聆听小天后泰勒“心曲” 　　下面三首歌曲出自泰勒2006年发行的第一张同名专辑Taylor Swift，这张专辑连续五周在美国Billboard热门乡村音乐歌曲榜里位列前十，使泰勒成为该榜自成立以来首位同一张专辑有五首歌打入前十名的歌手。 　　The Outside 　　This is one of the first songs I ever wrote， and it talks about the very reason I ever started to write songs. It was when I was twelve years old， and a complete outcast1） at school. I sang country music at karaoke2） bars and festivals on weekends while other girls went to sleepovers3）. Some days I woke up not knowing if anyone was going to talk to me that day. I think every person comes to a point in their life when you have a long string of bad days.

It completely blew my mind， and this one was tough to write， because I wasnt just telling some sad story. This was real. This song is basically about the girls I know， and the difficult things I saw them go through. Ive never seen this song as a lecture. Its really about how no matter what my friends go through， Im always going to love them. 　　Stay Beautiful 　　After hearing my songs， a lot of people ask me， How many boyfriends have you HAD？ And I always tell them that more of my songs come from observation than actual experience. In other words， you dont have to date someone to write a song about them. This is a song I wrote about a guy I never dated！ Wow， right？ Haha. This song is about a guy I thought was cute， and never really talked to him much. But something about him inspired this song， just watching him. 　　《局外人》 　　“这是我最早写的歌之一，讲述的正是我开始写歌的初衷。那时我12岁，在学校里备受排挤。别的女孩周
