今天休息,我花了不短的时间写这样一篇翻译系列,好久没有写翻译文章了,颇为怀念。最近几乎一直在单曲循环这首英语歌《Innocence》,觉得很有感觉,感想不少,那就决定把它给翻译出来,分享给大家。某微音乐单曲循环‖如侵立删

我为什么要用《纯美时代》这个翻译呢?innocence这个单词,如果我们去差一点,大致是“纯真无邪、纯洁、无辜、天真”等等说法。但是,如果我们读完了整篇歌词,就会感受到作者的那一份美好的感觉,一幕幕美好的画面,仿佛电影一般展现在我们面前,那如何能不算是一种纯洁的美好时代呢?故有此题。
我们首先来整体感知一下英文歌词,哪怕一句也听不懂,培养下语感也是很不错的。如果一边听歌,一边对照歌词,你会有更多的感悟。
Innocence~Avril Lavigne来自网络‖如侵立删
Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life
And now it's so great
Slowing down I look around
And I am so amazed
I think about the little things
That make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
I found a place so safe
Not a single tear
The first time in my life
And now it's so clear
Feel calm my belong
I'm so happy here
It's so strong
And now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
It's the state of bliss you think
You're dreaming
It's the happiness inside
That you're feeling
It's so beautiful
It makes you wanna cry
It's the state of bliss you think
You're dreaming
It's the happiness inside
That you're feeling
It's so beautiful
It makes you wanna cry
It's so beautiful
It makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant
It makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant
Please don't go away
'Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

下面我们逐句逐段地翻译,我们就要把整首歌词分成若干部分。关于这首歌创作背景,据说是艾薇儿纪念纯真友情,同好朋友Ewan一起创作而成。
第一段:

This is the best feeling

幸福之感,美梦成真。晚上吃川菜

请别走,我现在需要你。
我要这美好时光,你岂能让它溜走?
此刻如此完美。

初居岭南,总不适应,总怀念成都的菜,更怀念学校里的那些可爱纯真的孩子们,于是乎,我就在岭南买了火锅底料,回去自己炖川辣火锅吃,然而终究没有纯真无邪的孩子们为伴,终是枉然。
今天,听着艾薇儿的《Innocence》,鬼使神差跑到川菜窗口去买了一份晚饭,一把吃一边辣得我直喘气,上气不接下气,还怕自己自己就给辣得背过气去。
哪怕吃着川菜,我也要就着《Innocence》才能下咽(戴着耳机听歌),吃久了清淡,忽然让我吃着这份麻辣,还真是颇不习惯。
吃饭时,两个月以来每天就着阅读这件事,竟然因为怀念青春而打破,这也是我没有想到的事。
不过,也没必要执着于究竟是阅读就着吃饭,还是音乐就着吃饭,它们都是饭菜的佐料而已。如此一想,我顿时感觉一阵放松。
最后,我们一起来重复感悟一下翻译的中文全文,如下:
