你什么都没有 却还为我的梦加油

「说好不哭」

Won't Cry

Lyrics: Vincent Fang

词：方文山

Song: Jay Chou

曲：周杰伦

没有了联络

We lost contact

后来的生活 我都是听别人说

说你怎么了 说你怎么过

but I’ve heard so much about you

about how you have been

放不下的人是我

I’m the one who couldn’t let go

人多的时候 就待在角落

I try to stay away from the crowd

就怕别人问起我 你们怎么了

I’m afraid they would ask what happened between us

你低着头 护着我连抱怨都没有

You never complained, but silently stood by my side

电话开始躲 从不对我说

不习惯一个人生活

Then you started to ignore my calls

never mentioning how hard it is to be alone

离开我以后 要我好好过

怕打扰想自由的我

You decided to leave

so that I can move on and live the way I want

都这个时候 你还在意着

别人是怎么怎么看我的

We’ve been through too much

and you still care about how they think of me

拼命解释着 不是我的错 是你要走

Explaining that it’s not my fault

you’re the one who wanted to leave

眼看着你难过 挽留的话却没有说

I left you sadly alone

without even trying to get you back

你会微笑放手 说好不哭让我走

You said you will let go

and you won't cry

电话开始躲 从不对我说

Then you started to ignore my calls

不习惯一个人生活

never mentioning how hard it is to be alone

离开我以后 要我好好过

怕打扰想自由的我

You decided to leave

so that I can move on and live the way I want

都这个时候 你还在意着

别人是怎么怎么看我的

We’ve been through too much

and you still care about how they think of me

拼命解释着 不是我的错 是你要走

Explaining that it’s not my fault

you’re the one who wanted to leave

眼看着你难过 挽留的话却没有说

I left you sadly alone

without even trying to get you back

你会微笑放手 说好不哭让我走

You said you will let go

and you won't cry

你什么都没有 却还为我的梦加油

You don’t have much

but you’re still there to support my dreams

心疼过了多久 过了多久

还在找理由等我

After such a long time

you're still there waiting for me

Jay Chou's New Song “Won't Cry” Sells 2 Million Copies in First Hour, Downs Major Streaming Service

RadiiChina

Jay Chou dropped his first new music in a year last night at 11pm China time, and the Chinese internet promptly flipped out. The new track, a piano-propelled song called “Won't Cry” which features fellow Mandopop megastar Ashin from Mayday, shifted 2 million copies in its first hour — and the numbers have only gotten more mind-boggling since then.

flip out

表示“（因惊讶或震惊而）勃然大怒，失去自我控制；乐死了；失控；疯掉”，英文解释为“to become extremely angry or to lose control of yourself from surprise or shock”举个🌰：

I nearly flipped out when she told me she and David were getting married.

当她告诉我她跟戴维要结婚了的时候，我差一点气疯了。

promptly

表示“迅速地，立即地；依照预定时间地”，英文解释为“quickly, without delay, or at the arranged time”举个🌰：

We try to answer readers' letters as promptly (= quickly) as we can.

我们努力尽快答复读者来信。

megastar

megastar：a very famous singer or actor 巨星，超级明星，指非常有名的歌手或演员。

mega-表示“非常大的；给人深刻印象的；十分令人愉快的”，英文解释为“very big and impressive or enjoyable”举个🌰：

Their first record was a mega hit.

他们的第一张唱片十分走俏。

shift

熟词僻义，表示“（尤指大量）销售，出售”，英文解释为“to sell a product, especially a lot of it”举个🌰：

The store shifted over 2,333 copies of the book last week.

这本书上周在这家书店里售出了2,333多册。

mind-boggling

表示“令人难以想象的；十分惊人的”，英文解释为“extremely surprising and difficult to understand or imagine”举个🌰：

She was paid the mind-boggling sum of ten million dollars for that film.

那部电影她的片酬达到了上千万英镑的天文数字。

The duo's track was even blamed for a temporary outage on one of China's biggest streaming platforms, QQ Music.

duo

表示“搭档；一对表演者”，英文解释为“two people who perform together or are often seen or thought of together”，如：the comedy duo Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue 岳云鹏和孙越这对喜剧搭档。

Those 2 million copies sold across streaming platforms QQ Music, Kugou, and Kuwo in the first hour of being online earned the song 11 million RMB (1.5 million USD). Just 40 minutes later, “Won't Cry” was doing such good numbers that it was already in the top 8 tracks for the year.

It's further proof that there's still plenty of pop life left in the 40 year-old Chou, despite numerous “little fresh meat” pretenders to his Mandopop throne. In late July, his fans won an epic online beef against supporters of young gun Cai Xukun, and once again today social media is being absolutely swamped by mentions of Jay — despite him not even having an official personal account on key platforms such as Weibo.

pretender

表示“（头衔）妄想者，觊觎者；觊觎王位（高位）者”，英文解释为“a person who states they have a right to the high position that someone else has, although other people disagree with this”，如：the pretender to the English throne 觊觎英国王位者。

beef

熟词僻义，除了表示牛肉，还可以指什么呢？

1）表示“抱怨；怨言”，英文解释为“a complaint”举个🌰：

My main beef about the job is that I have to work on Saturdays.

我对这份工作最大的不满是周六还得干活儿。

2）表示“力量，力气”，英文解释为“strength, power, or force”举个🌰：

Push harder! Put some beef into it!

再用点力推！加把劲！

young gun

表示“（尤指男性）青年才俊；年轻精英”，英文解释为“You can use young guns to talk about people, especially young men, who have lots of energy and talent, and are becoming very successful.”

类似的，big/top gun表示“大人物，头号人物”，英文解释为“someone who is very important within an organization”举个🌰：

Jed wanted to impress a Harvard professor and some other big guns.

杰德想给一位哈佛教授以及其他几位大人物留个好印象。

swamp

本义是淹没，浸没（to cover a place or thing with a large amount of water），还可以表示“充斥，席卷，使应接不暇”，英文解释为“If something swamps a person, system, or place, more of it arrives than can be easily dealt with.”举个🌰：

He is swamped with work.

他工作正忙得不可开交。

Don't let feelings of depression swamp you.

不要被沮丧的情绪击垮。

Jay Chou was one of a number of Taiwanese stars to dominate the charts in mainland China throughout the ’00s and his hits — many of them, like “Won't Cry” composed together with Vincent Fang — still have a special place in the hearts of China’s millennial pop fans.

compose

表示“ 作曲；创作（音乐）”，英文解释为“to write music”举个🌰：

Mozart composed his last opera shortly before he died.

莫扎特在创作出他最后一部歌剧后不久便去世了。
