Either Or的评论
5
《Either/Or》总算听得差不多了，不耻于问，能译的都译出来了，除了那首《Cupid's Trick》，
那天看着词听CD，发现没这首词，
Syren说
那首歌本来就没有歌词，或者说，原来是有歌词的，但是Elliott Smith自己忘记为什么要写那样的歌词了，所以没有附在CD里。
也许他确实在唱
“sugar lit me up, it's my life”，
当然，
你知道sugar指的是什么
当然，译词肯定有纰漏，那是在所难免的
Speed Trials
He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
他和乐意 你受控在海洛因之下
在装满溅有黑点的玻璃的教堂里
唱着伴有回声的甜美歌声（神圣的地方做低下的交易）
To destroy their master
May be a long time til you get the call-up
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
去毁灭他们的主人
也许在你得到征集令前会有很长一段时间
但肯定它会像你的运气一样艰难
No one'll know where you are
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials still standing in place
没人会知道你在哪儿（卖药者去摧毁了"教主"和他的顾客）
只是一个简单短暂的微笑在你脸上掠过
你想快速的奔跑 却仍停在原地
When the socket's not a shock enough
You little child what makes you think you're tough
When all the people you think you're above
除此之外没什么能给他们心跳的速度感足以震撼（很难理解的一个字面意思）
你这个小孩子,还以为自己很倔强
当你认为你在他人之上
They all know what's the matter
You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true
There's always something you come back running to
他们全都知道是怎么回事
你是一个乒乓球 这是真的
总有些事让你留连忘返
To follow the path of no resistance
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials still standing in place
沿着无法抵抗的脚步
只是一个简单短暂的微笑在你脸上掠过
你想快速的奔跑 却仍停在原地
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials still standing in place
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials all over the place
只是一个简单短暂的微笑在你脸上掠过
你想快速的奔跑 却仍停在原地
是一个简单短暂的微笑在你脸上掠过
你想快速的奔跑 却发现没有方向
Alameda
You walk down alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
你漫步在林荫道审视人与人之间的虚伪
就像一些宝贝如独子
低头吧 向现实屈服
You walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense
你漫步在林荫道上看着人行道上的裂缝
想起你的朋友们
你怎么让他们一直提心吊胆
For your own protection over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you can’t finish what you start
把自己隔绝不接受他们的感情
没有人伤过你的心
你自己伤了自己,因为你善始不善终
Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
Could plague me when I’m awake
And now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
漫步在林荫道上 忘掉你所希望的梦魇
当我醒着烦恼会折磨我
现在你看你最初的错误就是想着你和他们的联系
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in
只用了一两分钟她就喜欢上你
但你陷入困境
You’re all pretension
I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you can’t finish what you start
你完全在伪装
我完全不在意
没有人伤过你的心
你自己伤了自己,因为你善始不善终
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you can’t finish what you start
没有人伤过你的心
你自己伤了自己,因为你善始不善终
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you can’t finish what you start
没有人伤过你的心
你自己伤了自己,因为你善始不善终
Nobody broke your heart
If you’re alone it must be you that wants to be apart
没有人伤过你的心
如果你孤独那定是你自己想独自一人
Ballad Of Big Nothing
throwing candy out to the crowd
dragging down the main
the helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something
to say you're sitting at home now waiting for your brother to call
向人群中扔去“糖丸”
一直遍布整个大街
这个无助的小东西说着脏话,还总有点什么东西
坐在家里等着你的兄弟打电话给你
I saw him down at the alley
having had enough of it all
said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
you can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
我在小路上看到他
对这所有的一切感到厌烦
说你可以在任何时候做任何你想做的事
你能做任何事没人能阻挡你
all spit and spite you're up all night and down every day
a tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
getting in to the back of a car for candy from some stranger
watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
所有唾弃和整日整夜你困扰的
疲倦的人等待被人抬走
坐进车的后坐从陌生人手中拿到“糖丸”
用充满积愤已久的小眼睛看着这些欢笑的人群
you can do what you want to whenever you want to
you can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
do what you want to whenever you want to
do what you want to whenever you want to though it doesn't mean a thing
你可以在任何时候做任何你想做的事
没人能阻挡你
你可以在任何时候做任何你想做的事
在任何时候做任何你想做的事
你可以在任何时候做任何你想做的事尽管它根本不算什么
big nothing

Between the bars
Drink up,baby,stay up all night
With the things you could do,you won't but you might
The potential you'll be,that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
有些事情你能做，但你选择却步不前
你永远都不知你有多棒，你也看不到
看不到我是你唯一的希望
Drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say,and I'll make you okay,and drive them away
The images stuck in your head
陪着我醉吧
只有这样 你才能忘却世间的困扰和忧伤
照我说的做 我会给你安慰 我会令你的烦恼离开
People you've been before that you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I’ll keep them still
那些你不堪回首的往事
它们推推撞撞 不肯和你的意愿合作
我将让它们安静
Drink up, baby, look at the stars.I'll kiss you again
Between the bars,where I'm seeing you
There with your hands in the air,waiting to finally be caught
喝醉吧 Baby 灿烂星空下 让我再一次吻你
就象在你我相识的那间酒吧
你把双手伸向天空,等待这最终的归宿
Drink up one more time,and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart,deep in my heart,separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
再喝醉一次 我会让你成为我的人儿
把你与别人区分开 深藏在我心里 独一无二
那是我的天堂
我将洗淡旧时的记忆
The people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Rose Parade
they asked me to come down and watch the parade
and to march down the street like the duracell bunny
with a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
人们劝我去看游行
像Duracell bunny一样走在街上
从游行人群里向我挤眉弄眼地招手
throwing out candy that looks like money
to people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
扔出的糖像钱一样纷飞
飞向和我反方向的人群
他们想让我一起去玫瑰游行
tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
people were shouting and pushing and saying
and when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
和一个脖子勒着锁链的狗
人们在嘶喊，在推挤，在交谈
我用饭票换来香烟
a ridiculous marching band started playing
and got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
荒唐的乐队开始演奏
让我一起合唱没有感动的颂歌胜利
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
the trumpet has obviously been drinking
because he's fucking up even the simplest lines
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
it's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
音乐已经杂乱无章
他连最简单的旋律都无法合拍
我却要说 这是我不得不看的风景
只是他人的兴致欲望总比我的强烈
and when they clean the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
当他们清扫街道 我将是留下来的那一坨大粪
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
Punch and Judy
a wallflower Punch talks to Judy
in a crowded corner where anybody can listen in
but they don't read page to page or speak easy
now they're gonna go say the words
in the wrong order again
被冷落的人 Punch 和Judy 说着话
在一个拥挤的每个人都注意的角落
但是他们的谈话并不容易
他们开始说
语无伦次的说着
they walk in a circle
through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time
now everybody just stares and whispers
driving around up and down division street
兜着圈子
走过彼此熟悉的街道
每个人都在倾听和低语
开车上山又下山
I used to like it here
it just bums me out to remember
以前很喜欢这样
所有的记忆让人灼伤
can't you ever treat anyone nice?
I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
你能否对人好些？
我想我就会重复同样的错误
they draw the curtain
wait for a call
pretty lucky if they get any kind of response at all
放下窗帘
等人电话
如果你幸运就能接到期盼的铃声
can't you ever treat anyone nice?
I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
你能否对人好些？
我想我就会重复同样的错误
我就会重复同样的错误
Angeles
Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you
To him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
总是有人在这里游荡 拖着新的猎物
我在一张百元美钞上看到了你
你觉得 这是多么荒诞的游戏
而在他却是一种本领
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade
Did you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
’Cos i'm all over it
Angeles
捡到一张票 似乎有利可图
获得 并且失去 是交易的常规
你可曾输光你所有的筹码
并签上罪恶的标记
Angeles
别让我现在开始尝试
因为我已结束
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your 'secret wishes' could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles
我不能让你对什么都满意
你所有的隐秘期望都可能立即实现
永远让我的毒手在你肩头
在我们周围没有傻瓜
在我们周围没有傻瓜
So glad to meet you
Angeles
2-45 AM
I'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you
我要出去梦游
沉睡的记忆已经苏醒
上帝不但不帮你，反而在伤害你
你的女孩也弃你而去
I'm going out now like a baby
a naive unsatisfiable baby
grabbing onto whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
我要象一个小孩子一样走出去
一个永不满足的小孩子
抓住，可抓得稻草
或者高飞或者沉沦
with hidden cracks that don't show
but that constantly just grow
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
把痛苦深埋心里
可痛苦也会生长
我到处寻找攻击我的对手
所有的人都在嘲笑我
you beat it in me that part of you
but I'm gonna split us back in two
tired of living in a cloud
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
你刺痛我装满你的心
但我还是要把它一分两半
我讨厌生活在阴暗里
你要咒骂你就用尽你的全力
It's 2:45 in the morning
and I'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection you've half erased
looking for somebody's arms to
wave away past harms
现在是清晨2：45
我在警告自己
要去一个陌生的地方
带着被你摧残得伤痕累累的心
寻找一个可以
让我忘掉过去的臂膀
I'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
I'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and I'll never go back
我走出路的中心
你们可以消失在黑暗
我走出路的中心
被挤出大道，永不回头
Say Yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
透过一个女孩的双眸我爱上这个世界
她仍在清晨环我左右
虽然我们已经分手一月有余我在不知不觉中长大
我还是会在第二天清晨
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
And feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
一直等待着你的出现
直到你给我一瞬的快乐，我就知足
此后的一天就在怒吼
但是我现在变了，不再沉沦
我会重新站起来
事情有点停滞不前，但途中会有转机
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows and you see how it is
They want you or they don't
我可能是又一个傻瓜或是奇迹
第二天你告诉我
无法停止歪歪斜斜的旋转
我终究一败涂地
她终会知道自己所需
我使尽全力伤害自己
我很可能是最后一个知道 没人会告诉我直到我亲眼看到
没人关心你的存在
Say yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
我只知道
透过一个女孩的双眸我爱上这个世界
她仍在清晨环我左右
Either/Or
you're strong, you're stubborn now
in an endless symbolic war
brave or bored, either/or
你充满力量，但很顽固
在这无止境的战场
是勇敢还是个傻瓜
sometimes I ricochet from the past
and at times a future I’ve already had before
champion or chore, either/or
有时我从过去逃离
有时我向未来飞去
这是荣耀还是平凡
I’ll write the pages you rip out
back in their places again
one day you’ll know what you’re talking about
can hardly imagine, but until then I’ll be
filling in these blanks that you create
every time you win some petty score
posing as hardcore,
oh yeah, either/or
我的信会被你撕得粉碎
我们会回到相识的原点
也许很难，但我会竭尽全力
填补没有你的心
每次你都会装模作样地胜利
可是，谁会在乎非此即彼
OH 非此即彼 非此即彼
look at the spin chief
battered and broken
clutching a plastic rose
we’re all in the downpour you carry around for
trashing a lifestyle you’ve never known
It’s a useful dream that makes
quite an entertaining show and not much more
up against and for, either/or
看那个挑梁小丑
遭受打击而一厥不振
还攥着一朵塑料玫瑰花
我们被这些作秀小丑包围
过着从未预料的糜烂生活
这样的实用梦想
仅仅适合娱乐大众的胃口
仅此而已 非此即彼

你咬着手指甲
满脑子都充斥着回忆
所有的人都会最终离去
Sweet Sweet smile
That's fading fast,that'sfading
Cause everybody's gone at last
多么甜美的笑容
都将会褪去
因为所有的人最终都会离去
Don't get up set about it
No not anymore
There's nothing wrong
你不会在为此伤悲
不会再伤悲
没有什么不好
That wasn't wrong before
Had a second alone
With a chance let pass
And everybody's gone at last
我现在没有做错
以前更没有做错
错失良机我只好捡起代替
所有的人最终都会离去
I hope you're not waiting
Waiting 'round for me
Because I'm not going anywhere
我希望你不要等待
不要等我
因为我没有未来
Obviously
Got a broken heart And your name on my cast
And everybody's gone at last
Everybody's gone at last
显然
刻有你名字的心，破碎支离，袒露在外
所有的人都会最终离去
所有的人都会最终离去
Rose Parade
they asked me to come down and watch the parade
and to march down the street like the duracell bunny
with a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
人们劝我去看游行
像Duracell bunny一样走在街上
从游行人群里向我挤眉弄眼地招手
throwing out candy that looks like money
to people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
扔出的糖像钱一样纷飞
飞向和我反方向的人群
他们想让我一起去玫瑰游行
tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
people were shouting and pushing and saying
and when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
和一个脖子勒着锁链的狗
人们在嘶喊，在推挤，在交谈
我用饭票换来香烟
a ridiculous marching band started playing
and got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
荒唐的乐队开始演奏
让我一起合唱没有感动的颂歌胜利
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
the trumpet has obviously been drinking
because he's fucking up even the simplest lines
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
it's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
音乐已经杂乱无章
他连最简单的旋律都无法合拍
我却要说 这是我不得不看的风景
只是他人的兴致欲望总比我的强烈
and when they clean the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
当他们清扫街道 我将是留下来的那一坨大粪
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
可以和我去玫瑰游行吗
Punch and Judy
a wallflower Punch talks to Judy
in a crowded corner where anybody can listen in
but they don't read page to page or speak easy
now they're gonna go say the words
in the wrong order again
被冷落的人 Punch 和Judy 说着话
在一个拥挤的每个人都注意的角落
但是他们的谈话并不容易
他们开始说
语无伦次的说着
they walk in a circle
through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time
now everybody just stares and whispers
driving around up and down division street
兜着圈子
走过彼此熟悉的街道
每个人都在倾听和低语
开车上山又下山
I used to like it here
it just bums me out to remember
以前很喜欢这样
所有的记忆让人灼伤
can't you ever treat anyone nice?
I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
你能否对人好些？
我想我就会重复同样的错误
they draw the curtain
wait for a call
pretty lucky if they get any kind of response at all
放下窗帘
等人电话
如果你幸运就能接到期盼的铃声
can't you ever treat anyone nice?
I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
你能否对人好些？
我想我就会重复同样的错误
我就会重复同样的错误
Angeles
Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you
To him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
总是有人在这里游荡 拖着新的猎物
我在一张百元美钞上看到了你
你觉得 这是多么荒诞的游戏
而在他却是一种本领
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade
Did you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
’Cos i'm all over it
Angeles
捡到一张票 似乎有利可图
获得 并且失去 是交易的常规
你可曾输光你所有的筹码
并签上罪恶的标记
Angeles
别让我现在开始尝试
因为我已结束
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your 'secret wishes' could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles
我不能让你对什么都满意
你所有的隐秘期望都可能立即实现
永远让我的毒手在你肩头
在我们周围没有傻瓜
在我们周围没有傻瓜
So glad to meet you
Angeles
2-45 AM
I'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you
我要出去梦游
沉睡的记忆已经苏醒
上帝不但不帮你，反而在伤害你
你的女孩也弃你而去
I'm going out now like a baby
a naive unsatisfiable baby
grabbing onto whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
我要象一个小孩子一样走出去
一个永不满足的小孩子
抓住，可抓得稻草
或者高飞或者沉沦
with hidden cracks that don't show
but that constantly just grow
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
把痛苦深埋心里
可痛苦也会生长
我到处寻找攻击我的对手
所有的人都在嘲笑我
you beat it in me that part of you
but I'm gonna split us back in two
tired of living in a cloud
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
你刺痛我装满你的心
但我还是要把它一分两半
我讨厌生活在阴暗里
你要咒骂你就用尽你的全力
It's 2:45 in the morning
and I'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection you've half erased
looking for somebody's arms to
wave away past harms
现在是清晨2：45
我在警告自己
要去一个陌生的地方
带着被你摧残得伤痕累累的心
寻找一个可以
让我忘掉过去的臂膀
I'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
I'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and I'll never go back
我走出路的中心
你们可以消失在黑暗
我走出路的中心
被挤出大道，永不回头
Say Yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
透过一个女孩的双眸我爱上这个世界
她仍在清晨环我左右
虽然我们已经分手一月有余我在不知不觉中长大
我还是会在第二天清晨
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
And feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
一直等待着你的出现
直到你给我一瞬的快乐，我就知足
此后的一天就在怒吼
但是我现在变了，不再沉沦
我会重新站起来
事情有点停滞不前，但途中会有转机
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows and you see how it is
They want you or they don't
我可能是又一个傻瓜或是奇迹
第二天你告诉我
无法停止歪歪斜斜的旋转
我终究一败涂地
她终会知道自己所需
我使尽全力伤害自己
我很可能是最后一个知道 没人会告诉我直到我亲眼看到
没人关心你的存在
Say yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
我只知道
透过一个女孩的双眸我爱上这个世界
她仍在清晨环我左右
Either/Or
you're strong, you're stubborn now
in an endless symbolic war
brave or bored, either/or
你充满力量，但很顽固
在这无止境的战场
是勇敢还是个傻瓜
sometimes I ricochet from the past
and at times a future I’ve already had before
champion or chore, either/or
有时我从过去逃离
有时我向未来飞去
这是荣耀还是平凡
I’ll write the pages you rip out
back in their places again
one day you’ll know what you’re talking about
can hardly imagine, but until then I’ll be
filling in these blanks that you create
every time you win some petty score
posing as hardcore,
oh yeah, either/or
我的信会被你撕得粉碎
我们会回到相识的原点
也许很难，但我会竭尽全力
填补没有你的心
每次你都会装模作样地胜利
可是，谁会在乎非此即彼
OH 非此即彼 非此即彼
look at the spin chief
battered and broken
clutching a plastic rose
we’re all in the downpour you carry around for
trashing a lifestyle you’ve never known
It’s a useful dream that makes
quite an entertaining show and not much more
up against and for, either/or
看那个挑梁小丑
遭受打击而一厥不振
还攥着一朵塑料玫瑰花
我们被这些作秀小丑包围
过着从未预料的糜烂生活
这样的实用梦想
仅仅适合娱乐大众的胃口
仅此而已 非此即彼

补充些至少有5首歌与毒品有关,这也没什么奇怪,只是词写得很隐讳
第一首歌困扰了我很久,才明白大概的意思.
《Angeles》 普遍认为是讽刺E.S当时所处唱片业运作之虚伪的,而我最初听到此歌时,只听清"So glad to meet you Angeles" 还以为真是写给哪位Angeles的,而后来看了词,
And be forever with my broken arms around you（永远让我的毒手在你肩头）,
笑,我该笑的,我该冷笑的,生活何尝不是如此
《Between the bars》很棒的词,很棒的旋律,无须多言

第一首的确很难懂，我看了半天了，现在还是不很明白2007-04-24 05:55:50 長 安。
"horse"有海洛因的意思,再加上elliott smith有过两次不成功的戒毒其实,有两句我还一直困惑着
