[00:04.48]《The Boxer》- Simon and Garfunkel 
[00:06.41]I am just a poor boy.
[00:08.45]Though my story's seldom told,
[00:11.18]I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.22]For a pocketful of mumbles,
[00:16.33]Such are promises
[00:19.91]All lies and jest
[00:21.53]Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:24.48]And disregards the rest.
[00:36.13]When I left my home
[00:37.59]And my family,
[00:38.93]I was no more than a boy
[00:41.13]In the company of strangers
[00:43.88]In the quiet of the railway station,
[00:46.55]Running scared,
[00:48.51]Laying low,
[00:51.80]Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:54.39]Where the ragged people go,
[00:57.04]Looking for the places
[00:58.79]Only they would know.
[01:01.85]CHORUSLie-la-lie.....
[01:18.03]Asking only workman's wages
[01:20.28]I come looking for a job,
[01:22.64]But I get no offers.
[01:25.85]Just a come-on from the whores
[01:27.96]On Seventh Avenue
[01:31.70]I do declare,
[01:33.43]There were times when I was so lonesome
[01:36.40]I took some comfort there.
[03:18.63][02:10.91]CHORUS Lie-la-lie.....
[02:24.93]Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[02:29.31]And wishing I was gone
[02:31.20]Going home
[02:34.31]Where the New York City winters
[02:36.06]Aren't bleeding me,
[02:40.35]Leading me,
[02:44.18]Going home.
[02:50.52]In the clearing stands a boxer,
[02:55.42]And a fighter by his trade
[02:58.17]And he carries the reminders
[03:00.71]Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:03.77]Or cut him till he cried out
[03:05.91]In his anger and his shame,
[03:08.44]"I am leaving, I am leaving."
[03:11.11]But the fighter still remains
