At Seventeen - Twiggy
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I learned the truth at seventeen
十七岁时,我明白了真相
That love was meant for beauty queens
爱情只属于那些美丽的少女
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
和那些笑容纯净的高中女生
Who married young and then retired
她们早早结婚,然后隐退
The valentines I never knew
那些我从未知晓的情人节
The Friday night charades of youth
青春期的周五夜晚的嬉戏
Were spent on one more beautiful
都献给了更美丽的人
At seventeen I learned the truth
十七岁时,我明白了真相
And those of us with ravaged faces
而我们这些面容憔悴的人
Lacking in the social graces
在社交礼仪中显得格格不入
Desperately remained at home
只能绝望地留在家中
Inventing lovers on the phone
虚构电话中的恋人
Who called to say - Come dance with me
他们打来电话说——来和我跳舞吧
And murmured vague obscenities
并低声说着含糊的暧昧话语
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
十七岁时,一切并不像表面那样美好
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
一个穿着旧衣服的棕色眼睛女孩
Whose name I never could pronounce
她的名字我始终无法念出
Said - Pity please the ones who serve
她说——请怜悯那些服务他人的人
They only get what they deserve
他们只会得到应得的东西
The rich relationed hometown queen
那个富有的家乡女王
Marries into what she needs
嫁给了她所需的一切
With a guarantee of company
伴随着陪伴的承诺
And haven for the elderly
以及老年的庇护所
Remember those who win the game
记得那些赢得比赛的人
Lose the love they sought to gain
却失去了他们渴望的爱情
In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
在品质的债券和可疑的诚信中
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
他们小镇的眼睛会惊讶地盯着你
In dull surprise when payment due
当到期付款时,他们只会迟钝地惊讶
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
在十七岁时,收到的账单超出了预期
To those of us who knew the pain
对于我们这些经历过痛苦的人
Of valentines that never came
那些从未到来的情人节
And those whose names were never called
那些名字从未被提起的人
When choosing sides for basketball
在篮球选队时被忽视
It was long ago and far away
那是很久以前,遥远的地方
The world was younger than today
那时的世界比今天年轻
And dreams were all they gave for free
梦想是他们唯一免费给予的东西
To ugly duckling girls like me
给予像我这样的丑小鸭女孩
We all play the game and when we dare
我们都参与这场游戏,当我们敢于
To cheat ourselves at solitaire

Inventing lovers on the phone
虚构电话中的恋人
Repenting other lives unknown

That call and say - Come dance with me
他们打电话说——来和我跳舞吧
And murmur vague obscenities
并低声含糊地说着暧昧的话
At ugly girls like me at seventeen
