Tell Me Something Good
歌词:
[English]
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that'll sho' 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got will knock all your pride aside
...
Tell me something good
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good
Tell me that you like it, yeah
Got no time is what you're known to say
(Got no time, no, got no time)
I'll make you wish there was 48 hours to each day
Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should
But what I got to give will sho' 'nuff do you good
...
Tell me something good
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that'll sho' 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got will knock your pride aside
...
Tell me something good (oh, yeah, yeah)
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good
(Oh, baby, baby, baby, yeah)
Tell me that you like it, yeah (you got to)
Tell me something good
(Oh, oh, tell me, baby, tell me)
Tell me that you love me, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me something good
(Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me)
Tell me that you like it, yeah, yeah
(Don't you like it baby?)
Tell me something good
...

语法:
-
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
➔ 双重否定
➔ 这句话使用双重否定(“ain't” 和 “no”)来强调,尽管在标准英语中语法不正确。在口语英语或非裔美国人白话英语(AAVE)中,它加强了否定。“You don't have any feeling inside”将是标准等效表达。
-
I got something that'll sho' 'nuff set your stuff on fire
➔ 省略, 非正式缩写, 习语
➔ “That'll”是 “that will” 的缩写。“Sho' 'nuff”是一个非正式短语,意思是“sure enough”或“certainly”。“Set your stuff on fire”是一个习语,意思是激发或激励某人。
-
You refuse to put anything before your pride
➔ 目的不定式
➔ 不定式“to put”表达了拒绝的目的或原因。
-
What I got will knock all your pride aside
➔ 关系从句(省略)
➔ “What I got”作为名词从句,可以扩展为“What I have got”。关系代词 (that) 已被省略。
-
Tell me something good
➔ 祈使语气
➔ 这是一个直接的命令或请求。主语“you”是隐含的。
-
Got no time is what you're known to say
➔ 分裂句(非正式)
➔ 这句话是分裂句的一种变体。更标准的说法是“What you're known to say is that you have no time”。这种结构强调了“Got no time”这个短语。
-
I'll make you wish there was 48 hours to each day
➔ 虚拟语气(愿望)
➔ 在“wish”之后使用“was”而不是“were”表示一种假设情况。在正式英语中,首选“were”,但在非正式口语中通常使用“was”。它表达了对当前不真实的事物的渴望。
-
Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should
➔ 过去完成时被动语态(非标准)
➔ “Ain't been loved”是“haven't been loved”或“hasn't been loved”的非标准缩写。它表示过去完成时被动语态结构,表明被爱的行为在过去没有充分完成。
