Grammaire:

  • Maybe *we make* a deal

    ➔ Présent simple (Utilisation future)

    ➔ Le présent simple est utilisé ici pour exprimer un accord ou un arrangement futur possible. C'est courant lorsqu'on suggère une action ou un plan potentiel. « Maybe *we make* a deal » implique un résultat futur conditionnel.

  • Managed *to save* just a little bit of money

    ➔ Infinitif de but après 'Managed'

    ➔ « Managed *to save* » indique la réussite d'une action. L'infinitif « to save » explique le but de la gestion, qui est d'accumuler de l'argent. « Manage » exige généralement un infinitif.

  • His body's *too young to look* like his

    ➔ Trop + Adjectif + Pour + Infinitif

    ➔ Cette structure indique que quelque chose est excessif ou au-delà d'une limite. « Too young *to look* » signifie que la jeunesse de son corps l'empêche de paraître aussi vieux qu'il l'est réellement. Cela implique un décalage important entre l'apparence et l'âge réel.

  • She wanted *more from life than he could give*

    ➔ Structure comparative avec 'Than'

    ➔ Cette phrase utilise « more than » pour comparer les désirs de la femme à ce que son partenaire pouvait offrir. « More from life *than he could give* » souligne la disparité entre ses aspirations et les capacités de celui-ci. Cela crée la raison de son départ.

  • Is it fast enough *so we can fly away*?

    ➔ Proposition de résultat 'So + Can'

    ➔ Ici, « so we can fly away » indique le résultat ou le but recherché de la rapidité de la voiture. La vitesse de la voiture est directement liée à leur capacité à échapper à leur situation actuelle. La proposition explique *pourquoi* l'orateur s'enquiert de la vitesse de la voiture.

  • Speed so fast, *I felt like I was drunk*

    ➔ Similitude avec 'Like'

    ➔ Ceci utilise « like » pour créer une comparaison, comparant la sensation de la vitesse à la sensation d'être ivre. Il souligne la nature désorientante et accablante de l'expérience.

  • You still *ain't got* a job

    ➔ Contraction et auxiliaire négatif

    ➔ « Ain't got » est une contraction et une forme non standard de « haven't got » ou « hasn't got ». Il est souvent utilisé dans le langage informel pour exprimer le manque de quelque chose. En anglais plus formel, ce serait « You still haven't got a job » ou « You still don't have a job ».

  • I'd always hoped *for better*

    ➔ Conditionnel passé (Implicite)

    ➔ « I'd always hoped » implique un espoir passé qui ne s'est pas réalisé. La phrase suggère « I had always hoped for better, *but it didn't happen* ». Cela traduit un sentiment de déception et d'attentes non réalisées.
