Taylor Swift憑借《Mean》完全否決了質(zhì)疑者

《Mean》是一首由美國(guó)新生代鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特演唱的勵(lì)志小民謠，收錄自她的第三張專(zhuān)輯《Speak Now》(愛(ài)的告白，2010)。這首歌由Taylor編寫(xiě)，內(nèi)森·查普曼負(fù)責(zé)制作。《Mean》囊括歌詞的抒情細(xì)節(jié)和深厚的鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)聲音，并從音樂(lè)評(píng)論家那兒得到了正面的評(píng)價(jià)。 這首歌于2011年3月13日被送往美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)廣播電臺(tái)播放，并作為第三單于同日發(fā)布。

《Mean》被認(rèn)作將矛頭直指那些批評(píng)她在格萊美獎(jiǎng)上演出失水準(zhǔn)的評(píng)論者。她在歌詞中如是寫(xiě)道：“你們醉醺醺的指責(zé)我不會(huì)演唱/ 但是你們對(duì)于生活只有苛刻/你們是一些說(shuō)謊者/可憐兮兮而孤獨(dú)一生。”

泰勒憑借此曲第一次在鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)協(xié)會(huì)獎(jiǎng)以及2011年4月3日的第46屆奧斯卡大獎(jiǎng)上演出。在第54屆格萊美獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)典禮上，歌曲贏得了最佳鄉(xiāng)村歌曲和最佳鄉(xiāng)村獨(dú)唱兩項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。

這首歌的歌詞完全否決了那些質(zhì)疑泰勒·斯威夫特唱功的荒謬評(píng)論。

《Mean》中英雙語(yǔ)歌詞：

You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me

你，用你刀鋒般的話語(yǔ)刺得我遍體鱗傷

You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothing

你，一次次將我打倒，讓我感覺(jué)自己一無(wú)是處

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board calling me out when I’m wounded

You, picking on the weaker man.

With that same big, loud opinion but nobody’s listening

粗聲大氣喋喋不休卻無(wú)人在你的四周聆聽(tīng)

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

于是你抹抹臉繼續(xù)咆哮著你老生常談的刻薄演說(shuō)

Drunk and rumbling on about how I can’t sing.

but all you are is mean

但是……如今你剩下的只是刻薄

All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life,

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

和刻薄，刻薄，刻薄……

But some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Some day, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, why you gotta be so mean?

Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Some day, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, why you gotta be so mean?
