Slow Dancing With The Moon (与月共舞)
sweet little cherry blossom, 女孩像脆弱甜美的樱花
blooming before her time 过早开放
moving her lips to her 轻轻颤动樱唇
favorite song, cherishing every rhyme 唱出心爱的歌,珍爱每一个韵律
swaying her lips to the rhythm, humming along with the tune 琢磨韵律,跟着调子一起轻哼
lost in her own little dream world 迷失在自己的梦幻世界
slowing dancing with the moon 与月共舞
watching her I cannot help 看见她我仿佛回到从前
but go back in my mind 在我灵魂深处
and suddenly I find I am 15 again 回到了15岁
slow dancing with the moon 与月共舞的时光
oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago 星星早就在我眼中闪烁
and I've lived my life like a love sick clown 我生活得像个充满爱的小丑,有点病态
in a bittersweet cartoon 像让人又哭又笑的卡通片里那样
just a dreamy-eyes kind slow dancing with the moon 眼睛里充满梦幻,与月共舞
watching the girl I'm reminded she's quite a lot like me 看这女孩,多么像我
trapped in the suburbs of wonderland 在这仙境般的乡野迷失
lost in her own fantasy 迷失在自己的梦幻里
somehow my heart never grew up 也许我的心从未长大
no one ever burst my balloon 没有人弄破我的梦想气球
so here I am swirling in star dust slow dancing with the moon 所以此刻我在星尘中旋转,与月共舞
still believe someday my wildest dreams will all come ture 我仍相信,某天我最狂野的梦将成真
and I'll find someone who'll make me 15 again 我会找到某个人,让我再次回到15岁
but until then I'm slow dancing with the moon 在那之前,我会一直与月共舞
oh ,the stars got in my eyes long time ago 星星早就在我眼中闪烁
and I've lived my life like a love sick clown 我生活得像个充满爱的小丑,有点病态
in a bittersweet cartoon 像让人又哭又笑的卡通片里那样
just a dreamy-eyes kind slow dancing with the moon 眼睛里充满梦幻,与月共舞

【句子】The flowers are swaying in the breeze.
【词组】The swaying flowers in the breeze
【译注】sway是指慢慢的摆动,很符合这一慢镜头。(请参见《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》中的解释:sway: to move slowly from side to side; to move something in this way.)《牛津》上还有一个与此句非常相似的例句:The branches were swaying in the wind. 树枝在风中摇曳。使用wave也可以,但swing意思就差的比较大了。(swing是"摇荡"的意思:to move backwards and forwards or from side to side while hanging from a fixed point; to make something do this.)
breeze是微风,更细微。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》上的释义为:a light wind,也很符合这一场景。
