過去完成式

If you had caught me straight out of college

譯者: Diwen Mueller 審譯者: Ya-Chun Chuang

假如你在我大學剛畢業的時候認識我

and asked me what I was going to do with my life,

that I'd just passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi,

and I was going to go study law in Beijing,

and I was going to improve U.S.-China relations

而且我打算到北京去學習法律，

what a huge impact it would have on me one night

那一夜對我的影響是如此巨大。

and I heard a sound coming out of a record player

是從房間角落的唱片機里傳出來。

和五弦琴的繞樑之音配合在一起

And after being totally and completely obsessed

I knew I had to take a banjo with me to China.

我意識到我必須帶着五弦琴去中國。

I bought a banjo, I threw it in my little red truck

我買了一把五弦琴，丟到我那輛紅色的小卡車上

and I learned a bunch of old American songs,

at the International Bluegrass Music Association Convention.

去看了國際藍草音樂聯合會會議。

And they said, "Hey, do you want to jam?"

她們問我，“嘿，你想和我配合彈幾曲嗎？”

and I nervously played four songs that I actually knew with them.

and invited me to Nashville, Tennessee to make a record.

然後，一個唱片製作向我走了過來

邀請我到田納西州的纳什维尔, 去製作唱片。

and I can tell you that I didn't go to China to become a lawyer.

我可以告訴你的是，我沒有去中國成為律師

And after a few months I was writing songs.

And the first song I wrote was in English,

The four corners of the world are watching,

It's really been eight years since that fated night in Kentucky.

自從肯塔基那命中注定之夜後，到現在已經8年了

with so many incredible, inspirational musicians around the world.

有很多世界各地激發人靈感的出色音樂家

特別是在西維吉尼亞州的藍草音樂節

like it's going to fall out of their heads.

And they're like, "What's that girl doing?"

And then they come up to me after the show

他們不禁在想，“那個女孩子在幹甚麼？”

"You know, my aunt's sister's babysitter's dog's chicken went to China

“你知道嗎，我阿姨的姊姊的保姆的狗的雞去中國了

And I tell you what, it like everybody's got a story.

我告訴你，每一個人都有他自己的故事

儘管有着不同的頭髮，用着不一樣的樂器
