《秋蝉》是台湾民歌时代非常著名的一首歌曲，由著名音乐人李子恒作词作曲。1980年凭借此首歌曲获金鼎奖作曲奖。首唱为徐晓菁杨芳仪二重唱，此后有大量的歌手翻唱过此曲，著名的有刘文正、费玉清、小虎队、江蕙、杨钰莹、张清芳、南方二重唱等等。（摘自百度百科）</p><p class="ql-block"> 我认为作者是借秋蝉的视野和口吻来吐肺腑之言：虽然自己喜欢“秋意浓”、觉得“我这薄衣过得寒冬”强过燕子，但还是奉劝诸君“莫教好春逝匆匆”！同时，歌词和旋律从“总归是秋天”起，情绪上由“意幽幽”转变成了“美景不再”的一声叹息。岁月不饶人！</p><p class="ql-block"> 上个月我参加的合唱团开学了，第一次课学习了这首歌。已是花甲的我一开口唱这首歌，竟然眼睛湿了、有些哽咽。连续几天，这旋律这歌词在脑海里不停地回放，做事情都有些心不在焉。于是决定给这歌词配图，最好是给双语配图。令我十分惊讶的是就在那天我看到了勤奋先生翻译了《曲中人》的歌词！我留言求助。万万不曾料想到的是：第二天勤奋先生就上传了《秋蝉》翻译佳作！其才气和为人真的令我万分感动！并且还告知我：无心剑先生也帮着译了一个版本！我感动得热泪盈眶！再次感谢两位大师！</p><p class="ql-block"> 我生性愚钝，加上家里老老少少要忙着照顾，只能挤时间边琢磨歌词，边在自己这些年拍的照片里挑选了自认为最合适的图片。从上个月24日到今天，总算完成了这份作业。请两位先生和各位美友不吝赐教！</p> <p class="ql-block">🍁 勤奋 英译《秋蝉 》</p><p class="ql-block">The Autumn Cicada </p><p

小时候我没有见过蝉。几乎 从小到大就不喜欢听蝉叫。闷热的夏天夜晚，当一声声“知了...知了...”传过来时，有时还真心烦郁闷，恨不得将棉花塞在耳朵里。没想到做了外婆以后的我对周遭世界有了新的认识，尤其是对蝉，竟然有了几分敬意和喜爱。</p><p class="ql-block"> 那是三年前夏天的一个傍晚，蝉又在唱歌了。我家一岁多的小芊芊问我“外婆，你听！这是什么声音? 是谁的声音？它在说什么？” 我突然意识到我该好好认识蝉，和小宝贝一起来了解它们。于是一起看图片、读古诗。如： 初唐的虞世南的《蝉》“垂绥饮清露，流响出疏桐。居高声自远，非是藉秋风。” 清朝袁枚的《所见》“牧童骑黄牛，意欲捕鸣蝉。歌声振林樾，忽然闭口立。” </p><p class="ql-block"> 我们爱上了蝉，有时白天寻音找蝉。功夫不负有心人。2021年7月在窑湾、2022年7月在永州，我们竟然看到了趴在树上的蝉，三只蝉！闭口立！抢拍了好几张！当时特别兴奋，就在朋友圈发了双语诗文配图。 </p><p class="ql-block"> “知了……知了……”我想：与其说是蝉的叫声，不如说是蝉在问或在提醒我们人类：知了？知了？</p><p class="ql-block"> 《秋蝉》便是最好的回答：知了！知了！——莫教好春逝匆匆！莫教好春逝匆匆！</p><p class="ql-block"> </p> <p class="ql-block">附：</p><p class="ql-block">1. 关于蝉的生活习性。蝉的幼虫生活在土中，有一对强壮的开掘前足。常会在土中待上几年甚至十几年，如3年、5年，还会有17年。6月末幼虫开始羽化为成虫，羽化的蝉呈绿色，最长寿命长约60~70天。7月下旬，雌成虫开始产卵，中旬为产卵盛期，卵多产在4~5毫米粗的枝梢上。雄蝉每天唱个不停，尤其是在夏天。是为了引诱雌蝉来交配，它们并不能听见自己的"歌声"。而雌蝉不能发声，所以它是"哑巴蝉"。 </p><p
