他们就这样造就了你，

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

你的父母，也许并非本意。

    They may not mean to, but they do.

他们将缺点强加于你，

They fill you with the faults they had

还增加一些，苦心孤诣。

    And add some extra, just for you.

不过造作他们自己也并无两样，

But they were fucked up in their turn

只不过更加土出了翔，

    By fools in old-style hats and coats,

一半时间作势装腔，

Who half the time were soppy-stern

一半时间信口雌黄。

    And half at one another’s throats.

人们将痛苦一代一代传递，

Man hands on misery to man.

像大陆一层一层深入海底，

    It deepens like a coastal shelf.

如有可能尽早脱离，

Get out as early as you can,

别再让孩子将苦难继续。

    And don’t have any kids yourself.
