[English]

[中文]

I'm in the business of misery

我靠制造痛苦为生

Let's take it from the top

让我们从头开始

She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock

她有沙漏般的身材，像时钟一样滴答作响

It's a matter of time before we all run out

我们耗尽时间只是时间问题

When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

当我以为他属于我时，她用嘴俘获了他

I waited eight long months, she finally set him free

我等了漫长的八个月，她终于放他自由

I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me

我告诉他我不能撒谎，他是我唯一的选择

Two weeks and we had caught on fire

两周后，我们燃起了爱火

She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

她想除掉我，但我脸上挂着最灿烂的笑容

Whoa, I never meant to brag

哇哦，我从没想过要炫耀

But I got him where I want him now

但我现在让他完全听我的

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

哇哦，我从来没有想要炫耀

To steal it all away from you now

现在把你的一切都夺走

But God, does it feel so good

但老天，这感觉太好了

'Cause I got him where I want him now

因为我让他完全听我的

And if you could, then you know you would

如果可以，你知道你也会这么做

'Cause God it just feels so

因为老天，这感觉真是

It just feels so good

感觉真是太好了

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change

第二次机会毫无意义，人们永远不会改变

Once a whore, you're nothing more

一旦当了妓女，你就永远是妓女

I'm sorry, that'll never change

对不起，这永远不会改变

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged

关于原谅，我们本应该互相交换

I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way

对不起，亲爱的，我放弃了，现在看着这边

Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you

像你这样的女孩还有几百万个

Looking as innocent as possible to get to who

装作尽可能无辜的样子来得到她们想要的人

They want and what they want, it's easy if you do it right

以及她们想要的东西，如果你做得对，这很容易

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

我拒绝，我拒绝，我拒绝

Whoa, I never meant to brag

哇哦，我从没想过要炫耀

But I got him where I want him now

但我现在让他完全听我的

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

哇哦，我从来没有想要炫耀

To steal it all away from you now

现在把你的一切都夺走

But God, does it feel so good

但老天，这感觉太好了

'Cause I got him where I want him right now

因为我让他现在完全听我的

And if you could, then you know you would

如果可以，你知道你也会这么做

'Cause God, it just feels so

因为老天，这感觉真是

It just feels so good

感觉真是太好了

I watched his wildest dreams come true

我看着他最疯狂的梦想成真

Not one of them involving you

没有一个与你有关

Just watch my wildest dreams come true

等着看我最疯狂的梦想成真

Not one of them involving

Grammar:

• I'm in the business of misery

  ➔ 介词短语 'in the business of'

  ➔ 这个短语的意思是某人参与或从事特定的活动或工作领域，通常带有它是主要重点或关注点的含义。 在这里，它是一个隐喻的事务。

• She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock

  ➔ 明喻（使用“like”）将身体比作沙漏，将时间的流逝比作滴答作响的钟表。

  ➔ “like”的使用创建了直接的比较。 沙漏突出了传统上理想的女性形象，而滴答作响的钟表则表明了对时间和衰老的感知压力。

• When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

  ➔ 过去简单时态（“thought”、“caught”）用于描述过去的事件。

  ➔ 这句话使用一般过去时来叙述过去发生的事情。“Caught him by the mouth”是诱惑的隐喻。

• Two weeks and we had caught on fire

  ➔ 过去完成时（“had caught”）表示在过去的另一个时间点（可能是暗示的）之前完成的动作。

  ➔ 这意味着两周后，他们的关系迅速而强烈地发展起来。“Caught on fire”是激情和强烈的隐喻。

• It was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now

  ➔ 目的不定式（“to brag”、“to steal”）解释了做某事的原因（或者，在这种情况下，*不是*原因）。

  ➔ 不定式形式用于描述意图是什么。 它突出了说话人看似的无辜，同时又在吹嘘。

• Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change

  ➔ 绝对短语或主格绝对（“Second chances they”）。 此短语独立于该句子，提供其他信息或上下文。

  ➔ 该短语在语法上是独立的，并添加了关于第二次机会的强烈声明性陈述。

• Once a whore, you're nothing more

  ➔ 省略：省略单词（“Once you *are* a whore”）。 这用于创建更非正式和更有影响力的陈述。

  ➔ 隐含的动词“are”会产生更快，更严厉的判断。

• Looking as innocent as possible to get to who They want and what they want, it's easy if you do it right

  ➔ 修饰名词的形容词从句（as innocent as possible）

  ➔ "As...as possible" 是一种表达达到某种品质最大程度的常见结构。 此结构修改了“looking”，描述了某人的行为方式。“it's easy if you do it right” 使用了隐含的“to”来达到目的； 如果您以正确的方式做事，那么获得想要的东西很容易
