The Freshman - The Verve Pipe
hen I was young and knew everything 年轻时曾以为自己明白一切
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice 而她也是自以为是的庞克少女
Now I'm guilt stricken 现在我心中充满了愧疚
Sobbing with my head on the floor 把头倚在地上独自哭泣
Stompin' baby's breath and a shoe full of rice 悔恨自己剥夺了一个婴儿的呼吸和一个女孩的婚礼
I can't be held responsible 这不是我的错
Cause she was touching her face 因为是她太令人着迷
I won't be held responsible 这不是我的错
She fell in love in the first place 因为是她先爱上了我
(Chorus)
For the life of me I cannot remember 我一生已无法记起
What made us think that we were wise and 是什么让我们自认聪明
We'd never compromise 是什么让我们从不妥协
For the life of me I cannot believe 我一生已无法相信
We'd ever die for these sins 我们是否会为这些罪恶而死
We were merely freshmen 因为只是因为我们年轻
My best friend took a week's 我最好的朋友
Vacation to forget her 用了一周的假期将她忘记
His girl took a week's worth of 他的女友
Valium and slept 用了一周的安眠药睡去
Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his 而他现在心中充满了悔恨
Head on the floor 把头倚在地上独自哭泣
Thinks about her now and how he never really 现在开始想念她
Wept he says 后悔自己总是说
I can't be held responsible 这不是我的错
Cause she was touching her face 因为是她太令人着迷
I won't be held responsible 这不是我的错
She fell in love in the first place 因为是她先爱上了我
(Chorus)
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this 我们总是努力让自己远离一切干系
We never talk of our lack in relationships 我们从不说自己缺少责任
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our 从不说我们如此地悔恨
Heads on the floor 把头倚在地上独自哭泣
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip 我们小心翼翼地想在冰上站稳时却跌倒了
We'd say 我们总是说
I can't be held responsible 这不是我的错
Cause she was touching her face 因为是她太令人着迷
I won't be held responsible 这不是我的错
She fell in love in the first place 因为是她先爱上了我
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice 而她也是自以为是的庞克少女
Now I'm guilt stricken 现在我心中充满了愧疚
Sobbing with my head on the floor 把头倚在地上独自哭泣
Stompin' baby's breath and a shoe full of rice 悔恨自己剥夺了一个婴儿的呼吸和一个女孩的婚礼
I can't be held responsible 这不是我的错

I won't be held responsible 这不是我的错

我freshman的时候听到了这首freshmen。 一支非常甜美的小曲儿，仿佛讲述了大学时代的情感故事中的的酸甜苦辣。可是看了歌词才知道故事是如此悲伤。歌曲描述了两个小伙子是如何对待一个他们曾经交往过然后甩掉的姑娘的自杀。
。。。
年轻时，小伙子无所不知 （后来才发现自己一无所知吧）。而她，却是一个听不进劝告的punky girl (多少你认识的女孩子是这样的呢？）。后来姑娘怀孕了，小伙子没有娶她（no shoes of rice=no wedding)，反而带她去做掉baby。“这并不是我的责任，因为我认为是她扮作性感，是她勾引了我 （she touching her face)，我什么都没说，是她自己爱上我的”。直到后来小伙子才意识到，自己凭什么把那个姑娘拖进这样的境地，为什么不能妥协呢，罪恶感油然而生。另一个自己却说，让过去过去吧，那时还小，还是个孩子。
小伙子的好朋友和那个姑娘交往厌倦后（his girl is was my girl)，用了一个礼拜的假期去忘掉她；而女孩儿却用一个星期服用安定药来忘掉痛苦，然而痛苦没有被忘却，她却永远的沉睡过去了。小伙子和他的好朋友都为姑娘的离去感到罪恶和自责。之后他们几乎不会提到这件事了－ 只是尝试去忘记。他们也从来不提及她，和永远也不能再真正地爱上任何一个姑娘的事实。因为无论如何，他们总能感到危险，就像在薄冰上行走，一旦滑倒，就再也怕不起来了。
矛盾的心理反复鞭策着小伙子，一方面是自己年幼无知的托词， 还有一边是不争的事实和良心的拷问
。。。
我们在渐渐长大，可是每当我们迈出脚步，新的机会和挑战在我门面前时，我们首先却只是个freshmen。而不断的汲取养料，学习和成长使我们丢弃freshmen的幼稚，面对成人所应该有的责任感。我想每个在成长中的人都会被这首歌感动吧
