Choose Your Fighter
歌词:
[English]
You can be a lover or a fighter, whatever you desire
Life is like a runway and you're the designer
Wings of a butterfly, eyes of a tiger
Whatever you want, baby, choose your fighter
I know this world can be a little
Confusing, no walk in the park
But I can help you solve the riddle
You're perfect as you are
If you wanna break out of the box, wanna call all of the shots
If you wanna be sweet or be soft, then, go off
If you wanna go six inch or flat, wanna wear hot pink or black
Don't let nobody tell you you can't, 'cause you can
You can be a lover or a fighter, whatever you desire
Life is like a runway and you're the designer
Wings of a butterfly, eyes of a tiger
Whatever you want, baby, choose your fighter
...
Choose your fighter
...
Choose your fighter
A pretty knight in shining diamonds
A beauty queen in camouflage
It's giving thunder and lightning
When you give it all you got
If you wanna break out of the box, wanna call all of the shots
If you wanna be sweet or be soft, then, go off (oh)
If you wanna go six inch or flat, wanna wear hot pink or black
Don't let nobody tell you you can't, 'cause you can
You can be a lover or a fighter, whatever you desire
Life is like a runway and you're the designer
Wings of a butterfly, eyes of a tiger (oh)
Whatever you want, baby, choose your fighter
Whoa, choose your fighter
...
Oh, choose your fighter
Wings of a butterfly, eyes of a tiger
Whatever you want, baby, choose your fighter
...

语法:
-
You can be a lover or a fighter, whatever you desire
➔ 情态动词'can'表示能力/可能性; 'or' 表示选择；关系代词 'whatever' 引导名词性从句。
➔ 在这里，“can”表示选择任何角色的能力。“Whatever you desire”充当“be”的宾语，表明选择是无限的。“or”的使用表示二选一的选项，暗示必须做出决定。
-
Life is like a runway and you're the designer
➔ 使用 'like' 的明喻进行比较；并列连词 'and' 连接两个独立分句。
➔ “Life is like a runway” 直接将生活比作跑道，使用“like”来表示相似之处。“and” 将此陈述与第二个独立分句“you're the designer”连接起来，通过将个人比作自己生活的设计师，进一步扩展了隐喻。
-
I know this world can be a little Confusing, no walk in the park
➔ 情态动词'can' 表示可能性；省略号（省略词语）在 'no walk in the park'（暗示：it is）。
➔ “Can” 表示世界有可能令人困惑。“No walk in the park” 是一种习语，暗示某事不容易，省略的词语传达了完整的思想。
-
But I can help you solve the riddle
➔ 情态动词'can' 表示能力；不定式 'to solve' 用作 'help' 的宾语补语。
➔ “Can” 表示说话者有能力提供帮助。“To solve” 解释了说话者可以帮助的行动，紧随动词“help”之后。
-
If you wanna break out of the box, wanna call all of the shots
➔ 非正式的“wanna”（想要）；零条件句（如果条件满足，则隐含后果）；习语“call the shots”。
➔ “Wanna” 是 “want to” 的缩写，表示非正式。“Call the shots” 是一个习语，意思是掌控全局。
-
Don't let nobody tell you you can't, 'cause you can
➔ 双重否定（非正式用法）；情态动词'can' 表示能力；'cause (because)'
➔ “Don't let nobody tell you” 使用了双重否定，虽然在正式英语中语法不正确，但在非正式口语中强调了这一点。“Can” 强调了人们有能力做他们下定决心要做的事情。“Cause” 是 “because” 的非正式版本。
