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。# A" e9 ^& L0 y9 r& F1 \
8 Z! H' Z5 c$ e' A6 }
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。 7 J: p4 g2 o* E# W5 V 5 [- r% T7 a$ K" L5 D- T$ p% I- [4 `: {/ q9 {/ p9 l
