听歌学英语:Taylor Swift¹写给前男友的歌 All Too Well

All Too Well这首歌曲在推出后49分钟内登顶iTunes下载榜，登上公告牌榜后第二周登顶，成为泰勒第一首冠军单曲，还打破纪录，成为上榜首周全球销量第二的单曲，并创造了女歌手单曲单周销量第一的世界新纪录。Us Weekly杂志的报道称泰勒的新歌"All Too Well"就讲述了她与杰克·吉伦哈尔（Jake Gyllenhaal）逝去的恋情。2010年，泰勒被拍到与杰克一家甜蜜共度感恩节，不过这段恋情却在同年圣诞节闪电结束。泰勒对于自己在电话里被甩一事难以释怀，她告诉《早安美国》节目：“我为'All Too Well'倾注了不少心力，因为我花了很长的时间去精挑细选我想表达的东西。这首歌最初的版本长达十分钟，不适合放进专辑中。所以我又精简了自己的遣词造句，然后这首歌才变成了'Red'的一部分。

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold,
But something 'bout² it felt like home somehow,
and I left my scarf there,At your sister's house, And you still got it,
In your drawer even now. Oh, your sweet disposition³,
And my wide eyed gaze⁴, We're singing in a car,
Getting lost upstate. The Autumn leaves falling down,
Like pieces into place, And I can picture it, After all these days.
And I know it's long gone, And that magic’s not here no more,
And it might be okay, But I'm not fine at all.
'Cause here we are again,
On that little town street, You almost ran the red,
'Cause you were looking over me, Wind in my hair,
I was there, I remember it all too well.
Photo album on my counter, Your cheeks were turning red,
You used to be a little kid, With glasses in a twin size bed.
And your mother's telling stories, 'Bout you on the t-ball team,
You tell me about your past, Thinking your future was me.
And I know it's long gone, And there was nothing else I could do.
And I forget about you long enough, To forget why I needed to.
'Cause here we are again,
In the middle of the night, We're dancing round the kitchen,
In the refrigerator light. Down the stairs, I was there,
I remember it all too well. And maybe we got lost in translation,
Maybe I asked for too much,
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece, Till you tore it all up.
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well.
Hey, you called me up again, Just to break me like a promise,
So casually⁵ cruel in the, Name of being honest.
I'm a crumbled⁶ up piece of paper lying here,
'Cause I remember it all, All, all too well.
Time won't fly, It's Like I'm paralyzed⁷ by it,
I’d like to be my old self again, But I'm still trying to find it.
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own,
Now you mail back my things, And I walk home alone.
But your keep my old scarf, From that very first week,
'Cause it reminds you of innocence⁸, And it smells like me,
You can't get rid of it, 'Cause you remember it,
All too well, yeah. 'Cause there we are again,
Where I loved you so,
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there,
I remember it all too well.
