the night still young 学习英文

the night is still young, is a common line you hear in movies, such as “stay as you are”

喜欢这句, 就写了几行,

The night still young in the rearview mirror

I wander along route 66 in my torch red Corvette.
Her headlights create a tunnel in the dark and foggy night,
and my convertible is a moving cage protecting its knight.
My fingers hold on to the warmth from the dying cigarette.
My eyes hunger for the light,
from the full moon silver and bright.
I stare at the moon and look for my silhouette,
and dreams that I clung to tight.
But the moonlight is too harsh for my eyes,
I turn to the rearview mirror quiet and gentle,
and see the rising moon in the creamy sky.
A nightingale flies in and cruises its treble,
singing a song that warms the moon light,
and gives my torch red Corvette wings to fly high.

one comment-A flight of fantasy much enjoyed with eloquent words to equip "the torch red Corvette wings to fly high"

 

后来贴在买买提, 一位老哥善意的提醒俺去查一下 red corvette 的意思, 俺一谷歌, 懵圈了, 原来 prince 有一首很有名的歌, 叫 

 

Little Red Corvette 


I guess I shoulda known
by the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
that believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and...

公认的解读是 

Little red corvette is a metaphor for Vagina and I think it's Prince's favorite car. He's metaphorically talking about having sex with a very promiscuous woman. This is my favorite song by him. May he Rest In Peace.

现在想来也许那位读者以为俺懂 red corvette 的含义

 

PS: highly recommend the movie "stay as you are", you will see the goddess fantansied by the boys in the 80es in China LOL
