Like a Rolling Stone 伟大在哪里？

它以小见大：他在歌里明说别人，暗写自己，搅动众人心。

歌里的mystery tramp, 有人解成了"毒贩"和妓女”。我解作“跋涉”，拟作流浪汉的“跋涉”。

Tramp作“跋涉”: a long walk, typically a tiring one. 【New Oxford American Dictionary】
Tramp作“流浪汉“: a person who travels from place to place on foot in search of work or as a vagrant or beggar.

Bob Dylan经常押韵、拟人，比如Simple Twist of Fate, 以in为韵，把”敏感这种罪“拟作“他双胞胎姐妹”。

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin

再看mystery Tramp所在段落：

You say you never compromise
你说你从不妥协
With the mystery tramp but now you realise
对那未知的跋涉，而今你了解
He's not selling any alibis
“他”每一处开裂，

跋涉这流浪汉，不出卖 “不在场证明”——也就是，凡涉过必留下痕迹，或深或浅；必影响心灵，或多或少。

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
你望进他眼里空空如也
And say 说，
"Do you want to make a deal?"
”想不想扭转乾坤？“

关于这个deal（交易），老年Bob Dylan回忆：

I'm holding up my hands.

摇滚以鲜明的节奏、文字，摇动刻板印象，滚开恶习。歌里，Bob Dylan也滚他的恶习。

我尽量还原歌力，翻译如下：

• “神魂”是“精神状态”。

• 请您读出声：

《Like a Rolling Stone 是滚动石头》

1965年，伦敦巡演结束后，Bob Dylan一度想退出乐坛。但他和跋涉做了交易，跋涉教他挖掘；他挖老黄历，挖了几十页纸。他帮跋涉这流浪汉戒毒（物质的和精神的），扭转了乾坤，一路走到今日。

Bob Dylan反感媒体的曲解，选择自我挖掘【1】。他挖出了Like a Rolling Stone，挖动了各种心灵，挖开了一本Rolling Stone杂志。

【1】1966年，他的Playboy采访: “Last spring, I guess I was going to quit singing. I was very drained, and the way things were going, it was a very draggy situation … But ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ changed it all. I mean it was something that I myself could dig. It’s very tiring having other people tell you how much they dig you if you yourself don’t dig you."

我愿与“跋涉”做交易，留下努力痕迹，挖掘真实经历，做出独立分析。
