BUTCHER VANITY
ricedeity: The title can be interpreted a few ways:
1. "Butcher's vanity", with "Butcher" as a noun. A butcher who is vain.
2. "Butcher vanity", with "butcher" as a verb. To chop up one's vanity.
3. If you're Google, it can also be interpreted as a cool sink project.
ricedeity: 标题有好几种解读方式
1.“”屠夫的虚荣“”，“butcher”做名词，屠夫之意。一个虚荣的屠夫
2.“屠宰虚荣”，“butcher”做动词，屠宰屠杀之意。将一个人的虚荣剁碎。
3.如果你是谷歌的话，曲名也可以被理解成一个酷酷的洗手台装修项目。
（译者注：谷歌搜索Butcher Block Vanity..）
[Verse 1]
They say my hunger's a problem
They tell me to curb my appetite
They say I can't keep myself
From trying a bite of every plate in sight
他们说我的饥饿感是个问题
他们告诉我要控制食欲
他们说我根本没法控制自己
眼前看到什么菜肴都想要吃
They say
->
Vane Lily: I really wanted to have the first stanza of the song to have a "They say/They tell/They [etc]" pattern in the lines. Both Jamie and I specifically looove word/phrase repetition x
“They say/ 他们说”
->
Vane Lily: 我真的很想要第一小节里出现“他们说、他们讲述、他们[等等此类]”的排列组合。Jamie和我特别喜欢单词、语句的重复 x
They worship patience, a virtue
Oh, they tell me gluttony’s a sin
But my desire, it’s bottomless
I wanna slit your throat and eat ‘till I get sick
他们崇拜耐心，一种美德
哦，他们告诉我贪欲是罪恶
但是我的欲望，它是无底洞
我想要把你喉咙划了吃到我呕吐
“They worship patience, a virtue
Oh, they tell me gluttony’s a sin”
->
JamieP: i didn't realize it until long after the song had been out but i subconsciously quoted the flavor text for the MtG card Exsanguinate here. i don't really play black mana i'm much more of a mono-blue person so idk where that came from
“他们崇拜耐心，一种美德
哦，他们告诉我贪欲是罪恶”
->
JamieP: 我一直到歌发布很久后才意识到我在这里潜意识地引用了万智牌中Exsanguinate卡牌的说明文。我不怎么玩black mana我其实玩mono-blue更多所以我也不知道这句是从哪来的
“slit your throat”
->
ricedeity: Refers to the slaughtering process, where the throat is slit right after the animal is killed.
(Shoutout to Wikihow How To Slaughter Cattle. lol)
“把你喉咙划了”
->
ricedeity: 指在屠宰动物的过程中，动物死后喉咙立即会被划开。
（感谢Wikihow的如何宰牛页面。笑）
[Chorus 1]
The slaughter's on
I’d love to see you come undone
Unsatisfied
Until I've got you flayed alive
杀戮开始
我想要看到你肢解开来
无法满足
直到我生生剥开你的皮
So grab a plate, have a taste
这口味让我陶醉
I’m still preying on a butcher’s vein
所以拿一个餐盘，尝尝味道
这口味让我陶醉
我仍在猎食一个屠夫的静脉
“陶醉”
->
ricedeity: Yeah, it should be 沉醉. Jamie and Vane (obviously) can't read Chinese so no one caught it at the PV stage. I also can't read Chinese, apparently. Sorry
ricedeity: 是的，这里应该是“沉醉”，但是Jamie和Vane（很明显的）不会读中文所以做PV的阶段没人注意到。显然我也不会读中文。抱歉
[Verse 2]
To truss you up in pretty patterns
Oh, to dress your flesh up with the works
Perfectly portioned by a dagger
Serving the finest leftover dessert
把你绑成好看的花样
哦，用所有现成食材装点你的血肉
被匕首完美分割成块
上一份最高级的残羹甜点
“truss you up”
->
ricedeity: Tying up with twine, specifically usually done with poultry. But I'm sure you could do it with other things, too.
“绑成“
->
ricedeity: 用麻绳绑起来，特别是用来绑禽类。但是我觉得你也可以用来绑其他东西。
“pretty patterns”
->
JamieP: if you ever see any alliteration with the letter P in any flavor foley lyrics there's a 99% chance it's my fault
“好看的花样”
->
JamieP: 如果你在任何flavor foley的歌里看到了字母P的头韵那么99%的概率是我的错
“Oh, to dress your flesh up with the works”
->
JamieP: to dress up can obviously refer to clothing, but "dressing", as in field dressing, is the process of removing internal organs, the head, and otherwise inedible or undesired parts of a carcass before further butchering is done. regardless of what meaning the word takes here, miss meatgirl sees what she's doing as prettying up her prey. double entendres!
“哦，用所有现成食材装点你的血肉”
->
JamieP: to dress up （换装）明显可以指衣服，但是在field dressing里的 “dressing”指的是在进一步屠宰之前去除内脏，头部，和尸体上其他不可食用和不想要的部分的步骤。不管这个词在这里是哪一种意思，肉女孩小姐在这里认为她自己在做的是把自己的猎物打理的漂漂亮亮的，一语双关！
Why would I desecrate a carcass?
Oh, why let the offal go to waste?
It’s love that guides my cleaver with such tenderness
A perfect strike to fix the horror on your face!
我为何要亵渎一具遗骸？
哦，何必要将内脏浪费？
是爱温柔地引导着我的切肉刀
完美一击，将你脸上的惊恐定格！
“Why would I desecrate a carcass?
Oh, why let the offal go to waste?”
->
JamieP: "offal" refers to entrails and internal organs, the things often being removed when dressing an animal.
most would think the act of butchering a carcass is desecrating it, but our narrator would beg to differ - it's only sacrilegious to let those butchered bits go to waste! something tells me she's going a bit further than just saving bones to make stock, though
“我为何要亵渎一具遗骸？
哦，何必要将内脏浪费？”
->
JamieP: “offal”指的是动物的肠子和内脏，在处理动物肉类的时候经常被去除的部分。
很多人会认为屠宰尸体是亵渎的行为，可我们的叙述者可不这么认为--将残留下来的肉扔掉才亵渎呢！但是我总感觉她不只是会把骨头留着拿来炖汤就是了。
“tenderness”
->
JamieP: yeah this song has a lot of meat puns in it
“温柔地” （译注：tenderness也指肉柔嫩）
->
JamieP: 是的这首歌里有很多肉相关的双关语
“fix”
->
ricedeity: "Fix" here could mean to "resolve", as in "you shouldn't have that look on your face!", but can more excitingly mean "affix", as in "You should keep that look on your face forever!"
“定格”
->
ricedeity: “Fix”在这里可以指“解决”，指的是“你不应该露出那种表情！”，但是在更令人兴奋的意义上可以指“附加上”，比如“你应该永远地在脸上露出那种表情！”
[Chorus 2a]
The slaughter’s mine
Oh, blood and viscera divine
Preserved and primed
Each muscle divvied up to dine
属于我的屠杀
哦，血与脏腑神圣
储存备办
每块肌肉分配好只为用餐
“viscera”
->
JamieP: another word for internal organs - see "offal" above
“脏腑”
->
JamieP: “viscera”是内脏的另一种说法，和上文的”offal”一样
“Preserved and primed”
->
Vane Lily: In reference to meat preservation as well as prime meats
“储存备办”
->
Vane Lily:指肉类储存，也指极佳级肉类
“Each muscle divvied up to dine”
->
Vane Lily: i think this line is sooo fun to say outloud. i really love this chorus because i think we went absolutely crazy with the rhymes: mine/divine/primed/dine/high/zai/ai/time. we're crazy
“每块肌肉分配好只为用餐”
->
Vane Lily: 我觉得这句大声说出来真的太好玩了。我真的特别爱这段副歌因为我们押韵玩的太疯了：mine/divine/primed/dine/high/zai/ai/time。太疯了我们
And in the high, 我存在
Tasting 血淋淋的爱
I’ll devour all of you in time
而在狂喜中，我存在
品尝血淋淋的爱
我会早晚将你吞食干净
[Chorus 2b]
Oh, your heart
Aortic work of art
My love, my knife
To carve it out, your life
哦，你的心脏
主动脉的艺术品
我的爱，我的刀
切割出来，你的生命
“Oh, your heart
Aortic work of art”
->
JamieP: the aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body, directly attached to the heart and running down to the abdomen. i think miss meatgirl just really appreciates human anatomy!
“哦，你的心脏
主动脉的艺术品”
->
JamieP: 主动脉是人体里最大的血管，直接连着心脏，通向腹部。我觉得肉女孩真的非常欣赏人体解剖学！
“My love, my knife
To carve it out, your life”
->
JamieP: like, really appreciates it!!
“我的爱，我的刀
切割出来，你的生命”
->
JamieP: 讲真的，可欣赏了！
So grab a plate, have a taste
这口味让我陶醉
I’m still preying on a butcher’s vein
所以拿一个餐盘，尝尝味道
这口味让我陶醉
我仍在猎食一个屠夫的静脉
[Bridge]
To snap the sinew, I want
To get within you, I want
To not forgive you
Rigor mortis, mold and mildew
But dear, you should be grateful
That I won’t waste a good meal
That all my love’s precision
Carves a cut to simply die for
来折断筋肌，我想要
进到你里面去，我想要
不原谅你
尸僵，霉菌霉斑
但亲爱的，你应该心怀感激
因为我不会浪费美餐
因为我所有的爱精准刻出了
让人无悔死亡的伤口
“Bridge”
->
ricedeity: Jamie wrote this entire thing. It's so awesome
“过门”
->
ricedeity: 这整段都是Jamie写的。太棒了
“to snap the sinew”
->
JamieP: connective tissue, tendons, etc. usually referred to as "silver skin" when it shows up on cuts of meat
“来折断筋肌”
->
JamieP: 结缔组织，肌腱，在肉块上一般被称为“银皮”
“I want/ To not forgive you”
->
JamieP: "rigor mortis" is the process of a dead body's muscles and tissue stiffening up temporarily after death; mold and mildew are, of course, signs of a corpse in advanced stages of rot and decay. words dripping in malice coming from someone like meatgirl...
“我想要/不原谅你”
->
JamieP: 尸僵是尸体的肌肉和组织在死后暂时僵硬的过程。霉菌霉斑当然是相当腐烂的尸体的表现。是来自肉女孩的相当充满恶意的话呢...
[douyin “huh?” sound effect]
ricedeity: there's this viral douyin (chinese tiktok) that's like, "when you don't want the neighbors to think you're too poor to afford ribs", and it's just a guy cutting tofu with a cleaver but smacking the cutting board REALLY LOUDLY (because when you prepare ribs you have to cut through the bone so you chop the cleaver with a ton of force. and it's loud).
I love that douyin so much. I found a knock off version of it without bgm that used like every douyin sound effect in it (https://ricedeity.neocities.org/knockoff%20when%20you%20dont%20want%20the%20neighbors%20to%20think%20youre%20too%20poor%20to%20afford%20ribs.mp4) and gave it to Jamie Paige to sample. I think the cleaver hit sound effects are actually used in the bridge/at the end. But yeah my beloved douyin "huh?!" sfx.
[抖音“哈？”音效]
ricedeity: 有一个网红抖音说的是“你不想让你邻居知道你买不起排骨”，然后就是一个哥们在切豆腐但是砧板切的巨响（因为你准备排骨的时候你必须用力下刀才能切断骨头，特别响的）。
我太喜欢那个抖音了。我找了个盗版的，里面大概用了所有的抖音音效，然后我发给Jamie Paige采样。我觉得菜刀音效用在了过门处、最后面。但是是的这就是我心爱的抖音“哈？！”音效。
TO SNAP THE SINEW, I WANT
TO GET WITHIN YOU, I WANT
TO SCAR THE TISSUE
BUTTERFLY AND RECTIFY YOU
I NEED TO BE YOUR AFTERLIFE
EUCHARIST, I DEIFY
GOD, OH, FUCK THE FORK AND KNIFE
I’LL RIP IN HANDS AND TEETH AND TAKE A BITE
来折断筋肌，我想要
进到你里面去，我想要
留下组织疤痕
将切成蝴蝶肉的你矫正
我需要成为你的来世
祀奉为神的圣餐
神啊，去他妈的刀和叉
我上手去用牙齿撕扯大口咬下
“BUTTERFLY”
->
JamieP: slicing meat almost all the way in half to make a thinner, more uniform cut. often done with chicken or shrimp
“蝴蝶肉”
->
JamieP: 将肉从中间切，几乎切断的程度，来做出更薄更规整的肉片。一般是用来切鸡肉或者虾肉。
“EUCHARIST, I DEIFY”
->
JamieP: catholicism, baby! protestant christians refer to this as communion - the whole body and blood thing with bread and wine. its a ritual of symbolic cannibalism!
Yi Xi
Has
Become
Catholic
“祀奉为神的圣餐”
->
JamieP: 这是天主教耶！新教徒称之为圣餐，有肉体有血配着面包和酒。这是象征性的食人行为！
奕夕
已经
变成了
天主教徒
[Chorus 3a]
The slaughter's on
I’d love to see you come undone
Unsatisfied
Until I've got you flayed alive
杀戮开始
我想要看到你肢解开来
无法满足
直到我生生剥开你的皮
So grab a plate, have a taste
这口味让我陶醉
I’m still preying on a butcher’s vein
所以拿一个餐盘，尝尝味道
这口味让我陶醉
我仍在猎食一个屠夫的静脉
[Chorus 3b]
And now the slaughter’s mine
My darling, get under the knife
Your broken pride
A cut so perfect in its prime
现在这是我的屠杀
亲爱的，爬向我的刀下
你破碎的自尊
最佳状态，完美砍下
“A cut so perfect in its prime”
->
JamieP: "prime" being the highest USDA grade of beef, reserved for only the most marbled and tender steaks
“最佳状态，完美砍下”
->
JamieP: “Prime”（极佳级肉类）是美国农业部规定的最高等级的软嫩又肥瘦相间的牛肉
All that I see, sixty-three,
为让我心醉的你 (For the you I hunger for)
I'll be waiting, so impatiently
我看到的一切，63度
为让我心醉的你
我会等待，又是那么焦急
“sixty-three”
->
ricedeity: This is supposed to be an audible pun (?? is that a term), with "see" sounding like "C", so it's "C63" (like 63 Celsius- USDA recommended safe cooking temperature for most meats)
Vane Lily: Jamie was worried the pun wasn't obvious enough, which is why the PV text displays it as 63°Just adding on that I really wanted this pun in particular to work and I'm SO glad we made it work here I am so cheesed
“63度”
->
ricedeity: 这个是一个听觉双关语（？？这是专有名词吗），“see”听上去像是”C”，所以是“C63”（摄氏63度，美国农业部规定的大多数肉类的安全烹饪温度）
Vane Lily: Jamie还担心这个双关语不够明显，所以PV中表示成了63°。顺便一提我真的很想让这个双关语成功，能成我真的超级开心的
“ (For the you I hunger for)”
->
ricedeity:This translation is literally a little closer to "for the you that fascinated me". But the Chinese term for "fascinate" (心醉) uses the same character (醉) meaning "drunk" that's used in the term for "intoxicated" (沉醉) in the other refrains, so I localized it to "hunger for" instead to carry that kind of eat/drink connotation through in English.
“为让我心醉的你 (For the you I hunger for)”
->
（译注：这里的官方英文翻译是For the you I hunger for，可以翻译成“为了我渴求的你”，但是和“心醉”又有措辞上的出入，故这条解说）
ricedeity:这句翻译字面上更像是“for the you that fascinated me”（为让我心醉的你），但是中文的“心醉”用了和其他小节中同样的“醉”字，比如“沉醉”。因此我将其本土化成了“hunger for”（贪求，渴求），这样在英文中也保留了饮/食的含义
[Outro]
(Oh, your heart

（哦，你的心脏
主动脉的艺术品
我的爱，我的刀

Still praying, hopeless and in vain.
依然祈祷，无望又徒劳。
