Mingus Mingus Mingus

口是心非的流行樂代表, 就屬這 10CC 的芭樂曲!

I’m not in love, so don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase I’m going through
And just because I call you up,
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made

我沒愛上妳, 所以別忘了
這只是我一段可笑的時期罷了
我是打了電話給妳
可別就以為我要定了妳

又如:

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there
So don’t you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me

我掛了妳的照片在牆上
只是為了遮掩上面那難看的汙點
所以也別把照片要回去
我想妳知道它對我沒那麼重要

要了解文學裏的 "反語" (irony), 可從此開始。
