【歌词翻译】《史努比开心音乐会》(4)
大家好,今天我们继续翻译第一幕第四首歌曲。如果穿越回过去,你最想把什么告诉给那个当初的你?相信这个问题每个人都或多或少想过。通过思考这个问题,露西、莎莉、薄荷派蒂悟出了要珍惜当下的美好,过好每一天。

《我如今知道》
[I Know Now]

(对白)
露西:我希望有一位神秘的仰慕者
I wish I had a secret admirer
这个人愿意送鲜花给我
Someone who would send me flowers
愿意递纸条,送小礼物给我
And little notes and things like that
然后在出其不意间
And then all of a sudden
他会现身,告诉我他是谁
He would tell me who he was
莎莉:那么你得寻找你的下一个仰慕者了
Then you would need another secret admirer
薄荷派蒂:想什么呢,露西?(一种委婉语,用于和亲密的伙伴间交流想法)
A penny for your thoughts, Lucille?
露西:我正在想
I was just thinking
如果有一天我们能重头来过
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have your whole life to live over
你最想带回当下什么记忆?
If you knew what you know now?
薄荷派蒂:我现在哪知道这么多?
What do I know now
露西:也许只有少数有教养的人能够有资格回答这个问题
Probably very little patricia which is not however the case with me
比如说我
For instance thank you
我如今知道我生而美丽
I know now that being born beautiful
这让我对美貌格外珍视
Carries an awesome weight of responsibility

史努比:才怪
True!
莎莉:其他人是不是也对这个问题好奇呢?
Isn't anybody curious to know what I know now?
露西:与其说“好奇”,这是每个人要“直面”的问题
Well,I wouldn't say curious. Obligated is more like it
莎莉,说下去。你知道哪些?
Well go ahead Sally, What do you know?
