I Heard It Through The Grapevine
歌词:
[English]
I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears i can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
People say believe half of what you see
Some and none of what you hear
But I can't help to be confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, i heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
Honey, honey i know
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
That you letting me go
I say i heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

语法:
-
I bet you're wondering how I knew
➔ 'wondering' 之后的间接疑问句
➔ "how I knew" 这个短语是一个间接疑问句。说话者没有问 "How did I know?"（我是怎么知道的？），而是使用 'wondering' 作为介绍性从句。间接疑问句的词序遵循主语-动词顺序，而不是像直接疑问句那样的动词-主语顺序。
-
About your plans to make me blue
➔ 目的不定式 ('to make me blue')
➔ 不定式 "to make me blue" 解释了 "plans" (计划) 的目的。它回答了问题 "What are your plans for?" (你的计划是为了什么？)。答案是：为了让我伤心 (blue)。
-
With some other guy you knew before
➔ 关系从句 (you knew before)
➔ "You knew before" 是一个关系从句，修饰 "some other guy"。关系代词 (that/whom) 已被省略。
-
Between the two of us guys
➔ 介词 'between' 用于两个实体之间
➔ 介词 "between" 用于指示涉及两个实体的关系或比较。在这种情况下，它突出了说话者和另一个男人。
-
It took me by surprise I must say
➔ 插入语 ('I must say')
➔ "I must say" 是一个插入语，为该语句添加强调或个人意见。可以删除它而不影响句子的核心含义。
-
Not much longer would you be mine
➔ 倒装 (would you be mine) 为了强调
➔ 通常，这句话是 "You would not be mine much longer" (你不会再属于我了)。 "would" 和 "you" 的倒装强调了即将到来的损失，并增加了戏剧性的效果。
-
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
➔ 非正式缩写 ('ain't') 和 'supposed to'
➔ "Ain't" 是 "am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", 和 "have not" 的非标准缩写。 "Supposed to" 表达义务或期望。
-
But these tears i can't hold inside
➔ 省略关系代词 'that' 或 'which'
➔ 完整的句子是 'But these tears that I can't hold inside'。连接名词 'tears' 和从句 'I can't hold inside' 的关系代词 'that' 被省略。
