霉霉的傷心事

最新 03-13

有一首Taylor 在專輯《fearless》里的歌，《Should』ve said no》給我留下了深刻的印象。不僅是因為，她唱出了對當年那個劈腿男友的怨念，高呼著「你本該拒絕的呀」；也因為這首歌完全是建立在虛擬假設的狀態之中的，現實都是相反的咯：那個人說了yes，並且欺騙了年少懵懂的霉霉。

第二個原因也是最重要的原因：是這首歌讓當年的我學會了虛擬語氣（subjunctive mood）啊！這麼重的要的歌你一定值得擁有，對吧？但是為了霉霉大家注意版權，咳。

讓我們先看看霉霉自己怎麼說的。

Taylor said: "Just being a human being, I"ve realized that before every big problem you create for yourself, before everyhuge mess you have to clean up, there was a crucial moment where you could"ve just said no. This is a song I wrote about a guy who never should have cheated on me."

讓我們看看這首《Should"ve said no》的故事情節，請自行挑出虛擬語氣的句子並深深體會這種語氣的帶入感有多強。

It"s strange to think/ the songs we used to sing/ the smiles the flowers everything/ is gone// Yesterday I found about you/ even now just looking at you/ feels wrong/

想來奇怪，那些曾經的好時光，統統不見了

昨天發覺，有關你的事就算望著你的臉，都感覺不對了

You say that you"d take it all back/ give you one chance/

It was a moment of weakness/ and you said yes/

你說只要給你一次機會，就能讓我們回到從前

那件事只是你一瞬間的軟弱才妥協

You should"ve said no/ you should"ve gone home/

You should"ve thought twice/ before you letit all go/

你本該拒絕的，你本該回家去的

你本該在一切發生之前考慮清楚的

You should"ve known that word/ that what you did with her/ would get back to me/

And I should"ve been there/ in the back of your mind/ I shouldn"t be asking myself why/
