该死的英文， 总是让我有挫败感

[shw019]

请注意动词和主语在数上的一致性。

There are people dying, oh, and it's time to lend a hand, to life, the greatest all.

to life前面的逗号是多余的?

 

[shw019]

Maybe, someone's in the room.
Someone maybe is in the room.
There is, perhaps, some one in the room.
There seems to be somebody in the room.
There is a "nobody" in the room.

这些表达肿么样？

最后一句， a "nobody "想了好一阵子， 才明白。

Mercy Street 怜悯街
Peter Gabriel 彼得.加布里埃尔

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made real
俯视空旷的街道，她只能看到
都是变得坚实的这些梦
是变得真实的这些梦

All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream in somebody's head
She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam
所有的建筑物，所有这些汽车
在一个人的头脑中曾经只是一个梦想
她描绘了破碎的玻璃，她描绘了蒸汽
她描绘了一个灵魂，接缝处无泄漏

Let's take the boat out，wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out，wait until darkness comes
我们把船开出去吧，等到黑暗
我们把船开出去吧，等到黑暗降临

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs in the cold light of day
There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone
在苍白的绿灰色的走廊里无可寻觅
在郊区在寒冷的一天里无可寻觅
在此之间栩栩如生、寂寞无助
话语撑住如架骨

Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street, I Swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms
梦见怜悯街，敞开胸怀
梦见怜悯，回到爸爸怀里
梦见怜悯街，我发誓他们移动了那路牌
寻找怜悯，在你爸爸怀里

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest-he's the doctor
He can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
Of kissing Mary's lips
平滑地拉出抽屉取出稿纸
一句句一聲聲，默默地睡在暗室
在温暖的天鹅绒盒子里承认所有秘密
对着牧师 - 他是医生
他可以应对这些冲击
梦见温柔 - 臀部颤抖
在亲吻玛丽嘴唇的时候

Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
Anne, with her father, is out in the boat
Riding the water, riding the waves on the sea
怜悯，怜悯，寻求怜悯
安妮和她的父亲在船上
在水上漂泊，在海上漂泊

找时间学学。

the tremble in the hips of kissing Mary's lips
--费解。接吻的时候，臀部抖什么抖啊？

 

[哈法]

Maybe, someone's in the room.
Someone maybe is in the room.
There is, perhaps, some one in the room.
There seems to be somebody in the room.
There is a "nobody" in the room.

这些表达肿么样？

第二句：Someone maybe is in the room 如果改成Someone may be in the room 就没问题了。

“maybe”是副词adverb，只能放在句首或句尾（根据剑桥字典），如果放在句首后面只能跟着名词或代名词，这是我的理解。

比如：Maybe someone is in the room. Maybe he is in the room. Maybe she is right.

A: There’s something wrong with my PC. I can’t load my photos.

B: It could be a virus, maybe.

“The most obvious difference between maybe and may be is that maybe is an adverb, which means that it’s modifying a verb/adjective/another adverb, and it means “perhaps” or “potentially”. May be is a verb phrase that implies that something is possible.

The biggest difference is in the part of speech of the phrase. May be will always modify a noun, while maybe modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb.

The meanings of “Charlie may be an idiot” and “Maybe Charlie is an idiot” are similar, but the two phrases are used as different parts of speech, and they need to be distinguished.

美国脱口秀演员黄西喜欢用的句式：

All they want to do is just talk...
And the ones who do want to meet, like you can talk for a while, and I'm like, so would you like to meet? And they still act like it's too soon like they want to fucking talk for like one year through WeChat before actually meeting up with you and nobody has time for that shit.

the tremble in the hips of kissing Mary's lips
--费解。接吻的时候，臀部抖什么抖啊？

在天上亲吻圣母处女玛丽亚的唇，
恐高症必发作，臀部肯定是颤抖抖的。

 

[shw019]

在天上亲吻圣母处女玛丽亚的唇，
恐高症必发作，臀部肯定是颤抖抖的。

应该是浑身都抖， 但自己只意识到臀部抖动。

应该是浑身都抖， 但自己只意识到臀部抖动。

蛋疼就是浑身都疼的意思。

Hips 和 lips押韵：
the tremble in the hips of kissing Mary's lips

歌中还有如下韵脚，但是不如hips和lips这对那么优美：

She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam

There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Masters and Virginia Johnson are known as pioneers of the science of human sexuality. Their research shoots them to fame on a trajectory that takes them from humble beginnings in the Midwest to the cover of Time magazine. Masters is a brilliant scientist who is out of touch with his own feelings. Johnson is a divorced mother who is ahead of her time on many fronts, including her determination to have a meaningful career. The pair's relationship isn't just professional, as Masters divorces his wife, Libby, to marry Johnson as they pursue their experiments. `Masters of Sex' is based on Thomas Maier's book of the same name that profiled the couple.

今天学到的词是trajectory.
但Masters is a brilliant scientist who is out of touch with his own feelings.
这个句子不太懂。
