Try a Little Tenderness
歌词:
[English]
Oh, she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah-yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their own happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man
Hold her where you want her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her
Never leave her
Get to her, try, try
Just try a little tenderness, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't bruise her, no no
You've got to love her, tease her, don't squeeze her
Gotta try nah, nah, nah, try
Try a little tenderness, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice

语法:
-
Oh, she may be weary
➔ 情态动词 “may” 表示可能性/不确定性
➔ 情态动词 “may” 表示她 “weary” （疲惫）是可能的或大概率的，但这不是一个明确的陈述。
-
And young girls they do get wearied
➔ 强调性 “do” + 动词
➔ 单词 “do” 用于强调动词 “get wearied”。它增加了情感分量并肯定了该陈述。
-
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
➔ 现在分词 "Wearing" 作为修饰 "girls" 的形容词
➔ “Wearing” 描述了女孩，表明她们是穿着 “shaggy dress”（邋遢的连衣裙）的人。 这个短语缩短了句子。
-
Just anticipating For things that she'll never possess, yeah, yeah
➔ 用 “will” (she'll) 的将来时来表达预测。
➔ “She'll never possess” 使用将来时表示说话者认为她在将来的任何时候都不会拥有这些东西。
-
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
➔ 使用 “not just” 来限制描述的范围。
➔ “Not just sentimental” 表明情况不仅仅是情感上的感受。 还涉及其他因素。
-
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
➔ 被动语态 ("are spoke") 以非常规的方式用于强调
➔ 短语 “are spoke” 在语法上不正确，但在这里用于艺术效果，并引起人们对单词是如何轻柔地说出的关注。 更典型的措辞是 “are spoken”。
-
Hold her where you want her
➔ 祈使语气，带有地点状语从句。
➔ “Hold her” 是一个命令。“Where you want her” 是一个告诉你 *在哪里* 抱住她的从句。
-
Don't tease her
➔ 否定祈使句。
➔ 单词 “don't” 使命令式 “tease her” 变为否定式，意味着你不应该做那个动作。
