迷惘的女人？

Comment: "试译：
1970年 约翰·列侬和大野洋子发布声明，称他们将双双施行变性手术。到头来，洋子未能变成大腕唱片艺人；列侬至死也没有变成女儿身。
说明：“这首歌”其实是该文作者为了调侃而瞎编的，仿照了列侬生前的最后一首歌：Nowhere Man。"

商榷
jyuan_us 所提‘迷惘的女人’译得很雅。
但考虑是歌词，‘迷茫（失）的女人’更易上口。
约翰 列侬曾写过‘Nowhere Man’，根据歌词内容，译成‘迷茫（失）的男人’，这篇显然是姊妹篇，只是未来得及发表，
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la
Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la
