未來簡單式

Today, I'll be introducing Closer from the Chain Smokers

今天要來介紹 The Chainsmokers 的 Closer!

Welcome back to Crown's English Song Spotlight

We introduced Fight Song from Rachel Platten in the last episode

上一集我們介紹了 Rachel Platten 的 Fight Song

Today, I'll be introducing the hottest song , Closer

那今天則是要介紹人氣無法擋的，Closer!

這次這首歌是由超人氣 DJ 雙人組

Billboard Hot 100 裡取得了第一名的佳績

with strong beats and conversational lyrics

強烈的節奏感，跟對話式的歌詞

為這首歌創造出了很寫實的一面

The lyrics are about a couple who broke up long ago

歌詞訴說著一對已經分手很久的情侶

the Chainsmokers have a really unique explanation themselves

The Chainsmokers 對這首歌的解釋非常的不一樣

Today, We'll be reading behind the lyrics

The translation of the lyrics is in the info section

那更多資訊裡面也有我的 (歌詞)

那我們就一起來聽聽看這首歌吧！

Hey, I was doing just fine before i met you

嘿，在遇見妳之前，我自己一個人也過得很好

Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them

嘿，你可以跟你的那些朋友說，很開心認識她們

但我希望我能夠永遠不再見到她們

在遇見妳之前，我其實過得挺不錯的

There are two explanations regarding the timing

這一句我覺得有兩種不同時間點的解釋方式

第一個是在他們第一次認識的時候

第二個是在他們再次巧遇的時候

the "was doing just fine" in the lyrics strongly suggests that

歌詞裡面的 was doing just fine 都有一種很想要強調

『就算沒有你，其實我也過得很不錯』的感覺

他還沒有遇見女主角的時間，他的狀態

The just in "just fine" further emphasizes the message that I don't care about you

那 just fine 的 just 更是朔造出了『沒你沒差』

but you can feel there is something going on deep inside

但是卻有一個『硬撐，勉強』的感覺

maybe I have some drinking issues, but I'm ok

或許我有點酗酒的問題，但是其實我挺 OK 的

依照上面所講的兩種時間點的解釋來看的話

If it's before meeting the girl, he might be just saying

第一次見面時，他可能只是單純的說

when they met again, he might be suggesting

他們再次巧遇時來解釋的話，他有可能是在說

he relied alcohol to get out of the relationship

他為了走出這個情傷，太過依賴酒精

他現在已經完全沒事，他已經釋懷了

No matter what, he's talking about his weakness

不管怎麼樣，這兩句都是在說自己的缺點

but denying his weakness at the same time

If we want to talk behind a person with our BFF

所以當我們想要跟閨密偷罵一個人

we can say that he or she has some serious issues

就可以說 he/she has some serious issues

我開著破爛的車離開你到大都市裡

而如今我卻在飯店酒吧裡遇見美麗動人的你

But i still left you and drove that broke-down car to city

但是我還是開著破爛的車離開你到了大都市裡

The guy admitted that he's the one who dumped the girl

You can see they used the same word twice

那這邊可以看到，用了兩個一樣的字

Break someone's heart means 傷透了某個人的心

Break someone’s heart 就是傷透了某個人的心

那 broke-down car 這邊就是在形容一個

so you can see the guy drives a broke-down car

那也可以看出來，因為男主角開著破爛的車

如今我跟美麗的你在這飯店酒吧裡相遇

When Drew and Alex were writing this song

they really wanted to create an unexpected atmosphere

所以就很容易情不自禁的擦槍走火

"four years, no calls" I personally think that

這邊的 four years, no calls 我自己是解讀成

but also haven't heard anything of each other

你看起來就跟我們初識時一樣帥

留下來，讓我們一起回憶著那首 Blink-182 的歌

那首我們在曾經在圖森聽到爛的歌
