[ 英語參考 ]

LA on a Saturday night in the summer
洛杉磯盛夏星期六的夜晚
Sun down and they all come out
驕陽退場 俊男美女出動
Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
駕駛著蘭博基尼和租的悍馬寶車
The party’s on so they’re heading downtown
他們要去市中心 狂歡派對拉開序幕

This is my only fear
我僅有的恐懼便是
That we become
我們會成為
Beautiful people
所謂表面光鮮亮麗的人
Drop top, designer clothes
敞篷豪車 高定服裝
Front row at fashion shows
置身時裝秀前排
What do you do and who do you know?
但你在做什么？你認識誰？

Let’s leave the party
讓我們離開聚會吧
That’s not who we are, we are, we are, we are
我們不該如此
We are not beautiful
我們和這些人格格不入

Inside the world of beautiful people
人們只關注你的身份地位
Champagne and rolled up notes
美酒香檳作伴 巨額鈔票傍身
Prenups /priː'nʌp/ and broken homes
冷漠的婚前協議 破碎不堪的家庭
Surrounded but still alone
被燈紅酒綠圍繞 卻仍然孤獨

So the music video follows an ordinary couple who are dropped into a world of rich and powerful. However, they don’t feel compelled to fit in with their new surroundings. So they quickly flee that world and head back to their normal life.

But in 2016, Sheeran took a year-long hiatus /haɪ'eɪtəs/ and social media break. During this time, he went out travel and met people, forging person-to-person connections.
