Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I hate to give the satisfaction asking, "How you're doing now?"

真不想如你所愿 问一句“你现在过得怎么样？”

How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?

你假装关心的那些人，为你堆砌的城堡现在如何？

Just what you wanted

正中你下怀

Look at you, cool guy, you got it

看看你，酷家伙，得偿所愿

I see the parties and the diamonds

我看到派对和钻石

Sometimes when I close my eyes

有时当我闭上双眼

Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise

你把六个月的折磨，当成禁忌的乐园来兜售

I loved you truly

我曾真心爱你

You gotta laugh at the stupidity

真该嘲笑自己的愚蠢

'Cause I've made some real big mistakes

因为我犯过一些大错

But you make the worst one look fine

但你让最糟糕的错误看起来也无妨

I should've known it was strange

我早该知道这很奇怪

You only come out at night

你只在夜晚出现

I used to think I was smart

我曾以为自己很聪明

But you made me look so naive

但你让我看起来如此天真

The way you sold me for parts

你把我拆分卖掉的方式

As you sunk your teeth into me, oh

当你将牙齿刺入我，哦

Bloodsucker, dream crusher

吸血鬼，梦想粉碎者

Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire

像该死的吸血鬼一样榨干我

...

...

And every girl I ever talked to

每一个和我聊过的女孩

Told me you were bad, bad news

都告诉我你是个坏消息

You called them crazy

你骂她们疯了

God, I hate the way I called them crazy too

天啊，我讨厌我也骂她们疯了

You're so convincing

你太有说服力了

How do you lie without flinching?

你怎么能面不改色地撒谎？

(How do you lie? How do you lie? How do you lie?)

（你怎么撒谎？你怎么撒谎？你怎么撒谎？）

Ooh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, tragic little thrill

哦，多么迷人，麻痹，悲惨的小刺激

Can't figure out just how you do it, and God knows I never will

搞不懂你怎么做到的，上帝知道我永远也不会明白

Went for me and not her

选择了我而不是她

'Cause girls your age know better

因为和你同龄的女孩更懂事

I've made some real big mistakes

因为我犯过一些大错

But you make the worst one look fine

但你让最糟糕的错误看起来也无妨

I should've known it was strange

我早该知道这很奇怪

You only come out at night

你只在夜晚出现

I used to think I was smart

我曾以为自己很聪明

But you made me look so naive

但你让我看起来如此天真

The way you sold me for parts

你把我拆分卖掉的方式

As you sunk your teeth into me, oh

当你将牙齿刺入我，哦

Bloodsucker, dream crusher

吸血鬼，梦想粉碎者

Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire

像该死的吸血鬼一样榨干我

...

...

You said, "It was true love", but wouldn't that be hard?

你说“那是真爱”，但这难道不难吗？

You can't love anyone, 'cause that would mean you had a heart

你无法爱任何人，因为那意味着你得有颗心

I tried you help you out, now I know that I can't

我曾尝试帮助你，现在我知道我做不到

'Cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand

因为你的想法是我永远无法理解的

...

...

But you made me look so naive

Grammar:

• I hate to give the satisfaction asking, "How you're doing now?"

  ➔ 目的不定式 (to + 动词)

  ➔ 短语 "to give the satisfaction" 表达了憎恨某事的*目的*。说话者讨厌*做*某事，而做某事的目的是为了给某人带来满足感。它解释了她*为什么*讨厌某事，而不是她讨厌什么。

• How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?

  ➔ 省略关系从句 (built off people)

  ➔ "built off people" 是一个省略关系从句。完整的从句是 "built *on* people *that* you pretend to care about"。关系代词 "that" 和助动词 (is/are/were) 通常被省略。

• Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise

  ➔ 过去简单时 (sold) 和省略的关系从句

  ➔ 省略的从句可能是 "that you sold"。句子结构表明了过去的一种销售行为，描述了六个月的折磨。

• I should've known it was strange

  ➔ 情态动词 + have + 过去分词 (should have known)

  ➔ "Should have known" 表达了对过去发生的事情的遗憾。它表明说话者在事实*发生后*才意识到他们*应该早点*意识到这种奇怪之处。

• Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire

  ➔ 使用 "like" 的比喻

  ➔ 该短语使用 "like" 将这个人对说话者的影响（情感上的消耗）与吸血鬼的影响（字面上吸血）进行比较。

• Every girl I ever talked to Told me you were bad, bad news

  ➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句 (Every girl I ever talked to)

  ➔ 完整的关系从句是 "Every girl *that* I ever talked to"。关系代词 "that" (或 "whom") 因为它是动词 "talked" 的宾语而被省略。

• You called them crazy God, I hate the way I called them crazy too

  ➔ The way + 从句：用于描述方式或方法。

  ➔ 短语 "the way I called them crazy" 显示了说话者采取的方式。它不仅突出了她称他们为疯子的*事实*，还突出了她*如何*这样做，可能是模仿了该主题轻蔑的态度。

• I tried to help you out, now I know that I can't

  ➔ 省略（从上下文中理解的单词的省略）

  ➔ 完整的从句是 "I know that I can't help you out"。短语 "help you out" 被省略是因为它已经被提及并且很容易从前面的从句中理解。
