JT 的翻譯小窩

距離Alec發行他的首張專輯Those Two Windows已隔了一個月多

原諒我最近被太多事務繁忙 一直到現在才能好好來與各位分享裡面的好歌

其實早在專輯發行前 我就已經介紹且翻譯了不少Those Two Windows的優質好歌

今天來分享的是這首I'm Not A Cynic

Cynic意指憤世嫉俗份子的意思 

Alec在這首歌表示了自己並非憤世嫉俗 而是對這世界產生了所謂的冷感

他用現實觀點去看待整個世界 認清了世界的各種生態狀況

是一首很貼近現今許多人類的歌曲 分享給各位

歌曲縱使短 但歌詞卻引人深省

#

[Verse 1]
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself 只是變得現實了些 更誠實對待自己
I've tried being optimistic, but it doesn't seem to help 也嘗試樂觀面對 但似乎沒什麼起色
So, I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt 最終只得承認 這一切我該獨自去面對
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself 並非悲觀厭世 只是誠實的面對自己

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day 我並非憤世 只是今天不夠順心 
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways 試著去處理面對 用了上千種不同的方法
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same 但從任何角度看待 一切看似沒什麼變
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today 發誓我並不是憤世嫉俗 只是缺乏動力前進

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it 並不是在憤世嫉俗 只是沒有勇往直前的那份勁

[Verse 2]
You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you 沒耕耘過得不到甜頭 這世界並非由你做主
Not every Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue 並非每個假日都能放鬆度日 天並非永遠都能保持蔚藍
You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view 這世界不是你改變了看法 就能因此改變什麼
Some days you have to wait until the storms just passes through 有些時候你得坐等風暴離去 那些苦難才會過去

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day 我並非憤世 只是今天不夠順心 
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways 試著去處理面對 用了上千種不同的方法
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same 但從任何角度看待 一切看似沒什麼變
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today 發誓我並不是憤世嫉俗 只是缺乏動力前進

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh

[Bridge]
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves 宛若汪洋上的一艘小船 我會拍打波浪駛行
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake 受夠了自己得裝載這些虛假的想法
Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay 佯裝自己沒事 武裝自己的情緒
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves 我會拍打浪花努力前行 宛若那洋中的小船

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day 我並非憤世 只是今天不夠順心 
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways 試著去處理面對 用了上千種不同的方法
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same 但從任何角度看待 一切看似沒什麼變
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today 發誓我並不是憤世嫉俗 只是缺乏動力前進

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today 並不是在憤世嫉俗 只是沒有勇往直前的那份勁
