這首歌傳達了女人何必為難女人,顯示原配委婉溫柔的溝通技巧——
喬琳,喬琳,喬琳,喬琳
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
哦,我求求你,請不要帶走我的男人
Oh, I'm begging of you please don't take my man
喬琳,喬琳,喬琳,喬琳
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
即使你可以,請不要帶走他
Please don't take him even though you can
你的美麗無與倫比
Your beauty is beyond compare
有著一綹火紅的赤褐色頭髮
With flaming locks of auburn hair
擁有象牙色的皮膚和翠綠色的眼睛
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
你的笑容就像春天的氣息
Your smile is like a breath of spring
你的肌膚如夏雨般柔軟
Your skin is soft like summer rain
我無法與你競爭,喬琳
And I can not compete with you, Jolene
而且我很容易理解
And I can easily understand
你怎麼能輕易奪走我的男人
How you could easily take my man
但你不知道他對我意味著什麼,喬琳
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
美国著名乡村歌手多莉·帕顿今天去世,享年80岁。川普总统下令全国下半旗一周致哀。八十年代初期,我刚从东北调到南方深圳时,就从当地转播的香港电视上看到她的演出,其形象靓丽,金发,豪乳,甜笑。后来看过她一部电影,她的表演很本色。保守派所以赞赏她,因她出生于美国南方田纳西的贫困家庭,靠自己的努力成为巨星。这种“乡村贫苦孩子个人奋斗”的美国梦叙事,非常符合保守派所强调的个人责任、自立和勤劳。而且多莉·帕顿很本土,很爱美国,是基督徒,一生只有一个丈夫,结婚59年。
她创作过3000多支歌曲,主题多是家庭、爱情、忠诚、工作、尊严。最著名的是I Will Always Love You(我将永远爱你)。经歌星惠特妮·休斯顿(电影《保镖》)演唱,成为国际名曲。
多莉·帕顿性格豪爽、幽默,又给人说话很直接、很土(南方口音)的形象,深受美国大众喜欢。她是跨越乡村、流行、福音、蓝草和影视的超级明星。
很多保守派认为,多莉·帕顿“是我们的人——乡村、基督教背景、勤劳、爱家庭、爱美国。”在保守派的红州,她尤其受欢迎。悼念多莉!
President Trump just ordered U.S. flags lowered to half-staff nationwide for a full week in honor of Dolly Parton.
That is extremely special. Presidential half-staff orders are almost always reserved for presidents, vice presidents, justices, members of Congress, governors, or major national tragedies. Pure entertainers and cultural icons almost never get a nationwide presidential directive like this!
Whitney Houston only got state-level recognition in New Jersey, and even Elvis didn’t receive a formal federal order of this scope.
A weeklong national tribute for the Queen of Country is genuinely rare. It underscores just how deeply her music, philanthropy, and larger-than-life presence cut across America.
