Beatles，頗有創(chuàng)意的命名——這種低級生物既代表了一種不流俗套、略帶自嘲的幽默感，又恰到好處地將英文的beat（節(jié)奏、打擊）之意蘊藏其中。
作為一個樂隊，Beatles已經(jīng)成為過去；作為一種文化象征，Beatles卻超越了時空。
生命中的一天：A day in the
life

Yesterday
by Beatles
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though
they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging
over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide
away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide
away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm.
Words and phrases
1. not half：not at
all（一點也不，根本不），常用于口語中，用來加重語氣。如：Paper tiger is not half so fierce as it is
painted．（紙老虎根本不像描繪的那樣可怕。）
2.long for + n.
= long to do: have an intense desire for sth; want sth very
much（渴望，非常想有某物），如：The people of the world long for the
peace.（全世界人民渴望和平。）
3. easy
game：person or thing that can easily be attacked, exploited or
made a victim（容易受攻擊的人或事物，容易吃虧、上當、受害的人），這里應該解釋為“簡單、純真”。
中文歌詞
昨日
披頭士
昨日，所有煩惱仿佛都已遠去。
現(xiàn)在它們似乎在此停留。
噢，我寧回昨日。
突然間，
我迷失了自己，
被陰影籠罩。
噢，昨日突然重現(xiàn)。
她為何離我而去，我不知道，她也不愿意說。
可能是我說錯了話，如今我真的渴望重回昨日。
昨日，愛情簡單純真；
現(xiàn)在，我卻想逃開。
噢，我寧回昨日。
她為何離我而去，我不知道，她也不愿意說。
可能是我說錯了話，如今我真的渴望重回昨日。
昨日，愛情簡單純真；
現(xiàn)在，我卻想逃開。
噢，我寧回昨日。
嗯……
