Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luck 6:31) 你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。 (路加福音 6:31) |
一首好聽的曲子,光靠著白鍵的全音來詮釋是不夠的,加入黑鍵的半音才可以使樂曲聽起來更豐富,更和諧。
早期一台好的鋼琴,製造黑鍵所使用的材料多半是烏木 (Ebony),而白鍵面則是使用象牙 (Ivory) 來製成,所以本單元介紹曲 ”Ebony and Ivory烏木與象牙” (1982) ,按照字面上來解釋是指 ”鋼琴琴鍵” 的意思,實際上是對 ”族群和諧” 的隱喻。
這首歌是由Paul McCartney保羅麥卡尼 (1942-)所創作,他邀請黑人盲人歌手Stevie Wonder史提夫汪德 (1950-) 共同來詮釋此樂曲,兩位巨星膚色一白、一黑,正與鋼琴的黑白琴鍵相呼應,表達了人們對族群之間和平共處的渴望。

Pride
and Prejudice 傲慢與偏見
Peace |
英國著名的小說家Jane Austen珍·奧斯丁(1775-1817),在她的小說傲慢與偏見(Pride and Prejudice)中說: “傲慢讓別人無法來愛我,偏見讓我無法去愛別人” (Arrogance prevents others from loving me, and prejudice prevents
me from loving others.),這句話貼切地道出 傲慢與偏見 是人們之間不能和平共處的盲點。
不論來自哪裡,人們都是一樣的,心中都存在著善與惡,學會彼此了解、充分溝通,才能推倒築在人們心中的高牆。
Pride & Prejudice |
以下是經典台詞整理介紹:
1. One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a fortnight. But if we do not venture, somebody else will. (fortnight兩星期)只用兩個星期的時間相處,不可能真正了解一個人。但是若我們不冒險試試,別人可會嘗試的。
2. There are few
people whom I really love, and even fewer of whom I think well.
我真心喜愛的人並不多,有好感的人更少。
3. Pretend modesty often is nonsense, sometimes just is the beat around the bush boast. 假裝謙虛是沒有意義的,有時候那就只是拐彎抹角的自誇。
4. I would wish not to be hasty in censuring any one; but I always speak what I think.我希望不要輕率地責難任何人,可是我一向都是想到什麼就説什麼。
5. But if a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal it, he must find it out.如果一個女人喜歡上一個男人,只要女方不刻意隱瞞,男方一定會看得出的。
6.But to be so
easily seen through I am afraid is pitiful.
不過這麼容易就被人看出來,那也未免太可憐了吧。
7. My affections and wishes have not changed. But one word from you will silence me forever. 我的情感和願望都沒有變,但是只要你說一句話我就會永遠沉默。
8. My good opinion once lost is lost forever. 我對於某個人了好感,一旦失去就永遠失去。
9. You are the last man in the world I could ever marry.
你是世界上我最不可能嫁的男人。
10. Pride relates
more to our opinion of ourselves. Vanity to what we would have others think of
us.
驕傲大多是跟我們如何看待自己有關,而虛榮則是牽涉到我們想要別人如何看待我們。
11. The more I see of the world, the more I am dissatisfied with it.
對世界看得越多,我就越不滿。
12. But it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong understanding to as vanity and pride.
而我一生都在探索該如何避免這些弱點,如虛榮和傲慢這類大家可以深刻理解的弱點。
13. And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody.
你的缺點就是,你有對每人都感到厭惡的傾向。

這是一部探討藝術與自由的電影,講述美蘇冷戰時期 (Cold War 1947-1953),兩位舞蹈明星逃離蘇聯鐵幕的故事。
這兩位舞者有著迥然不同的身分背景,他們一個是蘇聯的芭蕾巨星 (ballet dancer/白人),他利用前往美國表演的機會,投奔自由,加入美國籍;另一位則是美國的踢踏舞者 (tap dancer/黑人),在參加越戰時,投入了蘇聯的懷抱,他鄉安家立業。
