Don't Blink – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Kenny Chesney

歌词与翻译

[中文]

- 我小时候，大概八九岁吧。

我和我的伙伴一起躺在草地上，

数星星、数月亮，什么都数。

那是美好的生活。

但现在，我的天，人生就像一颗子弹，太快了。

一天接着一天，感觉就像一个小时。

现在我老了，话题不一样了。

- 你会对新一代人说些什么关于人生的道理呢？

- 付出爱和尊重。

不是每天每时每刻，

但至少特别要对你的父母，

特别是母亲。

(缓慢的乡村音乐开始)

我打开了晚间新闻

看到一位老人正在接受采访

今天满102岁

问他长寿的秘诀是什么

他从他的老烟斗里抬起头

笑着说，“我只能说”

别眨眼

转眼间你就六岁了

你打了个盹

醒来时你已经25岁了

你的高中恋人成了你的妻子

别眨眼

你可能会错过你的孩子们长大，就像我一样

变成妈妈和爸爸

转眼间

陪伴你五十年的伴侣躺在床上

你祈祷上帝带走的是你

相信我，朋友

一百年过得比你想象的还要快

所以，别眨眼

(平静的器乐音乐)

我目不转睛地盯着电视

好像他看着我，然后说

“最好把重要的事情放在首位

因为当你的沙漏里的沙子流完的时候

你不能把它翻过来，重新开始

珍惜上帝给你的每一次呼吸”

别眨眼

转眼间你就六岁了

你打了个盹

醒来时你已经25岁了

你的高中恋人成了你的妻子

别眨眼

你可能会错过你的孩子们长大，就像我一样

变成妈妈和爸爸

转眼间

陪伴你五十年的伴侣躺在床上

你祈祷上帝带走的是你

相信我，朋友

一百年过得比你想象的还要快

所以，别眨眼

(平静的吉他音乐)

所以，我一直在努力放慢脚步

我一直在努力感受当下

就在今天

在我们所生活的这个瞬息万变的世界里

别眨眼

转眼间你就六岁了

你打了个盹

醒来时你已经25岁了

你的高中恋人成了你的妻子

别眨眼

你可能会错过你的孩子们长大，就像我一样

变成妈妈和爸爸

转眼间，你的伴侣

陪伴你五十年的伴侣躺在床上

你祈祷上帝带走的是你

相信我，朋友

一百年过得比你想象的还要快

所以，别眨眼

(平静的器乐音乐)

不，别眨眼

(平静的器乐音乐继续)

别眨眼

人生过得比你想象的还要快

所以，别眨眼

人生过得比你想象的还要快

别眨眼

别眨眼

人生过得比你想象的还要快

(轻柔的吉他音乐)

[英语]

- When I was a kid, about eight, nine years old.

I laid down in the grass and with my buddy,

we counted the stars and moon and all that,

that was a good life.

But today, my God, the life goes like a bullet, too fast.

One day to another look like one hour.

But now since I've been older, different subject.

- What would you tell this new generation about life?

- To give love and respect.

Not all day, every day,

but at least especially to your mother and father,

especially mother.

重点语法结构

• Asked him what's the secret life

  ➔ 间接疑问句

  ➔ 这一行是一个间接问句的例子。不是直接问“生命的秘诀是什么？”，而是将问题嵌入到“Asked him what's the secret life”这个句子中。

• All I can say is

  ➔ 以'all'开始的强调句

  ➔ 这是一种强调句，它强调句子的特定部分。结构是“All + I/主语 + can do/动词 + is + X”，其中 X 被强调。 它用于突出说话者能够说或做的事情。

• Just like that you're six years old

  ➔ 省略（省略主语和动词）

  ➔ 在这里，为了简洁和产生冲击力，省略了主语和动词（“it is”）。 完整的句子可能是“It is just like that, you're six years old.”

• You just might miss your babies growing like mine did

  ➔ 情态动词 'might'（表达可能性）+ 助动词 'did'（为了强调/对比）

  ➔ 'Might'表达了你可能会错过你的孩子成长的可能性。 'Did'在这里用于强调，表明说话者*肯定*错过了他们的孩子成长。 它暗示了与潜在期望的对比或强调。

• Next thing you know, your better half of 50 years is there in bed

  ➔ 习语：'Next thing you know' + 包含隐含'when'的时间从句

• And you're praying God takes you instead

  ➔ 虚拟语气（隐含的愿望）

  ➔ 虽然没有明确使用带有'wish'等词的虚拟语气结构，但该句子暗示了一种愿望或假设的情况：“you're praying (that) God take you instead”。 “Take”是其基本形式，在表示愿望、希望或不真实情况的虚拟语气结构中很常见。

• Cause when your glass runs outta sand

  ➔ 非正式缩写 'Cause (Because) + 短语动词 'run out of'

  ➔ 'Cause'是 'because' 的缩短的非正式版本。 'Run out of' 是一个短语动词，意思是耗尽某物的供应。
