When You Are Old
——William Butler Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look,
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

这首古诗，相信知道的人很少，当时听过的人肯定不少。

! ~) X5 M7 [- @# B% W( g" @/ p! T魂断蓝桥里面的主题曲就是这个古诗，《友谊天长地久》，而去年夏天热播的《欲望城市》里面，圣诞节的时候，CARRIE穿着睡衣穿过一个城市去看MARADA的时候，放的也是这首古诗，《友谊天长地久》，每一年的新年舞会，如果你有机会参加西方的GALA的话，零点钟声敲响以后，一定会响起这首名曲-------  Should auld acquanintance be forgot，  And never brought to mind? 那些相识已久的老友们就应该在时光里面逝去，再也不被提起么？~~

这首古诗是1788年在苏格兰写成的，因为他的格式简单，语言简练，很有古诗十九首的风格。但是由于现在的英语风格发生了重大的变化，这首诗不容易被读懂，因此导致了其在中国的流行程度大大打折了。但是，这首诗在西方古典文学上面的成就不亚于我们常记得那个句“劝君更进一杯酒，西出阳关无故人”。

当然，我最爱的还是SEX AND THE CITY 里面，当40岁的CARRIE，在婚礼上面被BIG抛弃的CARRIE,一个人过年的CARRIE, 在这嘶哑的苏格兰女声里面，穿着睡衣，坐着地铁，穿过曼哈顿，去看另外一个孤独地，分居的女友，MARIADA，她拥抱她的那一刻，那一句，U R NOT ALONE,重新演绎了这首古诗在我心里的感觉。

0 z6 S1 O0 m* @7 ~还是用CARRIE的那句话结束这首诗吧
They say, nothing last forever. Dreams change,trains come and go, but friendships, never go out of style.
