Key Grammar Structures
-
男孩們 來約我 一般送花
➔ Subject-Verb-Object order; Use of 一般 (yì bān) as an adverb.
➔ The sentence follows the basic Chinese sentence structure. "一般 (yì bān)" modifies the verb "送花 (sòng huā)", meaning "usually" or "generally".
-
而無人 能似你 親手種花
➔ Use of 能 (néng) to express ability; comparative structure using 似 (sì).
➔ "能 (néng)" indicates the ability to do something. "似 (sì)" is used in comparison, meaning "like" or "similar to". The sentence says no one can be "like" you in planting flowers personally.
-
但男孩像你 不要我下嫁
➔ Use of "不要 (bù yào)" indicating a refusal or lack of desire; Implied subject in the second part of the sentence.
➔ "不要 (bù yào)" means "don't want". The implied subject of "下嫁 (xià jià)" is the speaker (我, wǒ). The boy is "like you" but doesn't want me to marry (him).
-
你會說 是命運 你與我 其實熟得很
➔ Use of "會 (huì)" to indicate a prediction or expectation; Adverbial use of "其實 (qí shí)"; Degree complement "得很 (de hěn)"
➔ "會 (huì)" here suggests a prediction of what the person would say. "其實 (qí shí)" means "actually". "得很 (de hěn)" shows a high degree, meaning "very". So, you would say it's fate, and we are actually very familiar.
-
但他總比較親
➔ Use of "總 (zǒng)" indicating always; comparative structure using "比較 (bǐ jiào)".
➔ "總 (zǒng)" means "always". "比較 (bǐ jiào)" means "comparatively" or "relatively". So, "但他總比較親 (dàn tā zǒng bǐ jiào qīn)" means "But he's always relatively closer (to you)".
-
像個世上最壞 愛情童話
➔ Use of "像 (xiàng)" indicating resemblance; Adjective + 的 + Noun structure to modify the noun.
➔ "像 (xiàng)" means "like" or "resembles". "最壞 (zuì huài)" means "the worst". "世上最壞 (shì shàng zuì huài) 的愛情童話 (ài qíng tóng huà)" modifies "愛情童話 (ài qíng tóng huà)" (love fairytale), meaning "the worst love fairytale in the world".
-
就算都算相愛 仍然沒法 比兄妹浪漫更多
➔ Use of "就算 (jiù suàn)" introducing a hypothetical situation; Adverb "仍然 (réng rán)" meaning still; comparative structure using "比 (bǐ)" and "更多 (gèng duō)".
➔ "就算 (jiù suàn)" means "even if". "仍然 (réng rán)" means "still". "比 (bǐ) ... 更多 (gèng duō)" is a comparative structure. So, even if we are in love, it still can't be more romantic than a brother-sister relationship.
