Ngữ pháp:

• The times we had hanging on my wall

  ➔ 关系从句的简化形式（现在分词）

  ➔ 代替说 'The times which we had *hanging* on my wall...' ，关系代词 'which' 和助动词被省略，只留下现在分词 'hanging'。 这使得句子更加简洁。

• Cause they laugh and they cry me

  ➔ 非常规动词使用（比喻）

  ➔ 动词 "laugh" 和 "cry" 被用作及物动词，'me' 作为宾语。 这在语法上不是标准的，但传达了强烈的感情影响。 这些回忆深刻地影响了说话者，以至于可以说它们 '笑' 和 '哭' *他*。

• Somehow sanctify me

  ➔ 带抽象宾语的及物动词（比喻）

  ➔ 动词 "sanctify" 以 "me" 作为宾语，暗示这些回忆对说话者具有净化或救赎的作用。 这是一种比喻用法，使这些回忆充满了精神意义。

• Dusted off those memories

  ➔ 短语动词

  ➔ "Dusted off" 是一个短语动词，意思是擦拭干净以去除灰尘，或重温或刷新过去的事物。

• Cause a few simple verses Was the least that I could do

  ➔ 主谓倒装（强调）

  ➔ 正常的语序是 "A few simple verses was the least that I could do." 然而，词作者颠倒了主语和动词的顺序，以强调姿态的渺小或不足（'a few simple verses'）。

• Will live on long after

  ➔ 将来时 + 副词 'long after'

  ➔ 将来时 "will live" 和副词短语 "long after" 的组合指定了在某个特定时间点之后发生的动作的持续时间。
