[歌詞翻譯]Lana Del Rey - Shades of cool中文歌詞－大倪口袋筆記

大倪已經瘋狂迷上Lana Del Rey好一陣子了，喜歡她蒼桑卻優雅的嗓音，喜歡他復古且終於自我的裝扮，和充滿哲理、充滿一切痛苦、救贖的歌詞，喜歡她這種shoe gazing的曲風，從以前到現在專輯風格越來越自溺、越黑暗，但不變的是帶有邊緣特質的歌詞曲風和飄呼卻強勁的美聲。大倪從Born to die專輯到這張Ultraviolance幾乎每首歌都能不用看歌詞跟著唱，就知道我有多愛她了，而唱英文歌真的是一種很好學習語文的方式，但當然要聽自己喜歡的歌手，學起來會更快的！

這裡來看看其中ㄧ首歌的歌詞：Lana del Rey-Ultraviolence-Shades of cool

聽歌請按這：Lana Del Rey - Shades of cool

1 My baby lives in shades of blue

2 Blue eyes and jazz and attitude

3 He lives in California too

4 He drives a Chevy Malibu

1(shade本身有蔭的意思，blue在英文裡常代表憂鬱)

2(形容眼睛請用eyes記得加s，attitude態度、姿態，常常聽到老師說bad attitude！就是態度很差的意思，另外一個很像的單字aptitude為天賦、性向的意思，像是aptitude test為性向測驗)

3(California加州，lana del rey很喜歡海，加州靠海，且每次想到加州就有開著古董肌肉車奔馳的感覺，很符合這隻MV)

4(為Chevrolet Malibu的縮寫，為1960年代雪佛蘭的一種經典車款，當時在北美很紅，大概就是長這樣，Lana非常愛國，常使用美國品牌或經典流行入歌)

這四句歌詞很簡單，藍色部分為he/she/it＋動詞s，文法其實多看文章就可以了不要硬背

5 And when he calls

6 He calls for me and not for you

7 He lives for love, he loves his drugs

8 He loves his baby too

6(打給我而不是你，這裡有想起、陪伴的意思)

7(live for的意思是為..而活，像是I live for myself是我位自己而活的意思、I live for my children我為了我的小孩而活)

8(too為"也是"的意思，用在肯定句，否定句的"也"用either，像是：

too-Mike loves you, David too

either-Mike doesn't love you, David doesn't either.)

9 But I can't fix him, can't make him better

10 And I can't do nothing about this strange weather

9(fix在這裡有改變或幫助的意思，fix有非常多用法，可以看看，最常用的就是"修理"，這個單字用法很多也很重要，在影集裡面會常看到，以前考試也常考)

9(Make someone better有Improve的意思，使誰變得更好，或好起來，這裡有回歸正道的意思)

10(do nothing about對..無能為力的意思，影集常出現的對白： I am afraid there 's nothing I can do about it)

10(weather為天氣，有時也可只人的心情，常常跟whether搞混，whether是抑或的意思，爸媽最愛說：whether you like it or not不管你喜歡或不喜歡)

11 But you are invincible

12 I can't break through your world

13 'Cause you live in shades of cool

14 Your heart is unbreakable

11(invincible在這裡當成很強的信念或意志，更常的用法形容無敵的，像是invincible army無敵的軍隊)

12(break through這裡為突破心防的意思，常見的用法還有CSI裡探員常常：Break through the door破門而入)

13('cause跟because其實是一樣的，為縮寫，歌詞裡常因為節奏或流暢度而將because縮寫成'cause，也是較為口語化的用法)

13(cool這裡為冷漠，冷淡的意思，並不是真的很冷或很酷)

14(breakable的意思是易碎的，但加上un為反易，就是堅不可摧的意思，加上un會有反意，像是unarmed非武裝的，unbelievable難以置信的，unconcern漫不經心的等，超多形容詞加上un就會變反意，所以下次看到un開頭的形容詞可以試著推測看看)

15 My baby lives in shades of cool

16 Blue heart and hands and aptitude

17 He lives for love, for women, too

18 I'm one of many bonnies blue

15(跟開頭一樣的句型，live in 住在：I live in Taipei.我住在台北)

16(前面解釋過此單字：She shows her aptitude for music，她展現音樂才能)

18(one of many為其中之一：I might be one of many his lovers.我大概是他眾多愛人之一)

18(bonny或bonnies可解釋為美麗健康的，這裡的bonnies blue應為美麗的藍眼女孩)

19 And when he calls

20 He calls for me and not for you

21 He prays for love, he prays for peace

22 And maybe someone new

21(pray for祈禱，日本大地震時常聽到報導：Pray for Japan為日本禱告，pray比較有宗教的意味，像是Pray for the souls of the departed.為死者祈禱)

22(someone new新的人，something new新的事：learn about something new!學習新事物)

23 But I can't help him, can't make him better

24 And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

25 'Cause you are invincible

26 I can't break through your world

27 'Cause you live in shades of cool

28 Your heart is unbreakable

29 You're hot, hot, weather in the summer

30 High, high, neglectful lover

31 Hot, hot, weather in the summer

32 High, neglectful lover

29(歌詞常常沒有按照文法走，這裡為you are hot like weather in summer，你像夏日一樣火辣熱情、she's so hot!她也太辣了吧！)

30(neglectful表示疏忽的=careless，通常後面接of：neglectful of your duty.失責。另一個長很像的單字為negligible表示不足取的微不足道的：the effect is negligible. 成效微不足道)

31 You're crumbling, sadly

32 I'm sorry

33 You're gone with me

31(crumble崩壞的，通常形容岩石：crumble away into dust.也可形容幻想破滅、房屋崩毀等，這裡形容人搖搖欲墜、崩毀的：I felt I was crumbling at that time.我當時感到不能自持)

33(你對我來說已成過去)

34 You are invincible

35 I can't break through your world

36 'Cause you live in shades of cool

37 Your heart is unbreakable
