霉霉歌曲千千万,英语学习永不停(更正版本)

作者:Otis

泰勒·斯威夫特,美国乐坛乃至世界乐坛的巨星,三次登上《时代》杂志封面,坐拥数座格莱美大奖,其歌曲不仅易于传唱,也具有丰富的内涵和很高的艺术价值。我们不妨从霉霉的歌曲入手,领略英语之美吧!

推送:《Look What You Made Me Do》

I don’t like your little games

Don’t like your tilted stage

tilt v.(使)倾斜,倾侧——(过去式,过去分词)tilted(在歌词中做前置定语,表示“倾斜的”)

e.g.)His hat was tilted slightly at an angle.他的帽子有点歪

The role you made me play

you made me play做the role的定语

Of the fool

of the fool解释the fool的内容

fool n.傻子

No ,I don’t like you

I don’t like your perfect crime

crime n.犯罪

How you laugh when you lie

how you laugh when you lie做like的宾语,但是在高中语法中并列的两个宾语之间应当使用and作为连接词

You said the gun was mine

mine是名词性物主代词,在这里等于my gun

Isn’t cool

这里省略了主语it,但是在高中语法中不可以随意省略主语

No ,I don’t like you

PRE CHORUS

chorus n.副歌

But I got smarter

I got harder in the nick of time

一词多义:hard adj.坚硬的,坚固的;准备战斗的,不会退缩的

新词:nick n.监狱,警察局;裂口,划痕

in the nick of time固定短语,表示“在最后一刻,紧要关头,恰是时候”

Honey ,I rose up from the dead

在高中语法中,rise表示“太阳/月亮的升起”时,一般不与up连用,而rise (up) (against sb./sth.)表示“起义、反抗、奋起”时是正确的

I do it all the time

all the time一直,总是

it可以指代上个句子的内容

I got a list of names and yours is in red ,underlined

yours=your name

in+颜色 表示“穿着······颜色的衣服”,在这里表示“你的名字是鲜红色的”

underlined在这里做状语,表示your name的状态——被画线,重点强调

I check it once

check v.检查

Then I check it twice

CHORUS

Ooh

Look what you made me do

在高中语法中,look常做不及物动词,不能直接加宾语从句,但是有一点除外:

look表示“面向,朝着,正对”

e.g.)The house looks east.这个房子朝东

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me do

Ooh

Look what you made me do

Look what you made me do

Look what you just made me do

Look what you just made me do

I don’t like your kingdom keys

They once belonged to me

belong to属于,这里to是介词,其后常跟sb.做宾语

You asked me for a place to sleep

ask sb. for sth.向某人请求索要某物

a place to sleep (in)这里是不定式做后置定语修饰前面的名词place,当动词不及物时,需要在动词后添加合适的介词,但当名词为place时,不及物动词后面的介词可以省略

Locked me out and threw a feast

lock sb. out不准进入,锁在外面

一词多义:throw(threw为其过去式)v.投,掷;举办

新词:feast n.盛宴

throw a feast表示“举办盛大的宴会”

The world moves on

on在这里做副词,有“继续”之意

move on开始做(别的事);换话题

Another day another drama ,drama

drama n.戏剧,戏剧性事件

drama queen大惊小怪、小题大做的人

drama音译过来就是俗称的“抓马”

But not for me ,

Not for me

All I think about is karma

all (that) I think about中I think about省略that,是因为all这一代词在定语从句中做宾语,但仍是定语从句

新词:karma n.善报,恶报,因果报应

And then the world moves on

But one thing’s for sure

one thing’s=one thing is在高中作文中不建议这样使用缩写

Maybe I got mine

But you’ll all get yours

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS

I don’t trust nobody

歌词译作“我不相信任何人”,属于口语,不适合在高中英语学习中使用

下面来自某位大佬的解释,不代表作者观点:在英语中,双重否定只是加强否定含义,并不会产生肯定效果。

作者的另一种解释nobody n.无足轻重的人,小人物

And nobody trusts me

这里nobody表示“没有人”

I’ll be the actress

starring in your bad dreams

star v.担任主角

e.g.)Emma starred in Sex Education.艾玛在《性教育》这部电视剧中担任主角

v.使担任主角

Sex Education stars Asa Butterfield.阿沙·巴特菲尔德在《性教育》中担任主角

I don’t trust nobody

And nobody trusts me

I’ll be the actress

starring in your bad dreams.

I don’t trust nobody

And nobody trusts me

I’ll be the actress

starring in your bad dreams.

I don’t trust nobody

And nobody trusts me

I’ll be the actress

starring in your bad dreams.

“I’m sorry ,but the old Taylor

I’m sorry but这里but不一定表示转折,可以用于解释抱歉的原因

Would you like to watch Mulan with me tonight?

—I’m sorry but I have homework to do.

你愿意今晚和我一起去看电影《花木兰》吗?

——我很抱歉(我不能),因为我有作业要做。

can’t come to the phone right now```

Why ?Oh,

'cause she’s dead. ”

'cause是because的缩写,在高中作文中不建议使用

CHORUS

作者在这里卑微地提出一个小小的建议,如果要从歌词中学英语,一定要有意识地区分英语俚语和高中英语的区别,不能够囫囵吞枣、照搬全收哦!
