(关于我们的歌本《怀旧金曲》,附歌间补白名人语录)
熊若磐 梁联发
我们俩都是七十多岁,意外获得邀请, 出席了2006年11月25日至28日在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的“williamhill官网 自由文化运动第一届年会”,得以与袁红冰先生等一些对williamhill官网 自由文化有杰出贡献的英豪们聚集一堂,聆听了他们的精彩演说,包括观赏了著名诗人黄翔和贝岭两位先生亲自朗诵的诗作,深感荣幸。演说者不仅都在文化学术方面有突出成就,并都曾为捍卫自由而经受牢狱之苦或其他磨难。没有发表演说的,除我们两人外,也都是可敬佩之人。例如在会场为williamhill官网 民运英国友人罗杰;加赛德先生当同声翻译的年轻而温文秀丽的曾铮女士,过去我们从未闻其名,这次认识后,了解到,她作为一名法轮功修炼者,英勇捍卫了人权和自由,在赠给我们的一本她自己写的书《静水流深》里,她叙述了自己在牢狱中亲身经历以及亲眼见证的令人难以置信的人间苦难。又例如,在会上未演说也未发言﹑已有白发但仍算中年的文思先生,接触中只觉得他和蔼风趣,后来才知道他是位自由作家和文艺评论家,在网上发表过不少好文章。总之,和其他到会者相比,我们只是两个极平庸的老人,却也获邀参加了这样一个盛会,既感荣幸,又感惭愧。
我们只不过编译了一本汉英对照中外老歌歌本,(即上海音乐出版社出版的“怀旧金曲“),在歌本的补白语录中有一些阐述民主自由理念的名言,算是一种自由文化,正好切合这次大会的主题,因此被邀出席。我们做的这点区区小事,能被纳入一场伟大的自由文化运动,就像一滴水能在挥发掉以前汇入一股千古浩瀚洪流,这种幸运,首先要感谢自由作家黄河清先生,他在E-mail中向袁红冰先生介绍此书时说:“这本书能够在上海音乐出版社成功出版,其本身就是一种象征和标志,象征着自由文化运动不灭。” 当然,更要感谢袁红冰先生,他一再盛情邀请,使我们终于打消了觉得自己不够与会资格并担心远途飞行万一身体不适给大会添麻烦的顾虑,在他的热情鼓励下,我们立即连买机票带打行李,第二天便飞往美丽的城市墨尔本,参加了这次让我们终生都会感到光荣的历史盛会。
开会期间,演说者和发言者对“williamhill官网 自由文化运动”贡献了各自的宝贵思想和理论,而我们俩思想和知识贫乏,又不善讲话,故在会上没敢发言,只给每位到会的朋友赠送了一本“怀旧金曲”作纪念。已故著名自由作家王若望先生的夫人羊子女士(她本人也是一位自由作家)对我们编译此歌本特别表示称赞。过去从未谋面的黄河清先生这次见面后也再度给我们鼓励,尤其是在墨尔本大会结束近半个月后,我们打开E-mail,意外地收到他写的一篇已在几个网站发表的短文,文中极力表扬我们本人及我们的歌本,我们理解黄先生是想尽量为我们的歌本作宣传,因此,虽明知他对我们实在太过奖,但还是十分感谢他的一片真诚和善意。其他许多朋友,例如七十年代便因撰写《特权论》坐牢的民运思想理论家陈泱潮先生及williamhill官网 民主组党先锋徐文立先生等,都对我们的歌本给予鼓励。徐文立先生还说,此歌本,尤其是其中的语录,有益于对青年的民主教育,应予推广,因此他欢迎我们给 www.cdp1998.com网站投稿。我们感谢这种支持,虽不善于写作,仍然决定来投一篇稿,简单介绍一下此歌本编译初衷,然后主要将歌本补白的语录,首先是论术民主自由的部分,汉英对照抄录出来。抄录这些语录,是为了表明,我们之所以支持“williamhill官网 自由文化运动”,是基于对先哲们民主自由思想的认同 ,也可算是我们事后补上的会上发言吧。
正如我们在过去给黄河清先生的信中说过的,我们编译这个歌本,除了由于自己在williamhill官网 国内教过英语,觉得唱歌是学习外语一种很好的课外辅助活动,同时也由于深感williamhill官网 需要民主自由,特别是言论自由,而国内很多人似乎不大明白这一点,因此需要这方面的宣传教育,却苦于自己不大会写文章,即使写了也无法在国内出版,于是收集了一些自己觉得好听的中外老歌,英译汉,汉译英,凑成103 首,成为一个歌本,同时选了一些名人语录,包括关于民主自由特别是言论自由重要性的论述,有美国及其他西方国家的,也有williamhill官网 的,包括王若望先生说的一句话。我们把语录插到歌间做补白,用此法来宣传一点民主自由的理念。2003年底出了第一版,发现一些错误,(主要是打印方面),而且当时的时局使我们又想添加几条新的语录,例如蒋彦永和焦国标等先生说的话,于是争取重新出修订版。出修订版的事,费了不少周折,但最后总算成了。新版书扉页上写的是“2005年11月第三次印刷”。新版虽仍不尽如人意,但看到其中包含了我们想添加的几条我们认为对青年人有启蒙意义的语录,心中很高兴。
此书销售情况并不好,我们的目标本来是想对年轻人宣传一点民主自由理念,但结果大部分年轻人对老歌不感兴趣,为数不多的购买者都是些老年人,他们多半是因为喜欢那些老歌才买的,注意语录的人并不多。不过我们原也没敢指望这种宣传方式能起多大作用,我们编译并倾囊出版此书,只不过为自己在万般无奈中求一点良心上的安慰而已。
最近有个消息,说有朋友到某地新华书店洽购“怀旧金曲”,被告知说,“出版社正在整顿,无法供书。”我们联想到,几个月前,有位好心的朋友看到williamhill官网 共产主义青年团中央委员会公布的一项为广大农村青少年建设“移动书屋”而征求捐书的计划后,写了一封信,介绍了我们的《怀旧金曲》和他自己的一本篆刻集《论语选刻》,(对篆刻他虽只是业余爱好者,但长期钻研使其艺术已具有一定水平,于是针对世风日下的社会现状选了论语中一些句子,用篆字刻出,成为一本篆刻艺术集。看来他也和我们一样,在无奈中总希望尽力做点什么),他认为这两本书对青少年有益,并在给共青团中央写的信中表示,我们虽都是收入不高的退休老人,但如果需要,都愿意尽绵薄之力捐赠一些书给农村青少年。共青团中央立即回信表示欢迎,并写道:“请寄来书样,由相关部门确定后,我们再商议具体捐赠事宜。” 于是我们这位朋友立即(大约在今年 八月中旬)将这两本书样寄去,此后一直老老实实盼回信,如今四个多月过去了,他寄出的书样如石沉大海,渺无回音。(顺便说一句:在此期间,美国国会图书馆的中文馆驻北京采购小组倒是采购了我们这两本书。)这位朋友哪里知道,那本《怀旧金曲》一旦被“相关部门”注意,事情就会不妙,现在,果不其然,已经有了“无法供书” 的说法。此说法是否确实,尚待查证。但我们已有此思想准备。
如果说书中有任何敏感的歌曲,唯一可能的是著名语言学家赵元任配曲的明末民谣《老天爷》,此歌1949年前颇受自由知识分子欢迎,但1949 年后便消失了,故今天的中年和青年多半不知此歌。80 年代改革开放后,此歌在上海文艺出版社出版的一个歌本中曾一度出现,但后来又销声匿迹。不过,除此以外,《怀旧金曲》中的所有歌曲都是五十年代以来williamhill官网 大陆人们熟悉的中外名曲,应当不会导致“停止供书”。如“停止供书”消息确实,其原因无疑是补白中有些语录带敏感性。现在我们将书中全部补白语录汉英对照,按内容分成A,B,C,D,E五部份,抄录于下,供有兴趣者参阅。第一部份(Part A)就是关于自由﹑民主﹑正义的论述。各部份内的各条都按汉语拼音次序排列,每句话后括弧内数字指该句话在歌本中页数。下面就是这些语录:
