因為我名字有個"梅"字, 想取個 M 開頭的英文名字. 高中時用了幾天的 "Mary", 由於她是菜市場名字, 又是我以前飼養的狗狗名, 因而作罷. 大一時, 偶然聽到一首悅耳動聽的英文老情歌 Mandy, 遂改用 Mandy. 在第一家貿易公司上班時, 有位阿兜仔老先生在交換名片後, 兩眼昏花的直喊我 "Wendy". 我只好鄭重的正名, 小女子我是 "Mandy", 不是 "溫蒂漢堡" 的 "Wendy". (溫蒂漢堡是美國第三大漢堡包快餐連鎖店, 曾經做為李安執導的電影"飲食男女"的場景之一. 因不敵麥當勞和肯德基, 在1999年底已撤出台灣市場.) 1988年進入現在任職的公司, 老闆當時給我一個很優的註解: Mandy = Man 的 = 男人的 = 人見人愛 ! (字典上寫: Mandy 的涵義是 "值得愛的" lovable, fit to be loved) 好美的名字啊! 老闆的弟弟則叫我 "林曼蒂", 我總愛捉狎的回他: 我是 "慢遞", 不是 "快遞"喔! 最近晉升為 "Mandy姑娘", 聽起來年輕二十幾歲, 可見我 Mandy 也不是浪得虛名的哦! (我問過客戶們 "姑娘"是否為時下的流行語呀! 真難為情!) 前幾天叫小兒子放 Mandy 的歌來聽聽. 他驚訝的問: Mandy 也有歌哦!? 是歌名還是演唱者的名字? 聽完之後, 想不到他一直叫我: Oh, Mandy..... Oh, Mandy...... 看倌們有興趣的話, 可欣賞聆聽 Barry Manilow 或 "西城男孩 Westlife" 演唱的 Mandy 這首老情歌. ** 上圖為苗栗南庄桂花園 2010.1.23 ** ** 附上引用自網路上的歌詞和翻譯 ** = QUOTE = I remember all my life Raining down as cold as ice, Shadows of a man A face through a window Crying in the night The night goes into Morning, just another day Happy people pass my way Looking in their eyes I see a memory I never realized How happy you made me oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy (music) I'm standing on the edge of time I've walked away when love was mine Caught up in a world of uphill climbing Tears are on my mind And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy (music) Yesterday's a dream I face the morning Crying on a breeze The pain is calling, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy You came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy You kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say Oh baby don't let me throw it all it away Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say And I need you today... Oh Mandy... 回首往事 淒風冷雨 孤單的身影 凝神窗外 黑暗中的淚水 與夜色一同滑落 黎明又是新的一天 快樂的人們掠過眼前 那些眼神 喚起回憶 從未發現 你曾是我快樂的源泉 曼蒂 你爲我付出 不求索取 但我卻讓你離開 曼蒂 你給我溫暖 讓我不再顫抖 我需要你 曼蒂 回首往事 當愛在身邊 我卻走遠 去追尋征服的世界 如今淚濕胸膛 生活曲不成調 曼蒂 昨日恍然入夢 黎明到來 眼淚飄在風中 心仍在痛 曼蒂 你爲我付出 不求索取 但我卻讓你走遠 曼蒂 你給我溫暖 讓我不再顫抖 我需要你 曼蒂 曼蒂 能否請你聽我的解釋 曼蒂 請聽我滿心的懺悔 我現在需要你 曼蒂 = UNQUOTE = |
