give me your answer, do.
i’m half-crazy,
all for the love of you.
it won’t be a stylish marriage,
i can’t afford a carriage.
but you’ll look sweet upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two.

一辆双人自行车
戴西，戴西，
一定把你的答案告诉我。
我已很疯狂了，
全为了爱你。
婚礼将不会时髦，
因为我买不起一辆马车。
但如果你坐在双人自行车的座位上，
你看上去会可爱极了。

[the story of the song]
this is a disney version of a classic song that has long expressed
the economic difficulties of any two young people getting married.
but love creates happiness even without money.young couples are both
brave and passionate, otherwise they would flee all the responsibilities
of parenthood, and humans would become another extinct species. we
should give our blessing and best wishes to this young couple, for
our hopes for the future of our species will be riding with them on
that bicycle built for two.
[歌里的故事]
这是迪斯尼对一首经典经过改编后的乐曲，它表达了年青人即将结婚的经济困境。但是无论怎样缺钱，爱情也会创造出幸福。年轻的夫妇应该既充满激情又勇敢无畏，否则，他们会逃避做父母的一切责任，人类将成为又一灭绝的物种。我们应该衷心地祝福歌中的这对年青人，因为我们对人类未来的希望将与他们一起骑着那辆双人自行车向前进。
