문법:

• Yes, you've seen me here before, before

  ➔ 现在完成时 (have/has + 过去分词)

  ➔ “现在完成时”表示在不确定的时间之前完成的动作。“before”的重复强调了过去的经历。

• No wonder why the road seems so long

  ➔ 惯用表达 "难怪..."

  ➔ “难怪”引入了一个解释先前情况的陈述。它表明，道路看起来很长的原因现在可以理解了。

• Before I was born there was a storm

  ➔ 过去式 (was) 加上一个用 "before" 引导的时间状语从句

  ➔ 这个句子使用 "过去式" 来描述一个发生在另一个过去事件（说话者的出生）之前的过去事件（暴风雨）。"Before" 确立了时间顺序。

• So that when I become someone one day / I will always remember that I came from nothing

  ➔ "So that" (目的状语从句) + 一般将来时 (will)

  ➔ "So that" 引导一个目的状语从句，解释了说话者未来行动（成为某人）的原因。“一般将来时”描述了说话者记住自己出身的意图。

• I'm sending my condolence to fear

  ➔ 现在进行时 (be + -ing) 和 "condolence" 的比喻用法

  ➔ “现在进行时” 强调发送的动作正在发生或正在进行中。“Condolence” 用作比喻，并不意味着对死亡的悲伤，而是消除或克服恐惧。

• For what you might say / Might bring someone downhill

  ➔ 情态动词 (might) 表示可能性

  ➔ "Might" 表示一种较弱的可能性。它暗示着某人所说的话可能会对他人产生负面影响，但这不是必然的。
