參考譯文
你喜歡搖滾樂嗎?有些人不喜歡。他們說:“搖滾樂太吵了!”并非所有的搖滾樂都是震耳欲聾的。英國的搖滾樂隊“甲殼蟲”唱的就是輕柔的歌曲。你可能對他們不太了解。但你的父輩可能一聽到他們的名字就很興奮。
“甲殼蟲樂隊”出了20世紀60年代最著名的歌手。直到今天還有人認為它是最好的。
這支樂隊有4名成員:約翰·列儂、林戈·斯塔爾、保羅·麥卡特尼和喬治·哈里森。1962年,他們以一曲“我想握住你的手”而聞名。他們的歌能幫助人們化悲哀為歡快?,F(xiàn)在,許多年齡在40或40歲以上的人依舊能唱《昨日》和《順其自然》之類的名曲。
“當我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于困境,圣母瑪麗亞總會來到我身旁。用智慧的語言循循善誘,順其自然。當我處在黑暗中,她就會站在我面前,用智慧的語言循循善誘,順其自然?!薄吧钤谑郎闲乃榈娜藘憾纪猓鸢妇褪琼樒渥匀??!?/p>
樂隊于1970年解散。1980年12月8日,主唱約翰·列儂被一位瘋狂的歌迷槍殺。整個世界都為這位超級巨星的離去而感到悲哀。許多人參加了他的葬禮,為的是見他最后一面。
列儂死后,“甲殼蟲樂隊”的專輯賣得更好了。但很少有人唱他們的歌曲,因為他們承受不起這種悲哀。他們知道,盡管歌聲依舊,但他們最喜愛的歌星已經(jīng)永遠離去。
