歌词与翻译

[中文]

如果魔鬼藏在细节里，而上帝是万物之源

谁又能说他们不是一体两面？

但他们谁也不在那里

在廉价的中间楼座

或者醒来时身处凌乱的床单

...

我们不是什么

我们也不是虚无

我们游离在有意义的事物之间

但你想要

我也想要

到最后，只有这一点重要

...

如果魔鬼藏在细节里

那么上帝就藏在你牙缝间的空隙里

你就是在做上帝的事

每次你对我微笑时

我不再相信任何事情，除了

你和我，至高无上

...

但我仍然想念你

即使和你在一起时

因为我知道我们不是

认真对待

...

[英语]

If the Devil's in the details and God is everything

Who's to say that they are not one in the same?

But neither one of them were there

In the mezzanine cheap seats

Or waking up in dirty sheets

We were not something

We were not nothing

We were in between things that made sense

But you wanted it

And I wanted it

And that's the only thing that mattered in the end

If the Devil's in the details

Then God is in the gap in your teeth

You are doing the Lord's work

Every time you smile at me

I don't believe in anything anymore except

You and me, supremacy

But I still miss you

When I'm with you

'Cause I know we're not

Playing for keeps

重点语法结构

• If the Devil's in the details and God is everything...

  ➔ 条件句 (类型1/2) & 并列

  ➔ 句子以“if”从句开头，表达一种假设情况。“and”连接两个独立分句。“Devil's”表示所有格。

• But neither one of them were there...

  ➔ 否定代词 & 过去式 (were)

  ➔ 'Neither' 引入了关于先前提及的两个实体的否定声明。“Were”是“to be”的过去复数形式，表示过去的状态。请注意，即使在“one of them”的情况下也使用了“were”，这在正式英语中很常见。

• We were not something, We were not nothing...

  ➔ 否定句 & 平行结构

  ➔ “We were not...”的重复创建了平行结构，强调了他们关系的模糊性。使用“something”和“nothing”作为抽象名词突出了缺乏定义。

• But you wanted it and I wanted it...

  ➔ 并列 & 过去式 (wanted)

  ➔ “and”连接两个独立分句，两者都表达了一种愿望（“wanted”）。过去时表示一种存在于特定时间的愿望。

• You are doing the Lord's work...

  ➔ 现在进行时 & 习语

  ➔ 现在进行时（“are doing”）暗示一个正在进行中的动作。“The Lord's work”是一个习语，意思是做一些在道德上好的或有益的事情。它在这里被讽刺地使用。
