I Have Nothing

我一無(wú)所有

"I Have Nothing" is a song by American singer Whitney Houston, released as the third single from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album (1992) on February 20, 1993, by Arista Records. The song was written by David Foster and Linda Thompson, and produced by Foster. The song is a richly orchestrated power ballad about deep love and the confusion that happens to lovers because of the different perceptions of women and men when it comes to commitment to one's lover.

“我一無(wú)所有”是美國(guó)歌手惠特尼·休斯頓的一首歌，1993年2月20日，阿里斯塔唱片公司發(fā)行了"保鏢：原聲帶專輯"（1992年），她是其中的第三首單曲。這首歌是大衛(wèi) 福斯特和琳達(dá) 湯普森創(chuàng)作的，由福斯特制作。這首歌是一首管弦樂表現(xiàn)豐富的充滿力量的民謠，講述的是深深的愛情以及戀人之間在做出承諾時(shí)因男女的不同看法所造成的困惑。

After the back-to-back successes of Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and "I'm Every Woman," "I Have Nothing" became yet another hit, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The song also became a hit on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, with a number four peak, and a number-one peak on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Houston established another historic milestone in Billboard chart history with the two previous singles off the soundtrack and this song, becoming the first artist to have three songs inside the top 11 of the Hot 100 chart in the same week since the chart began using Broadcast Data System and SoundScan data in 1991. Internationally, the song reached number one in Canada, the top five in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the top ten in Denmark and Portugal, and peaked within the top forty in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. It received various nominations, including for Best Original Song at the 1993 Academy Awards, for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television at the 36th Grammy Awards of 1994, and for Best R&B Single, Female at the 1994 Soul Train Music Awards.

在休斯頓的“我永遠(yuǎn)愛你”和“我是每一個(gè)女人”的一個(gè)接一個(gè)的成功之后，“我一無(wú)所有”又一次成為熱門話題，在公告牌熱曲100達(dá)到第四位，并被美國(guó)唱片業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)認(rèn)證為金獎(jiǎng)。這首歌也成為了公告牌R&B熱門單曲排行榜上的熱門歌曲，排名最高達(dá)第四名，并且在公告牌成人當(dāng)代歌曲排行榜上榮登榜首。休斯頓在公告牌排行榜歷史上建立了另一個(gè)歷史性的里程碑，由于之前的兩首單曲和這首歌，她成為自1991年該排行榜開始使用廣播數(shù)據(jù)系統(tǒng)和聲音掃描數(shù)據(jù)以來，同一周內(nèi)第一個(gè)在熱曲100排行榜前11首歌擁有三首歌曲的藝術(shù)家。在國(guó)際上，這首歌在加拿大名列第一，在愛爾蘭和英國(guó)名列前五，在丹麥和葡萄牙名列前十，在澳大利亞、德國(guó)、荷蘭、新西蘭和瑞士名列前四十。它獲得了各種提名，包括1993年奧斯卡最佳原創(chuàng)歌曲獎(jiǎng)、1994年第36屆格萊美獎(jiǎng)電影或電視劇最佳歌曲獎(jiǎng)、1994年靈魂列車音樂獎(jiǎng)最佳R&B單曲、女性最佳歌曲獎(jiǎng)。

The song was promoted by Houston with live performances on her worldwide concert tour, The Bodyguard World Tour (1993–94) only, and also at various awards ceremonies and concerts such as the 4th Billboard Music Awards in 1993, the 21st American Music Awards in 1994, Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa in 1994, and the 1st BET Awards in 2001. "I Have Nothing" also features on compilations like Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000) and Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances (2014).

這首歌的推廣只是依靠了休斯頓的全球巡回演唱會(huì) - 保鏢世界巡回演唱會(huì)（1993-94年）上的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演進(jìn)行了推廣，以及各種頒獎(jiǎng)典禮和音樂會(huì)來宣傳。如1993年的第四屆公告牌音樂獎(jiǎng)、1994年的第21屆美國(guó)音樂獎(jiǎng)、1994年的惠特尼：新南非的演唱會(huì)和2001年的第一次BET獎(jiǎng)。“我一無(wú)所有”也收錄進(jìn)了“惠特尼：精選集“（2000年）和”惠特尼休斯頓現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出：她的最偉大的表演“（2014年）之中。

As with much of Houston's material, the song has been an extremely popular choice on many reality television series around the world, in particular American Idol, on which it has become one of the most performed songs ever, having been covered six times since 2003.

與休斯頓的許多歌曲一樣，這首歌在世界各地的許多電視真人秀節(jié)目中都是非常受歡迎的選擇，尤其是“美國(guó)偶像”，這首歌自2003年以來已經(jīng)被翻唱了六次，成為有史以來最受歡迎的歌曲之一。
