But this summer, a retro and slightly dark album has emerged as an instant hit. 传统的夏季音乐大都节奏欢快、朗朗上口，然而今年夏天，一张充满复古风，略带暗黑气质的专辑却突然火了。 Ultraviolence, Lana Del Rey’s latest and third album, sold 182,000 copies in the US during its first week (June 17 to 22), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It’s the largest album sale week for a female artist since Beyonce’s self-titled surprise album in December. It also became Del Rey’s first No 1 album on the Billboard 200 album chart. 根据尼尔森公司的音乐数据，拉娜?德蕾的第三张必威体育精装版专辑《超暴力》，在美国发型首周（6月17日-22日）就卖出了18万2千张。这个销量也成为自去年12月碧昂斯发布同名专辑之后，女歌手专辑单周销量第一。同时，《超暴力》也是拉娜?德蕾首张位列《公告牌》200专辑榜单的冠军专辑。 Just about two years ago, when the 28-year-old US singer released her major-label debut album Born to Die, everything about her was the target of critics: her hip-hop-inflected baroque-pop music style, her awkward live performances, her background, and even her physical appearance. 就在两年之前，这位28岁的美国歌手发行首张个人专辑《为死而生》，当时她广受批评：不论是带有hip-hop风格的的巴洛克式流行音乐风格，亦或她蹩脚的现场演出，甚至她的外形与家庭背景都成为众矢之的。 As time went on and the outrage died down, somewhere in between the unexpected success of Summertime Sadness and the sweeping Great Gatsby theme Young amp; Beautiful last year, the people screaming “Lana Del Rey sucks” changed their tune. She was embraced — and even adored. 而随着时间的推移，媒体对她的各种诟病渐渐褪去，不知不觉间，她的单曲“Summertime Sadness”取得了出乎意料的成功，去年为电影《了不起的盖茨比》演唱的主题曲“Young amp; Beautiful”亦是横扫千军，那些高喊着“拉娜?德蕾逊爆了”的人们也一改论调。如今，拉娜?德蕾已经为人接受，甚至大受宠爱。 Ultraviolence is very much a response to all of that. It seems that the storm has passed, and now, Del Rey has something to say. It’s an album filled with a deep rage and a strong sense of sarcasm. The hip-hop beats and yelps in the distance, which colored her debut and the follow-up EP Paradise, have gone. Instead, the songs are more structurally complex, muted by a lo-fi vintage rock haze — a “fuzz”,
