“Life is not the destination, the important thing is the scenery along the way.”

「人生最重要的並非目的地，而是沿途風景。」我漸漸能理解這句話。

三年前在英國曾經踏上的科茲窩小鎮Bibury，Arlington Row cottages的雪景和藍色天空，那一天的美麗景色依舊歷歷在目。

看音乐剧学文化系列第一话：Bluebird?

最近两个月三次在音乐剧里听见bluebird，这蓝鸟究竟是个什么存在。先看看歌词里怎么用的:

As We Stumble Along (音乐剧The Drowsy Chaperone)
And the best that we can do / Is hope a blue bird / Will sing his song / As we stumble along.
我们能做的只有，希望一只蓝鸟，唱他的歌，陪我们一路颠簸

I'm Like the Bluebird (音乐剧Anyone Can Whistle)
I'm like the bluebird / I should worry, I should care / I should be a millionaire / I'm like the bluebird...
我是只蓝鸟，我该忧心天下事，我该腰缠万贯银，我是只蓝鸟

Lazarus (音乐剧Lazarus)
Just like that bluebird / Now, ain't that just like me? / Oh, I'll be free / Just like that bluebird / Oh, I'll be free
就像那蓝鸟，可不是跟我一样，哦我会解脱，就像那蓝鸟，哦得到自由

歌词里看起来，像是象征幸运或者自由。然而谷歌说，蓝鸟代表快乐幸福，换句话说，就是洋人的喜鹊。

系列完结。

补一句，前两个都是老剧或者"老"剧，David Bowie也是老人，所以蓝鸟这种说法咱懂什么意思就行啦，日常英文对话甚至写作里用起来怕会有点老气。

再补：谢@归来的D 补充，蓝鸟中文一般翻成青鸟。

继续补：谢@Tiki1207 补充，比利时著名话剧《青鸟》里的青鸟跟这个青鸟是同一款青鸟。

My landscape painting revealed a number of Grottoes Along the River. This is a 40x80cm oil and metallic acrylic piece and I think it ranks right up there with my favorite works so far. I painted it wet-on-wet and any artist will tell you how difficult that is to do. Have not framed it yet, but it is available in my Chengdu studio gallery for viewing and sale. The number of figures that appeared in the details of the piece along the shoreline amazed me and I am sure you can discover them if you look closely. [太阳][太阳]
