这首歌的意境好难翻,但是它的MV版本多少表达了他想涉指的现象
烂烂的翻译如下:
好久以前,一个学妹要组团,邀我当Vocal唱这首歌
当时我还问她,Radiohead? 你要我唱Creep吗
结果不是,反倒是我最喜欢的这首,假塑胶树
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth.
在这假造的塑胶地球
她用那绿色的塑胶浇水桶
浇着那中国制的橡胶盆栽
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.
那假盆栽是她跟一个橡胶人买的
在那橡胶作成的小镇,镇民都充满改造为一切人工的欲望
这令她精疲力尽,精疲力尽
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out, it wears him out.
It wears him out, it wears . . .
跟她同住的是个破产的人
一个破烂的聚苯乙烯男
最後终於崩溃并烧的烂烂
他曾爲80年代的女孩从事整形
但是最後这些努力都敌不过地心引力
这一切使他终於崩溃,终於崩溃.....
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love.
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out, it wears me out.
It wears me out, it wears me out.
她看来就跟真人一样
嚐起来也跟真人没差
啊,我那人工的塑胶恋情啊
但我不禁想着
若我可以毁掉天花板
我将一去不回头
而这一切让我心力交瘁,让我心力交瘁.......
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.Oh, oh.
若我真能成为你心仪的对象
成为你梦想的形象
直到世界末日,直到世界末日......................
