Hello darkness.doc

Hello darkness, my old friend
　　你好啊 黑暗 我的老朋友
　　I've come to talk with you again
　　我又来找你闲聊了
　　Because a vision softly creeping
　　因为一个幻影无声无息地爬过
　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping
　　在我熟睡的时候留下了它的种子
　　And the vision that was planted in my brain
　　这幻影在我脑海里种下了根
　　Still remains
　　萦绕不去
　　Within the sound of silence
　　与于寂静无声的此刻
　　In restless dreams I walked alone
　　在无眠的梦中我茕茕独行
　　Narrow streets of cobble stone
　　行走在鹅卵石铺就的狭窄街道上
　　'Neath the halo of a street lamp
　　头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩
　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp
　　我竖起衣领来抵御着严寒与潮湿
　　When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
　　.当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的闪烁刺痛时
　　That split the night
　　它划破夜空
　　And touched the sound of silence
　　打破了黑夜的沉静
　　And in the naked light I saw
　　在炫目的灯光下
　　Ten thousand people, maybe more
　　我看见成千上万的人
　　People talking without speaking
　　有的人在说着无聊的话语
　　People hearing without listening
　　有的人听而不闻
　　People writing songs that voices never share
　　有的人在写着那些从不会被传唱的歌
　　And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
　　没有人敢打扰这寂静的声音
　　"Fools" said I, "You do not know
　　我说：“愚蠢的人啊,你们不知道”
　　Silence like a cancer grows”
　　寂静会像癌细胞滋长
　　Hear my words that I might teach you
　　听我的话,我才能教导你
　　Take my arms that I might reach you
　　"抓紧我的手,我才能救你.
　　But my words like silent raindrops fell
　　但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下
　　And echoed in the wells of silence
　　徒然回响在沉静的天井中.
　　And the people bowed and prayed
　　人们仍然顶礼膜拜着.
　　to the neon god they made.
　　对着自己塑造的霓虹灯神像
　　And the sign flashed out its warning
　　霓虹灯突然闪烁出警兆
　　And the words that it was forming
　　警告的语句渐渐成型
　　And the sign said:
　　它告诉人们
　　"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
　　预言者的话都已写在地铁的墙上
　　and tenement halls
　　和房屋的大厅里
　　And whispered in the sound of silence."
　　这告诫也在无声的静默中被轻声传送.
