The Harder They Come
歌词:
[English]
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
...
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
...
Hey, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
...

-
Waiting for me when I die
➔ 现在分词作形容词 / 简化关系从句
➔ “Waiting”修饰“pie”。它是“that is waiting”的缩写形式。
-
Between the day you're born and when you die
➔ 时间状语从句 (使用 "when")
➔ “When you die”引入一个时间状语从句，修饰主句的时间框架，表示在特定期间发生的事情。
-
They never seem to hear even your cry
➔ "Seem" + 不定式
➔ “Seem”后跟不定式“to hear”。这种结构表达了一种外观或印象。“even”的使用强调了缺乏关注。
-
So as sure as the sun will shine
➔ 第一类条件句（隐含）
➔ 这句话暗示了一个条件：“如果太阳照耀（它将会照耀，因为这是肯定的），那么……”。这是一种表达对结果的确定性的方式。
-
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
➔ "Gonna" (Going to) - 非正式的将来时 / 物主代词
➔ “Gonna”是“going to”的非正式缩写，用于表达未来的意图。“What's mine”是物主代词，指的是“属于我的东西”。
-
And then the harder they come, The harder they fall, one and all
➔ The…the 结构（平行增加/减少）
➔ 这种结构表达的是，当一件事增加时（一个人来的有多猛烈），另一件事也会增加（他们跌倒的有多惨）。它显示了一种比例关系。
-
I'd rather be a free man in my grave
➔ “Would rather” + 不带“to”的不定式
➔ “Would rather”表达偏好。它的后面是不带“to”的动词原形（be）。
