美國情侶合唱分手歌:告別5年戀情和平分手大綱
Jonathan Mann and Ivory King put a quirky spin on their breakup by telling friends in a song. After 5 years, the talented pair split after disagreeing on whether to have kids.
喬納森·曼恩和艾弗莉·金通過合唱一首分手歌來告知朋友他們分手的消息。這對才華橫溢的情侶交往5年，卻在生孩子的問題上產生了分歧，最終只能分道揚鑣。When a musically-inclined Brooklyn couple decided to call it quits, they created a breakup video to share the news with friends.
這對來自紐約布魯克林區的情侶音樂細胞很豐富，他們決定用音樂的方式來分手。他們製作了一個分手視頻，跟他們的朋友分享這個消息。Posted online late Wednesday, it’s a soon-to-be-viral YouTube hit. But for 30-year-old Jonathan Mann, it was simply a bittersweet ending to a five-year relationship.
視頻週三被傳上網絡，預計很快就會成爲YouTube上的熱門視頻。不過對於30歲的喬納森來說，以這樣的方式結束五年的感情，只是辛酸的浪漫。
“I want kids and she doesn’t,” Mann told the Daily News. The lyrics of “We’ve Got To Break Up” reflect the couple’s baby-centric downfall and reassure friends they won’t have to pick sides.
喬納森對《每日新聞報》這樣解釋他們分手的原因：“我想要孩子她不願意。” 這首歌曲名叫《我們必須要分手》，歌詞中也反映了這對情侶以孩子爲焦點的矛盾所在。歌曲也是爲了告訴朋友們：你們不用選擇要站在哪一邊。Mann says he and his ex-girlfriend, 31-year-old Ivory King, thought the music video would be the easiest way to break the news.
喬納森說，他和31歲的前女友艾弗莉都覺得音樂視頻是對親朋好友宣佈他們的分手消息最容易的方式。“I didn’t want to make a post on Facebook and have that be it,” he said. “And I didn’t want to have to explain it over and over to people, because that can be really painful.
他說：“我不想在臉譜上發消息說我們分手了，我也不想一遍遍地向別人重複解釋我們分手的原因，這樣實在是太痛苦了。”“And I hoped it would feel cathartic to make this together, as sort of our final act,” he added.
他又說道：“我希望這樣完成一首歌可以讓我們宣泄一些傷感的情緒，算是我們最後的告別。”It didn’t quite work that way. “When it comes down to it, there’s no way to feel anything but sad in a situation like ours,” Mann said.
不過這首分手歌並不輕鬆。“歸根結底，我們這麼久的感情分手，不可能不難過，真的很難過。” 喬納森說。Heartbreak aside, he’s been pleased by his friends’ reactions. “We’ve been together for so long that we have so many mutual friends, and it was a big thing to sort of split that up,” Mann said. “But people are being super supportive.”
雖然分手讓人心碎，但喬納森還是對朋友的反應感到開心。他說：“我們在一起5年，有着非常多共同的朋友。所以在朋友圈子裏我們的分手也算是蠻大的事情。不過朋友們都非常支持我們的決定。”
