本期介紹的歌曲《Attention》，是一首流行搖滾、節(jié)奏藍(lán)調(diào)風(fēng)格的歌。這首歌曾霸占各大音樂排行榜首，很受歌迷喜歡。感謝友友“?！蓖扑]這首歌！之前曾打算學(xué)唱一下，但覺得難度不小就放棄了，這次友友建議出一期推送，我也嘗試唱了一下，算作拋磚引玉。
1. 歌曲及歌手簡(jiǎn)介
《Attention》是美國(guó)當(dāng)紅歌星 Charlie Puth（查理·普斯）演唱的一首歌曲，發(fā)行于2017年4月21日 ，收錄于 Charlie Puth 2018年5月11日發(fā)行的錄音室專輯《Voicenotes》中。歌曲的故事講述了一個(gè)被女生迷暈的男生內(nèi)心的波動(dòng)，讓我們了解到男生也不是完全理性的，就像歌曲里的男生明知被利用還是為對(duì)方著迷。這首歌曲的歌詞寫得生動(dòng)深刻，入心入肺，觸動(dòng)情懷。
Charlie Puth是一位受歡迎的美國(guó)流行歌手和詞曲作者。他通過(guò)在YouTube頻道上發(fā)布自己的原創(chuàng)歌曲和封面而開始成名。在他的才華被曝光后，他被Ellen DeGeneres（美國(guó)主持人、演員）簽約成為一家唱片公司，從而開啟了他的正式職業(yè)生涯。他的首張錄音室專輯于2016年1月由美國(guó)唱片公司Atlantic Records發(fā)行。盡管它受到了評(píng)論家的負(fù)面評(píng)價(jià)，但在《公告牌》雜志發(fā)布的《公告牌200》中，它的排名達(dá)到了第6位。他創(chuàng)作、共同制作并演唱了Wiz Khalifa的嘻哈歌曲《See You Again》的副歌，收錄于電影《速度與瘋狂7》的配樂中。該曲獲得了巨大的成功，在全球近90個(gè)國(guó)家位居第一，還登上了美國(guó)公告牌熱門100強(qiáng)、Shazam、iTunes和Spotify的榜首，無(wú)疑成為他職業(yè)生涯中最重要的作品之一。根據(jù)Charlie的說(shuō)法，他的家庭背景并不富裕，在他的童年時(shí)期，他的家庭不得不努力維持收支平衡。他非常感激父母，他們的努力幫助他實(shí)現(xiàn)了音樂目標(biāo)。作為一名歌手，同時(shí)也是一名制作人、詞曲作者和樂器演奏家，Charlie Puth絕對(duì)是一位多才多藝的名人。（編譯: 輝）
國(guó)內(nèi)粉絲稱Charlie Puth為斷眉哥。兩歲時(shí)，Puth的右眉在一次幾乎致命的狗咬事件中留下了永久的疤痕。

B. Lisa 翻跳版 由舞蹈老師Lisa以《Attention》為舞曲編排的舞蹈，曾一度流行網(wǎng)絡(luò)，并使這首歌又紅火了一把。
4. 歌詞及語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)解析attention [??ten?n] 主要用法：(1) n. [U] 注意；專心；留心；注意力; 興趣; 關(guān)注：catch one’s attention引起某人的注意; draw / attract attention 吸引注意；pay attention (to) 注意：Don't pay any attention to what they say. 別在意他們所說(shuō)的話。[C, 通常用復(fù)數(shù)] 殷勤；關(guān)心，注意區(qū)別：pay attentions to sb （向某恩獻(xiàn)殷勤）vs pay attention to sb (注意某人)；His constant attentions annoyed the girl. 他不斷地向姑娘獻(xiàn)殷勤，倒把姑娘惹惱了。[U] 特別照料（或行動(dòng)、處理）：special attention 特別關(guān)注，特殊照顧; medical attention 醫(yī)療處理；[U] (士兵) 立正姿勢(shì)：to stand at/to attention 立正站著；立正：Soldiers armed to the teeth stood at attention. 全副武裝的士兵們立正站著。(2) int. 注意；立正: (口令) Attention! 立正！同源詞：attend v. 出席；看護(hù)；attendant adj. 出席的；attendant n. 隨從；attentive adj. 注意的；關(guān)心的
You've been running round, running round, running round throwing that dirt all on my name，’cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up. 你總在四處兜圈，到處撒野，還把所有污名都扣我頭上，因?yàn)槟阄叶贾肋@樣的話我就會(huì)給你來(lái)電。
“running round”的不斷重復(fù), 是一種修辭手法, 除了旋律方面的要求以外，在歌曲里起到加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣, 增加感染力的效果。We walked on and on。(重復(fù)副詞on) 我們走啊走啊。They waited and waited until the night fell. (重復(fù)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞) 他們等啊等啊, 直到夜幕降臨。再如以下歌曲的歌詞：When we sway and turn around and round and round... 當(dāng)我們擺動(dòng)并不停旋轉(zhuǎn)著的時(shí)候...... (“Just One Last Dance”歌詞) And I'm rollin'，rollin'，rollin'，rollin'， with my brothers like it's Jonas, Jonas. 我不斷的打拼著，和我的兄弟一塊就像Jonas兄弟們。（“Better Now”歌詞）
dirt n. 在這里指“丑聞；流言飛語(yǔ)；下流話”，由詞義“污物/污垢”引申而來(lái)。例如：What's the dirt about your neighbors? 你的鄰居有什么丑聞可以說(shuō)說(shuō)？習(xí)語(yǔ)：dish the dirt (on sb) 說(shuō)（某人）的閑話；揭（某人）的短 (這里的“throw dirt on sb / sb's name”與其類似。) 例如：He dishes the dirt on his buddies. 他說(shuō)自己伙伴的閑話。treat sb like dirt 視某人如糞土；把…視為草芥；蔑視
... ’cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I’d be at one. ...... 因?yàn)槟阄叶济髁宋乙矔?huì)同時(shí)出現(xiàn)。
that I’d be at one (that I would be at one) 是主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞knew的賓語(yǔ)從句，would be為一般過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)形式，be at one 指be at one of the parties。
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret. 那身衣服是（對(duì)我的）報(bào)應(yīng)，而香水引起了我的悔意。
歌詞理解：這句歌詞大概是這首歌最難理解的一句，在目前出現(xiàn)的不同中文版本里，譯法不盡相同。事實(shí)上，這句話對(duì)一些英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的聽眾，理解起來(lái)也同樣需要歌曲的故事背景，以及對(duì)關(guān)鍵詞karma和perfume regret的推敲。karma，報(bào)應(yīng)，既是一個(gè)普通名詞，又是一美國(guó)女裝品牌（Karma卡瑪)。這里按照“報(bào)應(yīng)”理解，與后面的perfume regret（香水引起的遺憾）邏輯是一致的，即：那身衣服以及香水都使歌者想起過(guò)去的她，并且后悔與她分了手。但如果將karma理解為雙關(guān)語(yǔ)，包含兩方面的意思，也是成立的。以下是一些英文網(wǎng)頁(yè)上，網(wǎng)友對(duì)這句歌詞的理解及評(píng)論，供參考：
She's wearing nice clothes / perfume to make the person singing feel bad / to punish him (maybe because he did something wrong or because they stopped dating)
Perfume regret is meaning that the perfume she is wearing is going to make him regret breaking up with her.
Perfume regret is meaning that the perfume she is wearing is going to make him regret breaking up with her.
Answer from a native speaker, Rebecca: "perfume regret" in this song means that the smell of his ex-girlfriend's perfume will remind him of their relationship and make him regret breaking up with her.
The lyrics are a bit weird and not what someone would normally say.
karma [?kɑ?m?] n. (佛教和印度教) 羯磨，業(yè)（據(jù)信為可決定來(lái)生的個(gè)人善惡行為）; 善報(bào); 惡報(bào); 因果報(bào)應(yīng)：Vegetarians believe that eating meat is bad karma. 素食者認(rèn)為吃肉食是造惡業(yè)。You deserve it - it’s karma！你活該，因果報(bào)應(yīng)！
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine. 你總讓我不斷想起那些你屬于我的時(shí)候
get 做使役動(dòng)詞: 意思是"讓…，導(dǎo)致，致使"，后接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)，即賓語(yǔ)+賓補(bǔ), 賓補(bǔ)可以是不定式、形容詞、分詞、介詞短語(yǔ)等。例如: Don't get?your?hands dirty. 別把手搞臟了。Soon they got the fire burning. 不久他們就讓火著了起來(lái)。They?got?the?car?started. 他們把車發(fā)動(dòng)起來(lái)了。I can't get you out of my head. 我無(wú)法將你忘懷。
"when you were mine"是"thinking about"的賓語(yǔ)從句，相當(dāng)于the time when you were mine。
詞義辨析 - think of，think about 與 think over 的區(qū)別：

think over 意為“仔細(xì)考慮”; “認(rèn)真思考”，后接名詞或代詞作賓語(yǔ)。當(dāng)后接代詞時(shí)，應(yīng)把代詞放在over之前。如：Think over the matter and then make a decision. 這件事情斟酌斟酌再定。You should think over what may happen before you begin. 在你開始之前，應(yīng)該反復(fù)思考可能會(huì)發(fā)生的事情。Let me think it over. 讓我好好想一想。
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect. 而現(xiàn)在我亦是悉聽尊便，隨你所愿。
be all up on 這里表示“專注于, 全神貫注”: Recently he's all up on his project. 最近他一直在忙他的項(xiàng)目。

附英文網(wǎng)頁(yè)介紹供參考：
Charlie PuthBiography(Singer-Songwriter and Record Producer Known for His Singles 'See You Again’, and 'We Don't Talk Anymore’)Charles Otto "Charlie” Puth is a popular American pop singer and songwriter. He started gaining fame by posting his original songs and covers to his YouTube channel. After his talents were exposed to the world he was signed in by Ellen DeGeneres for a record label, which led to the start of his official career. His debut studio album was released in January 2016 by the American record label Atlantic Records. Even though it received negative reviews from critics it peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 published by the 'Billboard’ magazine. A deluxe edition was also released in November which contained three additional songs. Puth wrote, co-produced as well as sang the hook on Wiz Khalifa’s hip-hop anthem 'See You Again,’ included in the soundtrack of the motion picture 'Furious 7.’ It became a huge hit, reaching the No. 1 spot in nearly 90 countries worldwide. It also reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, Shazam, iTunes and Spotify, undoubtedly becoming one of the most important works of his career. According to Puth, his family background is not wealthy and during his childhood his family had to struggle to make both ends meet. He has expressed gratitude to his parents who worked hard to help him pursue his musical goals. Being not only a vocalist but also a producer, a songwriter, and an instrumentalist, Puth is definitely a multitalented celebrity.Childhood & Early LifeCharlie Puth was born on 2 December 1991, in Rumson, New Jersey, in the United States. His mother is Debra, a music teacher who has also written commercials for HBO, and his father is Charles Puth, a builder and real estate agent. They have three children, Charlie being the oldest one.
When he was only two years old, he survived a near fatal dog bite incident. However, his right eyebrow received a permanent scar.He attended the Holy Cross School and Forrestdale Middle School before he finally graduated from the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in 2010. During his school days he started playing the piano.Along with his regular schooling he attended the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College as a jazz piano major and a classical studies minor. With a major in music production and engineering, he finished his graduation in 2013 from the Berklee College of Music.According to Puth, he initially wanted to be a jazz player, but because of his parents who had an immense interest in pop, he started developing an interest in pop as well. He recorded and produced his own Christmas album when he was only in the sixth grade. By selling copies door to door in his town, he made $600, which he donated in the local church. Shortly after that, he started writing songs of his own and posted them to YouTube along with covers of other popular songs.CareerHe started his own channel in September 2009.
