我印象裏Scarborough Fair是壹首古老的蘇格蘭民歌，是電影《斯卡波羅集市》的主題曲。我第壹次聽到它是在美國電影《畢業生》裏，這首曲子的旋律曾在那裏出現過。第二次聽到它時卻是在離我住的小鎮不遠的集市上，這個集市就叫做“Scarborough Fair”。
熙熙攘攘的集市上有各種各樣家庭制作的工藝品出售，傳統的工匠們展示著他們的手藝。我看到了木匠、石匠、鐵匠，還第壹次見到了玻璃匠，從頭到尾見識了玻璃花瓶的吹制過程。比較熱鬧的地方是賽馬場，剽悍的西部牛仔們躍躍欲試、壹較高低，精彩之處四周的口哨聲和姑娘們的尖叫聲此起彼伏。
趕集的人穿著不知是哪裏、不知是哪個年代的傳統服裝，在集市上載歌載舞，到處可以聽到這首歌的旋律，有些如夢如幻的感覺……
問爾所之，是否如適
蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
彼方淑女，憑君寄辭
伊人曾在，與我相知
囑彼佳人，備我衣緇
蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
勿用針砧，無隙無疵
伊人何在，慰我相思
（伴唱）
彼山之陰，深林荒址
冬尋氈毯，老雀燕子
雪覆四野，高山遲滯
眠而不覺，寒笳清嘶
囑彼佳人，營我家室
蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
良田所修，大海之坻
伊人應在，任我相視
（伴唱）
彼山之陰，葉疏苔蝕
滌我孤冢，珠淚漸漬
惜我長劍，日日拂拭
寂而不覺，寒笳長嘶
囑彼佳人，收我秋實
蕙蘭芫荽，郁郁香芷
斂之集之，勿棄勿失
伊人猶在，唯我相誓
（伴唱）
烽火印嘯，浴血之師
將帥有令，勤王之事
爭鬥緣何，久忘其旨
癡而不覺，寒笳悲嘶
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
Without no seams nor needle work.
Then she will be a true love of mine.
（伴唱）
On the side of hill in the deep forest green,
Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown.
Blankets and bed clothiers the child of maintain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to find me an acre of land.
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she will be a true love of mine.
（伴唱）
On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves
Washes the grave with slivery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather.
Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
And gather it all in a bunch of heather.
Then she will be a true love of mine.
（伴唱）
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight for a cause.
They have long ago forgotten.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
