• 对于人生未来总有太多迷惘

  ➔ 对于 (duìyú): Preposition expressing 'regarding', 'concerning', or 'in relation to'. 太 (tài) ... 了 (le): Indicates 'too' much. (太...迷惘了 is implied).

  ➔ "对于人生未来" (duìyú rénshēng wèilái) sets the topic to the future of life. "太多的迷惘" (tài duō de mímǎng) implies there is an excessive amount of confusion. The omission of “了” at the end is common in conversational Chinese, implying there's a significant degree of confusion present.

• 你看着我眼睛

  ➔ Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) sentence structure. 看着 (kànzhe) indicates a continuous action, 'looking at'.

  ➔ Simple declarative sentence. "看着" (kànzhe) implies a focused gaze, actively watching.

• 别忘记还有我站在这里

  ➔ 别 (bié) + Verb: Negative imperative, 'don't'. 还有 (háiyǒu): 'Still have', 'also have'. 站在这里 (zhàn zài zhèlǐ): 'Standing here'.

  ➔ "别忘记" (bié wàngjì) is a gentle reminder. "还有我站在这里" (háiyǒu wǒ zhàn zài zhèlǐ) emphasizes the speaker's constant support and presence.

• 不管是多远的远方

  ➔ 不管是 (bù guǎn shì): 'No matter what', 'regardless of'. 多 (duō) + adjective: 'How' + adjective, used to ask the degree of something. Here, it's more rhetorical.

  ➔ This emphasizes that distance is no obstacle to the speaker's support. "多远的远方" (duō yuǎn de yuǎnfāng) is a rhetorical way of saying 'no matter how far away'.

• 就算不能在你身旁

  ➔ 就算 (jiùsuàn): 'Even if', 'even though'. 不能 (bùnéng): 'Cannot', 'unable to'. 在...身旁 (zài...shēn páng): 'Beside' or 'around' someone.

  ➔ This creates a hypothetical situation where the speaker is physically absent, but their support remains unwavering.
