Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Every time when I look in the mirror

每次当我看着镜子

All these lines on my face getting clearer

我脸上所有的皱纹都越来越清晰

The past is gone

往事已逝

It went by, like dusk to dawn

如朝夕更替，匆匆流逝

Isn't that the way

人生不就是这样吗

Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

每个人都要为生活付出代价

...

...

I know nobody knows

我知道没人知道

Where it comes and where it goes

它从何而来，又去向何方

I know it's everybody sin

我知道这是每个人的原罪

You got to lose to know how to win

不经历失败，怎能懂得如何成功

...

...

Half my life's in books, written pages

我半生都在书页和文字中度过

Live and learn from fools and from sages

向智者和愚者学习，在生活中成长

You know it's true, oh

你知道这是真的，哦

All the things come back to you

一切终将回到你身边

Sing with me, sing for the year

与我同唱，为这年华而歌

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

为欢笑而歌，为泪水而歌

Sing with me, if it's just for today

与我同唱，哪怕仅为今日

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

也许明天，上帝会将你带走

...

...

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year

耶，与我同唱，为这年华而歌

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

为欢笑而歌，为泪水而歌

Sing with me, if it's just for today

与我同唱，哪怕仅为今日

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream until your dreams come true

直到你的梦想成真

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream until your dream come through

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream on, ah!

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Grammar:

• All these lines on my face getting clearer

  ➔ 现在分词 "getting" 充当形容词。

  ➔ "Getting" 修饰 "lines"，描述了它们日益清晰。这是一个简化的关系从句（例如，“All these lines on my face which are getting clearer”）。

• The past is gone, It went by, like dusk to dawn

  ➔ 短语 "like dusk to dawn" 创建了一个明喻，将过去的流逝与白天和黑夜之间的快速过渡进行了比较。
