The fortune queen of New Orleans

Was brushing her cat in her black limousine

On the backseat were scratches from

The marks of men, her fortune she had won

Couldn't see through the tinted glass

She said, "Home, James" and he hit the gas

I followed her to some darkened room

She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one

黑暗女郎笑着跳舞，一根一根地点燃蜡烛

Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done

随着吉普赛音乐跳舞，直到她的药剂熬制完成

Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12

She told me more about me than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three

And mumbled some words that were so strange to me

My advice is that you leave this place

Never come back and forget you ever saw my face"

Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one

Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done

Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the twelve

She told me more about me than I knew myself

So, I ran home and crawled in my bed

I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said

Then I remembered her strange perfume

然后我想起了她奇怪的香水

And how I smelled, it was in my own room

我闻到的味道，就在我自己的房间里

And so, I sneaked back and caught her with my man

所以，我偷偷溜回去，抓住了她和我的男人

Laughing and kissing 'til they saw the gun in my hand

笑着亲吻，直到他们看到我手中的枪

The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor

接下来我知道的是，他们已经死在地板上

Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

黑暗女郎再也无法翻开任何一张牌了

Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one

Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done

Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12

문법:

• On the backseat were scratches from The marks of men, her fortune she had won

  ➔ 倒装强调

  ➔ 不用'Scratches from the marks of men were on the backseat'，而将'On the backseat'放在句首以示强调。这是一种文体选择，在歌词和诗歌中尤其常见。

• Couldn't see through the tinted glass

  ➔ 省略（省略“I”）

  ➔ 主语代词“I”被省略。完整的句子是“I couldn't see through the tinted glass”。这在非正式口语和歌曲创作中很常见。

• She told me more about me than I knew myself

  ➔ 比较结构，使用“more…than”

  ➔ 这句话使用比较结构“more + [名词/形容词] + than”来表示程度更高。在这里，它表达了“Dark lady”比叙述者自己更了解叙述者。

• The man you love is secretly true To someone else who is very close to you

  ➔ 关系从句（“who is very close to you”）

  ➔ “who is very close to you”这个短语是一个关系从句，修饰“someone else”。它提供了关于该男子秘密忠于的另一个人的补充信息。

• My advice is that you leave this place

  ➔ “is”之后的名词性从句（动词的补语）

  ➔ “that you leave this place”这个短语是一个名词性从句，充当动词“is”的补语。它解释了建议是什么。

• Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

  ➔ 祈使句+虚拟语气（过去时）

  ➔ “Never come back”是祈使句。“Forget you ever saw my face”使用过去虚拟语气“saw”来表达过去假设或不真实的情况。这表明如果听者可以抹去看到说话者脸的回忆，那将是最好的。

• And so, I sneaked back and caught her with my man

  ➔ 过去简单时态 (sneaked, caught) +介词短语 (with my man)

  ➔ 这个句子使用过去简单时态来描述过去完成的动作（'sneaked', 'caught'）。介词短语 'with my man' 指定了她和谁一起被抓到。

• Laughing and kissing 'til they saw the gun in my hand

  ➔ 省略的状语从句（“'til they saw the gun...”）

  ➔ “'Til”是“until”的缩写形式，它引入了一个时间状语从句。“laughing and kissing”的动作一直持续到他们看到枪的时候。这给人一种突然中断的感觉。
