They all laughed
让他们笑话吧
Writer(s): Gershwin/Gershwin
格什温词曲 (1937年,Ginger Rogers在电影中演唱)
The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights
were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the world had turned
命运给我的赌注是一百比一
全世界都说这梦不比天低
但密苏里的人们怎么说都没关系
噢,我根本不在乎
因为读过历史,我知道
一次次,一次次,风水流转不停息
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
他们曾笑话哥伦布他说世界是个圆球
他们曾笑话爱迪生他要把声音存长久
他们曾笑话莱特兄弟俩
竟说人也可上天去遨游
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
他们告诉马可尼
无线电根本是虚的
他们同样嘲笑我
异想天开竟爱上你
说你是明月我攀不上
可是,嘿,如今你却在我身边
这些人只好赶快把话风变
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
说什么我们不能真恩爱
有多少冷嘲热讽滚滚来
但是哈,哈,哈!
看看是谁笑到现在?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney
and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
他们笑话过洛克菲勒中心
现在却争着往里进
他们笑话过惠特尼
但是他发明了轧棉机
他们笑话过富尔顿汽船
还笑话过好时巧克力
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
福特和他的T型车
当年都让他们笑不停
这些人就只有这水平
他们还嘲笑我爱上你
说我们见面就要吹
可是,哈,如今你还在我身边
叫他们乖乖来赔罪
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?
说什么无缘对面难相拥
亲爱的,让我们一起来鞠个躬
因为哈,哈,哈!
到底谁笑到了最后?
嘿,嘿,嘿!
我们把过去放声笑
哈,哈,哈!
看一看,今儿个到底谁笑到终?
