Gramática:

• How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man?

  ➔ 情态动词“must”表示义务/必要性/可能性, 疑问句构成 (主谓倒装), 条件从句 (Before + 从句)。

  ➔ 这一句使用情态动词“must”来表达一种必要性。 疑问句形式是一种修辞手法。“Before you call him a man?” 引入了一个需要满足的条件。

• How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand?

  ➔ 情态动词“must”（与前一个例子类似用法），虚拟语气（暗示），条件从句。

  ➔ 再次，“must”表示必要性。 这句话暗示了一种假设的情况，需要在达到最终状态之前采取一系列行动。 'Before' 从句中隐含着虚拟语气。

• Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned?

  ➔ 情态动词“must”，被动语态 (“they're banned”)，频率副词 (“forever”)，条件从句。

  ➔ 这句话继续使用 “must” 来质疑在特定事件之前需要做的事情。 被动语态强调了对炮弹采取的行动。 “Forever” 指定了禁令的持续时间。

• Yes, 'n' how many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea?

  ➔ 情态动词“can”表示可能性，被动语态 (it's washed)，条件从句。

  ➔ “Can” 表示一座山在一定时期内存在的可能性。 被动语态 “it's washed” 表明这座山受到了自然力量的作用。

• Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free?

  ➔ 情态动词“can”，带情态动词的被动语态 (they're allowed)，目的不定式 (to be free)，条件从句。

  ➔ “Can” 表达了人们存在的可能性或潜力。 “They're allowed” 表明自由是由外部权威授予的。 “To be free” 阐明了预期的结果。

• Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see?

  ➔ 情态动词“can”，动词“pretend”+ “that”从句（报告一个想法），否定副词 “doesn't”。

  ➔ “Can” 表示一个人转头的可能性或能力。“Pretend that...” 用于报告某人的内心想法。 “Doesn't see” 是一个否定陈述，表示该人的否认或无知。

• Yes, 'n' how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky?

  ➔ 情态动词“must” 和 “can”，条件从句 (Before + 从句)

  ➔ 这句话使用了两个情态动词：“must” 强调了抬头的必要性，而 “can” 表达了在执行该操作后看到天空的能力。“Before” 从句指示条件。
