Why Can't The English?

📝 纯歌词版本 

Higgins:
Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she utters.
By right she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.
Eliza:
Aaoooww!
Higgins:
Aaoooww!
Heavens, what a noise!
This is what the British population,
Calls an elementary education.
Pickering:
Come, sir, I think you picked a poor example.
Higgins:
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?
Man:
Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
Higgins:
No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike'!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse,
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
Chickens cackling in a barn,
Just like this one here.
Eliza:
Garn!
Higgins:
Garn!
I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aaoooww" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,why, you might be selling flowers, too!
Pickering:
I beg your pardon!
Higgins:
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him.
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get,
Oh, why can't the English learn to
set a good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scots and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely disappears.
In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian,
the Greeks are taught their Greek.
In France every Frenchman knows his language from "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly.
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning,
The Hebrews learn it backwards,
which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English and you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English,
Why can't the English,
Learn To Speak?

🌍 纯翻译歌词 

希金斯：
看看她，为什么挣扎在贫民窟里，
她说的每一个音节都如此刺耳。
按照语法就该被判处绞刑吊死，
就因为她对英语口音的冷血谋杀
伊莉莎：
嗷↓→→！（愤怒）
希金斯：
嗷↓↓↓→！（不屑）
天啊，多可怕的噪音。
这就是大英帝国所谓
人人称道的基础教育。
皮克林：
先生，我想你可能选了一个不太恰当的例子。
希金斯：
真的吗？
看看索霍区（伦敦最繁华的地区之一）上的人，
说话时候喜欢把H丢去。
由着性子到处乱讲。
（找到幸运观众）先生，你读过书吗？
幸运观众：
那你觉嘚我是什么，傻瓜吗？
希金斯：
都没人教他该念“得”不是“嘚”！
再听听约克郡人，
或者是康瓦尔郡人的交谈，
我宁可去听唱诗班唱歌。
完全就像一群鸡，
在谷仓咯咯乱叫。
伊莉莎：
哼→↓↑↓！
希金斯：
哼↓↓↓→！
先生瞧瞧她刚才说了什么？
就是“嗷”和“哼”让她呆在贫民窟，
而不是她破烂的衣服和肮脏的脸庞。
为什么英国人就不教自己的孩子怎么说话？
靠着口音区分贫贱，
现在早该是过时。
如果先生你也像她那样说话，
那么，你也会像她一样卖花！
皮克林：
那还真是抱歉！
希金斯：
英国人单凭说话就能分出三六九等，
发音不对就会招来他人鄙视。
我们操着的英语完全没有共同之处，
哦，为什么英国人就不能学着
给那些英语说不好的人
做一个好榜样？
苏格兰和爱尔兰口音能止小孩夜啼，
这还是很多地方方言消失的情况下。
在美国他们说的早就不是英语！
为什么英国人就不能教他们小孩如何说话？
挪威人学挪威语，
希腊人就教小孩希腊语。
在法国每个法国人都懂得法语，
其实只要发音正确法国人完全不管在他们说什么。
阿拉伯人学说阿拉伯语像闪电一样快，
希伯来人可以倒背如流希伯来语，
简直难以置信。
但在英国你用正规的英语，就会被当成怪胎。
为什么英国人，
为什么英国人
不能好！好！学！说！话！
