《沉默是金》是已故香港艺人张国荣创作的一首歌。有人说即使张国荣一生只作出了这一首歌,也值得骄傲。的确,这是几年来,这首歌已经成为了一个品牌,始终屹立不倒。这样一曲颇具古风古韵的旋律,许冠杰填词的灵感却是来自英国卡莱尔的名句:“Speech is silver,silence is golden”(雄辩是银,沉默是金)。这首歌让无数人为之共鸣喜爱,但并不是张国荣最完美的一首,而真正要甄别他的哪些艺术作品堪称之最,那无疑是徒劳的,因为 “Silence is Gold” is a song by the late Hong Kong artist Leslie Cheung. Some people say that even if Leslie made the song only for his whole life, he is also proud. Indeed, this is a few years, this song has become a brand, always survive. Such a song quite rhyme ancient style melody, Xu Guanjie lyrics is inspired by the famous Carlisle of Britain: “Speech is silver, silence is golden ” (eloquent is silver, silence is golden). This song resonates with innumerable people, but it is not the most perfect one by Leslie Cheung. It is undoubtedly futile to really identify which of his works of art are the best.
