Grammar:

• IF THE NIGHT TURNED COLD

  ➔ 第二条件句

  ➔ 使用“if + 过去式”，后跟“would/could/might + 动词原形”。 这表达了现在或将来不真实或不太可能发生的情况。“TURNED”是过去式，意味着夜晚目前并不寒冷，但我们正在假设。

• YOU WAKE THE MORNING IN A STRANGER'S COAT

  ➔ 一般现在时 (习惯/普遍真理)

  ➔ 虽然看起来与条件语气形成对比，但这里的一般现在时暗示了一种重复出现的假设情况，或者初始条件的一般结果。“WAKE”描述的是一种普遍行为，而不是一个特定实例。

• NO ONE WOULD YOU SEE

  ➔ 倒装 (强调)

  ➔ 标准的语序是“No one would see you”。倒装，将“would”放在“you”之前，用于强调，并增加了一种略显正式或诗意的语气。

• WHO COULD IT BE

  ➔ 间接疑问句

  ➔ 这是一个嵌入到陈述中的问题。词序是主语-动词，而不是像直接疑问句那样是动词-主语。（直接疑问句：Who could it be?）。

• IT'S HARD TO SAY IT

  ➔ 非人称 "it" + 形容词 + to不定式

  ➔ “It”在这里用作非人称代词，不指代任何特定的名词。 它介绍了一个关于说某事之困难的陈述。 真正的主语是不定式短语“to say it”。

• WHEN YOUR BELLY'S EMPTY

  ➔ 缩写 (Belly is)

  ➔ “Belly's”是“belly is”的缩写。 这在非正式的语音和歌曲歌词中很常见。 它表明所有格没有被使用，而是动词is。 “When”在这里介绍了一个时间从句。

• AND YOU'RE TOO PROUD TO BEG

  ➔ “Too + 形容词 + to + 不定式” 结构

  ➔ 这种结构表达了某事过分（too）地某种程度，从而阻止了某些行动的发生。 在这里，过分自豪会阻止该人乞讨。

• SOME WOULD SAY I SHOULD LET YOU GO YOUR WAY

  ➔ 情态动词 (Would & Should) & 间接引语

  ➔ “Would”表达了一种普遍的信念或观点。“Should”表达了建议或建议。整句话报告了其他人可能会说的话，代表间接引语。
