歌曲赏析:
That's SO YESTERDAY by Hilary Duff.Let's break down some of the lyrics:
That’s the way it goes.事情就是这样的。
Please pay attention to the word WAY.In daily conversations, you will hear people use it like this:
1.That's just the way things are. You can't do anything about it.
2.I'm way over you.(adverb to stress)
3.You went way too far this time.(adverb to stress)
4.Do it your way!
注意一下WAY这个单词。在日常生活中,大家会经常听到单词WAY被这样使用:
1.世上的事情就是这样的,你无法改变什么。
2.你早就是过去式啦(副词,强调)。
3.你这次真是太太过分啦(副词,强调)。
4.按照你的方式做吧。
They look good on me.因为我穿起来很好看。
In other words,‘I look good in those jeans/I look great when I wear those jeans’.换句话说,就是‘我穿你的牛仔裤很好看’(注意英语的不同表达)
3.Come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday, so yesterday.明天再来看这件事会觉得我们的爱情已是成年旧事。
We always say that time heals.What causes pain now will be a joke when you look at it tomorrow. Here, th word SO is used as an adverb,stressing how meaningless the broken relationship will get as time goes by.我们总说时间能治愈一切,今天让你痛苦的东西明天看来会是个笑话。这里SO是副词,强调随着时间的推移,分手的意义会变得多么地不足轻重。
4.Laugh it off, let it go.一笑置之放手吧。 That's all for today.Happy Chinese New Year again and let's all declare to the world that: all the unhappiness in the last year is so yesterday and we'll be a better ourselves this year!!!
3.If the light is off,then it isn't on.如果灯是熄的,那灯就没着。
This is a quite interesting sentence.It means‘If something doesn't exist,it does not exist.’So, next time when you want to tell someone that what he or she is doing is useless or meaningless,you can use this sentence: If the light is off,then it isn't on (so stop wasting your time).这个句子很有趣。意思是‘如果没有这回事,那真回事就真的不存在’。下次大家想要告诉某人别把时间浪费在无意义的事情上时就可以使用这句话了。
Here,LAUGE IT OFF means to deal with a problem by laughing or pretending to be amused by it.If you laugh off a difficult or serious situation, you try to suggest that it is amusing and unimportant, for example, by making a joke about it. Let's learn some more about this phrase:
1.Most of the time he can laugh it off, but not always.
2.I try to laugh it off, but he's really cross about it.
LAUGH IT OFF指的是面对难题的时候,一笑置之。当对着艰难的处境一笑置之时,你是在尝试着用玩笑的口吻告诉别人,其实事情并没有那么严重。来多看几个例句:
1.大多数时间他能对此一笑而过,但也并不总能这么洒脱。
2.我本想一笑而过,可他却对这事真的很生气。
5.If you're over me ,I'm already over you 如果你已经忘了我,那我也是一样。
Be over sb means having nothing to do with sb or forgetting somebody and everything about that person.We can also paraphrase it with GET OVER somebody.e.g:
I'm on a mission to get over you, in other words mission impossible.
Be over sb指的是与某人变得毫无瓜葛或者完全忘记某人以及与其相关的事情。我们也可以用get over sb来代替这个词组。例如:我正在努力的一项任务就是想要征服你,换言之不可能完成的任务。
I'm Linda. Bye for now.
