美国女孩—瑞萩的故事(3)
一次带了夫人到纳什维尔去度假，纳什维尔是美国乡村音乐的首都，是一个音
乐人才聚集的地方。到处都有乡村音乐的表演。也就看了很多乡村音乐。真的很好、
很朴实、很真实。歌词都是一般人家的情情爱爱，普通的烦恼和忧愁，都很有简单
的民间哲理。就觉着如果乡村音乐能更诗化，诗若能更乡村音乐一点，就会让乡村
音乐更完美，让诗歌更通俗。回来之后便心血来潮，以瑞萩的故事为题材，写了一
首乡村音乐的歌词。
Love is an experiment
When Rachel was 16, she passed the driving test.
She got Dad's Oldsmobile and found a boyfriend.
She complained dad's curfew, she hated mom's rules，
Called Dad a Hitler and said Mom is so cruel.
She emailed to the boy, said she loved him so true,
When the boy did something wrong, she dumped him out of blue.
I said, that's Ok, baby, that's Ok,
A young girl is a flower that needs sunshine and rain.
Life is a journey; you are not too young to begin.
A heart is like a garden that needs experience.
Can ’t learn love from love songs,
So you have to experiment.
When Rachel was 17, she got bored with school.
She changed boyfriend as fast as the spring wind blew.
She didn't like dad's curfew and she hated mom's rules.
She wanted to move out and never came back home.
But she started to realize that boys are a little lose,
Nobody is always right and no boy is perfectly cool.
I said, that's Ok, baby, that's Ok,
A young girl is a flower, needs sunshine and rain,
A life is a journey; you are not too young to begin.
A heart is a garden that needs experience,
Just can't learn love from love songs,
So you have to experiment.
Now Rachel is 18’she started the college.
Falling in love with a cute deaf boy, she learned the sign language.
When he went to a strip club and he told her a lie,
She dumped him fast as soon as she knew the fact.
Then she learned to forgive him and took him back,
But she is still dreaming of hotties and chatting on internet.
That's Ok, baby, that's Ok,
Your mind needs education,
Your heart needs experience,
Just can't learn love from country songs,
So, you have to experiment.
Just can't learn love from love songs,
So, you have to experiment.
爱是一个试验
瑞萩十六岁时，拿到了驾照；
她接了爸爸的奥兹莫比尔车并找到了男朋友。
她抱怨爸爸的夜禁，她恨妈妈的纪律；
说她爸爸是希特勒，妈妈是无比残忍。
他伊妹儿给男友，说她真是爱他；
当这男孩做错了事，她就突然跟他吹了。
我说，没有关系呀，宝贝，没有关系，
女孩是鲜花需要阳光和雨露；
人生是旅途没有太年幼的起步；
心是一个花园需要很多经验，
不能从爱歌里学到爱情。
所以你必须要做实验。
瑞萩１７岁时她厌倦了学校，
换男朋友快得像吹来的春风。
她不喜欢爸爸的夜禁，她恨妈妈的纪律。
她想搬出家自由地再也不回去。
但是他开始懂得男孩子都有点散，
没有人总是正确，也没有男孩绝对“酷”。
我说，没有关系呀，宝贝，没有关系，
女孩是鲜花需要阳光和雨露，
人生是旅途没有太年幼的起步；
心是一个花园需要很多经验，
不能从爱歌里学到爱情，
所以你必须要做实验．
现在瑞萩１８岁，开始上大学，
爱上了一个聋哑男孩，她开始学手语。
当他去看脱衣舞后跟她撒了谎，
知道事实后她马上跟他分手。
后来学着原谅他，又同他和好，
可她还是梦想帅哥，还在网上聊天。
没有关系呀，宝贝，没有关系，
你的头脑需要教育，
你的心需要经历，
不能从乡村音乐学爱情，
所以你必须要做实验。
不能从爱情歌曲中学爱情，
所以你必须要做实验。
如果哪位中国歌手将这首歌谱成曲，可以到纳什维尔唱他一回， 岂不是有趣？
