When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
我年轻的时候
常听收音机
总是期待我喜爱的歌
伴奏声起我会跟随歌唱
笑声在歌声中激荡
→ wait for sth./sb.是动词短语,意思是“等待某事/某人”。
例如:
- They are waiting for the good news.
- 他们正等着好消息呢。
→It made me smile.
① make做使役动词。make sb.do sth “使得某人做某事”,这里要注意动词用原形。
例如:
- His funny joke made everyone laugh.
- 他讲的有趣的笑话让每个人都笑了。
② 若make为被动语态,则不定式必须带to。
例如:
- Though he often makes his little sister cry, today he was made to cry by his little sister.
- 虽然他经常把他小妹妹弄哭,但今天他被他小妹妹弄哭了。
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I love so well
那真是幸福的时光
就在不久以前
我还疑惑那些歌曲去了哪里
但我所深爱的歌曲再次回归
就像一位久违的朋友
我那么喜爱的歌
→ How I wondered where they’d gone.
How引导的感叹句做主句。
例如:
- How I wondered where they are.
- 我多想知道它们在哪儿。
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
当唱到了那一段
他伤透了她的心
这真使我潸然泪下
还和当年一样
这可真是往日重现
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
回首过去感叹几多岁月匆匆而过
细数我曾经美好的时光
使得今天略显悲凉
事过境迁人非昨天
→ go by这里的意思是“消失,流逝”。
- How time goes by!
- 时光如梭!
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorise each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
我向他们唱
爱的歌曲
我会记住每一句歌词
那些旧旋律
仍然这般地动我心魄
歌中融入了逝去的年华
→ memorize动词,“记住”。下面歌词中的memory是名词,“记忆,记忆力”。
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
所有我最美的记忆
歌声都清晰地带回
有些歌甚至能让我落泪
还和当年一样
这可真是往日重现
