Key Grammar Structures
-
At last, I know just how you felt
➔ 时间状语短语; 间接疑问句
➔ "At last" 是一个表示时间的副词短语。 "How you felt" 作为 "know" 的宾语,构成一个间接疑问句。 它不是一个直接问题,例如 "How did you feel?"
-
Expecting more than just the skin
➔ 表示原因/结果的现在分词短语
➔ "Expecting more..." 充当一个修饰主语(I)的短语,并且暗示了先前动作(digging fingers in)的原因。这表明说话者正在挖掘是因为他们期望更多。
-
I can feel like a motorbike
➔ 使用“like”的比喻
➔ 该短语使用“like”来创建一个比喻,将说话者的感觉与摩托车的感觉进行比较。 这是一种表达力量感、自由感或强烈感的比喻方式。
-
And I will fuck you Like nothing matters
➔ 使用“like”的方式状语从句
➔ "Like nothing matters"是一个方式状语从句,描述了说话者将如何执行该动作。 它强调了该行为的鲁莽和放纵。
-
We’ve got the highway tight
➔ 比喻/隐喻 (拟人化)
➔ 这个短语使用比喻。 高速公路字面上并不是“tight”,但这个词意味着对高速公路的强大、也许是占有性的控制或所有权。 这也可能意味着这条路对他们来说是安全的。
-
Even when the cold comes crashing through
➔ 使用“when”的时间状语从句; 用一般现在时表示将来
➔ "Even when the cold comes crashing through" 是一个时间状语从句。 虽然事件(寒冷来袭)发生在未来,但使用了简单现在时 "comes",这在表达未来可能性的 'when' 从句中很典型。 "Crashing through" 是一个生动的短语动词。
-
I hope they never understand us
➔ 虚拟语气(暗示)
➔ 虽然在英语中没有明确使用虚拟语气形式(这种情况变得越来越少见),但这句话表达了一种愿望或期望,这通常与虚拟语气一致。 暗示的情感是,“我希望他们永远不会理解我们”,尽管现在更常使用 “will”。
