I have eyes to see and a mouth to smile. 其中的 to + verb 部分说明各个身体部位的用途。
为押韵而写的歌词
- Is it blue or is it red? 是一句俏皮的歌词,与 head 押韵。人的头其实并不是蓝色或红色的。
- Look at how the music goes! 与 nose 押韵,但这不是谈论音乐时的常见说法。人们通常会说 Listen to the music!
- Listen to the song you hear! 是为了配合 ears 而写的。它把同一个意思说了两遍。在日常英语中,只需说 Listen to the song!
