JT 的翻譯小窩

不得不說 Down Bad 這首歌的歌名滿難下標的
先跟各位解釋一下 Down Bad 這個詞的意思
Down Bad 的意思是為了愛一個人甘願犧牲自己的道德標準和名聲
為了去愛可以犧牲自己所擁有的一切 
但也有人會用來解釋一個人經歷分手後走不出後遺症的感覺
而在這首歌中 Taylor 非常巧妙的玩味了這個詞
他先是在主歌加入了許多跟宇宙、雲端有關的詞彙
來描述自己在這段戀情時多麽快樂 彷彿置入仙境般
最後卻被這個人給拋下 彷彿讓她被打入凡間
只能做出在健身房哭泣這種平凡又無謂的事情
總之整首歌只能說歌詞是寫得相當悲淒又難過
尤其對於 maybe 還在暈船中 或是剛結束一段感情的人
聽起來一定是格外有感吧 絕對是專輯裡我名列前茅喜歡的歌曲之一

[Verse 1]
Did you really beam me up 你將我如此向上傳送到
In a cloud of sparkling dust 滿是閃亮星塵的高空中
Just to do experiments on? 難道只是為了實驗嗎
Tell me I was the chosen one 告訴我我是那萬中選一
Showed me that this world is bigger than us 告訴我世界遠比我們想像的還大
Then sent me back where I came from 最後又將我拋下 一切打回原形

[Pre-Chorus]
For a moment, I knew cosmic love 有那麼一瞬間 我似乎理解什麼是穿越天際的愛

[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym 現在我墜入凡間 只能在健身房哭泣
Everything comes out teenage petulance 一切不過就是青少年鬧脾氣
"Fuck it if I can't have him" 無法擁有他我還活著幹嘛
"I might just die, it would make no difference" 我不如去死一死 反正世界有沒有我也沒差
Down bad, wakin' up in blood 一無所有的我 滿是傷痕的醒來
Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up 雙眼空洞瞪著天 只盼你能回來接走我
Fuck it if I can't have us 我們沒戲唱我幹嘛還努力呢
I might just not get up, I might stay 我不如一輩子躺在這 永遠別離開了

[Post-Chorus]
Down bad 這份愛已沉淪谷底
Fuck it if I can't have him 不能擁有你讓我什麼都不在乎了
Down bad 失去你彷彿失去了一切
Fuck it if I can't have him 身邊沒有你我什麼都不想管了

[Verse 2]
Did you take all my old clothes 你是不是帶走了我所有的舊衣服
Just to leave me here, naked and alone 只為了把我留在這 赤裸裸而孤獨
In a field in my same old town 那片來自老家的熟悉田野
That somehow seems so hollow now? 為何現在看來感覺裝滿了寂寞
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about 人們鐵定會為我冠上瘋子的標籤
The existence of you 一旦我願意提及你的存在

[Pre-Chorus]
For a moment, I was heavenstruck 有那麼一瞬間 我彷彿置身天堂

[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym (Cryin' at the gym) 現在我墜入凡間 只能在健身房哭泣
Everything comes out teenage petulance 一切不過就是青少年鬧脾氣
"Fuck it if I can't have him" (Fuck it if I can't have him) 無法擁有他我還活著幹嘛
"I might just die, it would make no difference" 我不如去死一死 反正世界有沒有我也沒差
Down bad, wakin' up in blood (Wakin' up in blood) 一無所有的我 滿是傷痕的醒來
Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up 雙眼空洞瞪著天 只盼你能回來接走我
Fuck it if I can't have us 我們沒戲唱我幹嘛還努力呢
I might just not get up, I might stay 我不如一輩子躺在這 永遠別離開了

[Post-Chorus]
Down bad (Like I lost my twin) 愛到失去一切 就像失去雙胞胎ㄧ樣
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad) 不能擁有你讓我什麼都不在乎了
Down bad (Wavin' at the ship) 現在我一無所有 只能向離去的船隻招手
Fuck it if I can't have him 身邊沒有你我什麼都不想管了

[Bridge]
I loved your hostile takeovers 我就愛你在我們感情裡展現的惡意
Encounters closer and closer 一步步逐漸更認識你之後
All your indecent exposures 你所有的惡行才慢慢攤在陽光下
How dare you say that it's— 你怎麼有臉這麼說
I'll build you a fort on some planet 我會為你在遙遠彼方建座堡壘 
Where they can all understand it 那裡的人一定能真正了解你
How dare you think it's romantic 你怎麼敢說這樣是代表浪漫
Leaving me safe and stranded 為了保護我 把我拋在這獨自一人
'Cause fuck it, I was in love 因為該死的 我真的太愛你了
So fuck you if I can't have us 要是我們走不下去我一定罵死你 
'Cause fuck it, I was in love 因為去你的 我真的太愛你

[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym (Cryin' at the gym) 現在我墜入凡間 只能在健身房哭泣
Everything comes out teenage petulance 一切不過就是青少年鬧脾氣
"Fuck it if I can't have him" (Can't have him) 無法擁有他我還活著幹嘛
"I might just die, it would make no difference" 我不如去死一死 反正世界有沒有我也沒差
Down bad, wakin' up in blood (Wakin' up in blood) 一無所有的我 滿是傷痕的醒來
Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up 雙眼空洞瞪著天 只盼你能回來接走我
Fuck it if I can't have us 我們沒戲唱我幹嘛還努力呢
I might just not get up, I might stay 我不如一輩子躺在這 永遠別離開了

[Post-Chorus]
Down bad (Like I lost my twin) 愛到失去一切 就像失去雙胞胎ㄧ樣
Fuck it if I can't have him (I'm down bad) 不能擁有你讓我什麼都不在乎了
Down bad (Wavin' at the ship) 現在我一無所有 只能向離去的船隻招手
Fuck it if I can't have him 身邊沒有你我什麼都不想管了

[Outro]
Like I lost my twin 彷彿失去雙胞胎ㄧ樣
Fuck it if I can't have him 不能擁有你讓我什麼都不在乎了
Down bad (Wavin' at the ship) 現在我一無所有 只能向離去的船隻招手
Fuck it if I can't have him 身邊沒有你我什麼都不想管了
