什么是万圣节大游行(Halloween Parade)?

  【背景知识】

  纽约市的万圣节大游行 (Halloween Parade) 堪称是纽约格林威治村 (Greenwich Village) 的年度盛事 (annual event)。这个游行源于1973年,刚开始只是一位面具制作家 (mask maker) 兼木偶操作师 (puppeteer) Ralph Lee 的简单想法。当时他带着几个小孩在社区内办了一次小型的万圣节游行。第二年,纽约剧院邀请他将此构想带上大街,开始了一年一度的大游行。后来10月的最后一周正式被定为"万圣周"(Halloweek)。

  现在,每年大约有三万名化装的游行者和近二百万人前来观赏。阵容庞大的游行队伍里,随处可见各式各样的奇异装扮 (fancy costume),即使是看尽千奇百怪的纽约人 (New Yorker)也对它啧啧称奇。此外,还有数人同时操作的巨大人偶 (giant puppet),将奇幻的意象具体呈现出来。最后,游行路线 (route)会来到纽约市最狂野的同性恋区,大街小巷挤满了尽情表演的变装人 (cross-dresser),为这场疯狂大聚会划下完美的句号。

  大游行每年都会搭配不同的主题 (theme),比如环保、爱滋病等。去年因为"9o11"恐怖袭击事件 (terrorist attacks),格林威治村树立起(erect)一座振翅飞起的凤凰雕像 (statue of the phoenix),象征纽约市的重生 (reborn after a baptism of fire)。今年的游行主题则是"玩乐" (play),想必世界各地游行爱好者已经蠢蠢欲动,我们就拭目以待 (Let's wait and see) 吧

  今天为大家推荐的这首Halloween Parade就是对万圣节大游行的描写,歌词对万圣节游行描写的惟妙惟肖,歌手肯定是参加过好多次这样的游行的。

  Lou Reed - Halloween Parade Lyrics

  There's a down town fairy singing out "Proud Mary"

  as she cruises Christopher Street

  And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean

  where the docks and the Badlands meet

  This Halloween is something to be sure

  Especially to be here without you

  There's a Greta Garbo and an Alfred Hitchcock

  and some black Jamaican stud

  There's five Cinderellas and some leather drags

  I almost fell into my mug

  There's a Crawford, Davis and a tacky Cary Grant

  And some Homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the Bronx

  But there ain't no Hairy and no Virgin Mary

  you won't hear those voices again

  And Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita

  you'll never see those faces again

  This Halloween is something to be sure

  Especially to be here without you

  There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers

  and some crack team from Washington Heights

  The boys from Avenue B and the girls from Avenue D

  a Tinkerbell in tights

  This celebration somehow get me down

  Especially when I see you're not around

  There's no Peter Pedantic saying things romantic

  In Latin, Greek or Spic

  There's no Three bananas or Brandy Alexander

  Dishing all their tricks

  It's a different feeling that I have today

  Especially when I know you've gone away

  There's a girl from Soho with a teeshirt saying "I Blow"

  She's wi
