所见所闻－21

圣诞节快到了，小孩子学校举行声乐晚会。每年都有的，节目质量说不上，主要是哄小孩们开心的。所以会场乱哄哄的。特别是这个学校亚裔占90％。要多乱有多乱。

校长在致开幕词。




仔细看看有多少华人！不像是加拿大的学校。


节目演出时，家长们忙着拍照，我们坐在椅子上的完全看不到台上演什么，拍拍家长吧。


家长们很认真。


这是“天才”们在表演节目。这个学校有天才班。



其实你不信教就不应该过什么圣诞节。可加拿大强制人家穆斯林们，佛教徒们，还有共产党员们也过圣诞，万能的上帝哟，保佑你。

在晚会的最后，加拿大的音乐老师叫学生们唱了这样一首歌

I WOULD LIGHT A CANDLE

I would light a candle to chase away the darkness.

And I would light your candle from mine.

Each of us can light another, sharing the flame,

helping the hopeless to see that each of us can make a diff’rence when we really care.

Yes, each of us can make a diff’rence when we choose to share.

One can light another, and two can share the brightness,

and four can chase the darkness away.

Eight becomes a hundred, then a thousand or more,

turning the night into day.

A hundred thousand candles spread a glorious light;

an everlasting beacon on the stormiest night.

Chorus:
Light the light, share the vision.
Show the world what one man can do.

Be the one to set the brave example.

Maybe what the world needs is you.

You can be a beacon when hope hides in the shadows;

a tiny light to light the darkest way.

Keep the candles burning bright when troubles appear,

and turn someone’s night into day.

A candle loses nothing when it lights another flame.

And any journey's possible when you can see the way.

Chorus

Maybe what the world needs is you.

你说的有道理。

现在正在慢慢改变，小学中学，中国春节都放假了。黑孩子白孩子都喜欢中国新年，不用上课，多好啊。

我家俩天才的学校年底演出，我也看过几次，嗯，的确像你说的，是差了一点，不过，每年都这么组织一下，也挺好的。

这歌词挺好的，我翻译一下：

I WOULD LIGHT A CANDLE
让我点燃这烛光


I would light a candle to chase away the darkness.
让我点燃这烛光，让烛光驱散黑暗
And I would light your candle from mine.
用我的烛光点亮你的蜡烛
Each of us can light another, sharing the flame,
我们各自再点亮他人
helping the hopeless to see that each of us can make a diff’rence when we really care.
帮助那些失望的人，如果我们有心，每个人都可以让这世界改变
Yes, each of us can make a diff’rence when we choose to share.
是啊，如果我们愿意和别人分享幸福，每个人都可以让这世界改变
One can light another, and two can share the brightness,
一个人可以点亮另一人，两个人可以分享一束亮光
and four can chase the darkness away.
四个人齐心可以驱散黑暗
Eight becomes a hundred, then a thousand or more,
由八个人变成一百人，再变就变成一千人
turning the night into day.
把黑暗的夜变成光明的白天
A hundred thousand candles spread a glorious light;
千百支蜡烛散播着光辉与灿烂
an everlasting beacon on the stormiest night.
不灭的火炬燃烧着着暴风雨之夜

Chorus:
副歌：

Light the light, share the vision.
点燃亮光，分享光明
Show the world what one man can do.
然世界看看每一个人的力量
Be the one to set the brave example.
成为英雄称为榜样
Maybe what the world needs is you.
于是这世界就需要你


You can be a beacon when hope hides in the shadows;
阴影下需要希望，你就是希望之炬
a tiny light to light the darkest way.
小小的亮光就可以烧毁黑暗
Keep the candles burning bright when troubles appear,
在世间磨练，让烛光点燃
and turn someone’s night into day.
把绵绵长夜变成光明的白天
A candle loses nothing when it lights another flame.
一支燃烧着的蜡烛，不用吹灰之力便可以点燃另一支
And any journey's possible when you can see the way.
在人生之旅中我们可以见证这样的路

Chorus
重复副歌

Maybe what the world needs is you.
于是这世界就需要你

呵呵 , 每年要到聖誕節 , 俺總會想起一堆佛教徒也在寄聖誕卡 .
不特此也 , 本該青燈古佛的 , 也跑去參加聖誕狂歡舞會 .
不特次也 , 本該齋戒茹素的 , 也吃起了火雞大餐 .......
真不知道現在是什麼世界 ?
為什麼聖誕老公公不也來剃光腦袋 , 點上六個戒疤乎 ?

所以啦 , 華人跑去參加聖誕 , 也就見怪不怪啦 .
其實啦 , 既然華人佔了 90% , 大可拿木魚出來敲之可也 .
要不然舞龍舞獅也行矣 .

至於家長站起來照相 , 那更沒啥 .
換了俺 , 早就跑到舞台前方正中 , 架起腳架 , 方圓三米不得入內也 .
