All Too Well (10 Minuet Version)(Taylor's Version)(From The Vault)
Taylor Swift All Too Well
Taylor Swift 在2021年的11月秋天時發行了Re-record 版本的專輯-Red(Taylor’s Version)。收錄了廣為人知的I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together等熱門曲目，但是其中最特別的不過於長達10分鐘的 All Too Well。
All Too Well 講述了Swift 分手的傷痛，其中歌詞含有大量不常接觸的詞彙和其他具有文學意味的修辭，今天小編為大家整理了這首歌13處值得學習英文的地方
Sweet disposition
lyric: Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
Disposition的意思是性格，特徵，其同義詞就是character，characteristic。
Swift歌詞提到的Sweet disposition便是指與前任相識時對方溫柔體貼的性格
Patriarchy
Oath
lyric: You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
Got lost in translation
lyric: Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece ’til you tore it all up
lost in translation原本的意思是進行跨語言翻譯時，原始訊息或意義無法準確傳達或被誤解的情況。
但是lost in translation在這裡的意思其實就是雙方不能夠理解彼此，不斷誤會對方，其實意思就像是misunderstanding一樣。
Swift的All Too Well The Short Film中的男女主角在此時因為這個原因所以關係出現裂痕。
Crumpled-up
lyric:
So casually cruel in the name of being’ honest
I’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lying here
crumpled-up在這裡形容了紙張被揉成一團，弄皺，Swift在這裡形容自己就想紙張一樣被狠狠地揉成一團，在感情中被對方傷害得傷痕累累。
如果用作動詞的話，可以寫crumple something up.
例句: Sylvie crumpled up the letter and threw it in the bin.
西爾維把信揉成一團扔進了垃圾箱。
you call me up again just to break me like a promise和I’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lying’ here都使用了比喻(metaphor)
All's well that ends well
lyrics: They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new hell
Every time you double-cross my mind
all’s well that ends well的意思是當結局是美好的話，之前一切的辛酸都是值得的。這句說話是來自莎士比亞的同名的喜劇。
Double-cross
lyrics: They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new hell
Every time you double-cross my mind
Never-needy, ever-lovely
lyric: The idea you had of me, who was she?
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
Self-effacing
lyrics: You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
Sippin’ coffee like you’re on a late-night show
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin’ you to come And he said, “It’s supposed to be fun turning twenty-one”
self-effacing的意思就是不愛出風頭的，謙虛的，其同義詞有humble，modest
Paralyzed
lyrics:
Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still tryin’ to find it
Twin flame
lyric: And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
twin flame 是被用來描述一種極度深刻的靈魂連結。根據這個概念，每個人的靈魂在出生時被分裂成兩個部分，形成了一對互補且彼此共鳴的「雙生火焰」。大概的意思就像是soulmate的意思。
Maim
lyric: Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
maim的意思是重傷，是一個動詞，其同義詞有wound，hurt，Swift在這裡的意思就是作為命運安排的另一半可有在感情中，和自己一樣嚐到苦楚和惆悵。
Glisten
lyrics：’Cause in this city’s barren cold
I still remember the first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fell
I remember it all too well
glisten的意思就是閃閃發光，通常形容物件表面，例如眼淚，臉，而Swift在這裡的意思就是她很清楚記得那一場雪，雪花的表面閃爍的瞬間還在她腦海中。
