When I was just a little girl my momma ①used to②tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess ③in distress
And how a guy would save her and ④end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me
听歌学英语:
①used to do something 表示(某事)过去常发生,但是现在不再做某事,这个短语没有现在时态。与 used to 很像的一个表达方法是 get/be used to (doing)something 表示习惯做某事,其中used是形容词,to是介词,后接名词或动名词形式。
②tuck into 有两个意思。一个是表示藏进,一个表示把食物塞进肚子里,是一个口语用法。在这里表示的是第一种意思,妈妈经常把我塞进被窝里读故事给我听。
③in distress 表示在痛苦中,在困境中
④end up with 以告终。
