[English]

[中文]

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

好吧，只有在光线微弱时你才需要光

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

只有在开始下雪时你才会想念阳光

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在放手时你才知道你爱她

...

...

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

只有在感到低落时你才知道自己曾经高昂

Only hate the road when you're missing home

只有在想念家时你才会厌恶这条路

Only know you love her when you let her go

只有在放手时你才知道你爱她

And you let her go

而你放手了

...

...

Staring at the bottom of your glass

盯着你杯底的空虚

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

希望有一天你能让一个梦想持久

But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

但梦想来得慢，去得快

...

...

You see her when you close your eyes

你闭上眼睛时能看到她

Maybe one day, you'll understand why

也许有一天，你会明白为什么

Everything you touch surely dies

你所触碰的一切都注定会消逝

...

...

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

但你只有在光线微弱时才需要光

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

在黑暗中盯着天花板

Same old empty feeling in your heart

心中依旧是那种空虚的感觉

'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast

因为爱来得慢，去得快

Well, you see her when you fall asleep

好吧，你在入睡时能看到她

But never to touch and never to keep

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

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

Grammar:

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

  ➔ 用“when”引导的条件从句

  ➔ “when”一词引入一个条件；具体来说，只有在燃烧减弱的情况下，才需要光线。这不像“if”那样的假设条件，而是暗示一种经常发生的情况。

• Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

  ➔ 与“only”连用的频率副词

  ➔ 副词“only”修饰动词“miss”，强调只有在下雪的条件下，才会*只有*出现想念太阳的感觉。它强调了这种感觉的独特性。

• Only know you love her when you let her go

  ➔ 重复使用“only when”的复杂句型

  ➔ 这句话使用了“only + 助动词 + 主语 + 主要动词 + when + 从句”的结构。 短语“only when”强调了了解一个人的爱完全取决于放手的行为。

• Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

  ➔ “will”缩写为“'ll”的将来时

  ➔ 缩写“'ll”用于助动词“will”来构成将来时，表示将来的动作或状态。 这是非正式英语中常见的缩写形式。

• Everything you touch surely dies

  ➔ 方式副词“surely”

  ➔ 副词“surely”修饰动词“dies”，表示该动作的确定性或必然性。 这表明死亡注定会发生在主语触摸的任何事物上。

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

  ➔ 将“too”用作副词的加强语

  ➔ 单词“too”用在副词“much”和“deep”之前，以增强其含义，表示过度的爱和深度。 这意味着爱和情感投入是极端的。
