Bad day [ 2006-05-15 11:46 ]
中文歌词:我们最需要好运的时候它在哪里,你踢起地上的落叶,魔法消失了。你告诉我你蔚蓝的天空渐已灰暗,你告诉我你心中的热情也已冷淡,而我不必再去坚持。站在情绪低谷的边缘,你强装微笑,品着咖啡。你告诉我你的生活已背离常轨,你每一次都会摔得粉碎,而我……
本网小评:不知多少人一天的生活是从闹钟开始的?对于这支曲子,很多人更喜欢它的MTV,所以,今天的点评也先从MTV最初那段先声夺人的“闹钟”开始——尽管,整部MTV之所以叫座,是因为它的故事与几米漫画里的《向左走向右走》颇有异曲同工之处……
推荐:Free
loop——这是一种什么样的感觉?想告诉爱人,我是爱你的,我已习惯了把你名字挂在口边,但是不知为什么,今天就是懒懒的;想告诉家人,我一直梦想能不负众望,为家乡赢得声誉,但是不知为什么,今天就是懒懒的
……
然而,即时是在这种无奈的、懒懒的情绪中徘徊,即时心中的爱无法表达,遥远的理想无法实现,我还是要说:对我来说,失败很难……
Lyrics
Bad
day
by Daniel Powter
Where is the moment when we
need it
the most You kick up the leaves
and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue sky's fade to gray You tell me your passion's
gone away And I don't need no carryin'
on
You stand in the line just to
hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee to
go You tell me your life's been way off
line You're falling to
pieces every time And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day You're taking one down You
sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me
don't lie You work at a smile and
you go for a ride You had a bad
day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't
mind You had a bad day You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday The
point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a
sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't
lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The
camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had
a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole
things it turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you
could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you
and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You
sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me
don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad
day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more
time? You had a bad day You had a bad day

it the most:依据上下文,这里的it应与bad day(糟糕的一天;坏运气)相对应,指代“好运气”。
2. And I don't need no carryin'
on=And I don't need to carry on(我不必再去坚持) 在歌曲Don't worry, be
happy里,我们曾见过类似的表达,即“双重否定依然表否定”。
3. hit a new low:be out
of luck; be in a (melancholy) mood(处于低谷;运气不佳;心情很糟;即我们说的“霉运来了”)
4. off line: off course, on the wrong

7. work at a smile:“强挤出一丝微笑”,
形容笑得很艰难。
8. go for a ride:
可以理解为“乘公车去上班”,也可以理解为“开车去兜风”。依据这首歌的MTV和整首歌的意境,前者更贴切一点。
