% O/ \4 s& \! Z! M4 ~如果想學易於朗朗上口、歌詞又寓含深意的經典老歌，我推薦妳一首四十多年前的老歌 Those were the days。 5 g& m7 T+ Y4 `9 B+ B' v* `& l' C& p% c& J( k
這首歌是 Mary Hopkins 在 1968 年發行的處女作。原曲來自二十世紀初的蘇聯吉普賽歌謠 Dorogoi dlinnoyu (Дорогой длинною)，第一個錄音作品是西元 20 年代蘇聯的全能文藝青年 Alexander Vertinsky。Mary Hopkins 的作品則是最受歡迎的英譯版本。( L3 v2 d" G! F" c# d
