Blood on the Risers

《Blood on the Risers》是《兄弟连》电视剧中出现的一首歌曲。原曲是一首基督教赞歌,歌曲讲述了菜鸟伞兵跳伞失败摔死的故事。

基本介绍

Blood on the Risers(伞绳上的鲜血),曾出现于著名电视剧《兄弟连》中。原曲是一首基督教赞歌,用这个曲调的歌最有名的是南北战争北方的军歌:《Battle hymn of the republic》,也据说是林肯生平最喜欢的歌曲。曼联队歌《GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED》也是这个曲调。该曲当时曾在欧洲地区的盟军伞兵中广为传唱。

这首歌听起来很像是一首军乐,但其实是讲了个菜鸟伞兵跳伞失败啪叽摔死的故事。

细节考证

“He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock

他长长地数着,他大声地数着,等待那冲击的瞬间”

其中“冲击”是指开伞的冲击或落地时的冲击

“The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome

那些伞绳缠住他的脖子,释放器撕碎了伞顶”

“There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute

那些伞绳溅满鲜血,伞盖上面沾着脑浆”

“The risers”(那些叛徒)指的就是伞绳。而释放器(connector,直译连接器)是在机舱舱门附近的一个装置,连接跳伞者的伞包,跳伞者跳出机舱便会带动释放降落伞,是一种较为方便安全的开伞方法。
