”And whispered in the sounds of silence. 这告诫声在沉默之声中低语讲解：1. 这首歌是 Paul Simon 在 1964 年写的，他与 Art Garfunkel 所合唱歌曲透过描写一种关于大众沈浸在沉默（盲目、压制等象征）之中的梦幻（Vision） ，来批判社会只知道盲目崇拜物质偶像（Neon god they made） ，不知道也不敢正视社会的真实面（例如地下铁与廉价公寓中的穷人） 沉默变成了一种声音（so2. 作者把黑暗形容为自己的老朋友，暗指自己向来孤独，可能是因为想法与社会一般人不同 Because a vision softly creeping 当中省略了一些东西，应该是 a vision that was softly creeping，这样就容易理解了Softly 用的很精确，表明是 slowly and quietly，一个词就代替了两个词这个 creep 跟 softly 也很相配，creep 本身就有蹑手蹑脚地爬这个意思所以大家在使用副词和动词的时候，要注意互相搭配3. 这句话的主干是 vision remains with the sound of silence。
Remain 这个词相当于 stay，表示一种持续的状态，用法跟系动词差不多比如: He still remained silent after we showed him the evidence. 我们给他看了证据后，他还是保持沉默They remained friends for their life-long time. 他们一辈子都是朋友4. 这句话比较长，状语比较多，正常应该是 In restless dreams I walk alone on the narrow streets of cobble stone. Restless，从构词法就可以看出，是 rest 后面加上了 less，变成了形容词，表示 “不平静的，不安宁的” ， 例如: They spent a restless night in that house. 他们在那栋房子里度过了不安的一夜the cold and damp 表示又冷又湿的天气5. stab 是指用匕首刺，扎，在这里是是一种比喻的说法，很形象，这里描写眼睛被划过夜空的霓虹灯的光线所刺射，由于霓虹灯在夜中闪烁，因此被形容成是碰触寂静的声音（touched the sound of silence） 。
6.split 撕开，裂开，指用暴力那种，相当于 tear，break 这里跟前面的 stab 这个词相呼应，造个句子：A lightning bolt split the night sky.一道闪电划破夜空Split 这个词还有分开，分享的意思，相当于 divide，share We split the cake.我们一起分享蛋糕还要注意 split 的过去式和过去分词都是 split7. naked light：指的应该是上一段所描述的霓虹灯光，没有遮掩因而刺眼的光，常常也指大白天8. See someone doing something 看见某人正在做某事，比如歌词中 I saw people talking. 还有 see someone do something 表示看见了某人做某事，这件事已经做完了，比如：I saw them walk hand in hand yesterday.昨天我看见他们手牵着手走路9.silence like a cancer grows 省略了系动词 be 和定语从句关系代词，应该是 silence is like a cancer that grows. hear my words that I might teach you，take my arms that I might reach you 这两句话应该是 hear my words so that I might teach you，take my arms so that I might reach you.10. Bow to 向某人鞠躬，引申就是指想某人或某物屈服，这里 bow and prayed to the neon god 就是11. 这里 the neon god 和前面的 neon light 来借指物质偶像。
12. flash， 闪现，闪烁，还可以做为名词，表示很短的一段时间，比如：I'll be on my way in a flash. 我马上就上路the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming：圣经中上帝在以洪水或大火等灾难处罚其子民后往往就又发出慈悲心，与存活的犹太人立下约定只要人民顺服祂将给予祝福例如挪亚方舟的故事，彩虹变成立约的记号这里的记号 sign 也有超自然的神谕的含意，虽然不一定是犹太教或基督教的神13. 这句话补充完整就是 The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and are whispered in the sounds of silence. 先知的话语是写在地铁的墙上以及廉价公寓的大厅里表示社会真实的现状（先知所见的事实）只有在地铁墙上的涂鸦以及穷人在其所住的廉价公寓大厅中所发的怨言或哀求中才得以发现 There's a kind of hush There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight All over the worldYou can hear the sound of lovers in loveYou know what I meanJust the two of usAnd nobody else in sightThere's nobody else And I'm feeling good just holding you tightSo listen very carefullyGet closer now and you will see what I meanIt isn't a dreamThe only sound that you will hearIs when I whisper in your ear I love youFor ever and everThere's a kind of hush all over the world tonightAll over the worldPeople just like us are falling in loveSo listen very carefullyGet closer now and you will see what I meanIt isn't a dreamThe only sound that you will hearIs when I whisper in your ear I love youFor ever and everThere's a kind of hush all over the world tonightAll over the worldPeople just like 。
