Key Grammar Structures
-
Ay, 当我发给你天空的照片. (Ay Dāng wǒ fā gěi nǐ tiānkōng de zhàopiàn.)
➔ "当...的时候" (dāng...de shíhòu) - "when..." clause; "Verb + 给" (gěi) - indicating recipient/direction.
➔ The structure "当..." (dāng) is used to introduce a time clause, similar to "when" in English. "发给你" (fā gěi nǐ) uses the verb "发" (fā - to send) followed by "给" (gěi), which here acts as a directional complement indicating the recipient ("你" - you).
-
你明白我又在想你了. (Nǐ míngbái wǒ yòu zài xiǎng nǐle.)
➔ "又...了" (yòu...le) - repetition/reoccurrence; "在 + Verb" (zài + Verb) - ongoing action.
➔ "又...了" (yòu...le) indicates that an action or situation has happened again. "在 + Verb" (zài + Verb) denotes an action that is currently in progress, similar to the '-ing' form in English. Here, "又在想你了" (yòu zài xiǎng nǐle) means 'I'm thinking of you again'.
-
再一次许愿也不想更改 (不想更改). (Zài yīcì xǔyuàn yě bùxiǎng gēnggǎi (bùxiǎng gēnggǎi).)
➔ "再...也..." (zài...yě...) - even if/again, also. Expresses a strong negation or emphasis on persistence.
➔ The structure "再...也..." (zài...yě...) emphasizes that 'even if' an action is repeated, the outcome or desire 'also' remains unchanged. Here, "再一次许愿也" (zài yīcì xǔyuàn yě) means 'even if I make a wish again,' implying a strong resolve not to change.
-
不可能漫长寂寞的等待. (Bù kěnéng màncháng jìmò dì děngdài.)
➔ "不可能" (bù kěnéng) - impossible; "Adj + 的 + Noun" (de) - adjectival modifier.
➔ "不可能" (bù kěnéng) means 'impossible' or 'it's impossible to'. "漫长寂寞的等待" (màncháng jìmò dì děngdài) uses "的" (de) to connect the adjectives "漫长" (màncháng - long/tedious) and "寂寞" (jìmò - lonely) to the noun "等待" (děngdài - wait), forming an adjectival phrase.
-
你预感帮我撑伞. (Nǐ yùgǎn bāng wǒ chēng sǎn.)
➔ "帮 + (sb) + (do sth)" (bāng... do sth) - help (someone) (do something).
➔ The verb "帮" (bāng - to help) can be followed by a person (object) and then a verb phrase, indicating 'to help someone do something'. Here, "帮我撑伞" (bāng wǒ chēng sǎn) means 'help me hold an umbrella'.
-
等雨过后太阳. (Děng yǔ guòhòu tàiyáng.)
➔ "等...过后" (děng...guòhòu) - wait until... after.
➔ The structure "等...过后" (děng...guòhòu) means 'wait until... after', indicating that an action will happen or something will appear once a specific event has concluded. Here, "等雨过后" (děng yǔ guòhòu) means 'wait until after the rain'.
-
对我青睐 为我而期待. (Duì wǒ qīnglài wèi wǒ ér qídài.)
➔ "对... (verb)" (duì...) - indicating target/object of action; "为...而..." (wèi...ér...) - for the sake of... and then....
➔ "对" (duì) is a preposition indicating the target or object of an action, so "对我青睐" (duì wǒ qīnglài) means 'show favor to me'. "为...而..." (wèi...ér...) is a formal structure meaning 'for the sake of... and then...', emphasizing purpose or cause. "为我而期待" (wèi wǒ ér qídài) means 'expect because of me' or 'expect for my sake'.
-
你对我说一句有你在. (Nǐ duì wǒ shuō yījù yǒu nǐ zài.)
➔ "对...说" (duì...shuō) - to tell someone; "有你在" (yǒu nǐ zài) - a common idiomatic expression meaning "having you here/by my side."
➔ "对...说" (duì...shuō) is the standard way to say 'to tell/say to someone'. "有你在" (yǒu nǐ zài) is a frequently used phrase where "有" (yǒu) means 'to have' and "在" (zài) means 'to be present/exist'. Together, it idiomatically means 'having you here' or 'you being by my side', conveying comfort and presence.
-
我就不停止. (Wǒ jiù bù tíngzhǐ.)
➔ "就" (jiù) - indicating a consequence, immediate result, or emphasis.
➔ "就" (jiù) is a versatile adverb that can indicate a logical consequence or immediate result, often implying 'then' or 'in that case'. Here, it suggests that if 'you are here', 'then I won't stop', emphasizing a direct link and strong resolve.
-
期限全部抛开. (Qíxiàn quánbù pāo kāi.)
➔ "全部" (quánbù) - all/entirely (adverbial); "Verb + 开" (kāi) - separable verb indicating separation or opening up.
➔ "全部" (quánbù) functions as an adverb meaning 'all' or 'entirely', modifying the verb phrase. "抛开" (pāokāi) is a separable verb, where "抛" (pāo - to throw) is the verb and "开" (kāi) is a resultative complement indicating 'openness' or 'separation'. It means to 'cast aside completely' or 'get rid of everything'.
-
没有期限 没有极限. (Méiyǒu qíxiàn méiyǒu jíxiàn.)
➔ "没有...没有..." (méiyǒu...méiyǒu...) - parallel negation, emphasizing the complete absence of multiple things.
➔ This is a parallel structure using "没有" (méiyǒu - to not have/there isn't) twice to emphatically state the absence of both 'deadline' ("期限" - qíxiàn) and 'limit' ("极限" - jíxiàn). It conveys a strong sense of freedom and boundlessness.
