Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Will help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So, I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

문법:

• Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

  ➔ 现在分词作形容词 ('roasting')

  ➔ 单词 "roasting" 是现在分词用作形容词，修饰名词 "chestnuts"。它描述了栗子正在进行的动作。这比说 "Chestnuts that are roasting..." 更简洁。

• Jack Frost nipping at your nose

  ➔ 现在分词 ('nipping')，在省略的关系从句或状语修饰语中。

  ➔ "Nipping" 作为对 Jack Frost 正在做什么的描述。它暗示着 Jack Frost 是 "who is nipping at your nose"，一个缩略关系从句。

• Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

  ➔ 主谓一致 ('everybody knows')

  ➔ "Everybody" 是一个单数不定代词，因此采用单数动词形式 "knows"。

• Will help to make the season bright

  ➔ 将来时态 ('will help') 和目的不定式 ('to make')

  ➔ "Will help" 表达一个将来的动作。 "To make" 表达了帮助的目的，解释了他们为什么要帮助。

• Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

  ➔ 介词短语 ('with their eyes all aglow') 修饰 'tiny tots'

  ➔ 介词短语 "with their eyes all aglow" 描述了 "tiny tots" 的状态。它为主语添加了描述性的细节。

• Will find it hard to sleep tonight

  ➔ 将来时态 ('will find')，用 'it' 作为占位符主语，不定式短语 ('to sleep') 作为真正的主语。

  ➔ 使用 "it" 作为占位符，可以使句子结构更自然，特别是当主语是一个较长的不定式短语时。 不说 "To sleep tonight will be hard for them"，而是将句子重新排列为使用 "it"。

• They know that Santa's on his way

  ➔ 缩写形式 ('Santa's') 以及 'is' 的省略 (Santa is on his way --> Santa's on his way)

  ➔ 缩写形式 'Santa's' 是缩短 "Santa is" 的常用方法，使句子更具对话性和非正式性。

• To see if reindeer really know how to fly

  ➔ 间接疑问句 ('if reindeer really know how to fly')

  ➔ 这是一个间接疑问句，因为它嵌入在一个更大的陈述 ("To see") 中。 语序与陈述句相同，而不是直接疑问句。 与 "Do reindeer really know how to fly?" (直接疑问句) 进行比较。

• Although it's been said many times, many ways

  ➔ 现在完成时的被动语态 ('it's been said')，在一个状语从句 ('Although...') 中

  ➔ 现在完成时的被动语态 "it's been said" 表示一个过去某个不确定的时间发生的并且持续相关的动作。状语从句 "Although..." 引入了一个对比的想法。
