《Hello》是英國女歌手Adele在《25》專輯中的單曲,從專輯《19》到《25》(Adele的專輯名很有意思,都是以年齡命名的),6年的時間讓她從姑娘變成了母親,新曲不再訴說感情遭遇,而是開始感嘆人生及時光流逝。她的歌雖然沒有複雜的歌詞和旋律,但她的嗓音就是有這種穿透力,一下就能唱到你的心裡去。
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years
you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
but I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at out feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times to tell you
I'm sorry, for everything that i've done
But when i call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least i can say that I've tried to tell you
I'm sorry, for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you
It's so typical of me to talk about myself
I'm sorry, I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town
Where nothing ever happened
It's no secret
That the both of us are running out of time
Oh, anymore, anymore
I was wondering if ... 我想知道是否...
注意這個句型並非是過去進行時,它是利用過去式來表示禮貌的超級強大用法。如:
* I was wondering if you could(這裡也要用過去時態,前後時態要吻合) spot me 10 bucks ? 我想知道你能不能借我10塊錢?
* I was wondering if I asked you out tonight ? 我想知道我今晚能約你嗎?
原歌詞:I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over(重溫,回憶) everything. 我想知道,經過這麼多年,你是否還願意去遇見,去重溫曾經的過去一切。
Be supposed to do something 應該做某事,高頻用來替換should
*You are supposed to watch more American movies 你應該多看看美國電影
*How am I supposed to know that ? 你問我,我問誰啊?
*How am I supposed to live without you ? 沒有你,你讓我怎麼活啊?
高頻詞彙講解:Hear
* Hear something / somebody : 聽見
---Did you hear that ? 你剛才聽到了嗎?
---I can't hear you 我聽不到你說話
* Hear somebody out: 聽某人把話說完
---Just hear me out 先聽我把話說完
* Hear oneself: 聽自己,也經常和「胡說」有關係
---Do you hear yourself when you say this ?
你說這個的時候能聽見自己說話嗎? (別胡說了)
* Hear from somebody: 有某人消息
---Did you hear from Remy lately ? 你最近有Remy消息嗎?
sorry for something 因為什麼事而道歉
I'm sorry for letting you down 很抱歉讓你失望了
I'm sorry for breaking your heart 很抱歉讓你傷心了
It don't matter 奇怪現象講解
在音樂當中,為了讓詞與音樂相互韻律和諧,詞作者習慣故意去犯語法錯誤,從而讓音樂旋律更美,It don't matter 中的Don't就比Doesn't 聽著短,再比如:
* you are not going nowhere (anywhere )
* I don't know nobody (anybody )
Be running out of something 快沒了
* We are running out of time 我們快沒時間了
* I'm running out of water 快要沒水喝了
