听歌学英语:如果我迷失了自己 If I Lose Myself

If I lose myself来自于One republic，一首关于青春迷失的歌。在青春中,我们一直在远离真实的自己，不知哪个方向才是正确的！我们在迷离中成长，欢笑，疯癫！但我们一直保持着最纯真的心灵，去努力寻找属于自己的方向！

I stand up at the sun
Thought of all the people, places and things I've loved
I stand up just to see with of all the faces,
you are the one next to me
You can feel the light start to tremble¹
watching what you know out to sea...
You can see your life out of the window, tonight...
If I lose myself tonight,It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight...
woooh, woooh, woooh!
If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I...
Lose myself tonight
whooooooo...
I woke up at the sun
Thought of all the people, places and things I've loved
I woke up just to see with of all the faces
you are the one next to me
You can feel the light start to tremble
watching what you know out to sea...
You can see your life out of the window, tonight...
If I lose myself tonight,It'll be by your side
If I lose myself tonight...
woooh, woooh, woooh!
If I lose myself tonight
It'll be you and I...

Stand up基本意思是“起立”。

Stand up还有其他意思，我们在例句中体会。

她先是同意跟我出去,后来又爽约了。
这句话中stand up表示“失约”。
None of these explanations can stand up under close examination².
这些解释没有一个能经得住严格的考查。
这个句子中的stand up表示“经得住，站得住脚”。
You can feel the light start to tremble.

tremble v.发抖；忧虑；震颤 n.战栗；颤抖
记法：谐音“船舶”- 船在水中发抖

如果说声音颤抖，我们可以用单词quaver (v.用颤声说(唱)；震动；颤抖 n.颤音；颤抖 )

You could hear the quaver in her voice.

Take down是多义词组，基本意思是“拿下来”，还可以表示“记下，写下”，也可以表示“拆掉； 拆台；把...搞垮”。
