廣東外語(yǔ)外貿(mào)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言文化學(xué)院05級(jí)學(xué)生，喜歡并且越來(lái)越喜歡英語(yǔ)。鐘愛(ài)于主流和非主流間的音樂(lè)，相信這些特別的音樂(lè)更能描繪這個(gè)世界和這個(gè)世界里人們樸實(shí)的內(nèi)心世界。愛(ài)擺弄原始的LOMO相機(jī)，或是用手機(jī)拍下感動(dòng)的每一刻。希望我的介紹會(huì)引起你的共鳴。

我聽(tīng)之我見(jiàn)：Suspended from class是一個(gè)情竇初開(kāi)的女孩在課堂上做的白日夢(mèng)。她喜歡上了一個(gè)男生，卻不敢跟他表白，于是在堂上做起白日夢(mèng)來(lái)。她說(shuō)他們可以做朋友；她說(shuō)他們可以一起去跳舞。但是，一切一切都只能藏在心里。

 中文歌詞：自信這首歌的譯文還不錯(cuò)！歡迎排磚哦！順便介紹歌中一俚語(yǔ)“Pigs might fly”，猜得出啥意思嗎？

Suspended from class    by  Camera Obscura

You’re such a beautiful writer
That’s not all you are
I’m sorry about making a pass
It was subtle but I think that you grasped
The meaning intended
 
I can be a friend to you
I won’t pretend
I’m not interested in breaking your heart
It’s not love no it’s nothing like that
I’ll leave that to lookers like him
Oh he’s such a delicate thing
Now it’s such a fragile thing that we have

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
 
We could go out dancing
But, in truth it is the last thing that I have on my mind
Just say if I’m way out of line

I won’t need telling twice

Now he wants to kiss
Said he can’t resist
You’re going to have to keep it hidden inside
I’ve a feeling that pigs might fly, might fly

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class

You’re such a beautiful writer
And that’s not all you are
I’m sorry about making a pass
It was subtle but I think that you grasped
The meaning intended

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
