初中的时候，在疯狂英语上面看过这首词，当时不觉得有什么感觉。
现在重读，感慨万千~~~

慢慢地阅读，当年温软的眼神和回忆

很少人再去爱另外一个人朝圣者的灵魂
也很少人会在老的时候能够取下一部诗集回忆当年的过往~
who misses who?

这首古诗，相信知道的人很少，当时听过的人肯定不少。

魂断蓝桥里面的主题曲就是这个古诗，《友谊天长地久》，而去年夏天热播的《欲望城市》里面，圣诞节的时候，CARRIE穿着睡衣穿过一个城市去看MARADA的时候，放的也是这首古诗，《友谊天长地久》，每一年的新年舞会，如果你有机会参加西方的GALA的话，零点钟声敲响以后，一定会响起这首名曲-------  Should auld acquanintance be forgot，  And never brought to mind? 那些相识已久的老友们就应该在时光里面逝去，再也不被提起么？~~

9 T+ S4 Z( V# X0 M) Y2 d9 W这首古诗是1788年在苏格兰写成的，因为他的格式简单，语言简练，很有古诗十九首的风格。但是由于现在的英语风格发生了重大的变化，这首诗不容易被读懂，因此导致了其在中国的流行程度大大打折了。但是，这首诗在西方古典文学上面的成就不亚于我们常记得那个句“劝君更进一杯酒，西出阳关无故人”。

当然，我最爱的还是SEX AND THE CITY 里面，当40岁的CARRIE，在婚礼上面被BIG抛弃的CARRIE,一个人过年的CARRIE, 在这嘶哑的苏格兰女声里面，穿着睡衣，坐着地铁，穿过曼哈顿，去看另外一个孤独地，分居的女友，MARIADA，她拥抱她的那一刻，那一句，U R NOT ALONE,重新演绎了这首古诗在我心里的感觉。
( x# Q" y  g6 c: M
, b" \- }9 w! |+ i5 l+ }; U7 \0 e1 M还是用CARRIE的那句话结束这首诗吧
They say, nothing last forever. Dreams change,trains come and go, but friendships, never go out of style.
