①Everybody's got something
They had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time
There's ②no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
All this I know but still ③I can't find ways
To let you go
I never had a dream come true
④Till the day that I found you
听歌学英语:
①这里Everybody's got something中的has got在口语当中很常用,表示“有...东西”,相当于have。比如说:I have got something to tell you。我有点事要告诉你。在英式英语当中,get的过去分词就是got,而美式英语当中,get的过去分词是gotten,所以have got在英式英语中是没错的。后来美式英语把这种用法保留了,作为一个固定短语,就没有改成have gotten。
② No use doing something 做某事没有意义,没有用。这里的use是名词。注意use后面要用动词的现在分词形式。表达相同的意思也可用 It's useful doing something。例如,It's useful working out twice a week. 每周锻炼两次挺有用的。
③ I can't find ways to do something 我没有办法做某事, 相当于I don't know how to do something.例如:I can't find ways to make him believe me. 我没有办法让他相信我。
④ till the day, 直到这天,相当于I never had a dream come true until I found you that day. Not…until 这个句型大家应该很清楚了,直到...时候才...,例如: He didn't come back until I was ready for bed. 直到我要去睡觉了他才回来。
