《悲慘世界》經典絕美英文獨白

I dreamed a dream in time gone by， when hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed that love would never die. I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid. And dreams were made and used and wasted. There was no ransom to be paid， no song unsung， no wine untasted. But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder. As they tear your hope apart， as they turn your dream to shame.

On my own， pretending he’s beside me. All alone， I walk with him till morning. Without him， I feel his arms around me. And when I lose my way， I close my eyes and he has found me. In the rain， the pavement shines like silver. All the lights are misty in the river. In the darkness， the trees are full of starlight. And all I see is him and me forever and forever！

Take my hand， I lead you to salvation. Take my love， for love is everlasting. And remember the truth that once was spoken， to love another person is to see the face of God. Do you hear the people sing lost in the valley of the night？ It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth， there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

And I know it’s only in my mind. That I’m talking to myself and not to him， and although I know that he is blind. Still I say there’s a way for us. I love him. But when the night is over， he is gone， the river’s just a river. Without him， the world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere， the streets are full of strangers.

曾幾何時，我流連夢境，心比天高，人生充滿希望。我夢見愛情永不消逝。我夢見上帝慈愛寬恕。那時我多么年輕，多么無畏。隨心夢想，從不設防。不必付出什么代價，我們無歌不唱，無酒不嘗。然而猛獸在黑夜來襲，如晴天霹靂轟然炸響，活生生撕碎了希望，把美夢變成了懊悔。

一個人，假裝他在我身旁。孤單單，他陪我走到天亮。他不在，我卻能感受到他的擁抱。迷路時，只需閉上雙眼，他就會找到我。雨朦朧，地面銀光閃爍?？唇譄簦澈铀鐭熑鐗?。黑暗中，樹枝間綴滿星辰。我仿佛看見我倆相伴，直到永遠！

牽著我的手，我來領你得到拯救。接受我的愛，因為愛是永恒。并且牢記，那個已揭示過的真理，凡愛他人者，就能見上帝。聽啊，人們在歌唱，黑夜幽谷，歌聲回蕩。那是一個民族在歡呼，翻山越嶺見光芒。人間困苦都嘗遍，還有一線希望未泯滅。哪怕是長夜漆黑，也將升起太陽。

我知道，這不過是我的想象。那些話都是我自言自語，也知道他只會視而不見。但仍覺得，我們還有希望。我愛他，但當黑夜結束，他消失了，河又變回了平凡的河。沒有他，我周圍的一切都變了。到處都是光禿禿的樹木，街上都是陌生的目光。
