对歌曲Love you like the movies歌词的解析?

《Love you like the movies》,旋律很好听,歌词梗也很多,涉及到很多电影的情节和人名,所以很符合本公众号的主题——听歌看剧学英语,被我挑来作为开篇。

Love You Like The Movies

-Anthem Lights

~~

Friday night, date night

I say "Pick out what you like."

I don't care as long as you're here.

Surprise, surprise.

Ain't that nice.

Same old chick flick,

Eighteenth time.

You know the one with that guy.

Half way through,

look at you

Smiling like you always do

And I can't help but just stare

'Cause suddenly,

it hits me

As I watch you make believe

I want to make this your reality

And if you'll be my leading lady,

Even though I may look crazy

(主歌部分理解起来比较简单,大意就是请妹子去看电影,妹子一如既往挑了一部浪漫喜剧片,“我”突然想要让电影里浪漫的情节在“我们”身上变成现实)

~~

I'll grab your hand,

ask you to dance

In the middle of the street

(这句话来自于2004年的电影恋恋笔记本《The Notebook》,故事主人公诺亚和艾丽在马路中间跳舞的片段)

Learn to sign,

cheesy lines

Like "Baby,

you complete me."

(这句话出自阿汤哥主演的电影甜心先生《Jerry Maguire》,阿汤哥给人的印象大多还是碟中谍里的特供形象,柔情起来也是不得了~)

And in case you forget

Where we've been

and what we did

I'll write it all down,

read it out loud

Again and again.

(这段歌词有人说是《初恋五十次(Fifty First Dates)》的情节,韩国电影《我脑中的橡皮擦》也在设定上与之异曲同工,但我更偏向于是《恋恋笔记本》里,男主角在给女主角讲他们相识的故事的场景)

I promise if you let me

I'll love you like the movies.

Now I've never been

One of them

Guys who could be leading men

Just never seemed all that real.

"Well you're like 5-6."

"So was Tom Cruise." "True." (阿汤哥被黑。。。)

But here right now

With you somehow

The kind of love they write about

Is the kind of love

that I'm starting to feel

(作为一个平凡人,很少有人可以拥有爱情片中男主角的魅力,但电影里的桥段,正是来自于这一段段普通人的爱情。真实的故事总是比电影精彩,爱情也是如此)

I'll grab your hand,

ask you to dance

In the middle of the street

Learn to sign, cheesy lines

Like "Baby, you complete me."

And in case you forget

Where we've been

and what we did

I'll write it all down,

read it out loud

Again and again.

I promise if you let me

I'll love you like the movies.

I'll never let go, Jack.

I'll never let go.

(这一段太出名了,《泰坦尼克号》中Jack和Rose永别的桥段,赚到了多少人的眼泪)

If you're a bird,

I'm a bird.

(此句依然是出自《恋恋笔记本》中的台词)

You had me at hello.

(这句话的意思字面上理解,就是你从打招呼的时候起就拥有我了,即我对你是一见钟情。这句话出自电影《甜心先生》中女主角的深情表白)

Like Noah loved Allie

(还是《恋恋笔记本》,Noah和Allie是《恋恋笔记本》的男女主角)

Like Harry loved Sally

(来自电影《当哈利碰上莎莉(When Harry Met Sally)》这部1989年上映的老电影现在看来依旧很感动,特别是餐桌上假装高潮那段令人印象深刻哈哈)

Like Richard loved Julia

"Twice!"

(这句很有意思,这里说的Richard和Julia并不是电影里的角色,而是男演员理查·基尔(Richard Gere)和女演员朱莉娅·罗伯茨(Julia Roberts)。两位演员在两部电影里饰演过情侣,分别为《漂亮女人(Pretty Woman)》和《落跑新娘(Runaway Bride)》,所以这里加了一个"Twice!")

Like Tom loved Meg

(这一句来自电影《电子情书(You've Got Mail)》,男女一号分别是汤姆•汉克斯(Tom Hanks)和梅格•瑞安(Meg Ryan),这里也用演员的名字,我怀疑是不是写歌的时候忘了男女主角的名字了)

And the way he loved that volleyball

"WILSON!"

(这句话也很有意思,这句话的出处是电影《荒岛余生(Cast Away)》,也是汤姆•汉克斯主演,一个类似于鲁宾逊漂流记的故事。电影中男主依靠排球作信念,把它取名叫Wilson,恩……也算爱吧)

The way Demi Moore loved that ghost.

"Weird."

(Demi Moore是经典电影《人鬼情未了(Ghost)》的女主人公,"that ghost"自然就指的是男主人公啦)

The way Jack loved Rose

"What?"

I'll never let it go, never let it go

Never let it go!

I'll never let go!

"Dude, you alright?""I think so."

(Jack and Rose,起高了~~)

~~~

Uh, if you'll be my leading lady

"It just seemed like ithurt."

Even though I may look crazy

"It did a little."

"Key change?"

"Nah, I don't want to."

"I feel like we should do a keychan" "Okay."

~~~

I'll grab your hand,

ask you to dance

In the middle of the street

Learn to sign, cheesy lines

Like "Baby, you complete me."

And in case you forget

Where we've been

and what we did

I'll write it all down,

read it out loud

Again and again.

~~~

Close your eyes,

arms out wide

"I'm the king of the world."

(《泰坦尼克号》中Jack站在船头的情节中喊出的话)

arpet ride,

starry nights

(Carpet ride字面意思就是骑着毯子,这句歌词指的是《阿拉丁(Aladdin)》里主人公骑魔毯的情节)

There's no way I don't kiss the girl

And in case you forget

Where we've been

and what we did

I'll write it all down,

read it out loud

Again and again.

I promise if you let me

"Here's looking at you kid."

"Frankly my dear,"

I'll love you like the movies.

最后两句台词分别来自非常经典的老电影《卡萨布兰卡(Casablanca)》(1942)和《乱世佳人(Gone with the Wind)》(1939)。

《卡萨布兰卡中》,"Here's looking at you kid"这句台词一共出现了四次,这句英文很难直译成对应的中文,有些地方将其翻译为永志不忘,有的翻译为让我看看你,其中饱含的情愫,只有观影者自己慢慢体会

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn",这句话是《乱世佳人》的最后商人Rhett对女主Scarlett说的最后一句话,此时Scarlett终于明白自己对Rhett的爱,而后者却心灰意冷得决定离开。

歌词都分析到这啦,歌词写得很有意思,歌曲也很好听,B站上有人将很多电影的片段配上这首歌剪成了一个MV,大家感兴趣可以去看看。
