Hello darkness my old friend,i've come to talk with you again
嗨，黑暗，我的老朋友，我又来找你聊天了
because a vision softly creeping,left its seeds while i was sleeping
因为当我睡觉时，有个幻影在我脑海中留下了一颗种子，它在隐隐蠕动着，膨胀着
and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence
这个属于寂静之声的幻影仍然根植在我的脑海之中
in restless dreams i waked along narrow streets ofcobble stone beneath the halo of a streets lamp
在无止境的噩梦中我感觉自己在被街灯的光晕照耀下，独自一个人走在狭长的用鹅卵石铺成的街道上
i turned my collar to the cold and damp
为了抵挡阴冷和潮湿我竖起了衣领
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the light and touched the sound of silence
但我的眼睛被突然闪现的霓虹灯光，分割的光线所刺痛，深深感触到了这寂静之声
and in the maked light i saw ten thousand people maybe more.
（在这被人为分割出来的光线下）我看到了成千上万的人，
people talking without speaking,people hearing without listening,
他们相互聊着天，却没有人敢表达自己的想法。他们都在听着对方说话，却没有人愿意去倾听对方述说
people writing songs that voices never share and no one dare disturb the sound of silence
他们写着歌但没有一个人把自己的见解拿出来分享，没有一个人敢出来打破这个寂静之声
"fool"i said,"you do not know,silence like a cancer grows
“愚蠢的人啊！”我说，“你们不知道吗，这样的寂静会像癌症一样扩散啊。
hear my words that i might teach you,take my arms that i might reach you"
听到声音就请靠近我，牵起我的手让我感触到你们吧”
but my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence
但是我的言辞就像无声的雨点落下，敲打在这寂静之井里（没有丝毫回音）
and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
(麻木的)人们还是对着他们创造出来的光芒耀世的神下跪着，祈求着
and the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming
但是警醒人们的话语已经在劝告声中开始隐隐显现
and the signs said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenment halls
警醒人们的先驱者的话语，早已被写满了各处，地铁的墙上，廉价出租房的门廊上
whispering in the sounds of silence.
在这寂静之中不断的低低吟唱着。
