听歌学英语：Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

Kelly Clarkson感人肺腑的浓郁唱腔使这首歌从一开始就牵动着听者的心灵。即使不知道歌词的人，也能因为这首歌凄婉的曲调而扼腕感伤，听到一个女子掩藏在坚强外表下的忧愁和委屈。由于歌曲速度偏慢，而且歌词中的词汇难度并不是很高，所以十分容易上手。



中英歌词：



I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery 1

I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far

我不会重蹈你的覆辙

也不会让自己的心品尝苦涩

更不会像你一样崩溃一样堕落

我知道痛苦的滋味

所以绝不会轻易去体会

Because of you

I never stray 2 too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

因为你

我从不敢偏离人生的轨道

因为你

我学会用封闭内心来保护自己

因为你

我不仅难以相信自己

连周围的人我都怀疑

因为你

我如此畏惧

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake 3 a smile, a laugh everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

我感到迷茫

就在你发现前那一刻

我却不能哭泣

因为在你眼中这就是脆弱

每一天 我都要伪装自己 强颜欢笑

我的心不可能再破碎了

因为它从来没有完整过

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

因为你

我从不敢偏离人生的轨道

因为你

我学会用封闭内心来保护自己

因为你

我不仅难以相信自己

连周围的人我都怀疑

因为你

我如此畏惧

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn 4 thing

我目睹你日渐憔悴的容颜

我听见你呜咽着彻夜难眠

我当时还小

你本该知道你不能依赖我

你从来不在乎别人

只能看见自己的痛苦

而现在我也同样地在夜晚哭泣

只因为你的悲剧在我身上重演

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you

I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you

I am afraid

因为你

我从不敢偏离人生的轨道

因为你

我学会用封闭内心来保护自己

因为你

我竭尽全力只想把过去的一切都忘记

因为你

我不知如何敞开心扉让别人驻进

因为你

我为我空虚的生活感到羞愧

因为你

我如此畏惧

Because of you

Because of you

因为你

只因为你

to play on the safe side: 呆在安全的地方玩耍，它所要表达的意思就是“采取一些（不必要的）措施来避免遇到可能出现的问题”，有些过度自我保护的含义，所以歌词中意译成了“封闭自己”。
