[中文]

4:30 a.m., I'm awake again

凌晨四点半，我又醒了过来

Singing to the dark through open eyes

睁着双眼，对着黑夜轻声吟唱

While dreaming I see only you and me

梦里只有你和我，如此甜蜜

Stuck between desire and compromise

在渴望与妥协之间，进退两难

If I said I want you back I'd be a liar

如果我说想你回来，那我就在说谎

There's nothing left of us to long for anymore

我们之间，再没有什么值得留恋

But inside the ashes burns an endless fire

但在灰烬之中，燃烧着永不熄灭的火焰

And every night I can't help reaching out for more

每个夜晚，我都忍不住想要更多

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

You're leaving me scars scattered in my heart

你给我留下伤疤，散落在我的心房

A road map of all the places you have been

那是你曾到过的，每一处地方的地图

And I can't escape, can't wash this away

我无法逃脱，无法将它洗去

My love has burned your mark so deep within

我的爱已将你的印记，深深烙印

If I said I want you back I'd be a liar

如果我说想你回来，那我就在说谎

There's nothing left of us to long for anymore

我们之间，再没有什么值得留恋

But inside the ashes burns an endless fire

但在灰烬之中，燃烧着永不熄灭的火焰

And every night I can't help reaching out for more

每个夜晚，我都忍不住想要更多

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)

(睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧)

(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)

(睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧，睡吧)

(Sleep, sleep, sleep)

(睡吧，睡吧，睡吧)

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me

我无法入睡，你离我如此遥远

And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

我无法入睡，我无法入睡

文法:

• 4:30 a.m., I'm awake again

  ➔ 使用时间作为背景，使用现在时。

  ➔ 这句歌词用时间来设置场景，立即将听众置于一个特定的时刻。“I'm awake”使用现在时来描述当前状态。

• While dreaming I see only you and me

  ➔ 从属连词“while”，为了强调而颠倒主语-动词的顺序

  ➔ “while”这个词引入一个表示同时发生的从句。倒装（“I see”而不是“see I”在这里不太常见）。使用了强调倒装。

• If I said I want you back I'd be a liar

  ➔ 第二条件句：表达一个不真实或假设的情况。

  ➔ “如果 + 过去式，would + 不定式”的结构表示一种假设情景。说话者表示如果他们说他们希望这个人回来，他们*会*是个骗子，暗示他们并不希望。

• There's nothing left of us to long for anymore

  ➔ 使用“nothing”作为代词，不定式表示目的。

  ➔ “Nothing”充当代词，代替可以渴望的东西。“to long for”一词充当目的的不定式，解释*为什么*什么都不剩。

• But inside the ashes burns an endless fire

  ➔ 为了强调而倒装。（主语-动词倒装）。

  ➔ 不是说“an endless fire burns”，而是倒装了这句话，以强调“an endless fire”，并创造一种更具诗意的效果。主语“an endless fire”在动词“burns”之后。

• You're leaving me scars scattered in my heart

  ➔ 现在进行时，描述正在发生的影响；过去分词用作形容词

  ➔ “You're leaving”表示该动作仍在发生，持续影响着说话者。“Scattered”是一个过去分词，用作形容词来描述伤疤。

• My love has burned your mark so deep within

  ➔ 现在完成时；程度副词

  ➔ “Has burned”是现在完成时，表示一个开始于过去并在现在产生结果的动作。“So deep”使用“so”作为副词，以强调标记在说话者内部的程度。
