She told me that her dad was loaded, I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola, she said "Fine" and in 30 seconds time she said "I want to live like common people, I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common people like you". Well what else could I do, I said, "I'll see what I can do." 她来自希腊，她渴求新知。 她在圣马丁学院主修雕塑， 我就是在那里引起她的注意。 她告诉我她老爸钱多的是。 我说：「既然如此，我要点莱姆酒加可乐。」 她说：「没问题」。三十秒後，她说： 「我想要过普通人的生活， 我想要做普通人做的事， 我想要跟普通人上床， 我想要跟像你这样的普通人上床。」 她都这麽说了，我还能怎麽样？我说：「我来想想看我能帮什麽忙。」 I took her to a supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there. I said 'Pretend you've got no money', but she just laughed and said, "Oh you're so funny", I said "Yeah. Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here." Are you sure you want to live like common people, you want to see whatever common people see, you want to sleep with common people, you want to sleep with common people like me. But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand. 我带她到超级市场， 我不知道为什麽，只是我总得找个地方开始，所以她的体验就从那里开始。 我说：「假装你一毛钱也没有。」她听了笑了出来，说： 「喔你真好笑！」我说：「是啊。可是我没有看到店里有谁在笑。」 你真的确定你想要过普通人的生活， 你想要看普通人看到的一切， 你想要跟普通人上床， 你想要跟像我这样的普通人上床？ 但是她没有听懂我的话，她只是拉着我的手直笑。 Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job. Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school. But still you'll never get it right 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all. You'll never live like common people, you'll never do whatever common people do, you'll never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw, because there's nothing else to do. 租间在商店楼上的公寓，把头发剪短去找个工作。 抽些烟，打几回弹子，假装你从来没上过学。 即使如此，你还是不可能变成普通人。因为当你晚上躺在床上，看着蟑螂一只一只爬在墙 上， 如果你打通电话给你老爸，他可以立刻终结一切。 是的，你永远也无法过普通人的生活， 你永远也无法做普通人做的那些事， 你永远不会像普通人那样经历失败。 你永远不会看着你的生活从你眼前慢慢消失， 然後去跳舞、喝酒、做爱， 因为你根本无能为力去挽回。 Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you through. Laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do, because you think that poor is cool. Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you. Look out they'll tear your insides out. 'Cos everybody hates a tourist, especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath. 跟这些普通人一起歌唱吧， 跟着一起唱也许可以体验一点他们的生活。 跟这些普通人一起笑吧， 跟着一起笑，虽然他们是在笑你，还有你的愚蠢的行为， 因为你以为贫穷很酷。 就像一只躺在角落的狗，他们会毫无预警地咬人。 小心！他们会把你咬得体无完肤。 因为大家都讨厌观光客， 特别是那种以为这一切都很可笑，还有炸薯块的油渍在浴缸里泡 一泡就可以洗掉的人。 You will never understand how it feels to live your life with no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go. You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why. 你永远不会了解过一个没有意义，没有主权，没有方向的一生是像什麽样子。 你会惊讶世上竟然有这样的人，而且他们的生命燃烧得如此闪耀，你只能在一旁百思不解 。 Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job. 租间在商店楼上的公寓，把头发剪短去找个工作 I want to live with common people like you. 我想要跟像你这样的普通人共同生活 -- I wasted all your precious time, I wasted it all on you. --
