faded歌词翻译成中文faded歌曲简介

歌曲名:Throes of Perdition

歌手:Trivium

专辑:Shogun(Special Edition)

Trivium - Throes of Perdition

Blind-folded and gagged, stood waiting

With the whole world: my firing squad

At the edge of the world I'm faced out

Staring the sun right in the eye

Vultures circle above, hyenas mocking the kill

Excrement drooling down their chins

Atop the cliffs I look down, into the starving Hell-mouth

The rabid foam crashes hard on its teeth

Their mouth's salivate

Fantasizing my gruesome ending

This world looks down upon

A man who can stand on his own two feet

As they're feeding their guns: "ready, aim"

They say I'll live, if I die for their cause

Living under the rule of fellow Cro-Magnon fool

They fear who leads and will kill to stay still

Their mouth's salivate

Fantasizing my gruesome ending

This world looks down upon

A man who can stand on his own two feet

Without eating from their claws

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Such melancholy, burning the stars from skies

As we melt, drowning inside their bloodied eyes

Hope is raged, running from lacerations

Sob so heily, we choke, then we die

Die...

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Life feels quite like Hell should

But this Hells so cold

Pull another knife out

Stick it with rest of them

When my back is full

Turn me around to face it

Sob so heily, we choke, then we die

歌词翻译：

你是我生命之光中的一道暗影

你能理解我们吗

另一个起点

你逐渐消失

恐惧我们的目标迷失在视野

希望我们互相理解

活着

你身在何方？

难道这一切都在我的幻想里

你身在何方？

你只是虚幻的不存在吗？

你身在何方？

亚特兰蒂斯

在海底

你身在何方？

另外的梦想

狂野的怪兽驰聘在我心深处

我憔悴不堪

如此迷失，憔悴不堪

我憔悴不堪

所以迷失，憔悴不堪

那些镜花水月从未目及

我所需的

只是顺其自然

深沉海底

无尽的沉默于海中

我的呼吸声

活着

你身在何方？

明亮的灯光

却已经黯然失色

你点燃了我的心火

你身在何方？

另外的梦想

你身在何方？

亚特兰蒂斯

在海底

你身在何方？

另外的梦想

野兽驰骋于我心深处

我憔悴不堪

所以迷失，憔悴不堪

我憔悴不堪

所以迷失，憔悴不堪

七、词义辨析

n.(名词)object,objective,purpose这三个词均可表示“目标”“目的”。其区别在于:object常指基于个人决心的目标,常较抽象;objective常指具体的、直接的或很快可以达到的目标,为正式用语;purpose为普通用词,既可指人们期望出现的结果,也可指为此进行的活动过程。例如:Hehasadefiniteobjectinlife.他对人生有明确的目标。Myobjectivethissummerislearningtoswim.我今年夏天的目标是学会游泳。ThepurposewastohalttheriseintheexchangerateoftheSwissfranc.目的在于制止瑞士法郎兑换率上涨。object,subject这两个词均可表示“对象”。其区别在于:object为行为、感觉、思索的对象;而subject为待处理,用以实验的对象。例如:Heisanobjectforscornratherthanforpity.他不是怜悯而是鄙视的对象。Hewasthesubjectofmuchcriticism.他是许多批评的对象。v.(动词)object,expostulate,kick,oppose,protest,remonstrate这组词的共同意思是“反对某项议程、政策或方案”。其区别是：object强调个人的嫌恶与反感,但不一定明显地表露出来,着重个人不喜欢,无好感,以及由于与个人密切相关而提出反对意见,多以口头方式提出反对,有时伴有一定的具体动作;protest通常指通过言语或文字表露出来的强烈抗议;remonstrate含有对儿童、亲友等进行说服或规劝的意思,并有责备的意味,也含有“强烈抗议”的意思;expostulate表示坚决、真诚和友好的忠告;kick表示“反对,反抗”,强调反抗者的顽强;oppose表示轻微的、激烈的等各种不同程度的反对,甚至发展到以武力对抗。例如:Iobjectedthathewastooyoungfortheposition.我提出反对意见,他太年轻不适合那个职位。Iwasshockedatwhathe'ddone,andexpostulatedwithhimstrongly.我对他干的事感到震惊,并严厉地告诫过他。Ihealwayskickedatyourideas.我一直反对你的看法。Thehusbandstronglyopposedhiswife'sgoingtherealone.丈夫极力反对妻子单独去那个地方。Ifit'sprotestedbyallthepeople,thecanhardlycarryoutthenewpolicy.如果遭到公众一致反对,很难推行新政策。Iremonstratedagainsthisbehiour.我抗议他的行为。aim，goal，purpose，end，target，object，objective这些名词均有“目标、目的”之意。aim从本义“靶子”引申而来，侧重比较具体而明确的目标，但常指短期目标。goal指经过考虑和选择，需经坚持不懈的努力奋斗才能达到的最终目标。purpose普通用词，既指以坚决、审慎的行动去达到的目的，又指心中渴望要实现的目标。end指心目中怀着的某种目的，强调结果而非过程。较正式用词。target指射击的靶，军事攻击目标。引申指被攻击、批评或嘲笑的目标。object强调个人或需求而决定的目标、目的。objective与object基本同义，但语义更广泛，指具体或很快能达到的目的，也可指军事目标。书面用词。disagree，differ，object这些动词均含有“不同意，反对”之意。disagree指彼此间意见或看法不同，任何言行上的不合。differ可替换disagree，但语气较温和，是disagree的委婉说法。object语气强烈，侧重对某一具体、行为或作法等表示反对。常跟前置词to连用。object，oppose，resist，protest这些动词均含“反对”之意。object多指因厌恶或反感而反对，但不一定明显地表露出来。oppose普通用词，含义广，语气强于object。多指反对一些较重大的事，隐含其正当性。resist指用力量或意志抵抗、制止对方的入侵或诱惑、影响等。protest一般指通过言语或文字或行为表示出的强烈抗议、反对。object的相关近义词

Self-esteem(自尊心) is all about how much we are valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by o

I'm delighted to he this opportunity to join you to discuss a subject in which I personally he a great interest: the learning of foreign languages - and I hope you won't mind if the German Ambassador also says something about the importance of German as a foreign language in Britain.

Some of you will perhaps know that I he often publicly expressed my opinions on the subject of Germany's image and the teaching of German and also of history in this country. I'm quite sure that the language learning issue also has a political dimension with implications for our bilateral relationship and for Germany's image in Britain.

I. We need and want Britain as a strong partner in the EU

During this last year, political relations between our two countries he undergone a test - for reasons I'm sure I don't need to go into here. Our s he had different views , but thanks to the good personal relationship between Prime Minister Blair and Chancellor Schr?der, these differences he remained well in perspective. I don't now want to discuss the last few months, but the future.

What are the tasks that face us? At the global level, obviously since 9/11 the problem of terrorism stands out, alongside major themes such as maintaining peace, international trade, energy supply, environmental protection and human rights. In all these and more, Europe must become an effective player on the world stage and a strong and significant partner for the US.

For this, Britain is - to put it quite simply - indispensable. Britain has a quite special historical and political experience, a healthy scepticism and a helpful instinct for pragmatic solutions. We therefore believe that Britain must be an integral part of a successful Europe, and try to ensure that it is involved in every area. That is not always easy. Too often, a healthy scepticism is equated with euroscepticism. To me, euroscepticism is a contradiction in itself, as Britain is a part of Europe and embodies some of the best European qualities. A key question for the British is whether it can best deploy its political weight inside or on the margins of the EU.

II. British educational and foreign language policy

"English is not enough"; "Young people from the UK are at a growing disadvantage in the recruitment market", "The UK desperately needs more language teachers".

Those, Ladies and Gentlemen, are not my own statements. They are in fact the conclusions of the Nuffield Languages Inquiry of the year 2000 under the chairmanship of Sir Trevor MacDonald and Sir John Boyd. It is a regrettable fact that for many years, after a strong period in the 1980s, the major foreign languages, French and German, he been in continuous and sometimes dramatic decline in British schools and universities.

Britain faces the great task of changing this trend. It is absolutely in this country's interest that British young people, now and in the future, should be competent in foreign languages . In January 2002 the House of Lords debated the value of foreign language learning. All the speakers agreed that in a globalised world characterised by international links and intercultural connections, linguistic skills and international experience are crucial for employment and career. International skills should he a major part in every young person's school curriculum.

In the meantime the Government has responded. In 2002, it presented its Language Strategy, which sets out the framework for reforms in language teaching. Secretary of State Charles Clarke has several times indicated in conversation with me that this area is a priority of his work. I am no expert on education and cannot assess the reform process in detail - nor would I want to.

However, just a few days ago the Government's own interim report (Language Trends 2003, by CILT) noted a further significant decline in foreign language teaching. Probably the main reason at this moment is that the ending of compulsory language learning between ages 14 and 16 is already hing serious effects. This issue - whether language teaching should be compulsory teaching - is actually probably the greatest cultural difference between foreign language teaching here and in Germany. In Germany, foreign languages are compulsory from the first school year. In Britain, language learning seems to be more on a voluntary basis and priority is given to other curricular requirements. But that's an roach which comes in for a lot of criticism, including in Britain itself.

However, there are also a great many promising developments: for example, the requirement for primary schools to offer foreign languages from 2012 and the creation of Specialist Language Colleges. But at the broadest and deepest level, it's probably also necessary for society as a whole to recognise the value of foreign languages and to create an atmosphere and an environment in which language learning is seen as vitally important.

III. Reasons for learning a language

Why should we learn a foreign language? After all, the whole world speaks English! Ladies and Gentlemen, there's some truth in this argument - but only some! Allow me to give an example from the area which I can perhaps judge best: diplomacy. British diplomats generally he an excellent reputation as extremely professional and efficient. And that specifically includes language skills. Before they're posted to a new country, British diplomats are trained in its language, sometimes for up to a year.

Why do they do that? When you come to a new post, you can only really make full use of your professionalism and efficiency in your host country's language. You can't just rely on English. So hing a foreign language in addition to English is vital - as indeed it is in so many other professions.

Educational reasons

Learning a foreign language at the earliest possible age, and by that I mean from between 4 and 5 years old - that is, at nursery and primary school - opens up a whole new dimension for children: it greatly benefits their reading and writing in their own language; there's evidence that, like musical education, it contributes significantly to the development of individual intelligence; and concretely it improves overall results at school.

Cultural reasons

A new language opens up a whole new culture. A foreign language gives us access to another culture, and our lives take on a new dimension. The great German poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, said in 1827: "Whoever is not acquainted with foreign languages knows nothing of his own." Seen like that, learning a language is almost comparable to a journey of discovery - and if we remember the great explorers and the 18th century gentleman's grand tour, you might almost call it a British invention.

Conversely, to lose a language is to lose a whole culture. This realisation has led to determined efforts to preserve minority languages, including, for example, in Britain, with the renaissance of the Welsh and Gaelic languages. There are similar widespread efforts in Britain to promote community languages, for example by providing lication forms in Urdu or other languages. It is a fundamental truth that cultures define themselves through languages.

Personality

By learning a new language, you gain new horizons, but at the same time you reinforce your own identity, and therefore also your self-confidence. A foreign language can contribute to a stronger personality. Apparently foreign languages are even an essential quality of a lover. In Shakespeare's great comedy "Twelfth Night" we hear a gentleman being praised: He plays the viol-de-gamboys, speaks 3 or 4 languages and hath all the good gifts of nature.

Economic reasons

The typical profile expected from future business leaders fully reflects the demands of the globalised world. British language graduates find a good job more easily than others. Knowledge of German in particular improves one's chances on the job market. Many German companies abroad, and many foreign companies in Germany and companies with close links to German-speaking countries look for employees with language skills.

In spite of all the current economic difficulties in Germany, we are now, thanks to the Government's reform policies, well on the way to overcoming our economic weakness. Germany is still the most important trading partner for almost all the European countries and many countries outside Europe. A person who speaks German will be able to communicate better with business partners in the world's third-biggest economy and one of the foremost exporting countries.

Political reasons

Politically, a positive roach in Britain to language learning would he benefits on two different levels. Firstly, it would help to enable Germany to be seen more as a whole rather than just isolated aspects, and to break down a residual antipathy or at least ignorance and indifference. That's of course our number one aim. And secondly, it would help to ensure that Britain does not remain apart in Europe. In my view, it cannot be in Britain's interests to isolate itself politically or culturally.

IV. Reasons for learning German

Let me finally answer one last question: which is actually the most important language for British young people to learn? After long and careful consideration, I've come to the absolutely honest and objective conclusion that it has to be German (Vorsicht Ironie!)

I know that almost all of you speak a little German. Vorsprung durch Technik, Kindergarten, Oktoberfest and so on. And I'd rather not mention all those words from a certain period of our history that some people here never seem to get enough of. But there really seriously are good reasons for learning German.

Importance for communication in Europe

Over 100 million Europeans speak German as their native language. German is spoken not only in Germany, but also in Austria and in large parts of Switzerland. After English, German is the most spoken language in the European Union. In the new member countries of the European Union in central and eastern Europe, above all in Poland, which stands out with its population of over 50 million, German plays an important part both culturally and economically.

German as a language of culture

If you know German, you he access to one of the great European cultures in the original. German is the language of Goethe, Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, and of Thomas Mann and G?nter Grass - but also of Michael Schumacher and of the film "Goodbye Lenin", which in the last few months has been the most successful non-English language film. Each year there are 60,000 new publications in the German book market - that's 18% of all the books published each year in the world. That puts Germany at third place among the world's book producers.

Germany as a country of culture

Germany is a highly attractive country for trel, with a great variety of natural beauty, from Baria to the lakes and coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. (And by the way, there's no problem getting a towel onto a German beach!)

Germany also has a great cultural heritage, from the Middle Ages to the modern period. In Wittenberg you can visit the house of the great reformer Martin Luther. Germany has a vast number of theatres, choirs and symphony orchestras, in Munich, Cologne, Bamberg and elsewhere. Germany has produced great contributions to art and architecture, from Romanticism through Bauhaus and the classical modern period to some of the most interesting developments in modern art, such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter or Sigmar Polke, who can be seen at this very moment in a superb and very popular exhibition at Tate Modern in London.

V. Conclusion

If language skills are to improve here in Britain, everyone needs to play their part:

parents - must recognise the importance of foreign languages, encourage their children to take an interest and demand that schools give their children the opportunity to benefit from all that languages he to offer;

teachers - I'd like to thank them for all their dedicated work under sometimes difficult conditions, and encourage them to keep it up;

universities - should promote language departments wherever possible, even under difficult financial circumstances;

Government, Local Education Authorities and Schools - must give language learning a firm place in school life and enable as many pupils as possible to benefit from the opportunities it creates. In my personal view, this is also a matter of social justice, because languages facilitate social mobility;

lastly, the general public and the media - should recognise the value of language learning for future generations and support it accordingly.
