Dance with My Father

英文歌詞:

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high

And dance with my mother and me then

Spin me around till I fell asleep

Then up the stairs he would carry me

?

And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance

Another walk

Another dance with him

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

How I love, love, love

To dance with my father again

?

When I and my mother would disagree

To get my way I would run from her to him

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep

He left a dollar under my sheet

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance

One final step

One final dance with him

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

Cause I love, love, love

To dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

And I'd hear how my mother cried for him

I pray for her even more than me

I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying so much too much

But could you send back the only man she loved

I know u don't do it usually

But dear lord she's dying

To dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream

學(xué)習(xí)筆記：

life removed all the innocence

用很形象化的手法，描繪小時候的天真懵懂；在寫作中運用這種形象化的手法，能給考官感覺到文章符合英文嚴謹?shù)牧?xí)慣。

所以一般烤鴨們在寫類似意思的句子的時候，能寫出when I was innocent 就已經(jīng)很不錯了，以后烤鴨們可以借鑒一下這種寫法。

2.I play a song that would never, ever end

用ever進行再次強調(diào)，never和ever兩個詞在尾音押韻，很朗朗上口。

在雅思口語中強調(diào)“永遠不”時，可以嘗試著開始使用，能給考官感覺很地道的。

t

既可以做動詞也可以做名詞，一般在使用時，會較常用到其形容詞形式comfortable。

這里需要說明一下make sb. comfortable 的意思是使某人舒適，但comfort sb. 的意思是安慰某人，二者的意思不太相同。

I could steal one final glance

steal 用的很有特色，有一種做賊的意味，由于父親已經(jīng)離去了，所以歌者的這種愿望是不可能實現(xiàn)的。在西方宗教上這種愿望是有違上帝的旨意，所以歌詞在描述時，使用了略帶罪惡感的steal。

dying to do

渴望做某事，可以用來替換desire to do的老套說法。

或者在口語中也可使用，略帶夸張幽默的說法。
