I Have Nothing

我一无所有

"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.

“我一无所有”是美国歌手惠特尼·休斯顿的一首歌，1993年2月20日，阿里斯塔唱片公司发行了"保镖：原声带专辑"（1992年），她是其中的第三首单曲。这首歌是大卫福斯特和琳达汤普森创作的，由福斯特制作。这首歌是一首管弦乐表现丰富的充满力量的民谣，讲述的是深深的爱情以及恋人之间在做出承诺时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.

在休斯顿的“我永远爱你”和“我是每一个女人”的一个接一个的成功之后，“我一无所有”又一次成为热门话题，在公告牌热曲100达到第四位，并被美国唱片业协会认证为金奖。这首歌也成为了公告牌R&B热门单曲排行榜上的热门歌曲，排名最高达第四名，并且在公告牌成人当代歌曲排行榜上荣登榜首。休斯顿在公告牌排行榜历史上建立了另一个历史性的里程碑，由于之前的两首单曲和这首歌，她成为自1991年该排行榜开始使用广播数据系统和声音扫描数据以来，同一周内第一个在热曲100排行榜前11首歌拥有三首歌曲的艺术家。在国际上，这首歌在加拿大名列第一，在爱尔兰和英国名列前五，在丹麦和葡萄牙名列前十，在澳大利亚、德国、荷兰、新西兰和瑞士名列前四十。它获得了各种提名，包括1993年奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲奖、1994年第36届格莱美奖电影或电视剧最佳歌曲奖、1994年灵魂列车音乐奖最佳R&B单曲、女性最佳歌曲奖。

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).

这首歌的推广只是依靠了休斯顿的全球巡回演唱会 - 保镖世界巡回演唱会（1993-94年）上的现场表演进行了推广，以及各种颁奖典礼和音乐会来宣传。如1993年的第四届公告牌音乐奖、1994年的第21届美国音乐奖、1994年的惠特尼：新南非的演唱会和2001年的第一次BET奖。“我一无所有”也收录进了“惠特尼：精选集“（2000年）和”惠特尼休斯顿现场演出：她的最伟大的表演“（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.

与休斯顿的许多歌曲一样，这首歌在世界各地的许多电视真人秀节目中都是非常受欢迎的选择，尤其是“美国偶像”，这首歌自2003年以来已经被翻唱了六次，成为有史以来最受欢迎的歌曲之一。
