永遠的青春Forever Young,有可能嗎?


Do you want to live forever? and forever young?

這題目大概可以寫到我一點都不年輕都還沒寫完.而且說實話80年代時這不是我的愛歌,雖然它很紅,不過其實只是因為它跟主題切合才納進來的.數年前曾經去上一個英文閱讀班,雜誌上有篇文章是跟醫學進步如果解開基因中老化的秘密會造成什麼影響,於是老師問大家的想法,當時還算年輕,大概當時正在看些佛書(想消除煩惱,還有業障),於是我說:"Maybe it's not a good idea to disturb the law of nature.If aging is not avoidable, we should accept it and face it."講完覺得自己好棒,老師說:"You said that,because you're still young."

然後我繼續老,也很久沒想到這件事,以前我會想說反正一個年紀會有一個年紀的樂趣吧.雖然好像沒有年輕時那麼多,雖然還是常裝年輕,不過忙碌跟生活壓力及閒暇時間的減少還是生活樂趣的殺手,幸好有回學校唸書給自己找新目標,不然大概會很茫然吧.

寫了一大堆,其實只想丟一個問題出來,朋友間討論外國影星時,有聽過不少人有相同的看法,就是覺得史恩康納萊Sean Connery上了年紀比他年輕時更帥更有味道,問題來了,今天假設你是Sean本人,請問你覺得自己60歲帥還是25歲帥?

我自己想了一下,25,不過希望真的60的時候有人說我比年輕更有味道.
如果有人想出60且很有說服力的答案請告訴我.

The lyrics of "Forever Young" by Alphaville

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

  1. 我之前很愛聽這首歌,不知道,幾十年(maybe有這麼久了吧)之後再聽...感覺自己好像歷盡滄桑,真想哭,特別是測了幾小時的程式之後...不過還好不是欲哭無淚,那不知道是老到什麼程度了. 唉~~
