Sailor Song

• By: Gigi Perez

Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I saw her in the rightest way

我看到她最美好的一面

Looking like Anne Hathaway

看起来像安妮·海瑟薇

Laughing while she hit her pen

她一边笑，一边敲着笔

And coughed, and coughed

不停地咳嗽

And then she came up to my knees

然后她跪在我面前

Begging, "Baby, would you please

恳求着，宝贝，求你

Do the things you said you'd do

做你承诺过的事好吗？

To me, to me?"

对我，对我好吗？

Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?

哦，难道你不想亲吻我的嘴唇，像水手一样爱我吗？

And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?

当你尝到滋味，你能告诉我我是什么味道吗？

I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior

我不信上帝，但我相信你是我的救世主

My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor

我妈说她很担心，但我沉浸在这恩惠中

And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong

当我们变得亲密，我忘记所有不快

I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long

我睡觉是为了梦见你，因为我讨厌等待

I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long

我睡觉是为了梦见你，而且我讨厌等待

...

...

She took my fingers to her mouth

她将我的手指放进嘴里

The kind of thing that makes you proud

那种让你感到骄傲的事情

That nothing else had ever

其他事情都从未

Worked out, worked out

成功过，成功过

And lately, I've tried other things

最近，我尝试了其他事情

But nothing can capture the sting

但没有什么能捕捉到那种刺痛

Of the venom she's gonna

她即将吐出的

Spit out right now

毒液

Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?

哦，难道你不想亲吻我的嘴唇，像水手一样爱我吗？

And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?

当你尝到滋味，你能告诉我我是什么味道吗？

I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior

我不信上帝，但我相信你是我的救世主

I know that you've been worried, but you're dripping in my favor

我知道你一直很担心，但你沉浸在我的恩惠中

And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong

当我们变得亲密，我忘记所有不快

I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long

我睡觉是为了梦见你，因为我讨厌等待

I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long

我睡觉是为了梦见你，而且我讨厌等待

...

...

And we can run away to the walls inside your house

我们可以逃到你房子的墙壁之内

I can be the cat, baby, you can be the mouse

我可以当猫，宝贝，你来当老鼠

And we can laugh off things that we know nothing about

我们可以嘲笑那些我们一无所知的事情

We can go forever until you wanna sit it out

我们可以永远在一起，直到你想放弃

...

...

Grammar:

• Looking like Anne Hathaway

  ➔ 动名词短语作补语

  ➔ "looking like Anne Hathaway" 这个短语用作形容词，描述了说话者如何看待这个人。动名词 "looking" 引入了描述性短语。

• Begging, "Baby, would you please...

  ➔ 使用 "would" 的条件请求

  ➔ “would you please” 这个短语是一种礼貌且带点恳求意味的请求。使用 "would" 使其比直接命令更柔和，更具试探性。

• Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?

  ➔ 使用 "won't" 的否定疑问句

  ➔ 问题 "won't you kiss me..." 意味着希望或期望对方 *会* 亲吻说话者。 否定形式用于强调，可以表达渴望。

• And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?

  ➔ 主谓倒装的嵌入式问题

  ➔ "What's my flavor?" 是直接问题。它嵌入在更大的问题 "Can you tell me...?" 中。 嵌入式问题是一个名词性从句，充当动词 "tell" 的宾语。

• I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior

  ➔ 使用 'but' 的对比和使用 'that' 的名词子句

  ➔ 单词 "but" 表示两个从句之间的对比。"that you're my savior" 是一个名词性从句，充当动词 "believe" 的宾语。

• My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor

  ➔ 间接引语和习语

  ➔ "My mom says that she's worried" 是间接引语。短语 "covered in this favor" 是一个习语，意思是正在经历积极的结果或受到优惠待遇。

• I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long

  ➔ 目的的从属子句和 'so...that' 结构

  ➔ "so I can see you" 这个短语是一个目的从属子句。它解释了说话者睡觉的原因。“so long”在“I hate to wait so long”中可以后跟 that + 从句，使其具有结果性（尽管在歌曲中它使用得更非正式）

• That nothing else had ever Worked out, worked out

  ➔ 过去完成时

  ➔ 过去完成时 "had worked out" 表明其他事情的失败发生在上一行描述的事件（将手指伸到她的嘴边）之前。 它强调说，*在* 这一刻之前，没有其他任何事情是成功的。
