　　今天听一首The Carpenters的歌曲

《Top of The World》* c8 Q  Z4 ^5 I

　　一提到The Carpenters大家一定会想起他们的《Yesterday Once More》、《Close to You》等，这对兄妹组合无疑是七十年代最成功的流行音乐组合之一，他们在八十年代初结束演艺生涯前创作了无数好歌。虽然最先显现音乐天才的是哥哥Richard，可是妹妹Karen那近乎完美和极富感情的嗓音却更深地印刻在我们的心里。! N4 d0 e, E& {$ e* c

　　整个70年代后期，他们已开始走下坡路。身体欠佳对卡朋特兄妹的打击更是雪上加霜：理查德不幸染上了“药瘾”为了戒瘾，他在1978年进入了一家诊所接受治疗；卡伦则因为节食而患上了厌食症。1983年2月4日，人们发现卡伦晕倒在她父母的房间里。当天，卡伦因厌食引起生物功能紊乱导致心脏病发作，在医院里告别人世。# `2 P! y* M% L# f5 V: ~

　　《Top of The World》由Karen Carpenter演唱。Karen去世后，有人根据她的生平拍成一部《The story of Karen Carpenter》。影片里，她是正在唱《Top of The World》这首歌时，因体力不支，身体太虚弱，突然晕倒在舞台上。后被送往医院抢救，终因长时间患“神经性厌食症”，最终没能够挽救她年轻的生命。《Top of The World》成了卡伦的绝唱。% x, D7 a% o+ O& C; S* e/ U3 Q+ Y

歌词大意
$ d8 w4 |& w4 F& N

　　这样一种感觉突然涌上我的心头，眼中所见几乎都充满神奇。天空无云，阳光耀眼，若这只是一场梦，我也不会惊讶。我理想中的世界正专为我实现，原因无他，只因你在这里，你是我所见到的最完美的天使。  X7 r) ]8 \; j' ]! a
　　我站在世界之顶俯视红尘，我找到的唯一解释是自从认识你以后，我才找到了爱，是你的爱使我登上世界之顶。
　　风中有声音在呼喊我的名字，它告诉我一切都不一样了。树上的叶子，微风的轻抚，都在带给我愉悦的幸福感。我心中只有一个愿望：当今日逝去，希望你我的明天都将一如今日。只要你在我身旁，我就能心想事成。 3 J9 |, ^/ c+ @
