Love Story
歌词:
[English]
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony, in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh-oh
...
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you, and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
...

语法:
-
Little did I know that you were Romeo...
➔ 含有否定副词的倒装句: "Little did I know"
➔ 这个句子使用倒装来强调。 没有写成“I knew little...”,而是写成“Little did I know...”。 助动词“did”出现在主语“I”之前。 它增加了一种惊讶或具有戏剧性的讽刺意味。 简单过去时“were”在“that”之后。
-
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
➔ 祈使语气,关系从句中使用情态动词
➔ “Take” 是祈使语气,发出直接命令。 “Somewhere we "can" be alone” 包含一个描述位置的关系从句。“Can” 是表达可能性的情态动词。
-
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
➔ 将来进行时和存在句 “there is/are” 结构
➔ “I'll be waiting”是将来进行时,表示在未来特定时间将要进行的动作。“All there's left to do”是“All that is left to do”的缩写形式,使用存在句“there is/are”来指示剩下的内容。
-
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
➔ 第二类条件句(假设),连词缩写
➔ 这句话是第二类条件句,因为它描述了一种假设情况。 “If they knew”(一般过去时)表明一种不太可能发生的条件。 结果分句“we're dead”表达了结果。 “'Cause” 是 “because” 的缩写形式。
-
I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around
➔ 过去简单时,动名词,“if”引导的嵌入式问题
➔ “I got tired” 使用了过去简单时。“Waiting”是动名词,充当介词“of”的宾语。 “Wondering if you were ever coming around” 包含一个嵌入式问题。“If”在更大的句子中引入了问题。
-
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
➔ 现在进行时(习惯性动作)与现在简单时(一般真理)的对比
➔ “I keep waiting” 使用“keep + -ing” 来强调一个重复或习惯性的动作,在这种情况下,是一个令人恼火的动作。“You never come” 是一般现在时,陈述关于对方行为的一个普遍真理。
