情態助動詞 A2

現在進行式

because that way she knows that no matter what happens,

at least she can always find her way to me.

And I'm going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands

before she can say, "Oh, I know that like the back of my hand."

在她能說出「那跟我手背上畫的圖一樣」之前

that this life will hit you hard in the face,

wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach.

它等妳找到後援，只為了可以再狠狠地揍妳一頓

that cannot be fixed by Band-Aids or poetry.

she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself

她不需要自己穿上神奇女超人的套裝

because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers,

don't keep your nose up in the air like that.

I know that trick; I've done it a million times.

我知道那招數，我也做過幾千次

so you can follow the trail back to a burning house,

so you can find the boy who lost everything in the fire

在那裡妳會找到個在大火中失去一切的男孩

Or else find the boy who lit the fire in the first place,

或著，找到那個放火燒了房子的男孩

但我知道她不管怎樣一定會成功

so instead I'll always keep an extra supply

because there is no heartbreak that chocolate can't fix.

因為沒有巧克力不能修補的心碎

Okay, there's a few heartbreaks that chocolate can't fix.

好吧，還是有少數的心碎是巧克力無法修補的

because rain will wash away everything, if you let it.

因為如果妳願意，雨會將一切沖刷殆盡

through the underside of a glass-bottom boat,

♫ There'll be days like this, my momma said. ♫

♫總會有這樣的日子，我媽媽說♫

and wind up with only blisters and bruises;

when you step out of the phone booth and try to fly

當妳踏出電話亭，試著像超人一樣飛

and you'll be up to your knees in disappointment.

And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say thank you.

但正是這些日子，讓妳更有理由去感謝

than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline,

You will put the wind in winsome, lose some.

風會成為妳揚帆的助力，也會成為阻力

不畏懼失敗以及重複挑戰的力量

And no matter how many land mines erupt in a minute,

在這名為人生的曼趣之地上，妳必須為妳的心

on the beauty of this funny place called life.

And yes, on a scale from one to over-trusting,

當然，以一個從無到過度信任的尺度來衡量

But I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar.

但我要她知道，這世界是糖組成的

but don't be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.

但不要抗拒用妳的味蕾去品嚐它

"Baby," I'll tell her, "remember, your momma is a worrier,

我會告訴她「記著寶貝，你的媽媽杞人憂天

and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes

And always apologize when you've done something wrong,

for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining.

拒絕讓自己的眼睛不再發光而道歉

Your voice is small, but don't ever stop singing.

妳的聲音也許微弱，但絕不要停止歌唱

And when they finally hand you heartache,

when they slip war and hatred under your door

悄悄將戰爭和憎恨帶至妳家門前

you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.

All right, so I want you to take a moment,

好的，現在我需要你們花些時間

唯一的條件是，不要想得太複雜
