面對即將結束的全職學生生活並邁入下一階段人生的我,
有一首英文歌,
想獻給仍對自己現在生活乃至未來人生目標有所迷惘的所有青青學子與大人們:
“2 Days Into College” 。
這首簡單的歌曲,
帶有青春的洋溢雀躍卻又道盡年輕世代看待世界與感受新生活的不安,
在 Aimee 暖調的歌聲中,
她安慰自己與同樣正在經歷人生變化的人們:
「來則安之,我們仍有時間體驗和歸納自己陌生的感情與想法和未來規劃
~因為才入學第二天嘛!」
希望這首歌帶給現在面對動盪而不安的人一個定心錨,以時間換取空間,人生每個階段總是會經歷「剛入學的第二天」。
因為時候到了,一切都會水到渠成的。

翻譯歌詞:
I'm two days into college
我是經驗值2天的新鮮大學生,
And I'm three lectures behind
但3堂課就讓我出不了新手村⋯
There's this guy, let's name him Colin
有個代號叫「柯林」男孩,
He says he wants to be mine
他不久前跟我告了白,
But it doesn't really sit with me quite right
交往了,但我對他就是不怎麼來電,
'Cause he doesn't really like the things I like
因為我們的愛好不怎麼對頻。
And I keep accidentally locking myself out of
my dorm in the middle of the night
同時很惱人的是,我這幾天半夜一直粗心的把自己鎖在宿舍門外。
I wake up kinda wired
我起床就想發脾氣,
And I wake up kinda cold
我不想離開溫暖的被窩⋯
And I wake up kinda tired
我明明有睡覺但還是好想見周公⋯
But I'll just sleep in when I'm old
但還是等人老了再好好補眠吧!
See I don't like breaking rules
我啊~樂於待在舒適圈,
But don't like doing as I'm told
但又有不聽話的叛逆不羈,
So I just float around and keep my head down
所以我在人海中躺平飄蕩,
And hope my life unfolds
並祈禱不要被生活磨去稜角。
And everybody's telling me that I'm doing so well
每個人都說我在生活中破關斬將,
I try to trust them, honestly
我真的很想附和他們,
I find it hard to tell
但玩家我有苦說不出⋯
If I need work or I need rest
拼命工作與適當休息之中,
I try my best to try my best
我竭盡全力達到平衡。
I tell myself, I say out loud
感到辛苦時,我輕聲呢喃、我大聲疾呼,
It's fine, I'll figure it all out
說服自己:「沒問題的!這些都不算什麼!」
I tend to forget
但我總忘了,
I'm still only quite young
我才幾歲啊⋯!
In a way, this life of mine has only just begun
換句話來說,我的人生冒險旅程才剛開始吶。
I've got time
我還有時間練技⋯
I've got time
我還有時間升等。
I'm two days into college
我是2天經驗值的菜鳥大學生,
With a busy, busy mind
我思緒剪不斷理還亂。
That guy that we named Colin
那個代號「柯林」的男孩紙
He's so handsome, he's so kind
外貌帥氣、心地善良,
My friends tell me I'm crazy
朋友們說我真的是瘋了
Say I take it way too far
才會把他甩了。
'Cause I told him that it's over
因為我的分手理由是:
'Cause he doesn't play guitar
「這個天菜不會彈吉他」。
I'm only two days into college
我是個只有2天經驗的新手大學生,
And my bedroom is a mess
而且我的房間亂得像颱風過境。
There's just so much that I want to do
有太多太多支線任務我想做,
That I have not done yet
還有許多未知主線進度還沒過,
There's just so much that I want to say
仍有好多字句我還沒喉舌,
And far too little breath
但,我已經快喘不上氣了⋯
Oh, my mind it runs so far away
噢⋯我的思緒又飄遠了。
It's easy to forget
真的太容易忘記了,
That to everybody else, it looks like I'm doing so well
我是所有觀眾口中的「人生模範生」,
I try to see it, honestly
我也想看到那所謂的「模範獎狀」,
I find it hard to tell
但我看不到。
If I've done wrong or I've done right
啊隨便啦!不論結果是好是壞,
I need a good night's sleep tonight
誰都不能阻止我今晚好好的休息睡搞搞。
They said go out, I said alright
人們勸我踏出舒適圈,我說「好」,
I think I won't, I maybe might
但我真的想要嗎?可能想也可能不想。
I probably should just take it slow
我還是慢慢想吧~
I'll be all good
我還是會活得好好的。
But God I know
但神啊我是知道的,
The one thing that's important above everything else
我人生中最重要的功課
Is to learn not to put all this heavy pressure on myself
是「學習不要想著一次挑起人生全部的重擔」。
I try believe it when I say
所以,我試著改成叮嚀我自己:
"If it's meant to happen, it'll happen anyway"
「既來之,則安之。」
I'll be fine
水到渠成
I've got time
人生還有時間
I've got time
我還有時間
That's where I'm at
這就是我現在給祢的答案。
To be honest
因為啊⋯
Just two days
2天而已~
Two days into college
我是個才開學2天的大學新生罷了。
