English Translation Apprentice

以前小man對於Justin Timberlake印象就是「一個漂亮的帥男孩」
對於他的歌曲認識是快要回國了才慢慢接觸
出乎我意料之外

原來他會唱歌  聲音還給他不錯聽!!

JT蠻多首歌歌詞也挺不錯的
旋律不同於美國大部分大同小異的電音或Hiphop舞曲
抒情但不落俗(←因爸爸的耳濡目染和最近認識某位朋友  小man有越來越會啦迪賽之趨勢

到底有多喜歡這首Mirrors呢?
→看我難得不是單純翻歌詞就知道了。

根據小man在美國網站搜尋這首歌JT個人詮釋和介紹
找到了這篇報導(原文請看:  Justin Timberlake Reveals 'Mirrors' is about Jessica Biel)
JT提到Mirrors是「一首情歌獻給一個人感覺彷彿是，某種程度上，像是另一個半個你。("Mirrors is a love song to someone that you feel like is, you know, sort of your other half")」

JT認為「在一段感情裡最有價值的莫過於能夠彼此不斷的改變但還是各自一體，但看向你身邊的他/她，發現他/她也在自己改變，不過不知什麼原因你們兩個彷彿倒映著彼此及成為兩人所創造的另一個世界。("One of the most valuable things in a relationship is being able to constantly change and be individual, but look to the other side to the person that you’re with and and know that they’re changing as well individually, but somehow you two can mirror each other and be the other half of that world that you both create")」

「我想一段感情，當是行得通時，是持續的進化成長因為我們彼此各別的自我成長，(“I think a relationship, when it’s working, is constantly evolving because we as individuals evolve,”)
JT結論道，「你想要知道跟你在一起的那個人是跟著你一塊成長的 (“You want to know that the person you’re with is evolving with you.”)」

而片頭出現的William and Sadie是JT的結縭60多年的祖父母喔。

好!
不管有沒有更喜歡這首歌(我有
就來欣賞歌詞吧

Mirrors 鏡子
By Justin Timberlake

[Verse 1]
Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
你難道不是一個讓人忍不住去欣賞的事物 因為你閃耀地就似一面鏡子
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
而且我無法控制但注意到 你反射在我這一顆心之中
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass,I'll be tryin' to pull you through
只要把你的手放在這面玻璃上 我會試著把你拉向我

Aren't you somethin', an original, cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
你難道不是一個獨創的事物 因為這看起來不像是僅僅的聚像

而我無法控制自己不去看因為我在你眼中某處看到了真實
I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
