Don’t you dare walk away from me.

=Please don’t walk away from me.

例如:He dares to insult me.他竟敢侮辱我。

Don’t you dare to touch me!你敢碰我!

Kathy’s Song

Vocals:Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

I hear the drizzle of the rain...

Like the memory it falls,

Soft and warm continuing,

Tapping on my roof and walls.

From the shelter of my mind,

Through the window of my eyes,

I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets

to remember where my heart lies.

My mind’s distracted and defused.

My thoughts are many miles away.

They lie with you when you’re asleep,

And kiss you when you start your day.

And the song that I was writing is left undone.

I don’t know why I spend my time writing songs

I can’t believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see,I have come to doubt,

All that I once held as true.

I stand alone without beliefs.

The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain weave

their weary paths and die,

I know that I am like the rain.

There,but for the grace of you,go I...

凯瑟之歌

我听见蒙蒙细雨声……

就好像柔和温馨的记忆,

不停地降落,

轻轻敲打着房顶和墙壁。

从思维中的某个角落,

通过像窗户一样的眼睛,

我凝视着被雨淋透的大街那边,

记住我的心系何方。

我的头脑被弄昏了,注意力已分散。

我的思想远在天边。

当你睡着时,它们与你躺在一起。

当你开始新的一天时,它们亲吻你。

我没有完成正写着的那首歌。

我不知道为什么要花费时间写歌曲。

我不相信那些为了押韵

而牵强附会的词语。

所以你明白了,我已经开始怀疑

我曾认为是真实的一切。

我孤单,没有信仰。

我知道的惟一的真实就是你。

当我望着雨点构成弯弯曲曲的线条,

然后消失得无影无踪,

我明白了我就像雨点。

唷,要不是因为你的恩惠,我也会……

【语言点解析】

1.Like the memory it falls,

Soft and warm continuing,

Taping on my roof and walls.

=The rain continues falling like the soft and warm memory.

2.I can’t believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme.

=I can’t put words together and I can’t get the words to rhyme.

The words do not come together and they tear apart.

3.There,but for the grace of you,go I...

1)but for=except for,without若非;要不是。

例如:But for your help,we should not have finished in time.要不是你帮忙,我们不会及时完工。

But for the rain,we should have had a pleasant journey.要不是下雨,我们那次旅行就愉快了。

2)go I:There,but for the grace of you,

I would also weave my weary paths and die.

I Will Always Love You

Introduction

With the second song,“I Will Always Love You”,comes the cold reality that this relationship is likely to fade.If it was true love,then what does lost love leave behind?Is it better to have loved and lost,than to have never loved at all?

After listening to “I Will Always Love You”,you might decide that true love can not be lost or destroyed even if it is no longer expressed in a physical manner.

Due to our mortality,all human love can only blossom and grow for what must always be too short a length of time,be it seventy years or seven days...

When,if ever,should sexual intimacy occur?Are you wise to love your lover with all your passion while you can?Does love matter?Will you know love,when it is yours?Can you be happy with whatever the consequences may be?Do you expect the unexpected?Is that life?

I Will Always Love You

Vocal:Whitney Houston

If I should stay I would only be in your way.

So I’ll go,but I know.

I’ll think of you every step of the way.

And I will always love you.

Will always love you,you,My darling,you.

Bittersweet memories,

That is all I’m taking with me.

So goodbye!

Please don’t cry.

We both know I’m not what you...you need.

And I,I will always love you.

I will always love you,you.

I hope life treats you kind.

And I hope you have all you dreamed of.

And I wish to you joy and happiness.
