If You Don’t Know Me By Now
歌词:
[English]
If you don't know me by now
You will never, never, never know me, ooh-ooh-ooh
All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now, baby, I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin' to upset our happy home
Oh, don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight
(If you don't know me by now) if you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me) you will never, never, never know me
(If you don't know me by now) if you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me) no, you won't
We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman, you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together that should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when we can't see eye to eye, oh
(If you don't know me by now) if you don't, if you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me) hey, hey
(If you don't know me by now) if you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me) no, you won't
(If you don't know me by now)
(You will never, never, never know me)
(If you don't know me by now)

-
You should understand me like I understand you
➔ 使用 'like' 的比较

-
I ain't gonna do nothin' to upset our happy home
➔ 双重否定（非标准），未来意图 ('gonna')
➔ "Ain't" 是 "am not/is not/are not/has not/have not" 的非标准缩写。 "Gonna" 是 "going to" 的缩写，用于表达未来意图。 双重否定 "ain't gonna do nothin'" 在标准英语中语法上不正确，但在某些方言和非正式口语中很常见。 标准英语应该是 "I am not going to do anything"。

'Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight
➔ 从属连词 ('cause')，明喻 ('like children')
➔ "'Cause" 是 "because" 的非正式缩写，是一个从属连词，将从属子句连接到独立子句。 "Like children" 是一个明喻，将他们争论的方式与孩子的行为进行比较。 明喻是一种使用 'like' 或 'as' 直接比较两件事物的修辞手法。
-
We've all got our own funny moods
➔ 现在完成时 ('We've got')，物主形容词 ('our')
➔ "We've got" 是 "We have got" 的缩写形式，是现在完成时态的结构，表示一直到现在都存在的普遍真理或状态。 "Our" 是物主形容词，修饰名词 "moods"，表示这些情绪属于 "we"。
-
Just trust in me like I trust in you
➔ 祈使语气 ('Trust'), 使用 'like' 的比较
