部分歌词:I messed up tonightI lost another fightI still mess up but I'll just start againI keep falling downI keep on hitting the groundI always get up now to see what's nextBirds don't just fly they fall down and get upNobody learns without getting it wrongI won't give upNo I won't give in tilI l reach the endand then I'll start againNo I won't leave I wanna try everythingI wanna try even though I could failI won't give upNo I won't give in till I reach the endand then I'll start againNo I won't leave I wanna try everythingI wanna try even though I could failOh oh oh oh ooohTry everythingOh oh oh oh ooohTry everythingOh oh oh oh ooohTry everythingEND
I messed up tonight这句话的知识点是“mess的用法”:mess可以用作名词或者动词,都是“混乱”的意思。最常用的就是mess up(把什么弄乱了,把什么搞糟了)。messed是mess的过去式。
I lost another fight这句话的知识点是“lost的用法”:lost用作形容词时,是“丢失的、迷路的”意思;在本句歌词中,lost是动词,是lose的过去式,是“失败、失去”的意思。有时看不起一个人时,可以叫他“loser”,就是“失败者”的意思。
I keep falling down这句话的知识点是“keep doing”(继续做、持续做):继续前行:keep moving,注意这里用的动词一般是持续性动作的,比如read(读书)、move(运动)、run(跑)。
I keep on hitting the ground这句话为什么比上句多了个on呢?因为hit(撞、碰)不是持续性的动作,所以要在keep的后面加上on,来表达持续、继续做的意思。想类似的还有go on,比如go on rising(继续增长)。顺便注意一下,hit的ing形式要双写t,类似的单词还有sit、put、get等等。
I won't give up这句话的知识点是“give up怎么用”:give up 是“放弃”的意思,后面也可以加名词,或者动词的ing形式。give up hope(放弃希望),give up smoking(戒烟)。
No I won't give in tilI l reach the end这句话的知识点是“give in怎么用”:give in 是"屈服/让步"的意思,要注意与give up的区别,“向...屈服”要在后面加上to,比如:give in to his fate(向他的命运屈服)。
