我挑起了我無力解決的事端 I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH - The Smiths 歌詞翻譯

我挑起我無力解決的事端1 I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH 歌詞翻譯

小徑寂靜
The lanes were silent

無人也無物 方圓百哩內什麼都沒有
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles

我澆熄了我們的友誼
I doused our friendly venture

透過面無表情
With a hard-faced

吐露的三個字

Three-word gesture

-

是我主動先開始的
I started something

把你逼到牆角
I forced you to a zone

而你其實根本
And you were clearly

也從來不是這麼想的
Never meant to go

瀏海上梳、旁分
Hair brushed and parted

一樣的我 一樣的我 一樣的我
Typical me, typical me/ Typical me

雖然是我自己先主動的
I started something

⋯⋯但我現在動搖了
...And now I'm not too sure

我透過本能抓住你2
I grabbed you by the guilded beams

而這正符合傳統

Uh, that's what tradition means

-

現在我又毀了另一種關係
And I doused another venture

透過另一種吐露
With a gesture

我想⋯⋯這可真是罪惡
That was... absolutely vile

-

是我主動先開始的
I started something

把你逼到牆角
I forced you to a zone

而你其實根本
And you were clearly

也從來不是這麼想的
Never meant to go

瀏海上梳、旁分
Hair brushed and parted

一樣的我 一樣的我 一樣的我
Typical me, typical me/ Typical me

雖然是我自己先主動的
I started something

⋯⋯但我現在動搖了
...And now I'm not too sure

我透過本能抓住你
I grabbed you by the guilded beams

而這正符合傳統

Uh, that's what tradition means

-

現在歷經十八個月的苦役3
And now eighteen months' hard labour

我想⋯⋯也夠了吧
Seems... fair enough

-

I started something

I forced you to a zone

And you were clearly

Never meant to go

Hair brushed and parted

Typical me, typical me

Typical me

I started something

...And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams

Uh, that's what tradition means

The shittest video i saw lately...:

1. "I started something I couldn't finish" 標題譯為「挑起無力解決的事端」，而曲中的 "I started something" 則譯為是「我主動的」；兩者當然亦指同件事情（這首歌一般被解釋為男同性戀者向女性好友求愛，希望躲進異性戀關係中；這邊便在描述原先友好關係的異化），但前者強調的是賓語，而後者強調的則是主詞的所為（我「開始」的），故在此有較為不同的譯文出來。
2. grabbed you by the "guilded beams"：guilded beams，或許是 guided beams 的筆誤，意指導向梁，一工程器具。但仍令人迷惑。
3. hard labour: may just be another Wilde reference.
