1. 歌词品鉴

I Still Believe

You look in my eyes

And I get emotional inside

I know it's crazy but you still can touch my heart

And after all this time

You'd think that I wouldn't feel the same

But time melts into nothing

And nothing's changed

I still believe

Someday you and me will find ourselves in love again

I had a dream

Someday you and me will find ourselves in love again

Each day of my life

I'm filled with all the joy I could find

You know that I am not the desperate type

If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp

I'll hold it with both hands

It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance

No, no, no, no, no, no

I need you baby

I still believe that we can be together

Oh, oh, no, no, no

If we believe that true love never has to end

Then we must know that we will love again

I still believe

Someday you and me will find ourselves in love again

Oh, baby, yeah

I had a dream

You and me will find ourselves in love again

(I still believe)

Oh, baby, I do

(Someday you and me)

Just give me one more time and love again

(I had a dream)

I miss your love

(Someday you and me)

Will find ourselves in love again

(I still believe)

(Someday you and me)

Will find ourselves in love again

我依然相信

你注视着我

我心海荡漾

我知道,这很疯狂,你仍触动我的心扉

也许在那以后

你会认为我不再有同感

但是,时间可以冲淡一切

一切都没改变

我依然相信

有一天,你我仍彼此相爱

我有一个梦想

有一天,你我仍彼此相爱

我生命中的每一天

充满了我能找寻到的欢乐

你知道我不是那种绝望的人

如果我手中还有一丝希望的火花

我会用双手紧握

值得冒险,渴望再热恋一次

不,不,不,不,不

我需要你,我的宝贝

我仍相信我们会在一起

噢,噢,不,不,不

只要我们相信真爱永存

我们就会再次相爱

我依然相信

有一天,我们仍彼此相爱

哦,宝贝,耶

我有一个梦想

我们仍彼此相爱

(我仍然相信)

哦,亲爱的,我愿意

(有一天,你和我)

再给我一次机会,我们仍彼此相爱

(我有一个梦)

我想念你的爱

(有一天,你和我)

仍彼此相爱

(我仍然相信)

(有一天,你和我)

仍彼此相爱

词汇注解

实用宝典

① But time melts into nothing.

melt into原指“消散;消失”,这里指时光在不知不觉中消逝,因此意译为“(时间)流逝”。

② You know…desperate type; If there's…in my grasp. I'll…both hands.

type和grasp都有相同的辅音[p],运用了尾韵的修辞方法,使歌曲增加了韵律的美感。这三句歌词表达了歌者仍希望获得爱人的心,与爱人再续前缘的美好愿望。

③ It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.

It's worth sth…意为“值得(做某事)”。如:It's worth your time and effort. 这值得你花费时间和精力。

burn意为“渴望”。如:I am burning to meet her again. 我渴望再次与她相遇。该歌词表达了歌者愿意再次为爱人付出真情的愿望。

2. 文化链接

歌词You know that I am not the desperate type.中的desperate type意为“绝望的人,歇斯底里的人”。2004年一部名为《绝望的主妇》( Desperate Housewives )的美剧火遍全球,讲述的就是关于“歇斯底里性格”的家庭主妇的故事。故事背景设定在美国一个虚构的小镇,描述了四位中产阶级家庭主妇的婚后生活。
