　　① innocence在这里表示天真纯洁，主要是指小孩子，比如说，Children lose their innocence as they grow older. 童稚的天真随着年龄的增长而消逝。innocence还可以表示无辜、清白，比如说，She protested her innocence. 她坚称自己是无罪的。

　　② lift sb/sth up 这个词组表示将某人或某物抬起，举起，比如说, Lift me up, Dad——I can't see. 爸爸，把我举起来，我什么都看不见。

　　③ up the stairs he would carry me这句歌词是倒装形式，正常的顺序应该是he would carry me up the stairs或者he would carry me upstairs.
