Lyrics: Yoga Lin – Empathy (Translation of 林宥嘉 – 感同身受)
没想到，终于有机会为我的心灵哥哥表示什么了！当然，翻译林宥嘉歌曲的不只我一个。只修读过3个月文艺翻译课程的我，根本不能称自己翻译有多棒。不过，《感同身受》不仅是我翻译歌词的开响炮；林夕的歌词也深深表达了我今日所追求及勉励的人生态度。翻译它，算是延续宥嘉的音乐和态度吧？希望宥嘉可以一直指引我们歌迷的远方！
I can’t believe I’m finally getting the chance to do something for my spiritual brother! Of course, I’m not the only one who has translated Yoga Lin‘s songs. Having only studied 3 months of literary translation, I can hardly claim my translation to be any good. Yet not only is <Empathy> my first lyrics translation; Lin Xi’s lyrics also encapsulate the life ethos that I seek and promote today. I guess this translation counts as extending Yoga’s music and ethos? Hope Yoga can keep guiding us fans into the unknown!
