你們的music library里面是不是有很多l(xiāng)ove songs?
有木有那首歌你能倒背如流但是覺得唱給那個(gè)特殊的ta好像多少有些別扭?
今兒我跟大家分享一首很經(jīng)典的love song,老規(guī)矩,先分析歌詞,講解里面的語言點(diǎn),然后跟你們展示一下怎么改寫歌詞,去customize? your own love song~
歌詞摘自百度,歌詞下面的翻譯是我自己翻的。如果你們有自己覺得更好的翻譯版本,歡迎跟我分享哦!

I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
我想讓星辰從天空落下
我想讓這一天永不結(jié)束
我想只為你改變這個(gè)世界
我想做一切不可能的事情
wanna=want to 非正式用語,后面直接加動(dòng)詞原形,不要再加to了
同樣的用法:
gonna=going to
ain’t=am not/are not/is not
也就是說,ain’t不分人稱使用,所以在英語這么“矯情”的語言中,它當(dāng)然是非正式用語啦,千萬不要在老板以及其他你覺得有威嚴(yán)的人面前用哦??????
e.g.
I wanna take a long long vacation, but my boss, the dragon lady in the office, ain’t gonna let me.
我想休個(gè)長(zhǎng)假,但我那個(gè)嚇人的女老板肯定不同意。

I wanna play all the beautiful tunes for you.
I wanna walk with you through the city that never sleeps.
I’m gonna be a better person just for you.
Whatever you say, I will do.
a day that never dies=a day that never ends
同樣的用法,可以引申到下面的例子,注意定語從句,不要缺了主語:(有語法問題,歡迎私信我??????)
Beijing is a city that never sleeps.
北京是座不夜城。
All the impossible I wanna do.
這就是倒裝句!
通俗地講,陳述句的正常語序是“主語+謂語+賓語+其他成分”,謂語/賓語/其他成分提前或者部分提前,放在主語前面,都可以廣義地理解為“倒裝句”。所以呢,其實(shí)疑問句就可以理解成倒裝句,因?yàn)橐蓡柧涞臉?gòu)成就是把謂語或者部分謂語(助動(dòng)詞)提前??!
歌詞中all the impossible是賓語,放在了句首,主語之前,趕腳好像挺高大上的呢!
其實(shí)你自己也能對(duì)照歌詞的結(jié)構(gòu)比葫蘆畫瓢:
e.g.
Whatever you say I will do.
你說什么我都照做。(賓語提前)
Away he walked, leaving me there, crying like a baby.
他走了,把我留在原地哭成淚人。(狀語/副詞提前)

I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what's beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies, you are the truth
我想在雨中把你攬?jiān)趹牙?/p>
我想吻你的微笑,想感受你的疼痛
當(dāng)我看著你時(shí),我知道什么是美好
在這個(gè)充滿謊言的世界里,你是唯一的真實(shí)
hold you close=be close to you
把你攬?jiān)趹牙?/p>
I know what’s beautiful looking at you.
當(dāng)我看著你時(shí),我知道什么是美好。
這里注意兩個(gè)語言點(diǎn),一個(gè)是what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,what既做引導(dǎo)詞,又在賓語從句中做主語,其他wh詞也可以這么用。其實(shí)是個(gè)很常見的句型,只是有些童鞋總是以為只有that才能引導(dǎo)賓語從句。that引導(dǎo)從句時(shí)在從句中不做成分的,所以that可以省略,明白木有呢?
e.g.
I don’t know what you are talking about.
我不造你在講神馬。
I won’t say who told me the secret.
我才不會(huì)說是誰跟我泄密了。
……
looking at you=when I look at you
第二個(gè)語言點(diǎn)是分詞做伴隨狀語。這個(gè)語法點(diǎn)講起了稍微復(fù)雜一些,所以呢以后在語法專題里咱們?cè)敿?xì)嘮~
In a world of lies, you are the truth.
這句話咱們還可以改寫一下:
In a world of bitterness, you are my sweetheart.
在這個(gè)充滿苦澀的世界里,你是我的甜心寶貝。(艾瑪要齁死了…請(qǐng)不要隨地撒狗糧)
P.S.附上我自己模仿的版本(如需轉(zhuǎn)載,請(qǐng)聯(lián)系本人。保護(hù)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán),謝謝合作)
I wanna stay by your side, regardless of the rain.
I want you to kiss me on the lips so that I cease to complain.
I only see what’s wonderful with you in my life.
In a world of darkness, you are the light.

And baby, every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
我的寶貝,每次你觸碰到我
我就變成了英雄
不管你在哪兒,我都會(huì)讓你感到安全
給你一切你要的東西
沒有什么是我不能為你爭(zhēng)取的
當(dāng)你告訴我你愛我時(shí)
我就像一根蠟燭搖曳在黑夜中
no matter + wh + 從句=wh…ever +從句
這個(gè)從句叫讓步狀語從句,這是中學(xué)老師就講過的語法了,那么你會(huì)不會(huì)用呢?來對(duì)照歌詞結(jié)構(gòu)比葫蘆畫瓢吧!
e.g.
Whatever you say, I will do it.
=I will do whatever you say.
(和之前那個(gè)Whatever you say, I will do. 其實(shí)意思一樣一樣滴,就是從句的類型不一樣,說哪個(gè)都對(duì),看你習(xí)慣了)
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be here waiting for you.
=No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I will be here waiting for you.
這句話也是句歌詞,來源于right here waiting,經(jīng)典情歌呢!
above, prep.
這里是引申義,“在我之上”=“我爭(zhēng)取不到”
同理,above的反義詞beneath也有引申義
This is so beneath you!
你這樣也太下作了!
P.S.
這一小段我真的沒什么可改的了,就這么繼續(xù)唱吧!

I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything's easy now I have you here.
我想讓你看到我是什么樣子的
讓你知道孤獨(dú)和它的能耐
你走進(jìn)我的生活,止住了我的眼淚
自從有了你,一切都容易了很多
P.S.附上我自己模仿的版本(如需轉(zhuǎn)載,請(qǐng)聯(lián)系本人。保護(hù)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán),謝謝合作)
I wanna let you know that I will wait.
Show you my heart and how much it aches.
You went into my life and it was never late.
Everything’s great now, which so you’ve made.
And baby, every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
(同上)

in a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
在一個(gè)沒有你的世界里
我會(huì)一直渴望著(你的愛)
我所需要的就是你的愛,讓我變得更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)
hunger, v.≈desire, v.渴望(很文藝的用法哦)
(literary) to have a strong desire or need for sth/ sb
e.g.
I would always hunger for your love.
我一直渴望你的愛。
I have hungered for the promotion for years!
我這些年一直渴望著那個(gè)升職!
All I need is + n./for sb. to do sth./that + 從句
e.g.
All I need is a little more of your attention!
=All I need is for you to pay a little more attention to me!
=All I need is that you pay a little more attention to me!
我所需要的就是你多關(guān)注一下我!
P.S.
最后這一小段我真的沒什么可改的了,就這么繼續(xù)唱吧!
好啦,這首歌講完了,你也聽了好幾遍了吧,那么現(xiàn)在能不能比葫蘆畫瓢自己創(chuàng)作一首情歌,獻(xiàn)給親愛的ta呢?
By for now,(づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ
