MelodyC2E是一个来自上海外国语大学的英语平台,自2016年9月正式创建以来已有四年之久。Melody即“旋律”的意思,而C2E是Chinese to English的缩写。在上海外国语大学,“英文版中文歌”这样的项目有着天然的粉丝基础。
社团最初专注于翻唱英文版中文歌,保证每星期推出一首高质量的作品,在还原中文歌曲意境的前提下,兼顾英文歌词的优美、韵脚和音节等各个方面的贴合与匹配。到目前为止,社团已经成功推出了160余首英文版中文歌,其中广受关注的作品有英文版《平凡之路》《纸短情长》《起风了》等。而后随着MelodyC2E的发展壮大,又相继推出了“Bedtime Reading晚安故事”“每周一句”“聊点词汇”等板块,拓宽成了更广阔的平台,专注于英语学习交流。其中“Bedtime Reading晚安故事”板块备受关注,成为了MelodyC2E的一个重要栏目。社团从这一栏目中精选出10篇外国文学经典文本或选段集结成书,这本有声书Bedtime Reading已于2019年8月正式出版,并在上海书展期间举办了新书发布会。
When snow first fell from the sky
轻轻 落在我掌心
It froze in my palm that night
静静 在掌中结冰
When we first met in July
相逢 是前世注定
Our fates somehow intertwined
痛并 把快乐尝尽
Your words chilled me to the bones
明明 话那么寒心
But I laughed and said, “I know.”
假装 那只是叮咛
I wept as I let you go
泪尽 也不能相信
Blessing our tortured souls
此生 如纸般薄命
Hearing pristine white
我慢慢地听
As it swirled from the sky
雪落下的声音
Hoping it would not end, I closed my eyes
闭着眼睛幻想它不会停
Though you werent by my side
你没办法靠近
Our past was on your mind
绝不是太薄情
I knew youd watch snow fall with a smile
只是贪恋窗外 好风景
Awed by pristine white
我慢慢地品
When snowflakes passed me by
雪落下的声音
Thought I heard you call me in the moonlight
仿佛是你贴着我叫卿卿
Yet you werent nearby
睁开了眼睛
only snow was in sight
漫天的雪无情
With whom should I share this lovely night?
谁来赔这一生好光景
Your words chilled me to the bones
明明 话那么寒心
But I laughed and said, “I know.”
假装 那只是叮咛
I wept as I let you go
泪尽 也不能相信
Blessing our tortured souls
此生 如纸般薄命
Hearing pristine white
我慢慢地听
As it swirled from the sky
雪落下的声音
Hoping it would not end, I closed my eyes
闭着眼睛幻想它不会停
Though you werent by my side
你没办法靠近
Our past was on your mind
绝不是太薄情
I knew youd watch snow fall with a smile
只是贪恋窗外 好风景
Awed by pristine white
我慢慢地品
When snowflakes passed me by
雪落下的声音
Thought I heard you call me in the moonlight
仿佛是你贴着我叫卿卿
Yet you werent nearby
睁开了眼睛
only snow was in sight
漫天的雪无情
With whom should I share this lovely night?
谁来赔这一生好光景
In whom should I ever confide?
谁来赔这一生好光景
For whom should I try to win this fight?
誰来赔这一生好光景
