本曲大意

这首歌叙述一个男孩子虽然失恋了,但仍假装若无其事,一点也不在乎的样子。虽然这么做可以掩饰一个失恋者的心,但偶尔还是得发泄一下。因此,当你(妳)失恋,想哭又怕有失面子时,雄哥建议,不妨立即回家躲在棉被里嚎啕大哭一场,既可发泄又不失面子。或许有读者会想知道雄哥是否有此经验──这是秘密!

英文歌词

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, pretending that Im doing well. My need is such, I pretend too much. Im lonely, but no one can tell.

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender adrift in a world of my own. I play the game, but to my real shame, youve left me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe. Too real what I feel, what my heart cant conceal. Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown. I seem to be what Im not you see. Im wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that youre still around.

中文歌词

噢,的确,我是个善于伪装的人,假装我仍若无其事的样子。我对妳的需求是如此的强烈以致于我假装过头了。我是如此的寂寞,但却无人能看出来。

噢,的确,我是个最好的伪装者,在属于我的世界里漂流着。我一直玩着伪装的游戏,但令我真正感到羞耻的是,妳竟留下我独自做我的春秋大梦。

对我而言,这种伪装的感觉太真实了。我所感觉的,也就是我内心无法隐藏的感觉实在太真实了。噢,的确,我很善于伪装,并借着扮演一个快乐小丑来嘲弄自己。如今,我好象不是妳表面上所看到的我。我把我内心的悲伤埋藏起来,让我在外表看起来就像个国王般的意气风发,假装着妳仍在我身旁。

字词句型分析

1.Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, pretending that Im doing well.

噢,的确,我很善于伪装,假装我若无其事的样子。

a.本句在暗示作者因失恋而感到痛若, 但又装着一付若无其事的样子。故本句英文可改写为:

My love has just left me; Im feeling very sad. And yet I dont want

to let her know that Im feeling sad because of her. So I pretend as

if nothing has happened. And Im very good at it.

我的爱人已离开了我, 我感到非常地悲伤。然而我不想让她知道我 是因为她才如此, 因此我假装好象什么事都没发生过。而且我对 于伪装很在行。

10.Im wearing my heart like a crown.

若本句按照字面翻译, 则为:

现在我把我的心当成皇冠戴起来。

如果心可以拿出来戴, 那岂不是要闹人命了吗?其实, 本句实等于:

Though Im feeling very bad, Im not going to let people know how bad I feel. Therefore, in appearance, I still look very happy like a king.

虽然我现在心里非常悲伤, 但我并不想让人们知道我的感受。因此, 在表面上, 我依然看起来像个国王般非常快乐。
