问题补充
国内经常翻译成“跃过我的灵魂”,但 lou 跟 soul 不是一个意思吧?

兽妖啼。
《Skip to my Lou》是首非常出名的儿歌——视频在这儿:http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/leM7e7IiLQc
歌词基本上就这么两句:
Lost my partner,
What’ll I do?
Skip to my lou, my darlin’。
这句的意思应该是,“蹦蹦跳跳奔向我的外婆Lou”……Lou明显应该是个名儿,比较出名的那种,“陆奶奶”,好比“王大爷”。
阿尔斯通被冠以这名字,是因为当初他打球的时候,把现场DJ惊着了(街球场上的DJ你懂的,基本上负责“oh!oh!oh!blahblah”),DJ激动的唱了这首儿歌(想象下阿尔斯通打街球那劲头,确实是蹦蹦跳跳的)。所以他这名字就定下来了。
如果硬要翻译,我想了个——蹦哒你姥姥!

简单的说就是条约的灵魂。
AND1当年的街球王Rafer Alston因为他灵活轻快的动作被取外号为“Skip to my lou”。
下面是这个儿歌的原文
Lost my partner,
What’ll I do?
Lost my partner,
What’ll I do?
Lost my partner,
What’ll I do?
Skip to my lou, my darlin’.
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’.
I’ll get another better one,too.
I’ll get another better one,too.
I’ll get another better one,too.
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’.
如果你是一个资深球迷,当你把skip to my lou 挂在嘴边的时候,你就得提防有人会问你,这个lou是什麽意思,而skip to my lou整个又是什麽意思,如果你不知道,尤其是在女朋友或者小朋友或者初级球迷朋友问你的时候不知道,是不是有那麽一点尴尬呢?
见到有很多兄弟象我当初一样,不知道这个lou的意思,而又无人解答,因此在这里列出我以前的研究 成果,如果有其他兄弟有更多更好的解释,请更贴指正:
关于lou的发音,应该发作lu:, 就象汉语的卢一样。
关于lou的起源,有几个说法。lou 一般情况下是用于人姓名的,可以是男孩名,也可以是女孩名,也可以用于姓,有个唱歌的就姓lou, 但用于名的时候更多。
一个权威的说法是来自源于苏格兰,另外一个说法是,lou 是louise 和louis的简称,louise是女孩名,louis 是男孩名。我更倾向于第二个说法,因为法国人里面更louis有关的人名男女都很多,苏格兰那嘎啦的lou估计是当初法国大陆流放过去后简化的。美国现在都还有一个louisiana的州,拿破仑时候,美国以8000万法郎(约合1500万美元)从法国购得了82.7万平方英里的路易斯安娜和新奥尔良,总面积达260万平方英里,每亩不到三美分(从俄国手中买到了阿拉斯加每亩大约两美分)。所以有人的名字就直接用lou的也有。注意这里将的是lou的本义,现在我门来讲lou的真正引申意义。
实际上由于这首儿歌过于简单,你会唱也不会明白lou是什麽意思,反而让我们更困惑。
但是如果你有Sampou的Sweet Perfume的CD,一切就迎刃而解了。这个CD里面有一首也叫
skip to my lou的歌,很复杂但是很清楚的描述出了一个可爱的小女孩对她最爱的grandma lou的依恋和回报之情。其中有一句是
Grandma, Grandma, I’m skipping cross the floor to you
with my little girl smile and my little girl shoes。(BTW,这句真煽情生动,让我想起我的童年),小女孩欢快地蹦达着穿过地板,奔进了卢奶奶的怀抱。
小女孩认为她的85岁的gramma lou 很sweet,然后结尾也是叠唱
Oh my Grandma Lou, skip to my lou, skip to my lou, my darlin’
很明显,这个小女孩很喜欢她的甜甜的没有牙齿的卢奶奶。所以如果你问现在的美国人skip to my lou的lou是什麽意思,他们会说lou是sweet,honey,darling,sweethart这类的意思。这是引申意。一些电台也有grandma lou 甜心奶奶讲儿童故事的节目,像不像我门小时候的孙敬修孙爷爷的讲故事节目啊?或者是知心姐姐开始广播了。。。
综上叔叔,skip to my lou 就是蹦达着奔向我的甜心。如果是alston,skip cross the floor to my hoop,他的甜心应该是蓝圈,如果你是一个女孩,有一个男生朝你大唱skip to my lou的儿歌,我想不是他太幼稚,把你当卢奶奶,而是你太可爱了,他好喜欢你。。。。
所以 结论就是SKIP TO MY LOU的意思就是 蹦跳这跑向我的最爱(甜心)
因为ALSTON的运球太好的 以至于能让球有魔力的跳向HOOP (LOU)
