歌詞翻譯| Arctic Monkeys – Fluorescent Adolescent 螢光少年| 青春去了哪裡?

準備好後就來聽聽這首股癌推薦的
Fluorescent Adolescent 螢光少年
由 Arctic Monkeys 北極潑猴 於2007年發行

把性感的漁網衣收進衣櫃
晚上只想穿著睡衣、在家耍廢

過去總渾身帶勁的男孩
如今青春小鳥一去不復返

是麥克筆還是鉛筆?
曾經那麼美好的回憶，無與倫比

中英歌詞翻譯/旁白

You used to get it in your fishnets
以前你時常套著漁網衣
(年輕時晚上會穿較為大膽的衣服出門玩)

Now you only get it in your night dress
現在你只願換上睡衣

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
為求穩定，將所有調皮的夜晚捨棄
(niceness 講究、安穩、端莊)

Landed in a very common crisis
步入一場平凡至極的危機

Everything's in order in a black hole
黑洞裡的一切皆井然有序

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
但已不如以往美麗

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco
少了塔巴斯科辣醬的血腥瑪莉
(少了點刺激)

Remember when you used to be a rascal?
還記得你也曾是個小淘氣?
(rascal 調皮、頑皮的人)

Oh, the boy's a slag
噢，那男孩真行

這裡的渣很正向，表示男孩某方面很行-//-)

Remember when the boys were all electric?
還記得那些男孩曾各個充滿幹勁?
(electric 很電動、很帶感的、像勁量電磁)

Now when she's told she's gonna get it
而現在，當別人告訴她就快要到時
(當男的誇下海口要讓女孩到時)

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it

Clinging till I'm getting sentimental
相依偎直到我也開始有了情緒
(sentimental 多愁善感、情緒豐沛)

Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

文末小記

主唱Alex Turner在MTV的訪問中
表示自己非常喜歡這部MV

但小丑與平凡人之間的鬥爭
加上爆炸毀滅式的結局
對我來說還是太暴力了點(汗)

☀️ 要不要也聽聽?

Arctic Monkeys 北極潑猴 – R U Mine?
過了今晚你還會是我的嗎?

Nicky Youre – Good Times Go 美好時光總會結束
那就及時行樂吧!
