注意:为了押韵而调整的歌词

有些歌词为了配合押韵或节奏,听起来会有一点不寻常。在日常英语中不要照搬它们:

  • Listen to what the music begs: 音乐并不会真的“乞求(beg)”。用这个词只是为了和 legs 押韵。日常只需说 listen to the music。
  • Stay safe and avoid the stress: 我们通常说 avoid stress,不加 the。
  • To feel healthy is the best!: 语法正确但偏正式。在日常口语中,请说 Feeling healthy is the best!
  • I have a pain: 人们通常会说明具体哪里疼(I have a pain in my back),或者直接说 I'm in pain。
  • I step back right into the line: 这是一句比喻性的歌词,意思是“我重新回到正常生活中”。这并不是一个常见的日常表达。
