[/b][align=left]I[b] Hear American Singing我听见美国在歌唱-选自<草叶集>华尔特·惠特曼[/b]
I hear American singing, the varied carols I hear,
我听见美国在歌唱，唱着各种各样不同的赞歌，
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
机械工人歌唱着，每个人都唱着欢快强健的歌，
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
木匠歌唱着，还测量着他的厚板和梁木，
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
泥水匠歌唱着，在出工前和停工时水,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,
船夫在船上歌唱着他自己的歌。水手们则在轮船甲板上歌唱着，
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, The hatter singing as he stands, The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
鞋匠坐在板凳上歌唱，无论早上，午休时，或是日落时分，
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work,or of the girl sewing or washing,
还有慈祥的母亲，年轻的少妇，缝纫衣裳的女孩那甜美的歌,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
每个人都唱着独属于他或她的一切，
The day what belongs to the day-at night the party of young fellows, Robust, friendly,
白天歌唱属于白天的，晚上，一群强壮友好的年轻小伙儿，
Singing with open moths their strong melodious songs.
亮开嗓子唱起他们雄壮动听的歌。[/align][align=left][attach]19025[/attach]
Bon Jovi是当今世界上十分著名的一支重金属摇滚乐队。
从80年代至今，乐队一直保持着健康而充满活力的音乐风格。
这首 Dry County 可算是他们的代表作，气势磅礴，内容表达的是一些“美国梦”（American Dream）已经破碎了的人们的现状，“石油没了，钱没了，我们依然在这里做行尸走肉”“如果要选择一个死法，我希望是用枪或者刀，其他的方法有太多的痛苦……”实在是入木三分。甚至有人提议把这首歌作为美国的候选国歌。由于歌曲较长，网上少有在线播放，希望我上传的这首，大家能够喜欢。[/align][wma]http://m8.woyo.com/mp3_1221/000/283/571/200802/200802141206521202962012ti2GbH.mp3[/wma]
