Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

直到灯光黯淡，你才渴望光明

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

直到白雪飘落，你才想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有跌落谷底，才知曾身处巅峰

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有想家的时候，你才厌倦旅途

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

And you let her go

你让她走了

Staring at the bottom of your glass

凝视着杯底的空虚

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

盼望有一天能留住美梦

But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

但美梦来得迟缓，去得飞快

You see her when you close your eyes

闭上双眼，你就能看见她

Maybe one day, you'll understand why

也许有一天，你会明白其中缘由

Everything you touch surely dies

你所触碰的一切终将逝去

But you only need the light when it's burning low

直到灯光黯淡，你才渴望光明

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

直到白雪飘落，你才想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有跌落谷底，才知曾身处巅峰

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有想家的时候，你才厌倦旅途

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

黑暗中凝视着天花板

Same old empty feeling in your heart

心中还是那份空虚

'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast

因为爱来得迟缓，去得飞快

Well, you see her when you fall asleep

入睡时，你就能看见她

But never to touch and never to keep

却永远无法触碰，永远无法拥有

'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep

因为你爱得太深，陷得太深

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

直到灯光黯淡，你才渴望光明

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

直到白雪飘落，你才想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有跌落谷底，才知曾身处巅峰

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有想家的时候，你才厌倦旅途

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

And you let her go

你让她走了

Oh, oh, mm, oh

哦，哦，嗯，哦

And you let her go

你让她走了

Oh, oh, uh, uh

哦，哦，呃，呃

Well, you let her go

你让她走了

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

因为直到灯光黯淡，你才渴望光明

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

直到白雪飘落，你才想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有跌落谷底，才知曾身处巅峰

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

直到白雪飘落，你才想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

直到你放手，才明白你爱她

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

只有跌落谷底，才知曾身处巅峰

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Grammar:

• Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

  ➔ 频率副词 + 条件从句

  ➔ 使用频率副词 “only” 来强调条件关系。“When it's burning low” 充当条件从句，指出需要光的情况。

• Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

  ➔ 频率副词 + 时间从句

  ➔ 同样，“only” 突出显示条件。“When it starts to snow” 是一个时间从句，设定了想念太阳的条件。

• Only know you love her when you let her go

  ➔ 频率副词 + 时间从句 / 复杂句结构

  ➔ 这句重复了这个模式，但关键是要理解 “when” 所建立的时间联系。 对爱的认识只有在放手*之后*才会到来。

• Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

  ➔ 现在分词作省略关系从句 / 将来时

  ➔ “Hoping” 是一个现在分词，用作省略的关系从句（相当于 “while he is hoping”）。“You'll” 是 “you will” 的缩写，表示将来时。

• Everything you touch surely dies

  ➔ 关系从句 / 确定性的副词

  ➔ “You touch” 是一个关系从句，修饰 “everything”。 “Surely” 是一个副词，表示高度的确定性。

• But never to touch and never to keep

  ➔ 否定不定式短语

  ➔ 结构 “never to + 动词” 创建了一个否定不定式短语，强调了动作的不可能性。

• Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep

  ➔ 程度副词 / 过去简单时

  ➔ “Too much” 和 “too deep” 是修饰动词的程度副词。 过去简单时用于描述过去已完成的动作。
