钻石是女孩的挚友

〈钻石是女孩的挚友〉或译〈钻石是女孩最好的朋友〉（英语：Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend）是一首在1949年公演的百老汇音乐剧《绅士爱美人（英语：Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (musical)）》的爵士风曲目，原唱者为卡萝尔·钱宁，此曲的改编版在1953年的同名电影版中由双主演珍·罗素和玛丽莲·梦露分别演唱，2001年的荷里活音乐剧电影《情陷红磨坊》中主演妮歌·洁曼亦演唱了本曲。

1953年玛丽莲·梦露版本

玛丽莲·梦露在电影《绅士爱美人》中穿著桃红色长裙表演〈钻石是女孩的挚友〉的一幕，最右边的男舞伴是成名前的乔治·查金思。

大部分来源都指出1953年电影《绅士爱美人》中的曲目大部分都是由梦露本人亲自演唱，只有少部分段落由其他歌手代唱，其中〈钻石是女孩的挚友〉引子的高音“No！”部分由职业歌手歌莉娅·霍特（英语：Gloria Wood）代唱，这段引子一般不会被收录于相关单曲唱片中^[1]^[2]^[3]。但在2007年一篇纽约时报的文章中，歌手玛尼·尼克逊（英语：Marni Nixon）声称她代唱了“These rocks don't lose their shape”这一段^[4]。

梦露的版本入选美国电影学会2004年AFI百年百大电影歌曲的第十二位^[5]，这个版本被其他成名歌手翻唱，梦露的桃红色长裙和长手套的造型亦成为了其他艺员的致敬对象，例如麦当娜在1985年的〈拜金女孩〉的MTV中有一幕复刻了梦露版本的服饰和布景，凯莉·米洛在福克斯澳洲电影主题公园1999年的开幕典礼中演唱〈钻石是女孩的挚友〉时其服饰和舞蹈也是参考了梦露版本。瑞恩·高斯林在2024年第96届奥斯卡金像奖获奖时以梦露版本的服饰为蓝本演唱〈我只是肯尼〉^[6]。

英文原文	中文翻译
The French are glad to die for love They delight in fighting duels But I prefer a man who lives And gives expensive jewels A kiss on the hand May be quite continental But diamonds are a girl's best friend A kiss may be grand But it won't pay the rental On your humble flat Or help you at the automat Men grow cold As girls grow old And we all lose our charms in the end But square-cut or pear-shaped These rocks don't lose their shape Diamonds are a girl's best friend Tiffany's! Cartier! Black Starr Frost Gorham! Talk to me Harry Winston Tell me all about it There may come a time When a lass needs a lawyer But diamonds are a girl's best friend There may come a time When a hard-boiled employer Thinks you're awful nice But get that ice or else no dice He's your guy When stocks are high But beware when they start to descend It's then that those louses Go back to their spouses Diamonds are a girl's best friend I've heard of affairs That are strictly platonic But diamonds are a girl's best friend But I think affairs That you must keep liaisonic Are better bets If little pets get big baguettes Time rolls on and youth is gone And you can't straighten up when you bend But stiff back or stiff knees You stand straight at... Tiffany's Diamonds! Diamonds! I don't mean rhinestones But diamonds are a girl's best... Best friend	法国男人甘愿为爱而死他们从决斗中寻觅快感但我更爱活著和赠送昂贵珠宝的男人亲吻手背也许洋溢欧陆风情但钻石才是女孩的挚友一个接吻也许代表情深似海但却不能帮你缴付你那破公寓的房租或到快餐厅果腹女孩变老了男人也就变冷淡了我们到最后都会失去所有魅力但不管是正方切割或水滴形这些宝石都是永恒不变钻石才是女孩的挚友蒂芙尼！卡地亚！ Black Starr Frost Gorham（英语：Black, Starr & Frost）！哈里·温斯顿（英语：Harry Winston）请跟我聊聊告诉我珠宝的一切总有个时候女孩得勾搭上一名好律师但钻石才是女孩的挚友总有个时候铁石心肠的老板会视你为人间尤物但拿不出钻石就免谈股票涨得高高的时候他也许是你的真命天子但当心股价一旦下泻到头来这班臭虫只会滚回原配的怀抱中钻石才是女孩的挚友我听说有些婚外情奉行绝对的柏拉图式恋爱但钻石才是女孩的挚友我却认为婚外情必须维持肉体关系才是让小白兔赢得大颗钻石的最佳押注岁月流逝青春不再你已无法挺直驼背的身躯但脊椎或膝盖再僵硬你笔挺地来到... 蒂芙尼钻石！钻石！我不是说仿制品但钻石才是女孩的最佳... 挚友
