Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
歌词:
[English]
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do some how
When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear ya any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

语法:
-
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
➔ 没有用 + verb
➔ 这个结构表达了某个动作的徒劳。"It ain't no use"是"It is no use"的口语缩写。不定式"to sit and wonder why"解释了什么是徒劳的。
-
Ifin' you don't know by now
➔ 省略和虚拟语气 (隐含)
➔ "Ifin'"是"if"的口语缩写。这里有一个隐含的虚拟语气条件。它暗示着"如果你现在不知道，那就没关系了"，这个条件的暗示导致了结果。
-
When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
➔ 冠词省略
➔ 这句省略了"break a dawn"之前的冠词"the"，创造了一种更非正式和诗意的语调。标准英语是"at the break of dawn"。
-
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句
➔ 关系代词"that"或"why"被省略了。可以扩展为"You're the reason *that* I'm traveling on"。
-
The light I never knowed
➔ 非标准动词形式 ("knowed")
➔ "Knowed"是"know"的非标准、古老的过去分词形式。标准的过去分词是"known"。
-
We never did too much talkin' anyway
➔ 双重否定 (隐含)
➔ 虽然不是直接的双重否定，但结构"too much talking anyway"暗示了缺乏实质性的对话，暗示了一种消极情绪。
-
Like you never done before
➔ 非标准动词形式 ("done")
➔ "Done"被用来代替标准的过去分词"done"，这是方言或非正式口语的典型用法。
-
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
➔ 间接问句
➔ 这是一个嵌入在陈述句中的间接问句。典型的直接问句是"Where am I bound?"。但在这里，它是更大的陈述句"I can't tell *where I'm bound*."的一部分。
