以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Anna knew She had to have a new pair of shoes today
安娜知道 今天必须买双新鞋
And Carlo had helped her try on every pair in the store
卡洛帮她试遍了店里每一双
Carlo spoke wearily Well that's it
卡洛疲惫地说 就这样吧
That's every pair of shoes in the place
店里所有鞋款都试过了
Oh you must have one more pair
哦 你们肯定还有别的款式
No not one more Well
不 真的没有了 不过...
We have the cruel shoes but no one would want to try
我们有双"残酷之鞋" 但没人愿意尝试
Yes let me see the cruel shoes
好啊 让我看看那双"残酷之鞋"
No you don't understand you see the cruel shoes are
不 你不明白 看啊 这双残酷之鞋是
Get them
快拿来
Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment
卡洛消失在里屋片刻
And then reappeared carrying an ordinary shoebox
随后捧着个普通鞋盒重现
He took off the lid and re-moved
他揭开盒盖取出
A hideous pair of black and white pumps
一双骇人的黑白高跟鞋
But this was not an ordinary pair of black
但这并非寻常的黑白配
And white pumps; both were left feet
两只都是左脚的鞋
One had a right angle turn with
一只鞋呈直角转弯
Sepa-rate compartments
分隔成多个隔间
That pointed the toes in impossible directions
将脚趾扭曲至不可能的角度
The other shoe was six inches long and
另一只鞋仅有六英寸长
Was curved inward like a rocking chair
向内弯曲如摇椅般
With a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place
配有虎钳与刀片固定脚掌
Carlo spoke hesitantly
卡洛迟疑地开口
Now you see they' re not fit for humans
你看 这根本不是给人穿的
Put them on me
给我穿上它们
But Put them on me
快 给我穿上它们
Carlo knew all arguments were useless
卡洛知道争辩已无意义
He knelt down before her and
他跪在她面前
Forced the feet into the shoes
将她的脚硬塞进鞋中
The screams were incredible
惨叫声令人毛骨悚然
Anna crawled over to the mirror
安娜爬向镜子
And held her bloody feet up where she could see
举起鲜血淋漓的双脚端详
I like them
我喜欢这双鞋
She paid Carlo and crawled
她付钱给卡洛 蹒跚爬行
Out of the store into the street
挪出商店来到街上
Later that day
那天稍晚时分
Carlo was overheard saying to a new customer
有人听见卡洛对新顾客说
Well that's it That's every pair of shoes in the place
这就是店里所有的鞋了
Unless of course you'd like to try the cruel shoes
除非...你想试试那双残酷之鞋
