的恩惠。
never fading with the sunset when the rain set in.
即使大雨倾盆，风中烛光永不随夕阳沉没而褪色。
Your candle has burned out long before; your legend ever will.
你的生命虽然像风中之烛已经熄灭，但你的传奇会永存。

Wind Of Change
Scorpions
I follow the Moskva, down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in. Did you ever think
that we could be so close like brothers
The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
Walking down the street,
Distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva, down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will meit away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows......
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you...
That a hero lies in you......
