007電影主題曲大排名 你喜歡哪一首?(上)
James Bond is one of the few constants that movie lovers have in this crazy world of ours. We seem to know that, no matter what, a new Bond movie is always on the way.
在這個風雲變幻的世界，詹姆斯·邦德俘獲了不少鐵桿粉絲，是至今爲數不多的仍在續拍的電影之一。在人們的意識裏，無論發生什麼事情，新的007電影依然會拍下去。The history of James Bond theme songs isn't quite as long as some might suspect, however. The first two films in the series – Dr. No and From Russia With Love – didn't have opening songs, they had orchestral arrangements. Dr. No even segued into a weird rendition of "Three Blind Mice." Later on, On Her Majesty's Secret Service gave the opening number amiss and snuck its theme song into the middle and end of the movie.
然而，007系列電影主題曲卻並沒有人們想象的那麼歷史悠久。第一部《諾博士》和第二部《俄羅斯之戀》沒有開場曲，而是安排了管絃樂。《諾博士》甚至插入了《三隻瞎老鼠》的怪異演奏。隨後，《女王密使》纔開始有了開場曲，並且在影片的中間和結尾插入了主題曲。These are the official James Bond theme songs, ranked from worst to best, with two honorable mentions because they may or may not count, but were just that good, dang it.
以下將007系列電影官方主題曲按受歡迎程度由低到高進行排序。其中還榮譽推薦了兩首有可能不屬於官方歌曲的曲子。它們一樣很好聽。
James Bond Themes Honorable Mention: "We Have All The Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong
007系列電影榮譽主題曲之一：路易斯·阿姆斯特朗--《我們擁有世界上的所有時間》On Her Majesty's Secret Service gets an honorable mention on our list of James Bond Theme songs.
在007電影主題曲榜單上，《女王密使》的主題曲獲得榮譽推薦。One of the best James Bond theme songs wasn't actually played over the opening credits, so we're giving it our first honorable mention. This enormously romantic song from On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the few James Bond themes that helps tell the story of the film, in which our hero finally meets the love of his life. (Alas, it was short-lived.) Satchmo warbles his trademark warble, our hearts melt, and a classic is born.
這是007系列電影最佳主題曲之一，但實際上並沒有在片頭演奏，所以我們把它放在榮譽推薦的第一位。這首浪漫的曲子呼應了電影情節的發展，最終詹姆斯·邦德遇到了真愛。（可惜他們的戀情維持不久便結束了。）路易斯·阿姆斯特朗運用了他標誌性的顫音，聽者心絃顫動，一個經典誕生了。James Bond Themes Honorable Mention: "Surrender" by K.D. Lang
007系列電影榮譽主題曲之二：凱蒂·朗--《屈服》Tomorrow Never Dies gets the other honorable mention on our James Bond theme song list.
本榜單另一個榮譽推薦的是《明日帝國》的主題曲。Originally intended for the opening credits of Tomorrow Never Dies, and then for some reason relegated to the closing credits, K.D. Lang's "Surrender" is silken and cool. The horn sections are sassy and powerful. It's one of the best James Bond theme songs, and it's not even officially a James Bond theme song. And it's a heck of a lot better than the official theme the movie finally got.
《屈服》原本打算用作片頭曲，後來出於種種考慮作爲片尾曲。這首歌曲總體來說溫柔清新，但是管樂部分卻大氣磅礴。這是007系列電影主題曲中最出色的曲子之一，但並不是官方主題曲。它甚至比《明日帝國》最終選定的官方主題曲好聽得多。James Bond Themes 10. "Diamonds Are Forever" by Shirley Bassey
007系列電影主題曲第十名：雪莉·巴賽--《永遠的鑽石》The second-best song that Shirley Bassey performed for the James Bond franchise is still one of the best. For a series that, on some level, has always been about wish fulfillment, listening to one of the great singers belt powerful notes about avarice seems just about right. So say what you will about the film (it's not on many of the lists of James Bond's best), but Bassey had good material here and she knocked it out of the park.
雪莉·巴賽爲007系列電影演唱了兩首名曲，這是其中之一。從某種程度上來說，007系列電影一直講述的是心願達成的故事。觀衆在享受劇情的同時，耳旁聽着最棒的歌手用強有力的聲音唱着關於貪慾的歌詞，真是恰到好處。所以無論你對這部電影抱有何種看法（儘管這不是007系列最佳電影之一），巴賽擁有上好的素材，創作了讓人眼前一亮的歌曲。James Bond Themes 9. "The Man with the Golden Gun" by Lulu
007系列電影主題曲第九名：露露--《金槍人》Not a lot of Bond villains get their own theme song, but Christopher Lee's assassin from The Man with the Golden Gun gets a flashy, catchy, groovy tune that makes him seem cool as hell. (And of course, he is.) Lulu completely sells the awesomeness of the villain Scaramanga, and although the song may seem almost ridiculously upbeat today, it only adds to the charm.
007電影中，反派人物往往沒有自己的主題曲，但是《金槍人》中克里斯多弗·李扮演的暗殺者出場時有一段輕快動人的絕妙曲調，襯托出暗殺者如地獄使者般帥氣冷酷。LuLu的演唱完全演繹出這個反派斯卡拉孟加的過人之處。即使這首歌在今天來說歡快得有點可笑，但這也增添了它的魅力。James Bond Themes 8. "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra
007系列電影主題曲第八名：南希·辛納查--《你只能活兩次》Another love ballad for Bond, but if Nancy Sinatra's song from You Only Live Twice was playing at your orthodontist's office, it would be the sexiest orthodontist's office in town. There's a mysterious quality to the string section, and a playfulness to the declining notes. They combine to make something rather magical. From here on out all of the Bond songs on this list are bona fide classics.
這是007系列電影的另一首愛情歌曲。如果《雷霆谷》的這首主題曲在你的牙齒矯正醫生辦公室播放，那麼這將是鎮上最帥最性感的牙齒矯正醫生的辦公室。絃樂部分充滿神祕感，降調充滿趣味。這兩者結合締造了神奇。榜單從這開始往後所有的007電影主題曲都是真正的經典。James Bond Themes 7. "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon
007系列電影主題曲第七名：卡莉·西蒙--《沒人做得更好》Some would argue that Carly Simon's theme to The Spy Who Loved Me is the best James Bond theme song ever. They may have a point, but maybe what's really going on is that this is just "the best song from a James Bond movie." It's a fun tune, catchy as hell, romantic and beautifully sung. But nothing about this seems to specifically evoke James Bond, his adventures, his history or even his films. "Nobody Does It Better" is still a winner by any estimation; there's just happens to be a reason why it didn't crack our top five.
有人會認爲卡莉·西蒙演唱的《海底城》的主題曲最好聽。他們可能有自己的理由，可能是因爲這是"邦德電影中最好聽的歌曲"。曲調歡快、充滿吸引力、浪漫抒情，卡莉西蒙的演唱打動人心。但是這些對詹姆斯·邦德、他的冒險旅程、他的來歷甚至他的電影沒有任何特殊引導作用。儘管《沒人做得更好》被認爲是一首好歌，但是由於上述原因它並沒能進入榜單前五名。James Bond Themes 6. "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran
007系列電影主題曲第六名：杜蘭·杜蘭--《雷霆殺機》A lot of the best James Bond theme songs sound like they belong in a lounge act. That's not a complaint, just an observation. For whatever reason, the English new wave act Duran Duran was given free reign to provide A View to a Kill with a new and exciting sound all its own. "A View to a Kill" was a hit song, and it probably would have been a success even without the James Bond connection. It's entertaining and cool and energetic, and it promises one hell of a good time. (Whether or not the movie actually lives up to that promise is a matter of some debate.)
許多邦德電影主題曲聽起來像酒吧表演歌曲。這不是抱怨，僅僅只是觀察。無論出於何種原因，英國熱門樂團杜蘭杜蘭發揮自身才能，爲電影《雷霆殺機》創作了這首歌。曲調新穎，振奮人心。《雷霆殺機》是一首即使不依靠邦德電影也能成功的主打歌曲。歌曲輕鬆愉悅、活力四射，暗含一段令人沉醉的美好時光。（至於電影是否恰如歌曲講述的那樣尚有爭議。）
