[English]

[中文]

Tired of being what you want me to be

厌倦了成为你想要我成为的样子

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

感觉如此没有信念，迷失在表面之下

Don't know what you're expecting of me

不知道你对我有什么期望

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

承受着穿你鞋子的压力 (被暗流卷走，只是被暗流卷走)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

我迈出的每一步对你来说都是个错误 (被暗流卷走，只是被暗流卷走)

CHORUS: I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

副歌： 我已经变得如此麻木，感觉不到你的存在

CHORUS: Become so tired, so much more aware

副歌： 变得如此疲惫，却更加清醒

CHORUS: By becoming this all I want to do

副歌： 通过变成这样，我只想做

CHORUS: Is be more like me and be less like you

副歌： 更像我自己，少像你一点

Can't you see that you're smothering me?

你看不见你快要让我窒息了吗？

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

抓得太紧，害怕失去控制

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

因为你认为我会成为的一切

Has fallen apart, right in front of you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

在你眼前崩塌 (被暗流卷走，只是被暗流卷走)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

我迈出的每一步，对你来说都是个错误 (被暗流卷走，只是被暗流卷走)

And every second I waste is more than I can take!

我浪费的每一秒，都让我无法承受！

Grammar:

• Tired of being what you want me to be

  ➔ "tired of" 之后的动名词短语；"what" 作为关系代词

  ➔ "Tired of" 后面跟着动名词 (being)。"What" 作为关系代词，意思是“……的东西”。它结合了关系代词及其先行词的功能。

• Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

  ➔ 现在分词 "feeling" 充当简化的关系从句；形容词 "lost" 作为过去分词充当形容词。

  ➔ "Feeling so faithless" 修饰句子的主语（隐含的 "I"）。"Lost under the surface" 描述了一种状态。"Lost" 不是主要动词，而是用作形容词的过去分词。

• Don't know what you're expecting of me

  ➔ 否定祈使句；"what" 作为 "expecting" 的宾语的从句; 介词 "of" 显示关系。

  ➔ "Don't know" 是一个表达缺乏知识的否定祈使句。"What you're expecting of me" 是一个充当 "know" 宾语的名词性从句。 "Of me" 指示了期望与什么相关。

• Every step that I take is another mistake to you

  ➔ 以 "that" 作为主语的关系从句；"mistake" 前面的限定词 "Another"；表达方向或接收者的介词 "to"。

  ➔ "That I take" 是一个修饰 "step" 的关系从句。"Another mistake" 暗示当前步骤不是第一个。"To you" 指示了从哪个角度来看，该步骤被视为错误。

• I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

  ➔ 现在完成时 "I've become"；副词 "so" 修饰形容词 "numb"；情态动词 "can't" 表示无能。

  ➔ "I've become" 表示一种始于过去并持续到现在的状态。 "So numb" 增强了麻木的感觉。"Can't feel" 意味着说话者无法感知另一个人。

• Can't you see that you're smothering me?

  ➔ 情态动词 "Can" 用于提问以表达询问；"See" 作为知觉动词后跟 "that" 从句；现在进行时 "you're smothering" 表示正在进行的动作。

  ➔ "Can't you see" 是一种要求理解的请求。“that” 从句指定了说话者希望对方理解的内容。“You're smothering me” 描述了对方的行为。

• But I know I may end up failing too

  ➔ 表达对比的连词 "but"；表达可能性的情态动词 "may"； 动名词 "failing" 后面的 "End up"； 表示补充的副词 "too"。

  ➔ "But" 与之前的陈述形成对比。“May end up failing” 表达了说话者对其成功的 不确定性。 “Too” 表明，就像另一个人一样，说话者也可能失败。

• You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

  ➔ 过去时 "were"； "Just" 作为程度副词； 表示关联的介词 "with"； 充当形容词的过去分词 "disappointed"。
