Violin: A Time For Us
From Movie Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Romeo and Juliet is a 1968 British-Italian cinematic adaptation of the William Shakespeare play of the same name. It is a tragic love story between Romeo and Juliet. The story happens in Verona, Italy. Romeo and Juliet, the teenaged children of two feuding families (Montagues and Capulets, respectively), meet at a feast and fall in love. They are secretly married by Romeo's confessor and father figure, Friar Laurence, with the assistance of Juliet's nursemaid. Unfortunately, a street duel breaks out between Juliet's cousin Tybalt and Romeo's friend Mercutio when Tybalt insults Romeo. However, since Romeo has just been married to his cousin, he refuses to fight, leading Mercutio to be a loyal friend and fight for him. This leads to Mercutio's death. Romeo retaliates by killing Tybalt, and is penalized by the Prince of Verona with banishment.

Unaware of Juliet's secret marriage, her father has arranged for her to marry wealthy Count Paris. In order to escape this arranged marriage and remain faithful to Romeo, Juliet consumes a potion prepared by Friar Laurence, intended to make her appear dead for 42 hours. Friar Laurence plans to inform Romeo of the hoax so that he can pick Juliet up after her burial and escape with her when she recovers from her swoon, but the news of Juliet's death reaches Romeo before the friar's letter. In despair, he drinks a poison and thus kills himself by Juliet's side in the Capulets' tomb. Awakening shortly after he expires, Juliet discovers a dead Romeo and proceeds to stab herself with his dagger. Later, the two families process into their joint funeral together, implying that the tragedy has resolved their feud.

祝贺你搬成功了。是的,《The Rose》是一首情歌,歌词写的好,写出了爱情的执着,旋律也很缠绵,这首歌曲有不同的版本,我最喜欢的还是Bette Midler演唱的。

谢谢贝卡,你送我的贴子和你的指教。 俺终于把它贴进家了!

The Rose 我也喜欢。她的歌词是指爱情的, 俺赞同歌里的思想。俺如今也觉得人常常会盲目,顺服神的带领人终会到达芳草鲜美之地的。

另一首From a Distance 我不熟悉,但从歌词看好像是指其它情形的。不知理解对否。

再感谢你, 保重, 晚安!

Bette Midler演唱的[The Rose],[Wind Beneath My Wings]and[From the distance]等都是我喜欢的英语歌曲之一。

Thanks again,

呵呵,这个还真不容易。法律门类繁多, 我们用的权威的词典是 Black's Law Dictionary,里面是英文法律单词或短语的定义。 包括各类法律门类。 特别是, 有不少古罗马沿袭下来的拉丁术语, 有定义也有音标注释。

有兴趣研究法律的存一本这个字典是很有帮助的, 但它很厚,不便携带。 据我所知,还没见过有人把这本字典翻译成中文。

中文法律词典还在发展中,因中国大量立法都是自1990年以后才制定的, 有些部分法律门类的英汉法律术语对照,不带音标的。 如果你想熟悉中国法中的对应名词, 应该是有用的。 我平常不用这种辞典,在国内的那本也早过时了。 如果你搜搜“英汉汉英法律词典”, 可能会找到比较最近几年编写的词典。我看了一下, 比较粗燥,没有音标, 词也不全。 若我发现好的, 再转告你吧。

或许,有人应该好好编一本对照词典, 或者翻译Black's Law Dictionary。

苗青青律师好,谢谢你从你职业的角度来探讨如何避免这个爱情悲剧。而我更多的从文学的角度来欣赏,莎士比亚撰写的这个爱情悲剧,是经典的传世文学作品。文学虽然来自生活,却高于生活的。

请教苗青青律师,你是否可以推荐一本比较好的,有音标的,中英对照的,简单的法律字典?谢谢你。
苗青青 回复 悄悄话 俺律师的习惯又来了,想想有什么可以避免这个悲剧结局呢,关键在罗密欧。 爱人死去对他精神确是无法可解的刺激。

但是,若是他此时除了感情,理智尚起一点儿作用, 知道无论如何杀人和自杀都是不被上帝许可的,因而不走此路,那么,经过这段儿极度的伤心, 他就会发现一个奇迹等着他,他会有个美好生活美好前途等着他。

令人叹息的是他仍太年轻,情绪化,没了解生活中许多的奥秘, 奇迹是可能的。。。
