[Pick Yourself Up 振作自己]~李香凝自由滑片段(13-14)

中国女单小将李香凝在2013-2014赛季首次登上ISU赛场。她的自由滑节目是由两段小提琴演奏的曲目组成的。节目的第一部分我们都非常熟悉的小提琴版的肖邦“夜曲”，而节目后半部分的带有爵士风格的音乐则是一段根据电影歌曲改编的小提琴曲。这段旋律出自1936年的电影“Swing Time《摇摆乐时代》”中的歌曲“Pick Yourself Up(振作自己)”由Jerome Kern作曲, Dorothy Fields作词。

著名小提琴演奏家Yehudi Menuhin和StéphaneGrappelli将此曲改编演奏的小提琴二重奏版本也非常受欢迎。一起来欣赏：



电影“Swing Time”讲述了一个会跳舞的赌徒与两个女人的爱情故事：

男主角是一个舞蹈演员也是一个赌徒，演出结束后他马上要参加自己的婚礼。一起演出的同伴不想让他离开演艺界，就制造了很多麻烦阻止他参加婚礼。迟到一个多小时后，男主角才来到婚礼现场。新娘父亲很生气，但是听说他很能赚钱后，就决定让他赚够25000时再来来娶走自己的女儿。男主角经过一番波折后，坐上了开往纽约的火车，还捎上了自己的老搭档。到了纽约后，男主角阴差阳错的结识了同样会跳舞的女主角，老搭档同时也找到了喜欢的女人。男女主角发现他们一起跳舞很精彩后，决定去参加演出。男主角因为赌博耽误了演出，女主角很不开心。男主角一番解释后，两人冰释前嫌来到舞厅。想要表演时，他们但却遭到女主角仰慕者的阻拦——他不愿意为男主角演奏音乐。男主角和老搭档只好用赌博赢下了舞厅，男女主角终于跳起舞来。男女主角彼此已经相爱，但是男主角为了未婚妻，总是远离女主角。一番挣扎后，男主角选择了女主角，他们两人随即跳出了精彩的舞蹈。可是，未婚妻来找男主角，又让男女主角产生了误会，而且男主角与老搭档还输掉了舞厅。第二天，男主角向未婚妻提出分手，却发现女主角找他也是同样目的，大家开心的笑了起来。此时，失望的女主角决定与仰慕者结婚，男主角匆匆来到婚礼现场。他与老搭档捉弄了仰慕者一番破坏了婚礼，男女主角终于幸福的在一起了。

影片由舞蹈家Fred Astaire，Ginger Rogers领衔主演。这部电影的情节并不引人注目但是其中的音乐和舞蹈却使得这部影片成为一部经典名片。同样由Jerome Kern作曲, Dorothy Fields作词的片中插曲 "The Way You Look Tonight"赢得了奥斯卡最佳电影原创歌曲奖项。而这首诙谐幽默的“Pick Yourself Up”则是片中男主人公请求做女主人公的舞蹈学生时两人相互打气的二重唱。一起回顾一下这个电影画面：



歌词：
[He]
Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something.
I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst,
My two feet haven't met yet,
But I'll be teacher's pet yet,
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst.

[She]
Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start All over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

[He]
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait.

To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang on to your hand,
Maybe by the time I'm fifty
I'll get up and do a nifty.

[Both]
Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
