Love Minus Zero - Bob Dylan

Written by：Bob Dylan

My love she speaks like silence

我的爱人说话寂静如无声

Without ideals or violence

没有看似完美的思想，也没有激烈的言论

She doesn't have to say she's faithful

她不必说什么甜言蜜语

Yet she's true like ice like fire

她是如此的真诚，像寒冰，像烈火

People carry roses

人们总要捎上玫瑰

And make promises by the hours

随随便便就山盟海誓

My love she laughs like the flowers

我的爱人笑起来如鲜花绽放

Valentines can't buy her

情圣也倾倒不了她

In the dime stores and bus stations

在杂货店与汽车站

People talk of situations

人们正聊着当下的时局

Read books repeat quotations

他们阅览典籍，引经据典

Draw conclusions on the wall

到处发表自己的见解

Some speak of the future

一些人谈起了未来

My love she speak softly

我的爱人轻声细语

She knows there's no success like failure

她知道成功不是失败

And that failure's no succes at all

就像失败根本不是成功

The cloak and dagger dangles

挂进壁橱里的披风和短剑悬摆着

Madams light the candles

女主人点亮了蜡烛

In ceremonies of the horsemen

遵循着骑师的礼节

Even the pawn must hold a grudge

无名小卒也不免心存妒忌

Statues made of match sticks

那些火柴棒所制的雕像

Crumble into one another

瞬间崩塌，一片狼藉

My love winks she does not bother

我的爱人闪着眼睛，却默不作声

She knows too much to argue or to judge

她懂的太多了，所以从不作什么争辩或评论

The bridge at midnight trembles

午夜的大桥颤抖轻晃

The country doctor rambles

乡下的大夫在外闲逛

Bankers' nieces seek perfection

银行家的千金们寻求着如意郎君

Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring

期待智者们的所有礼物

The wind howls like a hammer

狂风的怒号像铁锤敲打

The night blows rainy

这个寒夜风雨交加

My love she's like some raven

我的爱人恰如一只折翼的渡鸦

At my window with a broken wing

在我的窗前，带着受伤的翅膀
