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。 : {' W2 Y+ V/ u% v9 b7 R8 O1 @+ J& `$ S# e7 `7 z
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。 / }. g1 _1 X& ]2 p O! D- i : ?, D/ H2 E: S 7 ^$ X( y. w! U1 s* [9 K: [+ w; ?! p7 U0 M. O( X- @; g
