歌词与翻译

[中文]

新奥尔良的命运女皇

在黑色豪华轿车里梳着她的猫

后座上是来自

男人们的痕迹，那是她赢得的财富

无法看穿那有色玻璃

她说，“回家，詹姆斯”，他踩下了油门

我跟着她来到一间昏暗的房间

她拿走了我的钱，她说，“我很快就会和你在一起”

...

黑暗女郎笑着跳舞，一根一根地点燃蜡烛

随着吉普赛音乐跳舞，直到她的药剂熬制完成

黑暗女郎施展黑魔法，直到时钟敲响十二点

她告诉了我更多关于我自己的事情，比我自己知道的还多

她发了两张牌，一张皇后和一张三

喃喃自语着一些对我来说非常奇怪的话语

然后她翻出了一张双眼杰克

我的眼睛一片血红，但牌仍然是黑色的

她说，“你爱的男人，实际上

对另一个非常接近你的人是真心的

我的建议是，你离开这个地方

永远不要回来，忘记你曾经见过我的脸”

黑暗女郎笑着跳舞，一根一根地点燃蜡烛

随着吉普赛音乐跳舞，直到她的药剂熬制完成

黑暗女郎施展黑魔法，直到时钟敲响十二点

她告诉了我更多关于我自己的事情，比我自己知道的还多

所以，我跑回家，爬上我的床

因为她所说的一切，我无法入睡

然后我想起了她奇怪的香水

我闻到的味道，就在我自己的房间里

所以，我偷偷溜回去，抓住了她和我的男人

笑着亲吻，直到他们看到我手中的枪

接下来我知道的是，他们已经死在地板上

黑暗女郎再也无法翻开任何一张牌了

黑暗女郎笑着跳舞，一根一根地点燃蜡烛

随着吉普赛音乐跳舞，直到她的药剂熬制完成

黑暗女郎施展黑魔法，直到时钟敲响十二点

...

[英语]

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

Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done

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

And then she turned up a two-eyed jack

My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black

She said, "The man you love is secretly true

To someone else who is very close to you

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

And how I smelled, it was in my own room

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

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

The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor

Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

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

重点语法结构

• 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。
