Bad day 糟糕的一天
不知多少人一天的生活是从闹钟开始的？对于这支曲子，很多人更喜欢它的MTV，所以，今天的点评也先从MTV最初那段先声夺人的“闹钟”开始——尽管，整部MTV之所以叫座，是因为它的故事与几米漫画里的《向左走向右走》颇有异曲同工之处……
Lyrics
Bad day by Daniel Powter
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue sky's fade to gray
You tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole things it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time？
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Words and phrases
1. Where is the moment when we need it the most：依据上下文，这里的it应与bad day（糟糕的一天；坏运气）相对应，指代“好运气”。
2. And I don't need no carryin' on=And I don't need to carry on（我不必再去坚持）
在歌曲Don't worry, be happy里，我们曾见过类似的表达，即“双重否定依然表否定”。
3. hit a new low：be out of luck; be in a (melancholy) mood（处于低谷；运气不佳；心情很糟；即我们说的“霉运来了”）
4. off line: off course, on the wrong track（偏离正确的航线或轨道，这里指生活没有条理，背离常轨）
5. fall to pieces : 原指“东西破碎”，这里形容“失败”或“遭受重挫”。
6. on the blink ：out of working order（失调，不能正常工作）
7. work at a smile：“强挤出一丝微笑”， 形容笑得很艰难。
8. go for a ride: 可以理解为“乘公车去上班”，也可以理解为“开车去兜风”。依据这首歌的MTV和整首歌的意境，前者更贴切一点。
中文歌词
糟糕的一天 丹尼尔·波特
我们最需要好运的时候它在哪里
你踢起地上的落叶 魔法消失了
你告诉我你蔚蓝的天空渐已灰暗
你告诉我你心中的热情也已冷淡
而我不必再去坚持
站在情绪低谷的边缘
你强装微笑 品着咖啡
你告诉我你的生活已背离常轨
你每一次都会摔得粉碎
而我不必再去坚持
因为你这一天很糟糕
情绪才会低落
唱首悲伤的歌 很快就会雨过天晴
你说你茫然不知所措
你告诉我不要说谎
你挤出一个微笑然后去上班
你这一天很糟糕
相机不会说谎
但你会恢复过来 你也不会真的在乎
你这一天很糟糕
你这一天很糟糕
你需要一个阳光明媚的假日
可他们却嘲笑这种说法
而我不必再去坚持
你这一天很糟糕
情绪也很低落
唱首悲伤的歌 很快就会雨过天晴
你说你茫然不知所措
你告诉我别说谎
你挤出一个微笑然后去上班
你这一天很糟糕
相机不会说谎
但你会恢复过来 你也不会真的在乎
你这一天很糟糕
你这一天很糟糕
有时候系统也会失控
一切都变得很糟糕
你或许无法挽救但你知道
你会好好生活并依然坚强
哦 我说的没错
当你最需要激情的时候它在哪里
噢 你和我
你踢开地上的落叶 魔法消失了
因为你这一天很糟糕
情绪才会低落
唱首悲伤的歌 很快就会雨过天晴
你说你茫然不知所措
你告诉我不要说谎
你挤出一个微笑然后去上班
你这一天很糟糕
你已经看到你想要的结局
再经历一次会是什么感觉？
你这一天很糟糕
你这一天很糟糕
