推薦筆譯社一年多前在這版第一次發文
版大 翻譯強烈熱鬧回應其實讓小弟受寵若驚
因故裝死了一年多而今天送上一篇翻譯文 XD

Adrian Smith的這段live solo好棒,第一次聽就愛上了!!
不外在youtube的網友有指出在4:22秒時Adrian的衣服上突然呈現星星隨後又消失
似乎是不小心剪到別場的表演 XD
歷史上真的有The Rime of the Ancient Mariner這一首詩
中文譯作"老水手之歌"或"古舟子詠"
是18世紀英國詩人Samuel Taylor Coleridge所寫的鉅作
而Harris叔叔寫的歌詞並沒有與原作相去太遠
詩中寄意深遠,富足有基督教的宗教概念
也有外文系 翻譯伴侶跟我說過很深邃,我翻到一半就有點悔怨了 XD
還參考了一些資料力求不要翻譯錯誤
