自转Black Market Music 部分歌词翻译
这个冲动始于昨晚。或许真如某人所说的，我对安慰剂的狂热正值顶峰了。昨晚才跟人谈及Brian，继而聊到家庭与种种，我说想要挣脱这些桎梏不容易啊，我深有体会。昨晚有些失眠，第二天早上还有一个2B证的考试要六点钟起床。半夜听着这张《黑市音乐》，顿时“一半明媚一半忧伤”。Taste In Men的MV上，Brian瘦弱如四娘般的脸颓然却有毫不掩饰的unique beauty。或许那个属于青涩时代性感又张狂的Brian才是我最最迷恋的、想要见证的Bri吧。“谁也没有穿越术，Bri也再不是那个擦着黑色指甲油，身着吊带裙加豹纹丝袜的Bir了”——我曾在签名中这样写道。即使他换回了90年代的大妈头也不能掩盖岁月给他的成熟和苍老，虽然他依然迷人。就如昨儿三更半夜的我连着听了两遍《黑》，冲动得多么想至少发个短信给那个曾经很萌很萌Placebo、导致后来我莫名其妙萌了不该萌的东西的人，告诉她我现在对这一切是多么的感同身受啊，甚至从萌那面皮到自以为是的精神合体了——再怎么说她毕竟陪我撑过了迄今为止最彷徨痛苦的时光呵，可是我抑制了这个念头，因为......我丫的根本没有她的QQ跟电话了!...而我也不知道她现在是否还喜欢Brian呢，然后还能想起我么。
总之自我感觉这张专辑是许许多多情感的汇集，它们大多是blue的，不知所措的，可有时又能予以心灵的慰籍，或许是因为作为听众的我有过类似的挣扎吧。
要说的是，我英语也不算很好。或许会问：“不好你在这里炫啥啊？”其实我不在意我翻译得能不能让中国高兴，我没有要证明什么，只是出于纯粹的喜欢。
这句话我昨晚就想好了。╮(╯▽╰)╭

我非常喜欢这首歌，因此也拿它作个结尾。据说Bri表达的是对美国情节的厌恶：“Three and a half minutes of self-disgust American style.”对于他提到了他的妈妈，解释是："I wanted to say hi to my mum... Hi, Mom. It's so American. And, you know, I still love my mother... I thought it would be really nice to make her quite happy... at one point, maybe for one verse at least, she might think, "Oh, that's nice. My son still loves me." Brian in an interview in 'Melody Maker' 不过我觉得这也是歧义很大的一个地方。As we all know，B的妈妈是基督徒，B的童年就是在絮絮叨叨的教义与human nature中挣扎度过的。事实上年轻的他对这个家不成家的broken home还是心有馀悸的。所以对于提及mommy的用意，像我这种不明真相的群众也只好根据自己的经历与判断去解读了。
2012.10.27
起初我将Blue翻译成“忧郁的”，如今再想，似乎不够准确。诚如上文，Brian在这首歌里表达的更多是厌恶，将Blue翻译成“下流的”似乎更符合要义，并且在第一段中能够跟Vulgar对仗。但我想，从多方面考虑乃至曲风，这首歌也并不匮乏忧郁的成分，所以谓之BLUE American而非VULGAR American吧。
总之自我感觉这张专辑是许许多多情感的汇集，它们大多是blue的，不知所措的，可有时又能予以心灵的慰籍，或许是因为作为听众的我有过类似的挣扎吧。
要说的是，我英语也不算很好。或许会问：“不好你在这里炫啥啊？”其实我不在意我翻译得能不能让中国高兴，我没有要证明什么，只是出于纯粹的喜欢。

My son still loves me." Brian in an interview in 'Melody Maker' 不过我觉得这也是歧义很大的一个地方。As we all know，B的妈妈是基督徒，B的童年就是在絮絮叨叨的教义与human nature中挣扎度过的。事实上年轻的他对这个家不成家的broken home还是心有馀悸的。所以对于提及mommy的用意，像我这种不明真相的群众也只好根据自己的经历与判断去解读了。

起初我将Blue翻译成“忧郁的”，如今再想，似乎不够准确。诚如上文，Brian在这首歌里表达的更多是厌恶，将Blue翻译成“下流的”似乎更符合要义，并且在第一段中能够跟Vulgar对仗。但我想，从多方面考虑乃至曲风，这首歌也并不匮乏忧郁的成分，所以谓之BLUE American而非VULGAR American吧。
