Yesterday Once More赏析

我们大多数人从幼年就听过这首歌，但是那个时候对于英语的理解能力有限，所以现在再来看这首歌词，会有新的感受。

对比一下按照句子结构重新划分排版后的歌词。歌词本来就是一种文学作品，和诗歌接近，但是歌词出现的时候，往往被人为错误划分了句子，要理解歌词，首先要根据语法和意思重新还原歌词的正确形式。

When I was young， I'd listen to the radio，waiting for my favorite songs.

伴随动作，一山不容二虎，

过去时，时态一致

listen to the radio不要掉了the. 另外，play the piano等乐器前也要加the.

Listen to不要少了to, 注意与hear的区别。

When they played I'd sing along（跟着唱）, it made me smile.

make sb do sthg 让某人做某事;make me laugh

laugh和smile什么区别？

Those were such happy times and not so long ago.

happy times 快乐的时光

such如此的，单数such a happy time/such happy times

How I wondered where they'd gone!

感叹句，又如How time flies!

they'd, 这里是they had的缩写。

have gone和have been 的区别？

But they're back again just like a long lost friend.

久别的朋友，失去联系很久的朋友

All the songs I loved so well.

倒装，普通语序是

I loved all the songs so well.

Every sha-la-la-la，every wo-o-wo-o, still shines.

音符，象声词。

注意every 后面是单数动词名词，所以要注意三单。

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing is so fine.

so fine=so good.

that 从句，后面是修饰前面的音符

When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart, it can really make me cry, just like before.

从句，一个when从句包着一个where从句

当他们播放到男主角让女主角伤心的部分，真的会让我哭泣，就像以前那样。

where,when从句的特点是，后面跟着一个完整的句子，where,when不充当句子的主谓宾部分。

It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by and the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad.

很长的一个句子，主语是Lookin' back 

下划线部分都是look back的内容。

真正的动词是makes

make today seem sad也是一个make sthg do sthg的结构

句子意思：回顾飞逝那些年和我曾有的好时光，让今天显得很悲伤。

So much has changed.

注意歌词中changed的尾部发音，轻声、气声，但是必须要有。

It was songs of love that I would sing to then and I'd memorize each word.

一个强调句。it was... that...的结构，训练营最近还讲过。

意思：我那时候喜欢跟着唱的是那些情歌，我会记住每句歌词。

Those old melodies still sound so good to me as they melt the years away.

melt away 使得....融化

as这里是”随着“的意思

sound听起来

意思是：那些老旧记忆带走了过去的日子，却至今如此悦耳。

Every sha-la-la-la every wo-o-wo-o, still shines.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine.

All my best memories come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry, just like before

It's yesterday once more
