打败它

“beat it”的作者是麥可·傑克遜，这是一個搖滾音樂，雖然傑克遜說以前從來沒有表現出对摇滚歌曲有興趣，但是这的确是他创作的。傑克遜後來說“這就是我走近了摇滚歌曲，我希望孩子們都喜歡它。”

歌词大意及含义

<beat it>躲开 这个词是美国俚语，字面意思是打它，实则是躲开。有点类似中国的暗语风紧--“扯乎”。本歌的大意是呼吁青少年不要用暴力来解决问题。这样一首反暴力题材的歌曲可以说是最适合青少年的。歌词中英文对照如下：

they told him don't you ever come around here他们告诉他"别再来这"
don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"不想看到你的脸",你最好消失
the fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear他们眼中怒火熊熊,话也说得格外清楚.
so beat it, just beat it那么就躲开吧,快躲开

you better run, you better do what you can你最好是跑,最好做你该做的
don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man别头脑发热,别充硬汉
you wanna be tough, better do what you can你想勇敢面对,最好做你该做的
so beat it, but you wanna be bad所以躲开吧,但你非要耍酷!

just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it快躲开,躲开,躲开
no one wants to be defeated没有人希望被打败
showin' how funky strong is your fighter展现你的惊慌失措也是战斗
it doesn't matter who's wrong or right这无关谁对谁错
just beat it, beat it快躲开吧,躲开

they're out to get you, better leave while you can他们跑过来抓你,趁还能跑赶紧跑
don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man"不想当个孩子,你要当个汉子"
you wanna stay alive, better do what you can你要想活下来,就做你该做的
so beat it, just beat it所以躲开吧,快躲开

you have to show them that you're really not scared你要向他们展示你并没有被吓倒
you're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare你那是在玩命,这无关真理或勇气
they'll kick you, then they beat you,他们会踢你,揍你
then they'll tell you it's fair然后告你这合情合理
so beat it, but you wanna be bad所以躲开吧,但你非要耍酷!
