[English]

[中文]

I been known to miss a red flag

我早就知道会错过危险信号

I been known to put my lover on a pedestal

我早就习惯把爱人捧得高高的

In the end, those things just don't last

但最终，那些都无法长久

And it's time I take my rose-colored glasses off

是时候摘下我的玫瑰色眼镜了

I already know your type, tellin' me the things I like

我早就知道你这种类型，总说些我爱听的

Tryin' make me yours for life, takin' me for a ride

想让我一辈子属于你，把我耍得团团转

I already know your type, think you can play your cards right

我早就知道你这种类型，以为你能出好牌

Don't you know I could do this dance all night?

难道你不知道我可以彻夜跳这支舞吗？

Ooh, what you doin'?

哦，你在做什么？

Don't know who you think that you're confusin'

不知道你觉得你在迷惑谁

I be like, "Ooh, it's amusin'"

我只会觉得，哦，真有趣

You think I'm gonna fall for an illusion

你以为我会沉迷于幻觉吗？

Dance all night

彻夜跳舞

Dance all night

Dance all night

彻夜跳舞

Dance all night (I be like)

彻夜跳舞（我只会觉得）

Dance, dance

Was a time when that shit might have worked

曾经那招或许管用

Was a time when I just threw a match and let it burn

曾经我会直接点燃导火索，任其燃烧

Now I'm grown, I know what I deserve

现在我长大了，我知道我应得什么

I still like dancin' with the lessons I already learned

我仍然喜欢伴着我已经学到的教训起舞

I already know your type, tellin' me the things I like

我早就知道你这种类型，总说些我爱听的

Tryin' make me yours for life, takin' me for a ride

想让我一辈子属于你，把我耍得团团转

I already know your type, think you can play your cards right

Grammar:

• I been known to miss a red flag

  ➔ 现在完成时的被动语态，搭配 "be known to"

  ➔ 这个结构表达了关于主语的一个普遍真理或广为人知的事实。"I "have been known" to" miss red flags" 意味着说话者有忽略警告信号的特征或倾向。

• I been known to put my lover on a pedestal

  ➔ "be known to" 之后的目的不定式

  ➔ 不定式 "to put" 解释了说话者被知道的*目的*。 不仅仅是她被知道； 她被知道是因为*为了*把她的爱人放在神坛上。

• Tryin' make me yours for life, takin' me for a ride

  ➔ 简化关系从句（分词从句）

  ➔ "Tryin' make me yours..." 和 "Takin' me for a ride" 是简化的关系从句。完整的从句是 "(He is) trying to make me yours..." 和 "(He is) taking me for a ride"。 为了简洁和非正式，助动词和关系代词被省略。它表达了同时发生的动作。

• Don't you know I could do this dance all night?

  ➔ 情态动词 "could" 表示能力/潜力

  ➔ "Could" 表示说话者有能力或潜力跳一整夜的舞。它暗示她有这样做的耐力和技巧。

• Don't know who you think that you're confusin'

  ➔ 省略疑问词和关系代词的嵌入式疑问句

  ➔ 这是一个嵌入式问题，充当 "Don't know" 的宾语。"Who you think that you're confusing" 等同于 "Who you think you are confusing"。 "that" 也是可选的，进一步简化了结构，使其更加口语化。正式的结构可能是："I don't know who you think you are confusing."

• Was a time when that shit might have worked

  ➔ 过去的可能性情态动词（might have + 过去分词）

  ➔ "Might have worked" 表达了一种可能性，即过去某事 *可能已经* 发生，但没有发生或不再真实。这表明所描述的策略过去可能有效，但现在无效。

• Now I'm grown, I know what I deserve

  ➔ 名词性从句作宾语 ("what I deserve")

  ➔ 从句 "what I deserve" 用作动词 "know" 的宾语。 这是一个由关系代词 "what" 引导的名词性从句，指说话者应得的未明确的事物。
