自恋，自我，大我？

       著名美国老牌歌手法兰克，辛纳特拉（Frank Sinatra）有首名曲名为My Way 。

      

       原歌词以及试译如下：

And now, the end is near; 
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear, 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

此刻，终点已近，

面对人生最后的落幕。

我的朋友，让我细述自我肯定的平生。

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway; 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

我曾有过丰盛的人生，

我也走过人生的每一条“高速大道”，

最重要的是，我以自己的方式走过。

Regrets, I've had a few; 
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
后悔？曾有些许，但微不足道。

我做我该做的，并且无一例外的完成这些事。

I planned each charted course; 
Each careful step along the byway, 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.
我仔细衡量每条必经之路，在小路行走也步步为营。

最重要的是，我以自己的方式走过。

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall; 
And did it my way.

是的，相信你也知道，我也曾有贪功失算的时候。但在过程中，当问题差错出现，我会硬吞下它，再吐出来。同时：我也会屹立面对，并以自己的方式来处理。

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, 
I find it all so amusing.

我曾恋爱，欢笑和哭泣。也曾经有得有失。

如今，当泪水不再，我发现一切都那么可笑。

To think I did all that; 
And may I say - not in a shy way, 
"Oh no, oh no not me, 
I did it my way".

想想我所做过的种种，让我毫不掩饰自豪的说：我都以自己的方式完成！

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels; 
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way! 
人在世上，最终又能拥有什么？如果失去了自我，那他就一无所有。

所以说话必须从心而发，而不是奴颜婢膝。虽然因此使我受到许多打击，但我还是选择“我行我素”！

Yes, it was my way.

是的，还是“我行我素”！

      这首歌看来很方便一些人“对号入座”或“借花献佛”（我们媒体的本能和本性？！），只是如果对象“嘴上无毛”，就无谓大煞风景和自取其辱了。

      把My Way译成“我的方式”似乎准确但无趣，因此，虽然不尽贴切或略带意气傲气，但My Way或许也可理解为“我行我素”或 “一意孤行”。

      以往听这首歌就像是在听一个“大人物”一生的自我总结，其中不乏苍茫豪情，也略显煽情，但总归不失为一首好歌。其词意虽不比毛泽东的沁园春-北国风光的磅礴大气，最低限度比起一般时下许许多多风花雪月，无病呻吟的流行歌曲强多了。

       只是这几天听这首歌竟有前所未有的感触- 其中有些句子居然也令人联想到：对某些人而言这可能是一种自恋或自我陶醉，对某些人也可能是一种体现（无私？）“大我”的一种说法。只是其中或难免也有“一将功成万骨枯”的成份？毕竟：除了执着， “我”还是多了点！
