沒想到我那麼快又翻了Charlie Puth的歌曲，昨天在網路上聽到了釋出的幾首新歌，這一首的曲風令我眼睛為之一亮。
有點異國風情的旋律，和輕快明瞭的歌詞，讓我喜歡上這首曲子。
River在這首歌當然不是字面上「河流」的意思，我認為應該是指他的愛人，而她如同流水一般想快速離開自己身邊，因此男方想極力挽留。
英文翻譯小教室：
以後會在翻譯的歌詞中列出一些特別的單字跟用法，提供大家吸收跟討論，請眼尖的各位若發現錯誤，敬請不吝賜教。
1. play it cool (phr.) 這個片語的意思是，形容一個人將內心的想法隱藏，用冷淡平靜的態度表現給對方看，但也許他內心非常澎湃洶湧~~~~
2. different view (n.) 意思就是「不同的意見；歧見」。
3. look up (phr.) 這個片語常見的意思是「查字典」對吧？然而還有一個常用的意思，就是「形容事態正在好轉、有起色」。
4. Don't you + VR 這個句型常常出現在口語上，等於"Please don't VR"，亦即「拜託不要......」的意思。
