歌词
几百年来 人们以不同的艺术形式
Artistic interpretations of London across the centuries
记录着几百种迥异的伦敦风貌
record hundreds of different cities
太平盛世 歌舞升平的伦敦
- pictures of London as a city of pageantry and celebration
暗无天日 乱象横生的伦敦
pictures of London as a city of unruliness and anarchy
在这里 光荣美好与苦难煎熬此消彼长
Here, glory and beauty have always vied with stink and suffering
吸引着艺术家们的注意
for the attention of artists
(蒂姆·斯诺 塔吊操纵员)
(Tim Snow, Tower Crane Operator)
“我第一次开塔吊是在1982年
I first drove a crane in ‘82
我爬上去 坐在操作室里
I climbed up and I sat in the lab
说实话 有点紧张
and I was very nervous, to put it mildly
因为我不喜欢爬高
Cos I wasn’t particularly fond of heights
那是我第一次被眼前的景象迷住
I’d say the first time I was really quite taken with it
我环顾四周 心想 “我就在这座城市的中心
looking around, thinking “I’m right in the certre of this
这座世界性大都市 全世界的人都知道伦敦
This is a world city. Everybody in the world knows about London
而我就站这座城的顶端 环视四周
And I’m sitting over the top of it, looking around
是的…这真是莫大的荣幸
and…yes, it’s a privilege
这座城市已在此伫立无数岁月”
The city has been there since forever. ”
