《加州旅馆》翻译与分析 The Eagles 老鹰乐队! k# F7 s& l: [, O
. R T; [$ l6 N, J1 C4 N$ n ! f6 g9 r. n% ?3 l/ {
喜爱英文歌曲的fans没有几个不知道《Hotel California(加州旅店)》,这首空前绝后的超级、超超级、世界顶级、钻石级金曲是本世纪最著名的流行音乐作品,它造就了一批Hotel California的超级fans。可能是这首单曲太有名了,风头甚至盖过了它的创造者“老鹰乐队”。这首歌可以说是Eagles在最佳状态、最佳组合之下完成的一首旷世之作,这首《hotel california》在1977年连续8周获得排行榜冠军的位置,歌曲特殊之处在于Don Felder与Joe Walsh所的双吉他效果。

“我们是一群来自中西部州中产阶层背景的年轻人,《加州旅馆》是我们对洛杉矶的上流社会的理解。它可看做是对总是追求奢华生活的美国的一个象征,而不仅仅是关于加州和贝弗利山区。”歌词和寓意,这首歌很难理解,因为它有太多的双关语!(我已经尽量解释了),但如果你知道它反映的是某次吸毒后的情景,就可以很好的了解歌词大意了!加州旅馆可以广泛的理解为是一种人间欲望的象征!. E: h5 J3 ^; }9 `1 j( ]
