Hotel California　◎Eagles
　
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
奔馳於黑暗的沙漠路途，冷風穿過我一頭亂髮
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
菸草的溫暖氣味瀰漫
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
就在前方，我看見遠處閃動的光
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
頭愈加沉重，視線陷入昏暗
I had to stop for the night
我得找個地方過夜
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
她出現在門口，天命般的鐘聲響起
And I was thinking to myself,
我忖度，
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
這裡究竟是天堂，抑或是地獄
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
她燃起蠟燭指引我前方的路
There were voices down the corridor,
迴廊底部傳來絮語
I thought I heard them say...
我聽見他們說……
　
Welcome to the Hotel California
歡迎來到加州旅館
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
這誘人之地（這誘人之地）
Such a lovely face
多麼美妙的臉龐
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
這裡空餘的房間
Any time of year (Any time of year)
不論何時
You can find it here
歡迎你的到來
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
她沉溺於珠寶和名車造成的精神恍惚
　
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
她結識許多漂亮的男孩，並稱之為朋友
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
在庭院起舞，甜美的夏日汗水
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
藉舞蹈以記憶，有些則藉以遺忘
So I called up the Captain,
所以我呼叫侍者
"Please bring me my wine"
給我倒些酒
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
他說：「自從一九六九年，我們再沒有那樣的烈酒。」
And still those voices are calling from far away,
那些聲響不斷地從遠方傳來，
Wake you up in the middle of the night
在深夜喚我醒來
Just to hear them say...
只聽見他們說……
　
Welcome to the Hotel California
歡迎來到加州旅館
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
奇妙的所在（奇妙的所在）
Such a lovely face
那惹人憐愛的臉龐
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
在加州旅館享受人生
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
好得令人吃驚
Bring your alibis
帶著你逃逸的理由
　
Mirrors on the ceiling,
天花板的懸鏡
The pink champagne on ice
浮冰上的紅粉香檳
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
而她說：「我們在自己的監牢，做自己的囚犯。」
And in the master's chambers,
在主人的房間，
They gathered for the feast
他們聚集赴宴
They stab it with their steely knives,
他們以銳利的刀戳刺
But they just can't kill the beast
卻無法殺了那頭野獸
Last thing I remember, I was
我記得的最後一件事，是我
Running for the door
正逃向那門
I had to find the passage back
我必須找到逃出的道路
To the place I was before
回到我原先的道路
"Relax, " said the night man,
「放輕鬆，」守夜人對我說，
"We are programmed to receive.
我們照常接待旅客。
You can check-out any time you like,
你可以隨時退房，
But you can never leave! "
但你永遠不能離開！

◎小編有庠賞析
⠀　
此首Hotel California發表於1960年代，同名專輯可說是老鷹樂團最音樂事業最成功，商業銷量也最好的一張專輯。回顧歷經鄉村、西部、搖滾等風格的老鷹樂團，成員上也有所變動，連帶雜揉出獨特面貌。在第五張專輯收錄了這首歌，其吉他演奏多為人所稱頌，成為各地樂迷學習、模仿的經典。淒涼的吉他聲拉出荒涼的公路軸線，隨著樂音向黑暗延伸，鏡頭拉至敘述者面前，加入鼓聲。吉他聲賦予追索回憶的進程，鼓聲則穩定敘述語調，漸次堆展至副歌精準的和聲。
　
評論者對於詞中的情節有多重解釋，內容主要描寫敘述者在公路上奔馳，雜以描述當時美國洛杉磯的生活切面：狂歡、毒品、舞蹈、酒精等等意象，無法退房的加州旅館象徵難以脫逃的沉溺感。第一段敘述者動用多重感官，閃動的光、陰冷的風，以及鼻腔充滿的菸草味共同建構出荒涼景象。以上種種襯托加州旅館的誘人，為了未知可能隱含的傷害性製造更大的張力。主歌以主唱一人獨唱為主，進入副歌則加上合聲，除了呼應「我聽見他們說……」的承接句，開啟旅館內紛呈的景象。第一層張力由此產生，荒涼的環境中佇立炫目奢華的旅館，本質上的衝突除了是敘述者沉溺的理由，同時是後段敘述者發覺事態詭異的理由。
　
畫面中不斷提及的敘事對象「她」，彷彿具象化這座加州旅館，一步步引人進入，如「她燃起蠟燭指引我前方的路」。敘述者層層陷入「她」的舞蹈與夏日汗水，也順理成章地要了酒精，得到的回應卻是：「自從一九九六年，我們再沒有那樣的烈酒。」
　
類似形式的副歌，自此再次出現，產生不同意義：先前感到新奇而步入，如今熱情過度的人們顯得格格不入。中後段的吉他獨奏則給予聽者空間，如同換幕的效果，詩中的空行。進一步加深情緒之外，也做為後段啟示的鋪墊：「我們在自己的監牢，做自己的囚犯。」最後一節，一句歌詞令人不安，同樣以過去式寫成：「我記得的最後一件事，是我逃向那門」，除了描寫敘述者慌亂的行為，他記得的最後一件事是自己逃向門，那令人猜想那他現今身在何處？
　
整體情節製造懸疑，環境景色雖已大不相同，放置到當代仍可成立。在當時，奢糜作為生命逃逸方法的年代，內部的焦慮卻未曾消失。歌詞也許僅是描寫時代切面，但的確觸及了人類思考生命的終極問題。生命如同歌曲：器樂與人聲合唱中，澎拜的聲響反而加深神秘感與不確定感。轉述旅館景象的語調如沉重的叩問，一波波的器樂經歷高潮，而逐漸散退。歌中的人聲轉印至人群心中，揭露各有自己無法逃脫的加州旅館。

Avatar reclaims title as highest-grossing film

Blockbuster ( ) movie Avatar has retaken the highest-grossing ( ) film of all time ( ) spot thanks to its re-release in China.

The sci-fi epic ( ) debuted ( ) in 2009 and held the global box office title ( ) for a decade until it was overtaken ( ) by Marvel's Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Following its re-release in the world's biggest movie-watching market of China, worldwide total sales pushed it above the $2.8 billion mark ( ) on the weekend.

China has been the top-performing ( ) film market since pandemic lockdowns.

Director James Cameron's Avatar took in around $4 million on Friday alone which pushed it ahead of Endgame, according to distributor ( ) Walt Disney.

Disney owns both films after the company bought entertainment assets ( ) from Fox in 2019. It also owns the Titanic movie, which is third on the list of highest-grossing movies.

When Endgame passed Avatar in 2019, Mr. Cameron tweeted a picture of Avenger's Iron Man on the fictional ( ) Avatar universe of Pandora along with a congratulatory ( ) note.

He is currently working on four sequels ( ) to Avatar. The next film, which has been delayed several times, is currently scheduled for release in December 2022.

"We are proud to reach this great milestone ( ), but Jim (James Cameron) and I are most thrilled ( ) that the film is back in theatres during these unprecedented times, and we want to thank our Chinese fans for their support," said Avatar producer Jon Landau.

Chinese movie theatres have been open for several months now since pandemic-led shutdowns ( ), and local movies have also been enjoying some of their strongest box-office sales ever.

Ahead of ( ) its re-release in China, Avatar grossed around $760 million in the US and just over $2 billion internationally.

《阿凡達》重奪影史最暢銷寶座

賣座大片《阿凡達》在中國重新上映後，近日又重奪全球票房冠軍寶座。

這部科幻史詩大片於2009年首映，佔據全球票房冠軍寶座長達十年，直到2019年被漫威的《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》超車。

《阿凡達》在中國這個全球最大的電影市場重新上映後，上週末該片的全球票房突破了28億美元。

自從全世界都實施疫情封鎖之後，中國電影市場的表現一直是全球最佳。

發行方迪士尼公司稱，James Cameron導演的《阿凡達》光是上週五（3月12日）一天就創下400萬美元票房，超越了《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》。

2019年迪士尼從福斯收購娛樂資產後，這兩部電影就歸迪士尼所有了。在賣座電影排行榜上排名第三的《鐵達尼號》如今也屬於迪士尼公司。

2019年《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》票房超過《阿凡達》後，Cameron在推特上發了一張復仇者聯盟中鋼鐵人站在《阿凡達》裡虛構的潘朵拉星球上的圖片，並附上了賀詞。

眼下Cameron正在製作《阿凡達》的四部續集。下一部《阿凡達》電影目前計畫在2022年12月上映，此前已被推遲多次。

《阿凡達》製作人Jon Landau稱：「這個里程碑式的成就讓我們感到很驕傲，不過，吉姆（詹姆斯•柯麥隆）和我最興奮的是，在這一史無前例的時刻，這部電影又重新在影院上映。我們想感謝中國粉絲對《阿凡達》的支持。」

自從疫情迫使影院關閉後，中國電影院如今已經開放了數個月，該國本土電影甚至迎來了有史以來最火爆的票房。在中國重映前，《阿凡達》在美國收穫了約7.6億美元票房，全球票房也勉強超過20億美元。
