American mouth
那美利坚之河口
Big pill(pillaging), stuck going down
愿掠夺伤痛,不再延续...
注释:参照网络信息,歌曲主要描述了年少时的纯真梦想被成年后的现实取代,迷失生活的方向,不断寻找。最终来变得麻木,不问世事,任由世间的丑恶,腐败盛行,如同家猫一样。美好的圣洁之地被践踏,掠夺,不可复返。就像网上说的一样,是一首忧伤的“美国梦”的挽歌。而《Twilight暮光之城》里引用这首歌,可能更多的是表达Edward和Bella那种纯真美好,相互迷恋,患得患失之情。
因为 歌词中大都是俚语,相当于 中文的歇后语,我综合考 虑了艺术性和准确性,最后做出引申意义的 翻译。
