Music and Lyrics is a 2007 American romantic comedy film, which focuses on the relationship that evolves between a former pop music idol and an aspiring writer as they struggle to compose a song for the reigning pop diva.
《K歌情人》是2007年的美國浪漫純愛喜劇,講述一位過氣的偶像歌手和一位才女作詞家共同為流行天后譜歌時(shí)發(fā)生的戀愛故事。
Alex Fletcher is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem--Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days.
Alex(休?格蘭特 飾)是一個(gè)八十年代過氣流行樂歌手,近年好不容易靠著懷舊路線逐漸獲得更多的演出機(jī)會(huì)。轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)出現(xiàn)了,流行天后Cora邀請(qǐng)Alex寫歌并合唱該曲。但此刻Alex碰到了創(chuàng)作瓶頸,多年沒有作曲之余,他也從來沒有過作詞的經(jīng)驗(yàn),現(xiàn)在卻要在幾天內(nèi)作出一首暢銷的流行曲。
Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the music--if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.
就在Alex十分煩惱時(shí),他遇到了Sophie(德魯?巴里摩爾 飾),這個(gè)美麗的女孩精通運(yùn)用文字,隨口唱出的歌詞讓Alex十分滿意,多次邀請(qǐng)下Sophie才答應(yīng)與Alex一起合作。但Sophie一直困在前一段失敗的感情中,她害怕承諾。當(dāng)她與Alex的感情逐漸升溫的時(shí),兩人卻要一起面對(duì)分歧,他們的愛情和事業(yè)面臨考驗(yàn)……

There are moments when I don't know if it is real,
有些時(shí)候我不知是否真實(shí),
Or if anybody feels the way I feel,

Not just another negotiation.

我只要重新找到愛的感覺,
I can not make it through without a way back into love,
