5月12日，原本是個(gè)很平常的日子。然而，2008年的這一天，卻成為了將被人們銘記的日子。在此紀(jì)念“5.12汶川大地震”之際，特別回顧這首歌Place Nearby，希望那些在天堂的人們快樂，也希望留在世間的人們能盡快從傷痛中恢復(fù)。帶著這段永遠(yuǎn)無法磨滅的記憶堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的繼續(xù)創(chuàng)造美好的未來。

< Background>

一種音樂，它的折舊率很小，甚至小到呈現(xiàn)負(fù)增長(zhǎng)。乍一聽，它似乎缺乏驟然抓心的旋律，但卻非常經(jīng)得起“重復(fù)”鍵的考驗(yàn)，聽得次數(shù)越多，越能滲透到聽者的心靈深處…… 挪威精靈Lene Marlin（琳恩·瑪蓮）就是這類音樂的佼佼者。

認(rèn)識(shí)琳恩，發(fā)現(xiàn)聽歌原來這么簡(jiǎn)單。只要擁有一個(gè)播放器，只那么簡(jiǎn)單一點(diǎn)，它就能撫慰你的心靈。它會(huì)不著痕跡地把你塵封的往事一并勾起，讓你的眼淚自由自在地滴落臉龐；同時(shí)，它也給你力量，讓你在沉靜中明白，再痛再傷也不過如此，當(dāng)痛過傷過，一切也就如清風(fēng)掃過。難過低落時(shí)，聽一聽琳恩，她會(huì)幫你找回勇氣；情緒亢奮時(shí)，聽一聽琳恩，她會(huì)讓你沉靜；不管走到哪里，聽一聽琳恩， 她會(huì)載你到一個(gè)波瀾不驚的中庸世界。

Lene Marlin -- A place nearby

I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear
Your last words to me

Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you will find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby
So there is no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I will always be by your side

You just faded away
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back
You are always on my mind
About to tear myself apart
You have your special place in my heart

Always heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you will find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby
So there is no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side

And even when I go to sleep
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget

Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you will find me someday

Heaven is a place nearby
So there is no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I will always be by your side

Notebook：

1. I hardly knew：由歌詞的時(shí)態(tài)，我們可推出，“歌者”的感情描述全發(fā)生在“愛人”逝世之后，所以，“我過去難以感受”可處理為“我現(xiàn)在終于明白”。

2. be by your side: 和你在一起。Be by the side of: 在…身邊；和…在一起。

3. faded away：逐漸凋零，逐漸消失。在歌中，fade是die（死亡）的委婉語。

4. about to tear myself apart ：指“（離開你）使我撕心裂肺”，反過來，可以表達(dá)為“（你在我腦中）與我難以割舍”。?
