Key Grammar Structures
-
你曾像一束光 融化我的悲伤
➔ Past tense with '曾' indicating a past experience/state.
➔ The sentence uses '曾' (céng) to indicate that the person *used to be* like a beam of light. It's not necessarily still true. The verb '融化' (rónghuà - melt) describes the effect of that light on the speaker's sadness. The structure is Subject-Verb-Object.
-
快乐都被你没收 心被带走
➔ Passive voice with '被' (bèi) indicating the happiness was taken away.
➔ This line uses the '被' (bèi) structure, which indicates a passive voice. The speaker's happiness ('快乐') was *taken away* ('没收' - moshou - confiscated) *by you*. The second part, '心被带走' (xīn bèi dài zǒu - heart was taken away), continues this passive construction.
-
能不能再来爱我一次
➔ Modal particle '能' (néng) expressing ability or possibility, followed by a request/question.
➔ This is a direct question asking if it's *possible* to love the speaker again. '能' (néng) indicates the possibility or ability to do something. The '再' (zài) emphasizes 'again'.
-
就抱紧我 纠缠我
➔ Use of '就' (jiù) to indicate 'then' or 'simply', emphasizing immediacy.
➔ '就' (jiù) here means 'then' or 'simply'. It's a plea: 'Then just hold me tight, cling to me'. '抱紧' (bào jǐn) means 'hold tightly', and '纠缠' (jiūchán) means 'entangle' or 'cling'.
