Hotel California(加州旅馆)
The eagles(老鹰乐队)
老鹰乐队(Eagles)是崛起在70年代初期具有广泛影响力的摇滚乐队
1976年是Eagles最为辉煌的一年，年底推出的第五张专辑《Hotel California》
并被誉为70年代美国最重要的专辑。
在这张专辑里，"Eagles“以一种极为颓废暧昧的方式反映了70年代美国世风日下、
混沌与散漫的社会风气”。这首同名单曲《Hotel California》
更是Eagles的一部完美之作，其诡异莫名的歌词、感人心弦的旋律，
几乎把上世纪70年代所有的忧伤与迷惘卷携殆尽。
《Hotel California》自面世开始，立即就引来很多的质疑与批评。
许多人都不能理解歌词后段扑朔迷离的场面在昭示什么。
这部歌曲的内容如同小说一样，离开了作者后要由听者来解释.....
On a dark desert highway.行驶在昏黑的荒漠公路上
Cool wind in my hair.凉风吹过我的头发
Warm smell of colitas 温馨的colitas香
Rising Up through the air 弥漫在空气中
Up ahead in the distance.抬头遥望远方
I saw a shimmering light 我看到一丝微弱的灯光 。(从这一句开始往下可理解为吸毒后的感觉)
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 我的头越来越沉,视线也变得模糊。
I had to stop for the night 我不得不停下来过夜
There she stood in the doorway 她站在门那儿等候我 (这里的她指的是不是 毒品)
I heard the mission bell 我听到远处教堂的钟声 。(可理解为警钟，心底的良知在呼喊。)
And I was thinking to myself 我在心里对自己说
This could be heaven or this could be hell 这里也许是天堂也可能是地狱
Then she lit up a candle 她点燃了蜡烛 (点燃大麻)
And she showed me the way 并给我引路 (引向幻境)
There were voices down in corridor 走廊深处传来阵阵说话声
I thought I heard them say... ...我想我听到他们在说……
