以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
That she had gazed upon
那曾映照她容颜的镜面
The glass still held an image
镜中仍残留着影像
The glass still held an image
镜中仍残留着影像
But it was of a man
却是个陌生男人的脸
I turned from the reflection
我转身避开那倒影
To see who it might be
想看清究竟是谁
Is that poor vanity
可悲的虚荣在作祟
Quite how she pictures me
她眼中的我竟是这般模样
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
Rather than tell me "no"
而非直接道出拒绝
She let slip a handkerchief
她让手帕悄然滑落
Gentle laughter flowed
温柔笑意轻轻荡漾
Just as her lips bestowed
当她朱唇轻启时
A dashing word like "brother"
唤出那声"兄弟"
The crushing word like "friend"
道出那句"朋友"
If there was no beginning
若从未有过开始
How could this be the end
又怎会迎来结局
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
So I could recognise
让我得以看清
The distance from my heart to hers
从我心到她心的距离
The distance from my heart to hers
从我心到她心的距离
The pity in her eyes
她眼中的怜悯
She liked my pretty story
她喜欢我编织的故事
I thanked her for her song
我感谢她的歌声
And then I wrote a tale not very long to tell
随后写下寥寥数语的故事
"You are much more than pretty You are beautiful "
"你何止是美丽 你绝美无双"
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
But I saw her instead
镜中却映着她的身影
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
She handed me a mirror
她递给我一面镜子
And that is all she did
这便是她全部的回应
