Feeling sick? Dizzy? Vulnerable? Aching? It might be the onset of flu. Instead, though,
it might be what film and TV star Helen Mirren describes when “there is that awful moment
when you realise that you’re falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and it’s not.
It’s always a moment that’s full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is
going to rapidly be followed by some pain. All the angst of a relationship.”
不舒服？暈眩？脆弱？疼痛？它可能是流感的徵兆。相反，雖然，這可能就是電影和電視
明星海倫·米倫描述了“當你意識到你正在戀愛，這是那個可怕的時刻“。這應該
是最喜悅的時刻，但事實並非如此。這個時刻它總是充滿了恐懼，因為你知道，日以繼夜
，快樂也將伴隨苦痛。關係充盈了憂慮“。
Here then come high hopes followed by high anxiety about losing control. You might be
in love, but “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” as the Shirelles put it. A couple of weeks
ago we had the theme of seduction songs, with a very fine A-list, but this week’s theme is
far more about what happens to the heart, and other parts of the mind and body, aside from
the loins, in songs that describe the feeling of falling for somebody on an emotional and
all-consuming level. We have previously, in the distant past, had topics of first love, unrequited
love and devoted love, but of course many great songs did not make the lists. So are there
plenty out there about falling in love? I think there might well be.
如此寄予厚望隨後失去控制而高焦慮。你可能陷入愛情，而Shirelles 放了首
“明天你還會愛我嗎？”。幾個星期前，我們有主題關於魅力的歌曲，用很細致的A-list，
但本週的主題是更多關於生在內心的東西，心靈和身體的其他部位，撇開下半身，歌曲描述
愛上某人的情感和所有消耗的程度。我們先前，在遙遠的過去，有初戀的，不求回報的愛和
忠貞的愛情等主題，但當然很多偉大的歌曲並沒有清單。那麼，在那裡有沒關於戀愛的部分？
我覺得很可能是。

But how does falling in love really feel? Like floating on air? Like a buzz of electricity
on your veins? For inspiration, let’s look back then to a bit of adolescent excitement
as John Gordon Sinclair plucks up the courage to ask Dee Hepburn something in
Bill Forstyth’s timelessly touching Gregory’s Girl from 1981.
但談戀愛真的有何感覺？就像漂浮在空中？像在你的靜脈電擊的嗡嗡聲？為靈感，
讓我們來回顧一下從1981年在Bill Forstyth的經典感動電影格雷戈里的女孩劇情裡
有點青春期興奮的約翰·戈登·辛克萊鼓起勇氣去約迪·赫本的片段。
Gregory's Girl: Gregory asks Dorothy out 发布人 Gregorysgirlchannel
Dorothy. She’s a modern gurrl ...
多蘿西。她是一個現代女性...
But was Gregory really falling for the right girl? How do you know when it’s really love?
Let’s take a look then at a public information film for young people back in 1950
entitled, rather appropriately, How Do You Know It’s Love? “It’s nothing like the slush
they give you in the movies,” they instruct us. Oh dear, sorry. That’s me told, then.
但格雷戈里真的愛上了適合的女孩嗎？你怎麼知道什麼是真正的愛？讓我們來
看看，在1950年一個位年輕人拍攝的公眾資訊紀錄片年輕人早在有權，提名適當的，
你怎麼知道這是愛？
“這完全不是亂扯，”他們在電影給予並教我們。哦，親愛的，對不起。這
是我說的。
Think you’re falling in love? Steady on there. Watch and learn.
覺得你墜入愛河？在那裡很沉穩的。觀看和學習。
Falling in love isn’t easy, and you might fall for the wrong person who is unobtainable
in some way. But that doesn’t make your feelings any less important. So even though
the topic has come up before, other songs about unrequited love should also definitely
be in the running.
戀愛不容易，你可能愛上了錯誤的人是無法以某種方式獲得。但是，這並不
讓你的感情變得不那麼重要。因此，即使之前話題拿出，無回報等的歌曲也應該肯
定是在運行。
Now, despite what they told us in 1950, I want to take you on another date to the movies.
We don’t have to hold hands or anything. But what more moving subject than to go even
further back to 1945, and a terribly, terribly moving scene between Celia Johnson and
Trevor Howard in Brief Encounter. Their final farewell is ruined by simply ghastly, rude
woman. Oh, the cruelty of railway stations, and circumstance.
現在，儘管在1950年他們告訴我們，，我要改天帶你去看電影。我們沒有牽手或
任何東西。或者更往前到1945年有更多的運作的主題，在相見恨晚電影裡西莉亞·約翰
和特雷弗·霍華德之間非常可怕可怕的一幕。他們最後的告別是真得糟透了，粗魯的女人。
哦，殘酷火車站的和環境。
1. Can’t help to fall in love
2. Fall in love again
3. (I can’t help to ) fall in love with you
4. Fall in love again
5. This moment
6. Your love
A cruel farewell in Brief Encounter
在相見恨晚一個殘酷的告別
