The Elements - Tom Lehrer
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Now if I may digress momentarily from the mainstream of this
请允许我暂时偏离今晚研讨会的主线话题
Evening's symposium

I'd like to
我想
Sing a song which is completely pointless
献唱一首毫无意义的歌谣
But is something which I picked up during my career
这是我在科研生涯中偶然习得的
As a scientist
作为科学家的
This may prove useful to some of you some day
或许某天能对诸位有所裨益
Perhaps in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances
在某些离奇古怪的情境之下
It's simply the names of the chemical elements
这不过是化学元素的名称罗列
Set to a possibly recognizable tune
配上或许耳熟的旋律哼唱
There's antimony arsenic aluminum selenium
锑砷铝硒依次登场
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
氢氧氮铼紧随其上
And nickel neodymium neptunium germanium
镍钕镎锗排列成行
And iron americium ruthenium uranium
铁镎钌铀接续亮相
Europium zirconium lutetium vanadium
铕锆镥钒跃然纸上
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
镧锇砹镭排排坐
And gold protactinium and indium and gallium
金镤铟镓齐列队
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium
碘钍铥铊手拉手
There's yttrium ytterbium actinium rubidium
钇镱锕铷来聚会
And boron gadolinium niobium iridium
硼钆铱铌肩并肩
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium
锶硅银钐排成行
And bismuth bromine lithium beryllium and barium
铋溴锂铍钡共舞
Isn't that interesting
元素周期多奇妙
I knew you would
我就知道你会来
I hope you're all taking notes
希望你们都做好笔记
Because there's going
因为下节课
To be a short quiz next period
会有一个小测验
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium
钬氦铪铒磷钫氟铽
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium
锰汞钼镁镝钪铈铯
And manganese and mercury molybdenum magnesium

These are the only ones of which
这些是仅有的那些
The news has come to Harvard
消息传到哈佛的元素
And there may be many others
或许还有许多其他
But they haven't been discovered
但尚未被发现的存在
Now may I have the next slide please
现在请展示下一张幻灯片
