Do you know what "unbeknownst" means, John?
你知道“unbeknownst”是什么意思吗，约翰？
I do! The word "unbeknownst" is an adjective meaning "not known or existing without knowledge of someone."
我知道！“unbeknownst”是一个形容词，意思是“不为某人所知”。
"Unbeknownst" sounds very old because of the suffix "st."
“unbeknownst”听起来很老，因为它的后缀是“st”。
But it is the newer form of the old adjective "unbeknown."

"Unbeknownst to me" is an adjective phrase.
“Unbeknownst to me（在我不知道的情况下）”是一个形容词短语。
Adjective phrases have an adjective that describes a noun that is close in the phrase.
形容词短语中有一个形容词，用来描述短语中与之相邻的名词。
In the song, the adjective phrase is describing the direct object, "you."
在这首歌中，形容词短语描述的是直接宾语“you”。
Like John said, "unbeknownst" means without someone's knowledge.
就像约翰说的，“unbeknownst”的意思在某人不知情的情况下。
In the song, Swift says that the spots of light that she saw could have been the person that she is referring to, passing by without her knowledge.
在这首歌中，斯威夫特唱道，她看到的光点可能就是她所指的那个人，从旁经过，悄无声息地靠近她。
Which is the newer form of the word: "unbeknown" or "unbeknownst?"
这个词的较新形式是哪一个：“unbeknown”还是“unbeknownst”？
The newer form is "unbeknownst," though it sounds older.
