中英歌词
"The
Rules of the
Market"(市场规则)，一首比较好听的慢摇歌曲。收藏在我的音乐文件夹中有好几个年头了，今天终于选择把它播放出来。这里是为你带来轻松英乐的《听歌学英语》栏目，我是Canace凯娜丝，新浪微博是@DJ_Canace洁瑜。各位还好吗？这首歌曲来自于Ginger
Ale，字面翻译呢就是n.姜汁无酒精饮料，关于歌手的资料没有找到太多，这首歌曲流传度似乎也一般。个人觉得这首歌节奏很好听，不知道你们是不是也会这样觉得呢？一起来听"The
Rules of the Market"。
"we like your music" he said
我们喜欢你的音乐，他说
"and we're gonna make a star of you
我们会成为像你一样的明星
of course we know you can sing and play
当然我们知道你会唱歌和表演
but you dress like an undertaker, that's for sure
但是你打扮得像承办人，确实如此
we thought you'd look better with a mini skirt on
我们认为你穿上短裙会更好看
and maybe a pink bra, or maybe a black one"
也许再加上一件粉红色的内衣，或者黑色的
is this a nightmare? I thought, when do I wake up?
这是噩梦吗？我想，我什么时候可以醒来
I don't care I don't care what you want me to be
我不在乎你想要我变成什么样
I am me, I am me, I am no pawn in your game you see
我就是我，我就是我，我不是你游戏里的兵卒
you don't seem to understand my play -
你似乎不懂得我的表演
there's no way for me to be another product for sale
我不可能是另一件待售的产品
"and I suppose you know the rules of the market
我想你知道市场规则
people want to understand what the lyrics are about
人们想了解歌词的含义
and of course it'd be a great artistic challenge
当然这有点艺术挑战力
so would you please try and use your mother tongue somehow"
你愿意试一试，用上你的方言吗
I can swear like the French, I thought,
我想，它就像法语一样
but instead left them with their vile business chat
然而其实只是卑鄙的商业语言
I don't care, I don't care, ....
我不在乎，不在乎
