    发帖背景:
    去年外研社英语演讲比赛的时候,楼主临时起意整理了一些泰勒歌词中比较好的表达,准备用于即兴演讲……还真的用上了?
    所以趁着寒假,来认真整理学习一下
    部分翻译来自百度 部分自翻hhh
    每一句翻译都斟酌过许久 如果有不准确之处请指出

      1. State Of Grace
      ——track 1 in RED
      SOG在我心中的地位不输Enchanted和ATW 歌词真的神了
      我永远爱恩皇(恩皇是自己取的哈哈哈哈哈 看到了很多种歌名翻译,有“恩宠状态”,“蒙受天恩”,我翻的是“恩泽之地”,都有一个恩字)

          2. All Too Well
          如果说Enchanted是epic love song,那ATW就是epic break-up song
          专门买的Lover豪华版version1,因为里面有ATW的初始歌词
          ATW = 霉之巅!!!世纪神曲!!!
          红皇永远Slay!!!!!!!!!!!
          这首歌的分析,知乎“如何评价泰勒·斯威夫特的单曲All Too Well?”最高赞答案写得回超级好,大家可以去康康~(此楼的图就是这个回答里哒)

                    8. this night is sparkling, don't you let it go
                    【sparkling】= shining and flashing with light 闪烁的、闪耀的
                    但夜晚怎么会闪光呢?所以,“this night is sparkling”可以理解为“这个夜晚繁星满天”。
                    Ps:忽然想到考拉王(Call It What You Want)里我最爱的歌词:“Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night.”
                    9. I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
                    【wonderstruck】= (of a person) experiencing a sudden feeling of awed delight or wonder 因欢喜而惊讶不已

                    Ps:联想到Clean里的“It was months and months back and forth.”感觉Taylor写歌时比较喜欢用一些表达,比如“take me home”、“so it goes”、“walk through the door”、“story、page”、“flashback”等等(就像戳爷喜欢提游泳池2333)
                    13. this night is flawless, don't you let it go
                    【flawless】完美的、无瑕的

                              1. My castle crumbled overnight

                              所以这句可以理解为:骗子们统一口径,反咬我一口

                              我比之前做得要好。
                              Ps:我个人觉得这句很有感。每次遇到 挫折或者一些难以承受的事,我都会对自己说:“和Taylor一样,I'm doing better than I ever was.”
