Wow, this is a lot of people in a tiny office, I love it.

哇，這麼小的辦公室裡有這麼多人，我喜歡。

I'm Taylor, welcome to my tiny desk concert.

我是泰勒，歡迎來到我的小書桌音樂會。

to 不定詞

You guys had anything exciting going on the last couple weeks or any possible changes in play?

你們在過去幾周裡有什麼令人興奮的事情發生，或者有什麼可能的變化嗎？

Do us a favor, give a round of applause to NPR for putting this whole thing on.

幫我們一個忙，為全國公共廣播電臺（NPR）鼓鼓掌，感謝它把這整件事播出去。

Tiny desk is like one of my favorite corners of the internet and I always love seeing like it's an opportunity for artists to decide a different way to showcase their music and so you're kind of inundated by overwhelming opportunity and choices like I just decided to kind of take this as an opportunity to show you guys how the song sounded when I first wrote them.

Tiny desk 就像是互聯網上我最喜歡的角落之一，我總是喜歡看到藝術家們有機會決定用不同的方式來展示他們的音樂，所以你會被各種機會和選擇淹沒，就像我只是決定藉此機會向你們展示我最初寫這首歌時的聲音。

So it's just me, there's no dancers, unfortunately.

不幸的是，只有我一個人，沒有舞者。

So, you know, I have this album that just came out called Lover.

我有一張剛發行的專輯，叫《情人》。

It's one of those albums where I wrote everything on one instrument first so it's really fun to pick songs to do acoustically because they all started out that way and there's a song that I had wanted to write conceptually for a very long time because over the course of my life it has occurred to me that we have a bit of a double standard issue in our society.

這張專輯中的所有歌曲都是我先用一種樂器寫出來的，所以挑選原聲歌曲真的很有趣，因為它們都是這樣開始的，其中有一首歌是我很久以來一直想寫的概念性歌曲，因為在我的生活中，我發現我們的社會中存在著一些雙重標準的問題。

It's something I've thought about about 700 million times a day for the last 10 years of my life and I was always just wondering like can I write a song about this?

在過去的 10 年裡，我每天都要想上 7 億次，我一直在想，我能寫一首關於這個問題的歌嗎？

Is there a concise and catchy way to write a song about this?

有沒有簡潔明瞭、朗朗上口的方法來寫一首關於這個問題的歌曲？

What angle would I take if I were to write a song about this?

如果我要為此寫一首歌，我會從哪個角度出發？

And so I decided the most fun thing to do would be to imagine what my life would be like and what people would say about my life if I did all the same things but if I was a man.

是以，我決定做的最有趣的事情就是想象一下，如果我做了同樣的事情，但如果我是一個男人，我的生活會是什麼樣子，人們會怎麼評價我的生活。

They say I played the field before I found someone to commit to and that would be okay for me to do.

他們說，我在找到可以託付終身的人之前就開始玩遊戲了，這樣也沒什麼不好。

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you.

我的每一次征服都會讓我更像你的上司。

我會成為一個無所畏懼的領導者。

I'd be an alpha type when everyone believes you.

當所有人都相信你的時候，我就是阿爾法型的了。

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.

我在想，如果我是男人，是否會更快到達那裡。

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again.

他們又來找我了，我真是受夠了。

Because if I was a man, then I'd be the man.

因為如果我是男人，那我就是男人。

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve.

他們不會搖頭，不會質疑我到底該得到多少。

What I was wearing, if I was rude, could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves.

我的穿著打扮，我的粗魯無禮，都可以與我的好主意和強勢舉動區分開來。

If they would toast to me, oh, let the players play.

如果他們向我敬酒，哦，那就讓球員們玩吧。

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars and getting bitches and models?

吹噓自己賺了大錢、有了女人和模特是什麼感覺？

如果你是壞人，這一切都很好。

If I was outrushing my dollars, I'd be a bitch, not a baller.

如果我的錢比我的還多，那我就是個婊子，而不是球星。

Because I'm so sick of them coming at me again.

因為我已經受夠了他們又來找我了。

如果我是男人，那我就是男人。

So there's a really good Elizabeth Gilbert Ted talk about that, that is like one of my favorite things to like cry while watching.

伊麗莎白-吉爾伯特（Elizabeth Gilbert）有一個非常精彩的 Ted 演講，我最喜歡邊看邊哭。

But yeah, like with this song, it was one of those weird moments where I was just like, okay, this is just middle of the night, I'm like in my PJs, like stumbling to the piano because I got this idea.

但是，就像這首歌一樣，我當時就覺得，好吧，現在是半夜，我穿著睡衣，跌跌撞撞地走到鋼琴前，因為我有了這個想法。

And the song just happened really quickly.

There's a line in the song that I'm really proud of.

歌中有一句歌詞讓我非常自豪。

And the line says, with every guitar string scar on my hand, I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.

歌詞寫道："我手上的每一根吉他弦上都有傷疤，我把這個充滿磁性的男人當作我的夫妻。

And that line is really special to me because I've spent quite a bit of time writing breakup songs and songs about things not turning out the way you wanted them to or songs about what you thought would be love and it turned out to not be that at all or, you know, just kind of the struggle of life.

這句歌詞對我來說真的很特別，因為我花了很多時間寫分手歌，寫一些事與願違的歌，或者寫一些你以為會是愛情，結果卻完全不是的歌，或者，你知道的，就是那種生活掙扎的歌。

I find songwriting is really just like a cathartic therapeutic thing for me.

我覺得寫歌對我來說就是一種宣洩和治療。

And so there are a lot of things I've written about in my life that were like the harder things I've had to go through.

是以，在我的生活中，有很多我寫過的東西，都是我不得不經歷的更艱難的事情。

So I took that as a metaphor for like, you know, the times when I was learning to play guitar and I like play till my fingers bled when I was a kid and I still have those marks from that.

所以我把這比喻成，你知道的，我學吉他的時候，我喜歡彈到手指流血，我還是個孩子的時候，我還留著那些痕跡。

And, you know, all the times I'd be like changing a string and it would pop and I still have scars from that.

而且，你知道，有好幾次我在換繩子的時候，繩子突然斷了，到現在我身上還有傷疤。

But it's also a bigger metaphor for like in life you accumulate scars, you accumulate hurt, you accumulate moments of, you know, learning and disappointment and struggle and all that.

但這也是一個更大的隱喻，就像在生活中，你會積累傷疤，積累傷害，積累學習、失望和掙扎的時刻等等。

And if someone's going to take your hand, they better take your hand scars and all.

如果有人要拿走你的手，最好把你手上的傷疤也拿走。

We could leave the Christmas lights up till January This is our place, we make the rules Then there's a dazzling haze, mysterious way about you dear Have I known you twenty seconds, twenty years?

我們可以把聖誕燈飾留到一月份 這裡是我們的地方，規則由我們來定 親愛的，你身上有一種令人目眩神迷的神祕氣質 我認識你二十秒鐘還是二十年？

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my lover We could let our friends crash in the living room You take me home Cause this is our place, we make the call And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you I loved you three summers now honey, but I want them all Can I go where you go?

你帶我出去，帶我回家 你是我的，我的，我的，我的夫妻 我們可以讓朋友們在客廳裡狂歡 你帶我回家，因為這是我們的地方，我們說了算 我非常懷疑，每個見到你的人都想要你 我已經愛了你三個夏天了，親愛的，但我想要他們全部 我能去你去的地方嗎？

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my lover Ladies and gentlemen will you please stand With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover And my heart's been borrowed, yours has been blew All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me And at every table I'll save you a seat Can I go where you go?

你帶我出去，你帶我回家 你是我的，我的，我的，我的夫妻 女士們，先生們，請起立 我手上的每一根吉他弦都有傷疤 我把這個充滿磁性的男人當作我的夫妻 我的心被借走了，你的心也被吹走了 和你在一起，一切都好，結局都好 我發誓，我會對我的夫妻誇張而真誠 你會把你所有最骯髒的笑話留給我 在每張桌子上，我都會給你留一個座位 我可以去你去的地方嗎？

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my Oh you're my, my, my, my Darling you're my, my, my, my Lover You guys ever had costume changes a time ago?

你帶我出去，帶我回家 你是我的，我的，我的，我的 哦，你是我的，我的，我的，我的 親愛的，你是我的，我的，我的，我的夫妻 你們以前換過裝嗎？

So over the course of the years that I've done interviews Which is I think probably about like 15 or 16 years now I've gotten a question over and over again that I think Has the potential to seriously deteriorate my mental health The question is What will you ever do if you get happy?

是以，在我接受採訪的這些年裡，我想大概有 15 或 16 年了吧，我一次又一次地收到一個問題，我認為這個問題有可能嚴重惡化我的心理健康。

Will you just never be able to write a song again?

It's an interesting question And you know in the interviews when I would get that question As a young person and I'd kind of be like Well I started out writing songs about stuff I had no idea about Like I started writing songs when I was 12 years old And they were usually about like heartbreak I had no idea what I was talking about But I had watched movies and I had read books And so I would grab inspiration from character dynamics as you do And so I would say in the interviews Like I'd probably just do that Like if stuff is going on in the world that's not just happening to me Like maybe I could get inspiration from that But then I'd go home and I'd be like What would happen if I was ever happy?

這是個有趣的問題，你知道，在採訪中，我會被問到這個問題 作為一個年輕人，我會說，我一開始寫歌，寫的都是我不知道的東西 比如我從12歲開始寫歌，通常都是關於心碎的 我不知道自己在說什麼，但我看過電影，讀過書所以我會像你一樣從人物的動態中汲取靈感 所以我會在採訪中說 我可能就會這麼做 就像如果世界上發生的事情不只是發生在我身上 也許我可以從中汲取靈感 但我回家後就會想 如果我曾經幸福過會怎樣？

Would I not be able to do the thing that I love the most in the world?

難道我就不能做我在這個世界上最熱愛的事情了嗎？

Like would that, is that, oh my god Would I not be able to write breakup songs anymore?

天哪，我是不是再也寫不出分手歌曲了？

I love breakup songs They're so fun to write And so then I happened to be writing this album Lover Which is a very, very happy, romantic album And I started, like in my life A few of my friends were going through breakups and we were talking It's like those kinds of breakups where you need to talk to your friend all the time Because they need to talk about it all day, every day So I was having a lot of conversations about breakups I watched movies that were really well done about breakups In some of the books I was reading there were some good breakups happening And so this all culminated in me waking up one day With all these heartbreak lyrics in my head And I was like, it's still here!

我喜歡失戀歌曲，寫起來很有趣 於是我碰巧寫了這張專輯《情人》 這是一張非常非常快樂、浪漫的專輯 我開始，就像在我的生活中 我的幾個朋友正在經歷失戀 我們在一起哈拉 就像那種你需要一直和朋友哈拉的失戀 因為他們需要整天都在聊我看了很多關於失戀的電影 我讀的一些書裡也有很好的失戀故事

So I ended up writing a song That was a breakup song on the Lover album And I was like, this song is my proof that You know, don't have to stop writing songs about heartache and misery Which for me is incredible news So this is called Death by a Thousand Cuts My, my, my, my My, my, my, my Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk but it's not enough Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts I dress to kill my time I take the long way home I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright They say I don't know And what once was ours is no one's now I see you everywhere The only thing we share is this small town You said it was a great love One for the ages But if the story's over Why am I still writing pages?

所以我寫了一首《情人》專輯裡的分手歌 我就想，這首歌證明了 你不必停止寫關於心痛和痛苦的歌 這對我來說是個好消息 所以這首歌叫做《千刀萬剮》 我的，我的，我的，我的，我的，我的說再見是千刀萬剮 回想喚醒了我 我喝醉了，但這還不夠 因為清晨來臨，你不再是我的寶貝我穿上衣服消磨時間 我走遠路回家 我問紅綠燈是否會好 他們說我不知道 曾經屬於我們的現在不屬於任何人 我到處都能看到你 我們唯一分享的就是這個小鎮 你說這是一段偉大的愛情 千古流傳 但如果故事結束了 為什麼我還在寫這幾頁？

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk but it's not enough Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts My heart, my hips, my body, my love Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch Gave up on me like I was a bad drug Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club Our songs, our films, united we stand Our country, yes it was a lawless land Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand Paper cut stings from a paper man dance My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up Gave you too much but it wasn't enough I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts I get drunk but it's not enough Cause you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not No it's not It's death by a thousand cuts My body, my love, my trust But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright They say I don't know I have three that I don't know So I was trying to think of what songs to do for this And you get like, I think you get like four So I was just like And so I was thinking about how it's autumn And that's like my favorite season And people on the internet have been kind enough In and amongst the people who care about my music Have been kind enough to associate autumn with one of my albums Called Red And you know, I guess it's just a very like autumn-y album And so I was thinking about that Like how it's so nice, the crisp fall air is happening And you know, I don't Google myself ever I recommend you not do it either But my dad does And he like will send me links to things And every once in a while I'll see them And that's the only way I get my news But he sends me these lists that are like very nice Like ranking my songs, which that's really nice of people to do I really love that people do that And I find it really nice And I'm grateful that people care enough to rank my songs There's one song that I'm particularly proud of Because when the Red album came out There was this one song on the album that I was like I'm the only one who loves this song this much But it's only because it happened to me and it was personal No one else is going to like All Too Well as much as like And when it came out on the album Like slowly but surely over the course of that album's life And then beyond, you know You guys have made that song something that was way more Than I ever thought the life of that song would be And like I've just had so much fun playing it in concert And like screaming it with you guys And yeah, so the fact that the song went out into the world And you guys like made it so that it's like always I think it's usually number one on any list That's like saying what my songs are Which is great And I'm happy that like my opinion lines up with your opinion on that Because that was probably my favorite song on Red And so I figured that maybe I would play it for you Before I do play it for you I just wanted to say thank you so much for having me This is really amazing to get to do this And I'm honored that I was invited And the fact that this many people would want to cram into a space I really, I understand the sacrifices that have been made for me today So here's a sad song about fall I walked through the door with you It was cold Something about it felt like home Somehow and I left my scarf there At your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer Even now With your sweet disposition My wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car Getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down Like pieces into place I can picture it After all these days And I know it's long gone And that magic's not here no more And I might be okay But I'm not fine at all Cause there we are again On that little town street You almost ran the red Cause you were looking over at me Wind in my hair I was there I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses In a twin-size bed Your mother's telling stories about you On the t-ball team You taught me about your past Thinking your future was me And I know it's long gone And there was nothing else I could do I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed you Cause there we are again In the middle of the night Dancing round the kitchen In the refrigerator light Down the stairs I was there I remember it all too well Maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much Maybe this thing was a masterpiece Till you tore it all up Running scared I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again Just to break me like a promise So casually cruel In the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper Lying here Cause I remember it all Too well Time won't fly It's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After pleasure days And nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things And I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf From that very first week Cause it reminds you of innocence And it smells like me You can't get rid of it Cause you remember it all too well Cause there we are again When I loved you so Back before you lost The one real thing you've ever known It was rare You were there You remember it all too well Wind in my hair You were there You remember it all down the stairs You were there You remember it all It was rare You were there You remember it all too well Thanks for having me!

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cut 回憶喚醒我 I get drunk but it's not enough 因為清晨來臨 你不再是我的寶貝 Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby 我透過這愛的窗戶望出去 I look through the windows of this love 即使我們已經下令關閉 even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers sti
