Song:Her Diamonds
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I’m doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
Oh But it don't feel right
By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She’ll be all right
She’ll be all right
Just not tonight
And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more no more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more no more
No more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
Diamonds fall oh the diamonds
Diamonds falling down
I can't take these diamonds falling down
詞彙講解
1.Oh what the hell she says
她究竟說了什麼?
hell 本來表示地獄的意思,the hell 用來加強語氣,使整個句子的表達更加生動。
例如:
What the hell is going on?
究竟出了什麼事?
2. And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
我不知道自己該怎麼辦
suppose
suppose的基本意思是“猜想;以為;假定”,但在不同的語境中用法有所不同:
1. suppose + that 從句,表示“猜測;假定”。如:
I suppose that you are right. 我想你是對的。
You can suppose that A equals B. 你可以假定A等於B。
2. suppose +名詞 / 代詞 + to be...,表示“認為……是……”。如:
Many people suppose him to be over 50. 許多人認為他已經50多歲了。
3. suppose還可以用於祈使句中,表示“讓……”。如:
Suppose we go for a swim. (= Let's go for a swim.) 讓我們去游泳吧。
be supposed to 的用法
用法一: be supposed to... 其中to是動詞不定式符號,不是介詞,其後要跟動詞原形。當be supposed
to... 的主語是“人”時,意為“應該……”;“被期望……”,它可以用來表示勸告、建議、義務、責任等,相當於情態動詞should。如:
Everyone is supposed to wear a seat-belt in the car.
車裡的每個人都應該系安全帶。
Teachers are supposed to treat all the students alike.
老師應該對所有的學生一視同仁。
用法二:當be supposed to... 的主語是“物”時,它表示“本應;本該”,用於表示“某事本應該發生而沒有發生”。如:
The new laws are supposed to prevent crime. 這些新法令本應該起到防止犯罪的作用。
The train was supposed to arrive half an hour ago. 火車本應在半小時之前到達。
用法三: be supposed to後面接“have + 過去分詞”時,表示“本應該做某事而沒做”。如:
You are supposed to have handed in your homework by now.
現在你應該已經把作業交上來了。
He is supposed to have arrived an hour ago. 他應該一小時前就到了。
用法四: be supposed to... 的否定結構為be not supposed to...,它常用於口語中,意為“不被許可;不應當”。如:
She was not supposed to be angry about that. 她本不該為那件事而生氣的。
You are not supposed to smoke on the bus. 你不應該在公共汽車上吸煙。
