Suzanne
歌词:
[English]
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On Our Lady of the Harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

语法:
-
You can hear the boats go by
➔ 感官动词 (hear, see, feel, watch) 后的原形不定式
➔ 在这里，'go' 是感官动词 'hear' 之后的不带 'to' 的不定式。 这种结构强调了直接听到船只经过的体验。它相当于 'You can hear the boats *going* by'，其中 'going' 是现在分词，表示一个持续的动作。
-
And you know that she's half crazy
➔ 缩写 "she's" 的使用
➔ "She's" 是 "she is" 的缩写。缩写在口语和非正式写作中很常见。
-
And just when you mean to tell her
➔ 成语用法 'mean to'
➔ 'Mean to' 后面跟着一个动词表示意图。它的意思是 'intend to'。 在这种情况下，'you mean to tell her' 的意思是 'you intend to tell her'。
-
That you've always been her lover
➔ 现在完成进行时 (you have always been)
➔ 现在完成进行时 ('you've always been') 强调某事从过去开始并一直持续到现在。 它表示一种长期的状态或重复的动作。 'You *have* always *been* her lover' 表明从过去到现在的一种连续状态。
-
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
➔ 现在完成时 'you've touched'
➔ 现在完成时 'you've touched' 的使用表明过去完成的一个动作与现在相关。它强调触摸的*结果* - 深刻的联系 - 而不是动作本身。
-
Only drowning men could see him
➔ 情态动词 'could' 表示过去的能力。
➔ 'Could' 用于表达过去看到他的能力。 这意味着只有那些溺水的人才能看到他。
-
Until the sea shall free them
➔ 使用 'shall' 表示将来时（不如 'will' 常见）
➔ 'Shall' 是一个辅助动词，用于表达将来时，尤其是在正式场合或与 'I' 和 'we' 一起使用。虽然不如 'will' 常见，但在这里添加了一种决心或预言的感觉。
