Hi, John! Are you listening to "Snow on the Beach" by Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey?
嗨，约翰！你在听泰勒·斯威夫特和拉娜·德雷演唱的《飘落沙滩的雪花》吗？
I am! After we talked last time, I wanted to listen to it more.
是的！上次我们聊完后，我想多听几遍这首歌。
It seems like my taste for music is rubbing off a little bit on you, John.
约翰，看来我的音乐品味有点影响到你了。
Is there anything else that interests you about the song in terms of grammar?
在语法方面，这首歌还有什么让你感兴趣的地方吗？
Why, yes! Swift's use of the word 'til: I saw flecks of what could've been lights But it might have just been you Passing by unbeknownst to me...It's fine to fake it 'til you make it...'til you do 'til it's true...
当然有！斯威夫特用了“'til”这个词：我眼前似乎浮现光点 但也可能是你 从旁经过 悄无声息地靠近我 强自镇定 直到你大获成功 即使这样也无伤大雅 直到你取得成功 直到你取得成功
This is an informal way of saying "until."
这是“until”的一种非正式说法。
'Til and until both mean "up to a certain point or event in time."
'Til和until的意思都是“直到某一时间点”。
They can be either a preposition or a conjunction, linking two clauses together.
它们既可以是介词，也可以是连词，将两个从句连接在一起。
In all three lines of the song, Swift uses "'til' as a conjunction, linking the first clause to the second.
在这首歌的所有三句歌词中，斯威夫特都使用了“'til”作为连词，将第一个从句和第二个从句连接起来。
And it's fine to fake it + 'til + you make it
强自镇定 直到你大获成功 即使这样也无伤大雅
First clause + conjunction "'til"+second clause.
第一个从句+连词“'til”+第二个从句。
We often use "'til" in everyday speech as a preposition to talk about points or events in time.
在日常交际中，我们经常使用“'til”作为介词来谈论时间点。
Here is an example: In the summer, it doesn't get dark 'til much later in the evening.
下面有一个例子：夏天，直到晚上很晚才天黑。
What time is it? It's 10 minutes 'til 2 PM.
现在几点了？现在是下午1点50分。
John, you're like one of these old-school encyclopedias, just full of so much information!
约翰，你就像一本老派的百科全书，拥有的信息量很多！
Well, at least you are not calling me a grammar nerd.
好吧，至少你没有叫我语法呆子。
I'll take the compliment, Faith!
我接受你的赞美，费思！
And that's Everyday Grammar TV.
