情態副詞

You've probably heard about this and fans have feared that this would happen for a while.

你可能聽說過這件事，粉絲們擔心這種情況會發生已經有一段時間了。

I'm a big Gura fan, I have been since she started and my first vtuber video was actually about Gura way back in September of 2020, so you know I've been a fan for a long time.

我是古拉的忠實粉絲，從她出道開始我就是她的粉絲，我的第一個 vtuber 視頻其實是關於古拉的，那是在 2020 年 9 月，所以你知道我是她的粉絲已經很久了。

She also released a new song called Ash Again.

她還發布了一首名為《Ash Again》的新歌。

I was into the song and it moved me enough to want to make a video looking at the lyrics and presenting some ideas behind what they could represent for Gura and what she's trying to convey to her audience through this song.

我很喜歡這首歌，它打動了我，讓我想製作一個視頻，看看歌詞的內容，並介紹一下歌詞背後的一些想法，以及古拉想通過這首歌傳達給聽眾的東西。

Ash Again has vocals from Gura and music and lyrics written and produced by Casey Edwards.

Ash Again》由古拉主唱，凱西-愛德華茲作曲和作詞。

Casey Edwards is a producer who worked on huge mainstream projects such as Final Space, Mortal Kombat 1 and Devil May Cry 5.

凱西-愛德華茲是一位製作人，曾參與過《最終空間》、《真人快打 1》和《鬼泣 5》等大型主流項目。

I imagine this is where Gura knows him from because she's played Devil May Cry on stream before and is a big fan.

我想這就是古拉認識他的地方，因為她以前在流媒體上玩過《鬼泣》，是他的忠實粉絲。

The song starts off with a cinematic build up followed by the first verse.

歌曲一開始就營造出一種電影般的氛圍，隨後是第一段歌詞。

Face to face with time again, we walk once more to the end.

再次與時間面對面，我們再次走向終點。

These lyrics seem to be hinting that Gura's lack of time left as a whole life vtuber.

這些歌詞似乎在暗示，古拉作為一個終身 vtuber 的時間不多了。

She's face to face with the end of this period of her life.

Then there's the refrain, burn it down, burn it down, which is repeated throughout the song.

然後是 "燒掉它，燒掉它 "的反問句，整首歌曲都在重複這句話。

Gura is metaphorically burning down everything that she's been working towards by leaving Coral Live.

古拉離開珊瑚直播間，是在隱喻她所努力的一切都付之一炬。

Waves can't put out my flame, death will never write my name.

海浪無法撲滅我的火焰，死亡永遠不會寫下我的名字。

Her career may be ending, not really per say but she's moving in a new direction, but she will be remembered by so many people because she's made such an impact that she'll never truly die.

她的職業生涯可能會結束，但並不是真的結束，而是朝著新的方向發展，但她會被很多人銘記，因為她產生了如此大的影響，她永遠不會真正死去。

They say the memory of me is fading, I've heard it all before, don't tell me everyone around is waiting.

他們說關於我的記憶正在褪色，我已經聽過了，不要告訴我周圍的人都在等待。

This represents to me the memory fading due to her inactivity on her channel over the years and the fans waiting around for her to return.

在我看來，這代表著多年來她在自己頻道上的不活躍以及粉絲們對她迴歸的等待，讓她的記憶逐漸模糊。

She's obviously taken a few long breaks throughout the lifetime of her channel.

顯然，她在頻道的整個生命週期中休息了很長時間。

Each time this has led to a lot of speculation, discussion and rumours, but she's heard it all before, she knows what the people are going to say.

每次這都會引起很多猜測、討論和謠言，但她以前都聽說過，她知道人們會說什麼。

Next is the chorus, which shows even more of the meaning of the song.

接下來是副歌部分，更能體現歌曲的內涵。

And they all say, tear it down, burn it down, and they'll all pay, when I tear it down, burn it down.

他們都說，拆了它，燒了它，等我拆了它，燒了它，他們都會付出代價。

The people who have speculated, spread rumours and made demands will pay by Gura tearing it down, stepping away from Hololive as a company.

那些投機取巧、散佈謠言和提出要求的人將會付出代價，那就是 Gura 拆毀它，退出 Hololive 公司。

When the world falls through and all is ash again, while you all pretend, if this is the end, I'll do it again.

當世界崩塌，一切重歸灰燼，而你們都在假裝，如果這就是結局，我會再做一次。

If you know about what Gura was up to before her time in Hololive, you'll know that this is not the first time that she's become wildly popular and then stepped away, metaphorically returning to ash.

如果你瞭解古拉在加入 Hololive 之前的經歷，你就會知道這並不是她第一次大紅大紫，然後隱喻著灰飛煙滅。

She's heard the criticisms before because this is not her first time doing something like this.

她以前就聽到過這樣的責備，因為這不是她第一次做這樣的事情。

Voices rise in my head, the hands that pull up my thread, let them down, burn it down.

聲音在我腦海中升起，那雙手拉起我的線，讓它們垂下，燒燬它。

The voices could either refer to her own internal voices of doubt or her internal stress, or they could be talking about external voices who are criticising her that she's internalised over the years.

這些聲音可能是指她自己內心的質疑聲或內心的壓力，也可能是指她多年來內化的責備她的外部聲音。

She's letting these voices down by not doing what they want.

她沒有按照這些聲音的要求去做，讓他們失望了。

Wait for wash in the tide, in the abyss is where I will hide, let them drown, burn it down.

在潮水中等待沖刷，在深淵中我將藏身，讓他們淹沒，燒燬它。

In her lore, Gura comes from the deep sea, so she's going to return where she came and wait for this to all blow over or wash away in the tide.

在她的傳說中，古拉來自深海，所以她會回到她來的地方，等待這一切被潮水沖走。

The song's bridge contains some of the most meaningful lyrics of the whole song.

這首歌的橋段包含了整首歌中最有意義的歌詞。

We swim against the current's aim, in dark we change as smoke returns to rain, navigating sunken depths and all of its debris, and no more hands upon my words, they only speak for me.

我們逆流而上，在黑暗中，我們隨著煙雨歸來而改變，在沉沒的深淵及其所有碎片中航行，不再用手觸摸我的話語，它們只為我而說話。

We swim against the current's aim, she's taking her own path and doing what's right for her, rather than continuing the current path that she was previously on, even if it will make people happy.

我們逆水行舟，不進則退，她要走自己的路，做適合自己的事，而不是繼續走以前的路，哪怕這樣做會讓別人高興。

She's also mentioned in her announcement stream that she was leaving Hololive because of disagreements with management and not liking the current direction.

她還在公告流中提到，她離開 Hololive 是因為與管理層存在分歧，不喜歡當前的發展方向。

And no more hands upon my words, they only speak for me.

不要再用手碰我的話，它們只代表我。

This could represent the hands of the people twisting what Gura is saying to push their own agendas.

這可能是某些人在歪曲古拉的話，以達到自己的目的。

This includes people who clip what she says out of context to mislead viewers.

這包括那些斷章取義、誤導觀眾的人。

The no more hands could also represent the corporate hands of Hololive.

沒有更多的手也可以代表 Hololive 公司的手。

As she was the most popular member, whenever she spoke she had to think not only of how this would affect her, but how this would affect the company that she was suddenly the face of.

由於她是最受歡迎的成員，每次發言時，她不僅要考慮這對自己會有什麼影響，還要考慮這對她突然成為代言人的公司會有什麼影響。

When she's left the company, she can finally be free of this burden.

離開公司後，她終於可以卸下這個包袱了。

Her hands will really only speak for herself.

She also won't have anyone telling her to say certain things or to not say certain things.

也不會有人告訴她說某些話或不說某些話。

For all the ones who try to silence thunder, I am the wave that pulls you down and under.

對於所有試圖壓制雷聲的人來說，我就是把你們拉下水的浪花。

She'll no longer have to bite her tongue, she can say anything that she feels she had to hold back for example.

她不再需要咬舌自盡，她可以說出任何她覺得必須憋在心裡的話。

Every day I'll stand with me, and I'll fight the drought of the shallow sea.

每天和我站在一起，與淺海的乾旱抗爭。

All ships sail winds of jealousy, I'll listen carefully, let it all burn down.

所有船隻都在妒忌的風中航行，我會仔細聆聽，讓一切付之一炬。

She'll stand by herself and her own beliefs even when the sea is against her.

即使大海與她作對，她也會堅持自己和自己的信念。

Being so popular, she's had to withstand a lot of jealous people.

她如此受歡迎，不得不承受很多人的嫉妒。

People have said that she didn't earn her spot as the number one or that she doesn't deserve it.

人們說她沒有贏得第一名的位置，或者說她不配。

She might have listened and let this go to her head, which could lead to low self-esteem, but now she'll burn that down.

她可能會聽之任之，從而導致自卑，但現在她會把自卑感燒掉。

One impression that I got from Gura is that she wanted more freedom.

古拉給我的一個印象是，她想要更多的自由。

She didn't ask to become so wildly popular so quickly.

她並沒有要求自己這麼快就變得如此受歡迎。

In some ways, she's overshadowed some of her contemporaries.

在某些方面，她的光芒蓋過了同時代的一些人。

She's always the one that people are compared to.

人們總是把她和別人相提並論。

I don't think that she wanted this to happen and I do believe that she'd have enjoyed her time more had it not happened.

我不認為她希望發生這樣的事情，而且我相信，如果沒有發生這樣的事情，她會更加享受她的時光。

There have been forces, both internal and external, that have been waging a war within her head.

在她的腦海中，一直有內外兩種力量在交戰。

She struggles with identity and inner struggles that have led her to things like long breaks and sometimes less than happy posts.

她在身份認同和內心掙扎中掙扎，這導致她不得不長時間休息，有時還發表一些不那麼開心的文章。

However, despite this, she refuses to be forgotten.

然而，儘管如此，她還是拒絕被遺忘。

She refuses to be defined by others, but by herself and her own metrics of happiness and success.

她拒絕由他人來定義自己，而是由自己以及自己的幸福和成功標準來定義自己。

These are just my interpretations of course.

I'd be very interested to see what you guys have gotten from the song.

我很想知道你們從這首歌中得到了什麼。

I feel like there are multiple interpretations that people could pick up from the lyrics and I'm only one guy who doesn't have all the answers.

我覺得人們可以從歌詞中找到多種解釋，而我只是一個不知道所有答案的人。
