Look, we all know our queen writes great songs about boys and heartbreak,
我们都知道霉霉写了很多关于男孩和心碎恋情的好歌，
but she also writes great songs about her relationship with the media, and her reputation,
但她也写了关于她与媒体的关系， 以及她的声誉的好歌，
which coincidentally is the name of the album our first song today comes from.
而“声誉”也是收录了我们今天第一首歌的专辑的名称。
I'm going to explain some of my favourite Taylor Swift lyrics that are about her reputation and her relationship with the press.
我将介绍一些我最喜欢的泰勒·斯威夫特的歌词，这些歌词是关于她的声誉以及她与媒体的关系。
Lyric number one today is "Look what you made me do, look what you made me do, look what you made me."
今天的第一句歌词是“看看你让我做了什么，看看你让我做了什么，看看你让我变成了什么”。
The lyrics seem quite simple, but they're not.
歌词看似简单，实则不然。
"Look what you made me do" implies that she did something she didn't want to.
“看看你让我做了什么”意味着她做了一些她不想做的事。
"Look what you made me" shows that she turned into something else, like she stopped trusting people as much.
“看看你让我变成了什么”表明她变成了别的样子，比如她不再那么信任别人了。
The simple addition of omitting or adding just that one word "do" changes the meaning of the sentence completely.
省略或添加do这一个词就会完全改变句子的意思。
The play on words is brilliant and so very catchy. Of course.
这个文字游戏非常精彩，当然也朗朗上口。
Lyric number two.
第二句歌词。
You need to calm down. You're being too loud.
你需要冷静下来。你太吵了。
This song was written about the fight she had with the rapper Kanye West and his ex wife Kim Kardashian.
这首歌是关于她与说唱歌手坎耶·韦斯特和他的前妻金·卡戴珊之间的争吵。
When the media responded to how she talked about that, and said that she was being too much, she was being too loud, and they told her to calm down.
媒体对于她谈论这件事的回应是，说她太过分了、太吵了，她需要冷静下来。
"Calm down" means to relax or be less angry about the situation.
Calm down表示放松或对事情不要那么生气。
The "being too loud" part could be taken figuratively or literally.
“太吵了”可以是比喻，也可以是字面意思。
Literally, you're being too loud. You're making too much noise,
字面意思是你声音太吵了。你发出了太多声音，
Or figuratively, like I said before, you're being too much, too extra.
或者比喻意思，就像我前面说的，意思是你太过分了，太夸张了。
Too loud is often used against members of the LGBTQ+ community.
“太吵了”经常被用来针对LGBTQ+ 群体。
And in fact, Taylor references GLAAD, a society that fights for LGBTQ+ rights, in this song.
事实上，泰勒在这首歌中提到了同性恋反诋毁联盟，这是一个为LGBTQ+权利而战的社群。
And she has the cast of Queer Eye in the video.
而且综艺《粉雄救兵》的成员出演了她的音乐视频。
So this song became somewhat of an anti-hate anthem.
所以这首歌在某种程度上成了一首反仇恨的颂歌。
What an icon!
真是个伟大偶像！
Lyric number three is one of the first songs that made me pay attention to Taylor.
第三句歌词是让我最先开始关注泰勒的歌曲之一。
Shake it off. Shake it off.
甩掉吧，甩掉吧。
Here again, she's talking about her relationship with the media and about how the media loves to criticise her, but she's not gonna let it bother her.
在这里，她再次谈到了她与媒体的关系，以及媒体如何喜欢批评她，但她不会让这些批评困扰自己了。
She's gonna forget about it and continue with her life.
她会忘掉这些批评，继续自己的生活。
The final lyric we'll talk about today is is...
今天我们要讲的最后一句歌词是……
New money, suit and tie. I can read you like a magazine.
新贵公子，西装革履。我可以像读杂志一样读懂你。
Ain't it funny? Rumours fly and I know you heard about me.
流言蜚语，岂不有趣？我知道你曾听闻我名。
Sing with me!
和我一起唱吧！
"New money, suit and tie" refers to superficial material thingsbecause the press say that her relationships have no depth.
“新贵公子，西装革履”指的是肤浅的物质的东西，因为媒体说她的恋情没有深度。
They're just superficial.
非常肤浅。
So she's responding to that.
所以她对此做出了回应。
When she says I can read you like a magazine, she's directly referring to a form of media here, which is clever,
当她说“我能像读杂志一样读懂你”时，她直接提到了一种媒体形式，这很聪明，
but she's also talking about the fact that she can read her potential lover.
但她也在谈论她能读懂她的潜在爱人。
Like, she can just look at that person and know what they're thinking or know how they're feeling.
她只是看着那个人，就能知道他们在想什么，或者知道他们的感受。
Ain't it funny? Rumours fly.
流言蜚语，岂不有趣？
"Ain't" here is like a spoken word of isn't, and it comes from AAVE, African-American Vernacular English.
Ain't是isn't的口语说法，来自AAVE，也就是非裔美国人的方言英语。
And it's in a lot of songs, and Taylor's are no exception.
很多歌里都有这个词，泰勒的歌曲也不例外。
Rumours fly is a strong collocation about how news, especially gossip or rumours, get told again and again.
流言蜚语满天飞是一个语气很强的搭配，描述了新闻，尤其是八卦或谣言，如何被一遍又一遍地讲述。
And that's why she says I know you've heard about me because Taylor is often the topic of gossip columns.
这就是为什么她说“我知道你听说过我”，因为泰勒经常是八卦专栏的话题。
Many Swifties believe that because Travis Kelce is her thirteenth boyfriend, there are no more blank spaces.
许多霉霉粉丝认为，因为特拉维斯·凯尔西是她的第十三任男朋友，所以不会再有给其他人的空白区了。
So she'd have no more names to write, as in he's endgame.
她不会再写下其他人的名字了，凯尔西就是最后一局。
So did I leave out any of your favourite Taylor lyrics?
那么我有没有遗漏你最喜欢的泰勒的歌词呢？
Write them in the comments and we'll have a singalong later on.
请写在评论里，稍后我们一起唱。
