 Cardi B left U.S. talk show host Jimmy Fallon lost for words after explaining the unexpected meaning behind a line in her new single 'Up'.

卡迪·B (Cardi B)在美国脱口秀节目《吉米秀》中解释新单曲《UP》背后的意义让主持人吉米·法伦(Jimmy Fallon)说不出话来。

The WAP hitmaker is known for her raunchy lyrics, but she caught comedian Fallon off-guard on Thursday as she revealed one part of the song originally referred to an uncomfortable constipation situation. The line in question, which she had borrowed from her husband, Migos rapper Offset, is: "If it's up, then it's stuck".

这位创作《WAP》的流行歌手以其粗俗的歌词闻名，但上周四她透露，这首歌的一部分原指便秘时候不舒服的状态，让喜剧演员吉米猝不及防。她说这句话是从她丈夫(Migos的说唱歌手Offset)那里借来的:“If it's up, then it's stuck”(如果它向上，那么它就卡住了)”。

During The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon interview, Cardi admitted she initially thought it was a "Georgia thing" as Offset, who is from the state, says it  "a lot", but she soon learned fans from other Southern U.S. states are also familiar with the phrase, so she was inspired to use it too.

在《吉米今夜秀》的采访中，卡迪B承认一开始她认为这是“乔治亚州特产”，因为Offset是乔治亚州出身，这句话经常挂在嘴边，但是之后她了解到美国南方其他州也有类似的表达方法，因此受此启发，用在新歌中。

"Um, so have you ever taken a poop, right, and it don't come out?" Cardi began to explain, as the stunned funnyman looked down at his desk.

"It's just up and it's stuck. Yeah," she shared.

“嗯，就你有拉屎，它就是不出来经历吗?”卡迪B开始解释，滑稽演员吉米目瞪口呆地低头看着他的桌子。

“它只是向上，然后卡住了。是的,”她分享说道。

funnyman ：滑稽演员，幽默作家

After an awkward silence, Fallon uttered, "Wow," while Cardi simply nodded.

"I mean, I guess you can take from it whatever you want. There's other ways to look at it, I guess," Fallon reasoned, as Cardi agreed, "It's a metaphorical quote." Music News

在一阵尴尬的沉默之后，吉米说了一声“哇”，而卡迪B只是点了点头。

“我的意思是，我想你可以从中得到任何你想要的东西。我想，还有其他的方式来看待它，”吉米推断道，正如卡迪所同意的那样，“这是一个隐喻性的引用。” 音乐新闻
