语法:

• I know sometimes things **may** not always make sense to you right now.

  ➔ 情态动词 'may'，表示可能性。

  ➔ 这里，'may' 表示情况 *目前* 并不明确或难以理解。这是一种委婉的承认事物令人困惑的方式。

• I'm **tryin' to** give you the life that I never had.

  ➔ 缩写形式 'tryin' to' (trying to) + 不定式。表达一种意图或努力。

  ➔ 'Tryin' to' 是 'trying to' 的口语缩写形式。'trying to + 动词' 结构表达了正在进行的努力。

• Even when you laugh I **can** see it in your eyes.

  ➔ 情态动词 'can'，表示能力或可能性。

  ➔ 这里，'can' 表达了埃米纳姆 *能够* 察觉到女儿即使在笑的时候也隐藏的悲伤。

• Daddy's with you **in** your prayers.

  ➔ 介词 'in' 表示位置或包含（比喻意义）。

  ➔ 'In your prayers' 是一种常见的习语。它表示爸爸是海莉祈祷时思绪和希望的一部分。

• We **gonna** pull together through it.

  ➔ 口语 'gonna' (going to) + 动词。表达未来意图或预测。

  ➔ 'Gonna' 是 'going to' 的随意缩写。在这里，它表达了一起克服困难的强烈意愿。

• I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it **seems** the harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me.

  ➔ 'the + 比较级, the + 比较级' 结构表达了一种比例关系。'Seems' 作为一个系动词，表达外观或印象。

  ➔ 这是一个复杂的句子。'The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me' 表明他保护孩子的努力具有讽刺意味地导致了更多负面后果。'Seems' 表明这是他对情况的看法。

• And if you ask me to, Daddy's **gonna** buy you a mockingbird.

  ➔ 条件句（隐含 'if'）。 'Gonna' (going to) 表达未来的意图。 使用撇号表示省略 (Daddy's = Daddy is 或 Daddy has)。

  ➔ 此处的 'if' 分句是隐含的: 'If you ask me to, Daddy is going to buy you a mockingbird'。“Gonna”是 “going to” 的缩短的非正式版本。“Daddy's”是 “Daddy is” 或 “Daddy has”，在本例中是 “Daddy is”。

• And if that mockingbird **don't** sing, and that ring don't shine, I'ma break that birdie's neck

  ➔ 条件句。为了强调或口语风格，在条件子句中使用“don't”（代替“doesn't”）。“I'ma”（I'm going to）表达未来的意图。

  ➔ 这句话设定了一个条件和一个结果。“Don't”在语法上是不正确的（对于第三人称单数来说，“doesn't” 是正确的），但它是为了强调而使用的。“I'ma”是 “I'm going to” 的非常非正式的缩写，表明了他计划要做什么。
