回复：『T.S. 89』滚石文章翻译：为TS的115首歌排名（并附评价）

41. "Bette Davis Eyes" (2010)
Her kickiest left-field cover, from Speak Now Live. "I'dlove to play you some music that I'm a fan of that's come from L.A. – is thatOK?" she asks the West Coast crowd, strumming her guitar. "This onecame out in 1981 – eight years before I was born!" Virtually nobody seemsto recognize it or sing along. Kim Carnes hit Number One with "Bette DavisEyes," but it was written by the great Jackie DeShannon, the onlysongwriter to collaborate with both Randy Newman and Jimmy Page. (Page wrote"Tangerine" for DeShannon!) The fact that Swift loves this classicode to romantic espionage explains a lot.
Best line: "She's pure as New York snow/She's got Bette Davis eyes."
来自Speak Now Live专辑的翻唱，也是她最活泼的一首。她扫着吉他弦，问西海岸的观众：“我想给你们唱几首LA音乐人的歌，我是他们的粉丝哦。可以吗？这首歌是1981年出的，比我出生年份还早八年。”看起来现场没有人知道这首歌，也没有人跟着唱。KimCarnes以这首歌登顶，但这首歌的作者是Jackie DeShannon，她是唯一一个和Randy Newman, Jimmy Page都合作过的人(Page为DeShannon写了Tangerine)。 Swift喜欢这首献给间谍浪漫的颂歌能解释很多问题。

40. "Wonderland" (2014)
Why did it take her five albums to get to Alice in Wonderland?Needless to say, Taylor Alison Swift fits right in on the other side of thelooking glass, with white rabbits and Cheshire cats. Feed your head!
Best line: "It's all fun and games till someone loses theirmind."
为什么到了第五张专辑才开始用爱丽丝漫游仙境的素材？不过不用说，TaylorAlison Swift与镜子那一边的世界非常相称，与白兔和柴郡猫也都很和谐。Feedyour head!
【最后一句话是Jefferson Airplane的歌White Rabbit里面的歌词，歌词借用了爱丽丝梦游仙境和镜中奇遇的梗，讲述了嗑 药之后探寻奇妙世界的感受。所以这句话大概的意思其实就是吸 毒，放在这个语境里可能是想说Wonderland很让人着迷？】

38. "Wildest Dreams" (2014)
You rang, Goth Taylor? At first this might have seemed like a minorpleasure on 1989, but it really sounds stronger and stronger over theyears, especially when she hiccups the words "my last request ih-ih-is."The video features giraffes and zebras.
Best line: "He's so tall and handsome as hell/He's so bad, but hedoes it so well."
是你吗，哥特风Taylor?一开始这首歌可能并不突出，但是这么些年过去了，这首歌却越来越好听，特别是她像是打嗝一样地唱出"my lastrequest ih-ih-is." MV的配角是长颈鹿和斑马。

37. "White Horse" (2008)
Teen Romantic Tay meets Bitter Adult Tay in a superbly disenchantedbreakup ballad that gives up on princesses and fairy tales.
Best line: "I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet/Lead up thestairwell."
怀有浪漫情怀的青少年Tay在一首不那么迷人的分手抒情歌中遇上了尝到爱情苦涩的成年Tay，于是放弃了对公主与童话的执念。

36. "Starlight" (2012)
"Oh my, what a marvelous tune" seems like a dauntingly quaintchorus, yet she makes it stick, in what sounds like an F. ScottFitzgerald-themed whirlwind romance. That hook comes straight from the AC/DCplaybook (specifically, the opening lines of "You Shook Me All NightLong") – the sign of a truly sick pop scholar.
Best line: "We snuck into a yacht-club party/Pretending to be aduchess and a prince."
"Oh my, what a marvelous tune"看起来像是个让人却步的古怪副歌，她却hold住了。歌曲整体听起来像是菲茨杰拉德主题的跌宕起伏浪漫史。抓耳桥段灵感来自AC/DC乐队（确切的说，是来自"You Shook Me All Night Long"的首句），这更表明了她对流行乐的研究已达到学者级别。

35. "Picture to Burn" (2006)
The dawn of Petty AF Tay, as she serves her ex beatdown threats. Everyboy who ever complained when Taylor wrote about him – this is where youofficially got fair warning.
Best line: "Let me strike a match on all my wasted time."
极度小气的Taylor首次出现，在这首歌里她威胁道要把前任折腾得求饶。任何抱怨过Taylor写歌给他的男生，这就是对你的正式警告。

34. "Forever and Always" (2008)
She added this to Fearless at the last minute – just what thealbum needed. It's a blast of high-energy JoBro-baiting aggro on her mostanomalously shade-free album. "It rains in your bedroom" is a veryon-brand Tay predicament.
Best line: "Did I say something too honest? Made you run and hidelike a scared little boy?
她在最后关头把这首歌加入到Fearless专辑中，这也正是这张专辑真正需要的歌曲。这张专辑一反常态，很少shade别人的歌曲，而Forever& Always却是大肆向Joe Jonas发泄怒气的歌。"It rains in your bedroom"是非常Taylor的一种窘境描述。

33. "Back to December" (2010)
One of the rare ballads where she goes crawling back to an ex shetreated like dirt – and she's surprisingly effective in the role. Althoughbreaking into the guy's house is a little extreme. (If she's blocked by thechain on his door, that means she already picked the lock, right?) And sorry,but you're seriously dreaming if you think I'm bothering to Google the name ofthat Twilight guy, don't @ me.
Best line: "It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missingyou."
一首罕见的她卑微向自己辜负过的前任道歉认错的歌，让人吃惊的是她这个角色扮演的也很好。不过冲进人家家门还是有点极端的（如果她是被门上的锁链挡住的，那就意味着她已经把锁拆了对吗？）如果你真心实意地认为我会去google那个暮光男的名字 ，那你就大错特错了，别来烦我。

32. "The Best Day" (2008)
Her tribute to Mama Swift. A weapons-grade tearjerker and not to betrifled with in a public place. NSFW, unless you are a professional crier.
Best line: "You were on my side/Even when I was wrong."
她献给Mama Swift的歌。一首在公共场合听哭也不会被人嘲笑的终极催泪弹。不适合在工作场所听，除非你专业演哭戏的。

31. "The Story of Us" (2010)
You could credit this hit with single-handedly driving John Mayer out ofthe pop heartthrob business and into the Grateful Dead – which is just one ofthe things to love about it. Along with the Joey Ramone-style way she says,"Next chapter!"
Best line: "See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying tolook busy."
这首热单轻轻松松就把John Mayer 从少女梦中情人的行列中踢了出去，直直把他送往“感恩而死”（迷幻摇滚乐队，第一支在吸毒后即兴表演的乐队）——这只是这首歌的可爱之处其中之一。还有她用JoeyRamone的方式说出"Nextchapter!"也很迷人。

30. "How You Get the Girl" (2014)
She busts out her trusty acoustic guitar, teardrop stains and all, justto turn it into a beatbox.
Best line: "Stand there like a ghost shaking in the rain/She'llopen up the door and say 'Are you insane?'"
她把值得信赖的原声吉他，泪痕等等都搬了出来，组成了一首节奏鲜明的歌。

29. "Hey Stephen" (2010)
Loaded with classic girl-group flourishes, right from the opening"Be My Baby" drum beat. Plus, it begins and ends with her finesthumming solos. If she wanted to hum on every song, she could make that work.
Best line: "All those other girls, well, they're beautiful/Butwould they write a song for you?"
从开头"Be My Baby"般的鼓点就充满经典女子团体繁盛时期风格的一首歌，同时这首歌首尾都是她个人水平最高的哼唱。如果她想在每首歌里都哼唱几句，她也绝对能做到。

28. "Should've Said No" (2006)
A pissed-off highlight of the debut, with an Oasis-worthy chorus. Savorthe perfect Liam Gallagher way she milks the vowels of "begging forforgiveness at my fee-ee-eet."
Best line: "It was a moment of weakness, and you said yes."
首专中描述被气坏了的好歌，副歌可以送给绿洲去唱了。好好欣赏她在唱"beggingfor forgiveness at my fee-ee-eet."这句的时候是怎么用LiamGallagher的方式把元音唱到淋漓尽致的吧。

27. "Last Kiss" (2010)
Toward the end of Speak Now, when you're already wrung out fromsad songs and begging for mercy, this six-minute quasi-doo-wop ballad creeps upon you to inflict more punishment. One of those flawless Nathan Chapmanproductions – so sparse, so delicate, flattering every tremor of her voice.
Best line: "I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did."
快到Speak Now结尾处的时候，你已经听够了伤心情歌，希望她能放你一马，但是这首六分钟长的抒情歌却偷偷溜入耳朵，让你乞求能接受更多“惩罚”。这是NathanChapman的完美制作曲目之一，非常简洁精致，把她声音的每一处颤抖都烘托得恰到好处。
