漂洋过海来看你

英文歌曲的改编在华语乐坛是很常见的事情，之前Kim就介绍过的一首《I hate myself for loving you》就被刘德华翻唱为粤语歌曲《我恨我痴心》。

今天为大家推荐的这首歌有点不一样，是由一首中文歌改编的英文歌曲《飘扬过海来看你》，歌词的翻译很有意思，也有许多值得我们一起来学习的内容，接下来就让我们一起来听一听这首英文版的《漂洋过海来看你》。

To meet you I’ve saved every penny

To travel far across the sea

To be free-and-easy

Many times I rehearsed the meet

Hoped to impress you deep

Many times I rehearsed the meet, hoped to impress you deep

我连见面时的呼吸都曾反复练习

rehearse,v.排练，预演 ；默诵，背诵

例句，We are rehearsing a radio play.

我们最近在排练一个广播剧。

Hope to impress you deep

impress,v.使留下深刻的印象 ；使意识到（重要性或严重性等） ；使铭记

例句，Father impressed on me the value of hard work.

父亲向我强调努力工作的重要意义。

Words had never conveyed what I wanted to say

What in my mind so clearly

To me you are the one

Until the rocks melt with the sun

I do believe

Words had never conveyed what I wanted to say what in my mind so clearly

言语从来没能将我的情意表达千万分之一

convey,v.表达，传递，传达 ；传送，输送，运送

例句，Your luggage will be conveyed to the hotel by taxi.

你的行李将由出租车送到酒店。

To me you are the one，until the rocks melt with the sun，I do believe

我在夜里想了又想，不肯睡去

这句英文歌词跟中文歌词的含义差得就有点远了，但是呢也有殊途同归的地方，英文歌词直译过来是“对我而言你是唯一，直到海枯石烂”，而在中文歌词里，我在夜里把这份“情意”想了又想，不肯睡去。

melt，v.（使）溶解、融化

melt away，消失；融掉

例句，When he heard these words, he felt his inner doubts melt away.

听到这些话，他觉得内心的疑虑消失了。

Happy moments stay and sweet memories

Linger on me never fade away

Keeping your words in mind

I tell myself at the hard time

Never fear the defeat

Linger on me never fade away

在我心中无法抹去

linger on，逗留，留恋不走；持续，存留；奄奄一息，苟延残喘

例句，The doubts, however, have lingered on.

然而，一些疑问仍然挥之不去。

Keeping your words in mind

为了你的承诺

keep in mind，牢记，记住

例句，It is not easy to keep in mind what you have told me.

记住你告诉我的话并不容易。

How I traveled so far

How deep attached we are

In this lonely city

We hug too tight we feel

I care not what will come out in the end to me

Oh in this autumn wind I watch you take leave

Sorrow grows so strong that makes me wail

How I wish the hill the sea

Break up not you and me

So long as we can breathe
