I don't know what it is,

我不知道为什么，

but I distrust myself

我会失去对自己的信任，

when I start to like a girl

当我非常喜欢一个女孩时。

     a lot.

这让我紧张。

It makes me nervous.

我说不出正确的话，

I don't say the right things

或者我开始

or perhaps I start

 审视，

     to examine,

      评估，

          evaluate,

           计算

               compute

我所说的一切。

     what I am saying.

如果我说，“你觉得要下雨了吗？”

If I say, "Do you think it's going to rain?"

而她说，“我不知道。”

and she says, "I don't know,"

我就会开始想：她真的喜欢我吗？

I start thinking: Does she really like me?

换句话说，

In other words

我变得有点吓人。

I get a little creepy.

我一个朋友曾经说：

A friend of mine once said,

“和一个人做朋友

"It's twenty times better to be friends

比爱上他们

     with someone

好二十倍。”

than it is to be in love with them."

我觉得他说得对，而且，

I think he's right and besides,

某个地方正在下雨，滋养着花朵，

it's raining somewhere, programming flowers

让蜗牛开心。

and keeping snails happy.

一切都不用我们操心。

     That's all taken care of.

但是——

               BUT

if a girl likes me a lot

如果一个女孩很喜欢我，

and starts getting real nervous

开始变得非常紧张，

and suddenly begins asking me funny questions

突然开始问我奇怪的问题，

and looks sad if I give the wrong answers

如果我给出错误的答案就显得悲伤，

and she says things like,

如果她说类似的话：

"Do you think it's going to rain?"

“你觉得要下雨了吗？”

and I say, "It beats me,"

而我说，“我不知道。”

and she says, "Oh,"

她说，“哦。”

and looks a little sad

看着加州湛蓝的天空，

at the clear blue California sky

显得有点悲伤时，

I think: Thank God, it's you, baby, this time

我想：谢天谢地，这次是你，宝贝，而不是我。

     instead of me.
