《Nixon in China， Act 1， Scene 3: ”Mr. Premier， distinguished guests”》歌词

[00:00:00] Act 1, Scene 3 (Excerpt)(1) - John Adams (约翰·亚当斯)

[00:00:10] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:00:15] Comrades and friends

[00:00:21] We have begun to celebrate the different ways

[00:00:30] That led us to this mountain pass

[00:00:38] This summit where we stand

[00:00:49] Look down and think what we have undergone

[00:01:01] Future and past lie far below half-visible

[00:01:16] We marvel now that we survived those battles

[00:01:23] Took those shifting paths

[00:01:27] Blasted that rock to lay those rails

[00:01:42] Through the cold night uncompromising lines of thought

[00:01:51] Attempted to find common ground

[00:01:58] Where their militias might intend

[00:02:05] Confident that the day would come

[00:02:09] For shadow-boxers to strike home

[00:02:30] We saw by the first light of dawn

[00:02:35] The outlined cities of the plain and see them still

[00:02:45] Surrounded by the pastures of their tenantry

[00:02:57] On land we have not taken yet

[00:03:01] Innumerable blades of wheat salute the sun

[00:03:09] Our children race downhill unflustered into peace

[00:03:19] We will not sow their fields with salt

[00:03:24] Or burn their standing crop

[00:03:34] We built these terraces for them alone

[00:03:41] The virtuous American and the Chinese

[00:03:47] Make manifest their destinies in time

[00:03:54] We toast that endless province

[00:03:57] Whose frontier we occupy from hour to hour

[00:04:06] Holding in perpetuity the ground our people won today

[00:04:17] From vision to inheritance

[00:04:23] From vision to inheritance

[00:04:29] From vision

[00:04:34] From vision

[00:04:39] From vision to inheritance

[00:05:21] All patriots were brothers once

[00:05:32] Let us drink to the time when they shall be brothers again

[00:05:41] Let us drink to the time when they shall be brothers again

[00:05:50] Again

[00:05:52] Again

[00:05:54] Again

[00:05:55] Again

[00:05:57] Again
