Tea time is the time which I will share you with the English song.
**
I always want to sing the English song after my English Class in the weekend.I told you that I have bought the CD about Folk songs. It made me so excited.
In the past experience,I always knew the songs about the melody(弦律) or how to sing the vice song(副歌). It was a few of English songs that I could sing it entire propertly.
HA HA!! (哈哈)
Now I try to share one of a folk song that take me home (鄉村民謠風) in CD. Maybe I will do this every week if I would not too lazy or buzy.
Dear friends…..
If you like the song that I showed you here, you can call me on MSN. I will pass you the song.Now I am finding the feeling with English that I missed. Remember it!! I liked English very much even wanted to marry the foreign people when I was teenager.
Thanks for reading my English. I will practice my poor English sometimes in my dairy. It may like to talk with you. So don’t mind the grammar too much.ha ha !!( 嘿嘿！！)
If I make the big mistake, you could give me the suggestion to make me better.
It is a new try for me. I will try to understand the songs and talk English more.
Now I will share you with the songs as following……
Ellie

這是美國民歌史上最重要的作品之一，原作者是被公認為『民歌一代宗師』的 Bob Dylan。不過第一個把它唱紅的卻是 Peter, Paul & Mary 三重唱，並且在 1963 年奪得全美排行的亞軍。第二次世界大戰，使得所有參戰國都元氣大傷，美國也不例外。戰後的新生代由於不願重蹈父兄的覆轍，建立起了新的價值觀。對於上一代所喜愛的一切，幾乎全盤予以否定，甚至開創了全新的搖滾文化。1957 年，越戰爆發，美國介入了這場戰爭。投入大量人力、物力，還派遣子弟兵遠渡重洋，前往越南戰場，造成了慘重的傷亡。美國社會掀起了一股反戰的熱潮，在此同時，民歌也開始在全美各地校園流行起來。許多知識青年不僅利用他們所創作的民歌發表抗議的聲音，更積極的加入示威的群眾運動。
Bob Dylan 在傳奇性的民歌宗師 Woody Guthrie 啟迪下進入民歌界。很快的以獨特的風格在格林威治村以及各大校園受到注意。1962 年四月，他以深具內涵的創作技巧譜出《Blowing in the Wind》的時候，才是個二十歲剛出頭的小夥子。
這是他最早的『抗議歌曲』，對人們傳統觀念中『男子漢』的定義提出了質疑。
他希望世人能以和平而理性的態度來解決爭端。不要再對世間的不幸視而不見、聽而不聞，更不要再讓無辜的人們繼續喪生在戰火之中。
不過，儘管 Bob Dylan 的創作內涵受到了肯定，他的歌喉卻實在不討喜。
因此他早期的好些作品都是藉由其他藝人的歌聲才成名的。其中又以 Peter, Paul & Mary 功勞最大，連續唱紅了好幾首他的作品。這支三重唱也是美國民歌史上最重要的團體之一。除了完美的和聲外，三位團員積極參與各種抗議的群眾運動，數十年如一日，堅持的信念跟態度和他們的歌聲一樣出名。
他們成立於 1961 年，《Blowing in the Wind》也是他們藉以成名的最重要作品之一。雖然《Blowing in the Wind》的時代背景是越戰時期的美國社會，但是這首歌的意境卻可以說是『放諸四海皆準』始終深受世界各地人們的喜愛。
當東歐與中東各地戰火頻傳，當國人為政府與某些民間企業的不當措施採取激烈抗爭手段的時候，總是令人不禁又想起這首歌曲。
解決爭端的方法其實顯而易見，就像是飛揚在風中一樣，只是有幾人肯去傾聽呢？ ── 取自蔣國男先生的文章
