【夥伴們】聚餐的女人 The Ladies Who Lunch



JOANNE:
Here's to the ladies who lunch--
Everybody laugh.
Lounging in their caftans
And planning a brunch
On their own behalf.
Off to the gym,
Then to a fitting,
Claiming they're fat.
And looking grim,
'Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat.
Does anyone still wear a hat?
I'll drink to that.
我敬那些聚餐貴婦
大家都開心
躺在華貴長袍之中
自動相約著,要吃早午餐
然後去健身
接著要買衣
說著自己胖
表現如此冰冷
花上一整天
選著一頂帽子
這年頭還有人戴帽嗎
我先敬一杯



And here's to the girls who play smart--
Aren't they a gas?
Rushing to their classes
In optical art,
Wishing it would pass.
Another long exhausting day,
Another thousand dollars,
A matinee, a Pinter play,
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.
I'll drink to that.
And one for Mahler!
還有那些裝聰明的女生
難道不讓你發噱?
跑去上些視覺藝術的課
還想著拿學分
不過又是消耗光陰
不過又是大把鈔票
看齣戲、裝文青
或許會還聽聽馬勒
我再敬一杯
也敬馬勒

And here's to the girls who play wife--
Aren't they too much?
Keeping house but clutching
A copy of LIFE,
Just to keep in touch.
The ones who follow the rules,
And meet themselves at the schools,
Too busy to know that they're fools.
Aren't they a gem?
I'll drink to them!
Let's all drink to them!
還有那些扮賢妻的女生
難道都不會太超過嗎
黃臉婆還偷藏一本LIFE雜誌
試圖想跟上潮流
那些守傳統的
和那些去上學的
忙到自己不知道自己像個笨蛋
多麼寶貴!
我仍敬一杯
我們都一起敬他們一杯!

And here's to the girls who just watch--
Aren't they the best?
When they get depressed,
It's a bottle of Scotch,
Plus a little jest.
Another chance to disapprove,
Another brilliant zinger,
Another reason not to move,
Another vodka stinger.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I'll drink to that.
還有那些裝高尚的女生
她們最棒了吧?
當憂鬱來襲
來瓶威士忌
參點嘲諷調劑
又有機會拒絕別人
又有機會機智應對
又有機會故步自封
又能來杯毒刺調酒
啊!
我得敬一杯

So here's to the girls on the go--
Everybody tries.
Look into their eyes,
And you'll see what they know:
Everybody dies.
A toast to that invincible bunch,
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--
Everybody rise!
Rise!
敬那些還在的女生
大家都試試看
看進他們眼睛
就能把他們看穿:
沒一個活著
為那群無敵的女人敬辭
我們都是活過輾壓的恐龍
讓我們為了聚餐的貴婦舉杯
大家舉杯
舉杯!
舉杯!
舉杯!
舉杯!
