900万辆自行车的爱情
北京有900万辆自行车,那是一个事实。一个关于爱情的事实。
其实据说北京的自行车数早已超出了。不过nine million bicycles 还是让我怦然心动了。它浪漫又平实,让我在一夜之间产生了想去北京一窥究竟的冲动。难道那个陆涛们、夏琳们奋斗的天空下真有爱情???
曾经的我对于“首都”、“文化中心”等等给予北京的城市名片从来都是不屑一顾的。在我的想象中,北京只是一座保留着封建王朝建筑、漫天黄沙的北方城市,干燥、荒漠,皇城根下的人们津津乐道于国家大事,吵个架就是一次贫嘴的快感。因此,我从来都拒绝和这个城市约会。然而令我意外的是,在这个被胡同文化浸泡的古都,斑驳的城市遗迹中还蕴含着细腻至深的浪漫,尽管那是以西方人的眼光来看待的城市爱情。
也许自行车是产生不了爱情的,但不能否认,在成长的记忆中,总有些片段与之相关,难以抹去,尤其是在那个被叫做青春的时代。不管是叫自行车还是叫单车,只要两个轮子可以自由转动,轻盈地在城市的地面划出飞扬的轨迹,我们就已然把它和自己融为一体,陪我们把妹,陪我们逃学,陪我们风吹日晒,陪我们自由自在。
不管男女,只要曾经年轻过,都应该有一段和自行车有关的记忆,否则不完美的人生又会多一道遗憾。
there are nine million bicycles in beijing
that's a fact
it's a thing we can't deny
like the fact that i will love you till i die
we are twelve billion light years from the edge
that's a guess
no-one can ever say it's true
but i know that i will always be with you
i'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
so don't call me a liar
just believe everything that i say
there are six billion people in the world
more or less
and it makes me feel quite small
but you're the one i love the most of all
we're high on the wire
with the world in our sight
and i'll never tire
of the love that you give me every night
there are nine million bicycles in beijing
that's a fact
it's a thing we can't deny
like the fact that i will love you till i die
and there are nine million bicycles in beijing
and you know that i will love you till i die
