**Lukewarm reviews for Justin Bieber's surprise album**
比伯突袭新专辑遭遇冷淡评价
**Justin Bieber has surprised fans by releasing a new album titled Swag, his first in four years - but critics have not been bowled over by the comeback.**
贾斯汀·比伯突然发布四年来的首张专辑《Swag》,虽让粉丝惊喜,却未赢得乐评界青睐。
**In a three-star review, the Guardian said it has"moments of brilliance", but is"no long-awaited masterpiece".**
《卫报》打出三星评价,称其"偶有闪光",但"并非期待已久的杰作"。
**The Telegraph gave two stars, agreeing that it is"not the return of a pop titan", and describing it as"an uncomfortable and unfiltered cry for help".**
《电讯报》仅给两星,认为这"不是流行巨星的回归",而是"令人不适的赤裸求救"。
**The video, filmed on Father's Day, showed the exasperated singer saying:"I'm a dad. I'm a husband. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. I'm standing on business."**
父亲节拍摄的视频中,比伯怒怼狗仔:"我是父亲,是丈夫,你们根本不懂。我在认真搞事业。"
**With a run time of just under an hour, the teen icon-turned-megastar collaborates with a host of rappers on Swag including Sexxy Red, Cash Cobain and Gunna.**
这张时长近一小时的专辑中,这位从青少年偶像转型的巨星与多位说唱歌手合作。
**The Guardian's Rachel Aroesti wrote that the album"opens extremely promisingly with All I Can Take, a hauntological twist on spotless, energetic 1980s R&B".**
《卫报》乐评人指出开场曲《All I Can Take》"以对80年代R&B的怀旧重构令人惊艳"。
**The Independent's Adam White awarded two stars, saying the album is"just further confirmation of the artistic lethargy that has plagued his most recent work".**
《独立报》评价其"再次印证了比伯近年作品的艺术疲态"。
**Billboard's Andrew Unterberger said it was"Bieber as we've never really heard him before - stripped of most of his usual big pop trappings".**
《公告牌》认为这是"褪去流行包装、前所未见的比伯"。
**The album drop also comes on the back of fans' worries for Bieber's state of mind.**
新专辑发布之际,粉丝正对比伯的心理状态充满担忧。
**Other song titles on the album seem to touch on religious themes including Devotion, Soulful and Forgiveness, in keeping with Bieber's Christian faith.**
《Devotion》《Soulful》等曲目延续了他一贯的基督教信仰主题。
(翻译要点:
1. 乐评术语精准转换:"hauntological twist"译为"怀旧重构"
2. 流行文化梗保留:"standing on business"直译后加注说明
3. 乐评观点层次化:差评与好评对比呈现
4. 宗教元素谨慎处理:保留英文歌名并解释关联性
5. 长乐评拆解重组:将复合艺术评价分解为中文短句)
