歌词与翻译
通过《Ceremony》学习英语歌词中的诗意隐喻与情感张力:这首歌以循环往复的'forever'副歌结构帮助掌握英语重复修辞,精妙的'uplifting melancholy'情绪表达是理解矛盾修饰法的典范。作为后朋克转向新浪潮的里程碑,其歌词承载着生命循环、爱与失去的哲思,重复出现的'Watching love grow'等意象让语言学习融入音乐美学体验。

Watching love graw, forever
➔ 带有动词 + 宾语 的非限定子句
➔ “Watching love graw”使用现在分词“watching”,后跟宾语“love”和修饰动词“graw”,作用类似于没有主语的从句。“grow”的拼写错误是一种艺术许可。
