Choosin' Texas – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Ella Langley

歌词与翻译

[中文]

当我以为他已经爱上了田纳西

我本该知道不该带他回阿比林

我把他送回了她的怀抱

我无法与那种火花抗衡

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的方式看出

他在房间里跳着两步舞

从他脸上的笑容来看

我无能为力

不用水晶球也能看出来

牛仔总能找到离开的办法

我独自喝着杰克酒

我能看出来，他选择了德克萨斯

我想他忘了烟雾缭绕的山脉之雨

那些老汉克的曲调，我们曾一起唱的孟菲斯蓝调

他一直很喜欢《清晨的阿马里洛》

我本该把这当作警告

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的方式看出

他在房间里跳着两步舞

从他脸上的笑容来看

我无能为力

不用水晶球也能看出来

牛仔总能找到离开的办法

我独自喝着杰克酒

我能看出来，他选择了德克萨斯

当我向东行驶，忍不住落泪

因为每行驶一英里，40号州际公路就更孤独

我知道他的心意永远不会改变

因为他的心依然属于孤星之州

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的方式看出

他在房间里跳着两步舞

从他脸上的笑容来看

我无能为力，不，是的

不用水晶球也能看出来

牛仔总能找到离开的办法

我独自喝着杰克酒

我能看出来，他选择了德克萨斯，不

我独自喝着杰克酒

我能看出来，他选择了德克萨斯

来吧，宝贝

哦，是的

当我以为他已经爱上了田纳西

...

[英语]

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee

I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene

I put him right back into her arms

I wasn't a match for that kinda spark

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain

Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing

He always loved Amarillo By Morning

I shoulda taken that as warning

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry

Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile

I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change

Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do, naw yeah

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosing Texas I can tell, no

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

C'mon baby

Ohh yeah

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee

重点语法结构

• Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee

  ➔ 过去完成进行时 (认为他*正在*坠入爱河), 条件从句

  ➔ “Just when I thought...”这个短语引入了一个说话者相信某事，但那个信念被证明是错误的时刻。“thought”的进行体暗示强调了她信念的持续性。“with Tennessee”作为修饰“fall in love”的介词短语。

• I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene

  ➔ ‘should have’的缩写，过去虚拟语气 (better than to + 不定式)

  ➔ “shoulda known”这个短语是“should have known”的口语缩写。“better than to”结构表达了遗憾，表明说话者意识到自己犯了一个错误。不定式“take”表示她后悔的行为。

• There's nothin' I can to do

  ➔ 双重否定 (nothin')，情态动词 + 'to' + 不定式 (can to do - 错误，应该是 'can do')

  ➔ “nothin'”的使用是一种口语化的双重否定，在一些方言中很常见。“can to do”这个短语在语法上是错误的，正确的形式是“can do”。

• It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

  ➔ 习语，非人称 ‘it’ 结构

  ➔ 这是一个习语，意思是显而易见。“it”是非人称的，意味着它不指代特定的事物。这个短语强调了理解情况的容易性。
