The Weeknd- Snowchild 歌詞翻譯

Snowchild

癮君子

「after hours」的圖片搜尋結果

恭喜The Weeknd久違四年帶著新專回歸！這次帶著前期的曲風回歸啦！

Snowchild之所以翻譯成癮君子，是因爲Snow在英文俚語指Cocaine，這裏暗示Abel過往充滿Substances的生活。Snowchild是一首有強列色彩的自傳曲，而且充滿了押韻的references，是十四首歌裏最難翻譯的一個啊。這裏我比較強調表達意思，所以不會使用直譯，同時也寫了附錄解釋，對Abel的背景不太熟識的，不妨去看看哦！

附錄解釋：

[1] 這裏有明顯的自殺描述，但筆者不想直譯自殺細節。而Abel在下一段解釋他是以隨之而來的痛苦作爲追夢的動力。

[2] 這裏是吸毒的描述。

[3] Hoffa是一個美國著名失蹤案的事主。

[4] Abel的前度是Bella Hadid，一個經常在封面出現的超級模特。

[5] 這裏呼應著Abel前期Album——Trilogy裏的The Morning，在那首歌，Abel寫自己爲了明星夢而毅然離開故鄉。但現在他已經厭倦了名利，所以要離開進入The Night。附上The Morning的Youtube鏈接： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TAko3RH0bk
