YMCA的招牌搞什麼鬼

某天

因為在路上看到YMCA的招牌

然不成是補習班

他不有一首歌嗎

........................

 

 

================分隔線=================

 

大家知道(聽過)有首歌曲教YMCA吧

說起來還蠻好笑的

當時歌曲中輕快的節奏 加上外國佬唱的

說到美國就想到職棒 美國很迷棒球

歌詞中YOUNG MAN!稱呼的好像再叫菜鳥或晚輩一樣

一度我還以為是跟職棒有關 青少年的職棒

而歌詞中YMCA是一種態度

後來才知道原來是一個組織阿

不過要說是一種態度的話也說得過去~

新人類對YMCA的翻譯是：You must craze again（你一定又發瘋了！）

 

原意為:

Y.M.C.A. Young Men's Christian Association  

意思是基督教青年會簡稱YMCA

1844年，由喬治威廉等12名青年，在倫敦創立的YMCA迅遠地傳播到世界各地，並且成立許多YMCA組織。1855年8月22日八國38個YMCA組織中的99位青年代表們，齊聚巴黎，他們因對耶穌基督共通的忠誠而彼此締結；並一致認同為了對所有青年有所貢獻，必須要集合大家的力量一起為理想而努力。於是，他們將存在他們心中的認知記錄下來，制定成一個基準。這便是今日眾所週知的「巴黎本旨」。巴黎本旨在一百年後的世界YMCA協會成立百年紀念大會上再度被重申，非僅如此，它更被視為重整基督教運動的一項重要文獻。巴黎本旨：「基督教青年會之旨趣，在聯合同道青年，即凡願按照聖經奉耶穌基督為上帝與救主，心信躬行為其門徒，更願協力推展天國於青年之間者。」

歌曲也是由此組織而來

 

另外有個YWCA

是基督教女青年協會 意義就是Young Women's Christian Association
但是實際上並沒有分男女也不限一定要基督教

關於YMCA團體

基督教性質的國際性社會服務團體。即以基督「為世人服務」的精神，根據社會人群（尤其是弱勢群體）的需要，從事各種各樣的社會服務工作。這些服務工作，是以「促進大眾德、智、體、群全人成長」的理念作導向，服務人群不分性別、年齡、國籍、種族和宗教信仰。服務工作有平民教育、體育康樂、營地服務、社區服務、青少年工作、難民工作、就業服務等等，一些青年會還開設有價格低廉的旅舍和賓館。「基督教青年會」不是一個傳教組織，也不是一個慈善機構。它主要以傳遞愛心為使命，倡導和推動承擔社會責任及促進社會和諧。

基督教青年會世界聯盟總部設在瑞士日內瓦。基督教青年會還設有世界各地區聯盟：基督教青年會亞洲區、歐洲區、非洲區、拉丁美洲區聯盟。基督教青年會有各個國家和（地區）的全國協會和城市青年會，其中包括中國大陸、台灣、香港和澳門等華人地區。

它台灣有官網有興趣可以去找找看

 

日本都喜歡翻譯成自己的語言 最早由西城秀樹翻唱

喜歡小丸子的應該知道他 片尾歌曲就是他唱的

後來庾澄慶翻唱歌詞雖然修改變 但不變的是表演時都搭配一種看不太懂的手勢

只要唱到這首歌大家都很High

歌詞:

這是七零年代著名的同志 Disco 團體 Village People (鄉巴佬合唱團) 的暢銷曲

 

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

 

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

 

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what about you feel ...

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what about you feel ...

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
