最喜欢的一首英文歌: Blowin' in the Wind, Bob Dylan (UMN alumnus)

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

This is the first English song that I really love. I still remember that I saw the lyrics and heard the song from a cassette in Li Yang's "Crazy English" eight years ago :)

I heard this song first in the movie "Forest Gump" (it was sung by Forest's lover "Jenny") and then I learned to sing this song in an English listening comprehension class in college. It's a very beautiful & touching song... plus easy to learn;)
