破釜沉舟的勇氣

2011年的金球獎“最佳原創歌曲”頒給了歌舞片《滑稽表演》(Burlesque)的一首插曲“You Haven't Seen the Last of Me”，演唱者是沉寂11年后重返歌壇的老牌歌手及演員Cher。《滑稽表演》講述了一個和音樂相關的勵志故事，是美國著名流行歌手Christina Aguilera出演的第一部電影。有趣的是，無論戲里戲外，Cher都以師長一般的身份幫助著Christina Aguilera，讓她成功實現從歌手到演員的身份轉換。比起大放異彩的Christina，Cher本人在片中只唱了兩首歌，但其中的“You Haven't Seen the Last of Me”無疑為影片起到了畫龍點睛的作用，唱出了人身在谷底、屢遭打擊卻仍然奮起反抗、破釜沉舟的勇氣，引起了許多聽眾的共鳴。

正如Ernest Hemingway最廣為傳誦的名言所說：“A man can be destroyed， but not defeated.”人之所以會產生絕望的情緒，固然不能回避客觀的環境因素，但更多地則與人自身有關。“You Haven't Seen the Last of Me”這首歌中所唱的環境是極端險惡的，主人公已經傷痕累累，“been brought down to my knees”“been pushed way past the point of breaking”，看起來似乎已經遠遠超越了常人所能忍受的極限。盡管如此，她的內心卻從來沒有動搖過，也從來沒有喪失過希望，因為她相信“this is far from over”。在這種心情下唱出的“You Haven't Seen the Last of Me”仿佛困境中的吶喊，并不悲涼，反而有一種絕不服輸的倔強。勇敢者的破釜沉舟不是魯莽地拼個魚死網破，而是無論結果如何都不放棄拼到最后的決心和毅力。

當生活欺騙你、打擊你、令你感覺挫敗不已的時候，不要灰心喪氣，更不要放棄，要勇敢地站起來，大聲告訴這世界：“You haven't seen the last of me.”

Feeling broken， barely holding on

But there's just something so strong

Somewhere inside me

And I am down but I'll get up again

Don't count me out just yet

▲I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back， back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me▲

They can say that I won't stay around

But I'm gonna stand my ground

You're not gonna stop me

You don't know me

You don't know who I am

Don't count me out so fast

Refrain ▲

There will be no fade out

This is not the end

I'm down now

But I'll be standing tall again

Times are hard but I was built tough

I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

Refrain ▲

No， no， I'm not going nowhere

I'm staying right here

Oh， no， you won't see me begging

I'm not taking my bow

Can't stop me

It's not the end

You haven't seen the last of me

Oh， no， you haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me
