对于翻译不能一概而论，在直译最佳的情况下就必须用直译，在意译最佳的情况下就必须用意译，而且不同的文体适合使用不同的翻译方法，对于科技类翻译就不能太多使用意译。 对于歌词的翻译，别看用词简单，但要翻译出韵味并不容易，应该多用意译。所以原来的翻译值得商榷。
下面是我的翻译，共同交流： I never felt nothing in the world like this before 我从未有过这种感觉 Now I'm missing you 我是如此地想念你 I'm wishing that you would come back through my door 我是多么地希望你回到我身边 Why did you have to go? You could have let me know 你为何离去？你本该告诉我 So now I'm all alone, 我现在是多么地孤单 Girl you could have stayed 姑娘 你本该留下 but you wouldnt give me a chance 但你却不给给我机会 With you not around it's a little bit more than i can stand 没有你在身边 我的日子真难熬 And all my tears they keep running down my face 我只能以泪洗脸 Why did you turn away? 你为何离去？ [Bridge] So why does your pride make you run and hide? 你的自尊为何使你逃避和躲藏？ Are you that afraid of me? 是你害怕我吗？ But I know it's a lie what you keep inside 但我知道你心中藏着一个谎言 This is not how you wanted to be 这并不是你心中所想 [Chorus] So baby I will wait for you 宝贝 我将等着你 Cause I don''t know what else i can do 因为我不知道我还能做什么 Don't tell me I ran out of time 不要告诉我已经没有了时间 If it takes the rest of my life 即使这会耗费我的余生 Baby I will wait for you 宝贝 我将等着你 If you think I'm fine it just aint true 如果你认为我过的好 那你错了 I really need you in my life 我的生命里真的需要你 No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you 不论我得做什么 我将等着你 [Verse 2] It's been a long time since you called me 你已经很久没有打电话给我了 (How could you forget about me) 你怎么可以把我忘掉? You got me feeling crazy (crazy) 为了你我感快要疯了 How can you walk away, 你怎么可以离去? Everything stays the same 一切依然如故 I just can't do it baby 但我不能 宝贝 What will it take to make you come back 我要如何才能使你回到我身边? Girl I told you what it is it just ain't like that 姑娘 事情并非你所想的那样 Why can't you look at me, your still in love with me 我们依然相爱 但你为何不看我一眼 Don't leave me crying。
请不要让我为你哭泣 [Bridge] Baby why can't we just start over again 宝贝 我们为何不能重新开始 Get it back to the way it was 我们为何不能回到从前 If you give me a chance I can love you right 如果你给我机会 我会好好地爱你 But your telling me it wont be enough 但是你告诉我这并不足够 [Chorus] 。
。。。。。。。。。。 Baby I will wait for you 宝贝 我将等着你 If it's the last thing i do 即使这是我能做的最后一件事 。
