嘲鸫:反舌鸟、模仿鸟、仿聲鸟(学名:Mimus polyglottos):嘲鸫是雀形目嘲鸫科的几种善模仿的鸣禽的统称。
嘲鸫的英文名除了mockingbird外,还有另一个名字“mimic-thrush”(意为善模仿的鸫)。这群富有特色的新大陆鸟生活在北美、南美和中美洲的大部分地区(除加拿大北部),其中南美小嘲鸫出现在南美南端。它们大多数和鸫一般大小,并且被认为与鸫和鹪鹩具有密切的亲缘关系。

小嘲鸫分布限于美洲,有34种,小嘲鸫 Mimus polyglottos 是北美洲受欢迎的鸣禽,是美国5个州的州鸟。极擅长鸣叫和模仿,英文名即模仿鸟之意。嘲鸫、嘲鸟、仿声鸟、猫声鸟。一种嘲鸫科的新大陆鸟,尤指嘲鸫,一种美国南部和东部的灰、白色鸟,以其能模仿其它鸟的声音的能力而著称。世界上总共有16种名为“嘲鸫”的鸟类,但小嘲鸫是唯一一种原产于美国的鸟类。栖息地比较接近的其他物种包括罕见的墨西哥蓝嘲鸫(Melanotis caerulescens)和居住在海岛上的巴哈马小嘲鸫(Mimus gundlachii),这两种鸟偶尔也会出现在美国大陆。小嘲鸫是横跨美洲大陆的留鸟,它的栖息地向东北部的成功扩张,部分原因是野蔷薇或藤蔓蔷薇的引进。蔷薇原产于亚洲,这些入侵性植物在1700年代末作为观赏玫瑰被引入美国。它们因为有美味的浆果和浓密的缠枝,成为嘲鸫的理想巢址。
小嘲鸫的拉丁名是Mimus polyglottos,字面意思是“多语言模仿者”。polyglot指能说多种语言的人,在这里是形容该鸟模仿周围环境声音的能力。虽然人们知道小嘲鸫会唱几百首不同的歌曲,但一些研究表明,它们可能不会像人们以前认为的那样,在成年后仍然可以学习并模仿新的声音。
2019年10月发布的一项研究发现,除了模仿其他鸟类的叫声以及音乐和机械等人造声音外,已知小嘲鸫至少能模仿12种不同种类的北美青蛙和蟾蜍。事实上,约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦非常敬畏这种鸟的歌唱能力,他在《美洲鸟类》中提到了小嘲鸫,“世界上可能没有一种鸟拥有这一歌中之王的所有音乐才能,它从大自然中获取了一切。”
正是由于小嘲鸫令人印象深刻的发声天赋,19世纪的非法宠物贸易和在东海岸偷猎野生鸟类行为耗尽了它们的种群数量。1828年,一只唱功最好的鸟身价高达50美元,以今天的价格计算,超过1300美元。
小嘲鸫很容易适应人类的发展,它们可以在城镇郊区和城市中栖息。开阔的草坪和公园是捕食昆虫的理想场所,雄性经常会在屋顶和电线杆等栖息处唱歌,它们还会不时进行飞行表演:陡然跳到空中,然后飞转回来。7. 嘲鸫是多产的繁殖者。它们在繁殖季节可以尝试筑巢多达7次,有一只雌鸟甚至创造了一个惊人的记录,在一个繁殖季节内产卵27枚。
小嘲鸫翅膀和尾羽外缘上的白色斑点有两个用途:在交配仪式上,它们经常会炫耀这些羽毛,在保护自己的领地免受鹰隼和蛇等潜在捕食者的攻击时,它们也会闪烁其羽毛。
嘲鸫具有强烈的领地意识。它们可以俯冲攻击任何靠近巢穴的东西,包括人。它们的巢通常离地0.9~3米。冬季时,它们会经常把其他鸟类从它们喜欢的食物来源赶走,比如结有果实的果树。
小嘲鸫是阿肯色州、佛罗里达州、密西西比州、田纳西州和德克萨斯州的州鸟。在德克萨斯州,1927年立法宣布小嘲鸫为该州的官方鸟类,赞誉该鸟是“保护其家园的斗士,如有必要,会像任何真正的德克萨斯人一样,为保卫家园而牺牲”。
反舌鸟 (曲)”mocking”是“嘲笑的、愚弄的”意思标题意味着 生活的捉弄、人生的无奈。整首歌的内容是Eminem向女儿倾诉,回忆着成名前穷困不堪的生活、回忆着与前妻感情破裂的经过。
表达了对女儿深深的愧疚以及渴望弥补的心情。
字里行间能够感受到Eminem作为一个父亲对女儿那份深厚的爱。
听Eminem诉说着自己曾经在那一年的圣诞节因为买不起礼物而深深自责乃至整夜流泪。
听他诉说着由于工作的原因,自己只能看着女儿和侄女的照片想象着她们的样子和声音
Mockingbird - Eminem
Yeah I know sometimes
Things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey what'd Daddy always tell you
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you cryin' about you got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
But I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad even when you smile even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes deep inside you wanna cry
Cause you're scared I ain't there
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying wipe them tears
Daddy's here no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it we gon' do it
Lainie Uncle's crazy ain't he
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins when it swirls when it whirls when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Looking puzzled in a daze I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move
Momma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up as Daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see
But you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over
And that's what destiny is
But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream
Hook
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know Mommy's not here right now
And we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
But I promise Momma's gon' be alright
Heh it's funny
I remember back one year when Daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree
And said some of 'em were from me
Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night cryin'
Cause Daddy felt like a bum see Daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and Mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars
'Til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
Mom and Dad was arguing a lot
So Momma moved back on to Chalmers
In the flat one bedroom apartment
And Dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when Daddy went to California with his CD
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Momma out to see me
But Daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing Daddy on the TV
And Momma didn't like it
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
Papa was a rolling stone Momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
Just reminiscing looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
Lainie I'm talking to you too daddy's still here
I like the sound of that yeah it's got a ring to it don't it
Sssshhh Momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know Mommy's not here right now
And we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
But I promise Momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me to Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdie's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't f**k with Dad ha ha

台湾在美国撑腰下折腾,对两岸都没好处,多半便宜了外人。马英九时代两岸外交休兵,大家都省心,邦交国不会减少,甚至还成了国际组织观察员。蔡英文追随美国,结果却把台独所谓的国际空间越做越小,现在只剩下14个弱小邦交国。台湾通往国际的阳关大道需先通过北京,而不是指望华府。但这些道理对因意识形态固化而变得弱智的蔡政府来说,不过是对牛弹琴!为台湾正名,立陶宛做了替死鬼,台湾做了冤大头。立陶宛与台湾现在都下不了台,只能硬撑着。
