Men Of Good Fortune
 
Men of good fortune
often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
often can't do anything at all
家财万贯者
常令帝国倾覆
而家境贫寒者
常一事无成
 
The rich son waits for his father to die
the poor just drink and cry
And me, I just don't care at all
富人的儿子就等着他爸死
穷人只有酗酒和以泪洗面
而我，管不了这许多
 
Men of good fortune
very often can't do a thing
While men of poor beginnings
often can do anything
家财万贯者
往往一事无成
而家境贫寒者
常样样都能做
 
At heart they try to act like a man
handle things the best way they can
They have no rich daddy to fall back on
内心里他们力图表现得像个人
竭尽所能以他们最好的方式处理事情
他们没有有钱的老爸可仰仗
 
Men of good fortune
often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
often can't do anything at all
家财万贯者
常令帝国倾覆
而家境贫寒者
常一事无成
 
It takes money to make money they say
look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
Anyway, it makes no difference to me
为挣钱需要花钱，他们说
看看福特家族，他们不就是那么起步的
算了吧，这对我没什么分别
 
Men of good fortune
often wish that they could die
While men of poor beginnings
want what they have and to get it they'll die
家财万贯者
常想一死了之
而家境贫寒者
想要家财万贯且不惜以死相求
 
All those great things that life has to give
they wanna have money and live
But me, I just don't care at all
所有那些需要搭上性命的伟大事业
他们要有钱有生活
但我，爱谁谁了

Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
家财万贯者
家境贫寒者
家财万贯者
家境贫寒者
家财万贯者
家境贫寒者
家财万贯者
家境贫寒者
 
 
Men Of Good Fortune是Lou Reed 1973年专辑《Berlin》中第三首。从Wikipedia上看到说这首歌早在1966年就在the Velvets的现场演出中出现，说有一张记录乐队在Andy Warhol的“梦工厂”的现场演出的档案CD，里面就有早期版本的Men Of Good Fortune，但这CD是不卖的，想听只能去宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市的Andy Warhol博物馆。
