◎作者簡介
Bob Dylan,本名Robert Allen Zimmerman,1941年生於美國明尼蘇達。創作歌手、作家、2016年諾貝爾文學獎得主。
狄倫是二十世紀以降西方樂壇最受尊崇、影響力最大的創作歌手,在《滾石雜誌》評選的「史上百大創作歌手」名列第一。他不僅繼承吟唱詩人的民歌傳統,亦能融會古今,緊扣時代意識,翻轉語言質地,徹底改變了民謠的風貌。又與搖滾結合,打破樂種藩籬,成為青年叛逆文化的旗手。同代人風行草偃,觸發了西方流行樂的巨大變革。其後一度回歸鄉村樂與草根歌謠,並漸次鎔鑄各路樂風,賦傳統以新意,亦帶來極深遠的影響。
畢生獲獎無數,包括十一座葛萊美獎(含一座終身成就獎),並曾以電影主題曲獲奧斯卡獎與金球獎,1988年進入搖滾名人堂。2008年以其「歌詞創作飽含特出的詩的力量,對流行音樂和美國文化帶來深遠影響」獲普立茲特別獎。
2016年獲頒諾貝爾文學獎,成為第一位獲此獎項的音樂人。瑞典學院表彰他「在偉大的美國歌謠傳統裡創造了全新的詩意表達」。
狄倫迄今出版逾三十張錄音室專輯,並著有小說《狼蛛》(Tarantula)、自傳《搖滾記》(Chronicles: Vol.1,中文版由大塊文化出版)。他也是業餘畫家,曾出版畫冊多種,並有鑄鐵裝置等藝術創作。
《巴布.狄倫歌詩集》收錄了狄倫1961至2012年間創作的386首歌詞,中英文對照,依31張專輯次序整理,其中多首經狄倫親手重新編輯。《紐約時報》謂:「狄倫作為一位歌手而足以躋身文學史,這部書便是最有力的證據。」

◎小編淵智賞析
這首〈Blowing in the wind〉想來大家都不陌生,作為Bob Dylan最被人記得的歌之一,從1963年發行以來,深深地影響了全世界整整一世代的人。臺灣自然也不例外,楊弦的〈江湖上〉便是向此歌致敬的衍生之作之一。Bob Dylan的許多歌曲,除了對音樂的實驗,也在其中納入了許多對於人生、社會的深刻思索,這也使得他在2016年獲得了諾貝爾文學獎,也是第一名獲得該獎的歌手,此舉一出無數人驚訝之餘,卻也紛紛表示能理解此一選擇。然而,即使有著這樣的光環,Bob Dylan卻在半年後,才親自領取此一獎章。在許多人譴責他傲慢無禮的同時,卻也得以讓我們看見他如何視這些榮譽如浮雲,也讓我們在他身上,真真正正地體會到了何謂「吟遊詩人」的姿態。正如Bob Dylan曾在1969年的訪談中說過:「我只把歌詞看成用來唱的東西,真正重要的,是字句依附的音樂。我寫歌,是因為我總得有些什麼可唱。這是紙上的字句和歌曲的差別:歌在空中轉瞬即逝,紙頁卻能長留。一位偉大的詩人,比方華萊士‧史蒂文斯(Wallace Stevens, 1879-1955)未必能成就偉大的歌者。一位偉大的歌者,像是比莉‧哈樂黛(Billie Holiday, 1915-1959),卻總是能夠成就偉大的詩人。」*
回到歌詞,整首歌分成三段,每段的結構近似,由三個問題開始,並以「The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind答案呀,吾友,隨風飄盪/The answer is blowin' in the wind答案就飄盪在風裡」作結,彷彿屈原面對世間種種萬物所賦之《天問》,差別在於Bob Dylan問的問題並不像屈原那樣從天地離分、陰陽變化、日月星辰等自然現象,一直問到神話傳説乃至聖賢兇頑和治亂興衰等問題。Bob Dylan的問題如此簡單,在三段分別開頭的第一個問題,他只問了白鴿、高山和天空,接著便回過頭來,以此自然現象的推移隱喻接力至人的存在:和平與戰爭、自由與囚禁、死亡與生命,這三件事幾乎便是人類有史以來永恆的命題,然而經過幾千年的歷史,我們卻似乎依然陷於這樣的困境,無法脫身。Bob Dylan歌中所建立的世界,便不僅僅只是當代,而是只要人類存在一日,便永遠無法迴避的。也正因如此,他的歌反應的世界觀永遠不會過時,在一個吟遊詩人走在風裡時,他所歌唱的一切,也正隨著風,垂問著一切尚在變動的事物、一切人的行動,而這些問題,也正問著我們:究竟人類能否為人類自身造成的苦難負起責任?

she knows中文 在 寶總監的寶之國與他的狗王子 Empire of Director Bao & Niku & Baku Facebook 的精選貼文
(如果不想看我打的英文可以直接拉到下面看我另外打的中文)
Hello my people from Bao country just wanna show u guys the animation for the motions test of the pets Niku and Baku, and the super fierce attack motion of the Director Bao character. hopefully the game can be released without a hitch next month.
if it has decent sales I’m gonna have a talk with the engineers and the animators to have them add a bunch of bs functions.
And if everything goes well I’m gonna add in the “A-pei character that everyone loves so much, and there’ll also be a giant-sized Tibetan Mastiff : king of fat u can have as a pet.
I’ll let everyone know when it’s released.
There were people that used to look down on me, thinking that I ain’t worth shit being only able to draw.
I’ve encountered a self-centered, conceited mofo before during work,She was all saying that she wanted to collab with me to make a game but all she really wanted to do was to use my rep to do her own thing.
That fucking asshole thought she was the shit and everyone should bow down to her ass. She has fucking broken English skills but she was all like “I’m the fucking greatest in the world.”
She used to talk about how her mom opened up an English cram school for her, some shits about her studying abroad in England for fucking 9 weeks and that she’s da shit for doing so, and also she kept bragging that even the CEO thinks her English is very good.
But guess what tho, her retarded ass can’t even speak or write in proper English. She fucking not only spoke with a retarded accent but her grammar is all over the place, but yet she had the balls to bitch and laugh at others when they make a mistake in English, saying shit like “Didn’t that guy study in England, how come his writings are crap?”
And she would even use onomatopoeia phrases like “ewww” or “eek” or “ouch” to prove that her English is “authentic.”
U know what tho, if ur English is that good there’s no fucking need for u to show off like this or use berate others.
One time, I had enough and wrote a long ass complaint to the boss(About work stuff), that made her shut up for good cause the fucking retard wasn’t able to understand a word of that letter.
That bitch thought she’s better than everyone else and she’s not shy to it.
What’s make matters worse is that she hates dogs cause she thinks dogs are filthy animals.
When my dog Baku passed away she made some nasty remarks that I’ll never forgot and forgive her.
Honest to God I’ve never seen this kind of worthless piece of scum in life, that fucktard is the really the worst kind of piece of crap that I’ve ever met in my life.
Oh yea that stupid-ass motherfucking retard even once said that she was gonna work in Europe, but it’s all bs cause she aint even passed the job interview.
My violin teacher knows this retard too. My violin teacher was like: “dang girl this is hands down the worst kind of bitch being on earth”
Sorry for typing all this shit, just couldn’t stop once I got started.
I hope everyone supports the game that is about to be released.
My colleagues in Europe and I are super thankful of u guys ahhh!
給大家看一下泥褲和巴褲動作測試的動畫
還有寶總監角色超猛的攻擊動作
希望能在下個月順利發行遊戲
如果賣得不錯我就要跟工程師和動畫師吵鬧
要他們加入一些北爛的功能
如果順利一定會加入大家喜歡的阿培當角色
還有阿培最愛的超巨大的獒犬帝肥(阿肥)當寵物
到時遊戲釋出了再跟大家說
曾經有些人一直看衰我看不起我
因為我不喜歡念書上課都在睡覺
我不是不會念書是我不想念而已
他們覺得我只會畫圖沒屁用以後會餓死
只有我阿嬤支持我常常跟一些牌友炫耀
說我孫子畫的好漂亮啊之類的
但大部分的人都覺得我以後會沒出息
我之前的工作遇過一個非常自以為是又自私又跩的同事
說很想要跟我一起做遊戲然後利率對半分
我那時就覺得這個人心機很重為何我要授權給妳
我知道她只是想要利用我的名氣有夠現實的
(還很跩說不做也沒差啊我不求妳我有收集其他作家的資料等等)
那個混蛋覺得自己很唱秋
其他人都是白癡都很笨她很看不起別人
她曾經跟我說現在的人基因越來越差所以智商都很低
每天上班一副我超屌不屑跟大家講話的樣子
那傢伙英文明明很爛還在那邊很囂張
說什麼她媽以前為了她還開英文補習班
說她去英國遊學九個禮拜很屌
說老闆覺得她英文很好(老闆是加拿大華人)
幹放屁 講話文法錯一大堆王八蛋
她還會嘲笑其他人英文很差很爛
說英文差的人沒資格升上更高的職位
說那個誰誰誰知道不是去英國唸書
怎麼打出這種爛英文啊之類的
那傢伙還會故意學外國人的噁或其他語助詞(例如好痛之類)
假裝自己是純正的在海外生活的華人
我覺得英文這種東西夠用就好
如果你的英文真的很強很屌
你他媽的就沒有必要像這樣炫耀或斥責別人
有一次我因為在工作上的事情很煩(上面的人一直塞東西給我)
我給我們CEO寫了一長篇全英文訊息抱怨和建議(關於工作)
然後我傳給她看她就閉嘴了(我很確定她沒看或是她用GOOGLE翻譯)
幹因為她根本看不懂全部的文章王八蛋
那人也看不起別人覺得自己很屌
一點都不會覺得不好意思
最糟糕的是她超討厭狗
她覺得狗很噁心很骯髒
她說她這輩子最討厭狗
在我的狗巴褲過世時她還對我說了超狠毒的話
我永遠不會忘記也永遠不會原諒她
老實說我一輩子沒看過這種爛貨
真的是我遇過人品最差最自私的垃圾
喔幹那傢伙曾經說要去歐洲工作等等
在那邊唱秋結果面試根本沒過
我小提琴老師也知道這個王八蛋
她說天啊這是世界上最爛的人類
真對不起打了這麼多狗屁
真是一打就停不下來真的很氣
希望大家支持我們即將上市的遊戲
我和我的歐洲同事們都超感謝你們

好消息!在網友吳馥如的協助下,找到了方惠清女士住在彰化市的堂弟,也得知方惠清女士目前人在法國,我已將方女士堂弟的聯絡方式告訴尋人的李寶珊女士之女,希望這對好友能盡快取得聯繫,祝福她們!
【女兒代媽媽尋人】
原尋人文章以英文書寫,發文者是 Chung Phụng Anh,以下的中文內容為網友 Borcheng Hsu 代為翻譯。
==翻譯開始==
我的媽媽是潮州人,1959年生,從小住在柬埔寨,15歲被帶到紅色高棉集中營,與一位名叫 Que Chinh的女孩成為好友。
1979-1980年間,她們被釋放,逃到越南,也因為她們兩位的父親都慘遭毒手,所以感情特別好。後來Que Chinh的哥哥將她申請到台灣。
起初她和叔叔住在一起,她的叔叔開了一間賣零食的小店;我媽媽和她通過幾次信,她的地址是:
Guan Shin & Co
Chung Shan Rd, section 1
225 Alley, Chang Chua, Taiwan
Đài Loan, R.O.C.
(應該是台灣彰化中山路一段225巷)
不過後來我媽媽生了四個小孩,非常忙碌,等比較有空再寫信過去,信就被退回了。
我的媽媽現在62歲,目前住在美國波士頓,很想念 Que Chinh,希望能找到她。
==翻譯結束==
媽媽的名字是李寶珊(Lý Bửu Sang)
媽媽朋友的名字是方惠清(Que Chinh)
她的叔叔的名字是方克
以下為尋人原文:
Chung Phụng Anh shared her first post.
Aching Endeavor of Family Search
(some of the names have been translated into English by phonic sounds and might not be accurate, and my mom and I don’t know how to use Chinese keystrokes on computers).
My mom was a Chinese (Teochow) living in Cambodia, and a survivor of the Pol pot Khmer Rouge genocide. In the labour camp of the Khmer Rouge, a friendship was born between her and another lady who eventually settled in Taiwan. Now, my mom is living in Boston, MA, United States, and wishes to look for her endearing friend.
My mom’s name translated into Vietnamese is Lý Bửu Sang, her Chinese name is written on top of her teenage passport photo here. She was 15 when she was brought from Nong Phenh to the Khmer Rough labour camp, named something sound like Clok-By-Cam-Pot. There, she and her family made friends with a girl a year or so older than her, named Que Chinh, and her family. My grandpa and Ms. Que Chinh’s father was made to carry heavy loads of human feces for fertilization. He eventually died of inhuman condition in the camp, and Ms. Que Chinh’s father was killed off.
In1979-1980, my mom and Ms. Que Chinh were released and ran to Saigon, Vietnam. They met up regularly in Chợ Lớn (which means literally, Big Market) where gathered a large population of Chinese Vietnamese. The orphaned girls were as close as sisters.
Eventually, Ms. Que Chinh’s brother sponsored her to go to Taiwan. She initially lived with her uncle, who had a small shopping selling treats. They exchanged letters a few times at Mr. Que Chinh’s uncle’s address attached here (not sure if it's in the correct format):
Guan Shin & Co
Chung Shan Rd, section 1
225 Alley, Chang Chua, Taiwan
Ms. Que Chinh sent my mom three letters in which she attached her three photos here with the scenes in Taiwan, one of which was with her younger sister in the hats. The girl who turns around with the background of the mountain skyline is Ms. Que Chinh, and so is the girl with the background of the pagoda.
After that, my mom gave birth to 4 kids and became very busy at first. Then, when she finally had time and wrote to Ms. Que Chinh at the same address, the mail was returned.
To anyone who lives in Taiwan or knows anyone in Taiwan, please kindly help pass the words to Ms. Que Chinh. My mom misses her very much.
Thank you for your kind read...
