Repent
歌词:
[English]
Yuh hear mi, God fi repent, yuh know
God up, God up, fi real time serious
Yuh dun know, God up, God up, God up
Check the state of the world we live in
Can't you see it's a cryin' shame? (Forgive them)
Leadership fails before it begins
Motivated by personal games (forgive them)
Tempers flare and patience wear
Ten finger pointin' but who is to blame?
Repent, repent, repent, repent
'Cause we're two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray, forgive them
Two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray
Fightin' for what they did not create
Cryin' peace while inflicting pain (forgive them)
Man deciding another man's fate
Claiming power in their god's name (forgive them)
Words of love but their actions speak hate
Seems like mankind has gone insane
Repent, repent, repent, repent
'Cause we're two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray, forgive them
Two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray
(They don't know)
If they stick to this path there'll be nothing else left to defend
(They don't know)
Instead of finding a cure, we should look for the means to prevent
(They don't know)
We can talk to the Lord, ain't no need for a special event
Repent, repent, repent, repent
'Cause we're two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray, forgive them
Two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray
Check the state of the world we live in
Can't you see it's a cryin' shame? (Forgive them)
Leadership fails before it begins
Motivated by personal games (forgive them)
Tempers flare and patience wear
Ten finger pointin' but who is to blame?
Repent, repent, repent, repent
'Cause we're two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray, forgive them
Two steps away from a real disaster
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
Need to slow down and pray
Repent, repent, repent, repent
Repent, repent, repent, repent
Repent, repent, repent, repent
Repent, repent, repent, repent
Forgive them

语法:
-
Check the state of the world we live in
➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句
➔ "the world *we live in*"是一个修饰"world"的关系从句。关系代词 "that" 或 "which" 被省略。完整的句子应该是 "the world that/which we live in"。
-

➔ 一般真理/陈述的简单现在时

Ten finger pointin' but who is to blame?
➔ 省略(省略词语)
➔ 这句话是 “There are ten fingers pointing, but who is to blame?” 的缩短版本。 为了简洁和更具对话性,省略了“There are”这个词。
-
Think they're the boss but a who are the master?
➔ 缩写和主谓倒置形成疑问句
➔ "They're" 是 "they are" 的缩写形式。第二部分是一个问题 "who are *the* master?",展示了主谓倒置来形成疑问句。 注意 "who" 前面使用 "a" 是非正式的,并增加了强调。
-
Life set a pace, every thing's much faster
➔ 简单过去时动词 “set”(不规则动词)和“is” 的缩写形式 's
➔ “Set” 是动词 “set” 的过去式形式(不规则动词)。 “Thing's” 是 “thing is” 的缩写,表明“一切都快多了”。
-
Fightin' for what they did not create
➔ 现在分词用作动词表示持续体和过去不定式否定
➔ “Fightin'” 是 “fighting” 的缩写形式,是 “fight” 的现在分词,这里用在持续体中。 “Did not create” 是 “create” 的否定过去不定式。
-
Instead of finding a cure, we should look for the means to prevent
➔ “Instead of” + 动名词;情态动词 “should” + 不带to的不定式;“means to” + 不定式
➔ “Instead of finding” 在介词短语 “instead of” 之后使用动名词。“Should look” 使用情态动词 “should”,后跟动词的基本形式。“Means to prevent” 展示了一种结构,其中 “to” 位于动词不定式之前,以阐明目的或方法。
