Question

有没有好心人帮忙可以翻译一下这个呀~!!

"Good Night Irene," is an example of a traditional folk song. That means the song is so old, no one really knows who wrote it.
Huddie Ledbetter, the singer and guitarist known as Ledbelly, first recorded "Good Night Irene" in nineteen thirty-two. Since then more than a hundred other versions have been recorded. "Good Night Irene," was a huge hit for the Weavers in nineteen fifty.
Folk music researcher Bob Carlin notes the historic importance of protest songs. They help give voice to cultural and social movements, he says.
One of the members of the Weavers was Pete Seeger. He was among those who popularized folk music in the nineteen forties. Later, he wrote some of the best known songs of the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests of the sixties.
Pete Seeger could be called the King of the Protest Song, in the words of folk musician Tony Trischka. Yet his greatest influence may have come from popularizing a song that he himself did not write. "We Shall Overcome" came from a Negro spiritual.

As Tony Trischka points out, the original version was called "We Will Overcome." Pete Seeger thought "shall" sounded better. And he made other changes, like adding the verse "we are not afraid" to offer support for the protests taking place across the country.
"We Shall Overcome," became the theme song of the American civil rights movement.
Folk songs sometimes tell stories about real events. An example is the story of a young man whose last name was spelled D-U-L-A but pronounced "Dooley."
Tom Dula was a Civil War veteran in North Carolina. He was tried and found guilty of the murder of his girlfriend Laura Foster. He was hanged in eighteen sixty-eight, yet the case left many questions.
The story was retold in poems and songs -- including the hit song, "Tom Dooley," recorded in nineteen fifty-eight by the Kingston Trio.
Folk singer and songwriter Amy Speace says the history of American folk music can be imagined as a tree with many branches. At the center, she says, is Woody Guthrie.
Woody Guthrie wrote almost three thousand songs. But he only recorded about three hundred of them. His granddaughter Anna Canoni says that was partly because he did not have enough money to record more. He made only one record with a major record company.
Yet for all his influence, millions of Americans today remember him for just one song, which children learn in school.
The song, "This Land Is Your Land," seems like the perfect expression of pride in country. What many people do not know is that it was meant sarcastically, as just the opposite. Woody Guthrie wrote it in nineteen forty in reaction to Irving Berlin's popular song, "God Bless America."谢谢阿!!!

“晚上好，艾琳”是一种典型的传统民歌。这说明着这首歌很老了,没有人知道究竟是谁写的。
Huddie Ledbetter,这位歌手和吉他手,被称为Ledbelly，第一个于1932年记录下“晚上好艾琳”。自那以后一百多个版本都被记录下来。“晚上好，艾琳”对1950年的纺织工来说是一个巨大的冲击。
研究民间音乐的鲍勃卡林注意到斗争歌曲的历史重要性。他说：“他们赋予文化及社会运动声音。”
皮特•西格是织布工中的一个。他处在那些普及民间音乐的年代。之后,他写了一些关于民事权利和反越战抗议活动年代的人的比较有名歌曲。
“皮特•西格可以被称作斗争歌曲之王。”民间音乐家托尼•Trischka说，“但他最大的影响可能来自一首歌，一首他本人没有写的。《我们一定会胜利》，来自一个黑人圣歌。
1996年，皮特•西格在纽约哈德逊河的河岸上
托尼·Trischka指出，原版被称为“我们将会克服。”皮特•西格认为“必须”听起来更好。他做了其它的修改,如增加诗歌“我们不怕”提供支持全国各地的抗议发生。
“我们要克服”,这首歌成为美国民权运动的主题曲。
有时民歌讲述真实的事件。一个例子是一个年轻人的故事的最后一名D-U-L-A拼写,但读作“·杜利。
汤姆•杜拉是美国内战老兵在北卡罗莱那州。他因谋杀他的女友劳拉·福斯特而受到审判并被判有罪。在1868年，他被绞死,但这个案子留下了诸多问题。
这个故事被改写成诗歌和歌曲——包括那些动听的歌，“汤姆·杜利”被记录在1958年的金斯顿三重唱里。
民谣歌手和词曲作者艾米•斯皮斯说：“美国民间音乐的历史可以想象成一个树和许多分支。在中心是伍迪葛士瑞。
伍迪葛士瑞写了近三千首歌曲。但是他只记录数目约有三百。他的孙女安娜Canoni说,部分是因为他没有足够的钱来记录。他只有一个记录与大型唱片公司。
然而,尽管他的影响下,数百万的美国人今天一首歌就记得,这是孩子们所能在学校里学到的。
这首歌，“这片土地是你的地上”看来像是个完美的表现骄傲的国家。很多人所不知道的是它本来是讽刺的是作为正好相反。伍迪葛士瑞写于1940年在柏林的流行歌曲“上帝保佑美国”。
