听歌学英语:说‘你好’ Say Hello

今天的这首歌曲在某种程度上提醒我们很多浪漫的事情都是从一个眼神一句‘你好’开始的。Loneliness is just a crime,让寂寞荒草丛生是一种罪。如果某天在路上你遇见了心仪的某某，记得要鼓起勇气上前开口打个招呼，《Say Hello》，开启一段属于你自己的美丽邂逅吧！

If I find him,if I just follow
如果邂逅他,倘若我一直跟着他
Would he hold me and never let me go
他会不会抓紧我，挽留我

I don't know, I don't Know
我好想知道

If I see her standing¹ there alone
如果我看见她孤伶伶地站在那里
At the train station, three stops from her home
在离她家三站远的火车站
I have half a mind to say what I'm thinking anyway
我其实有点想告诉她我内心的想法
But I don't know, I don't know
但我不知道这样做是否妥当，我不知道

There's an airplane in the sky
天空飞过一驾飞机
With a banner right behind
背后飘过一条横幅，横幅写着：
‘Loneliness is just a crime’
放任孤独是一种犯罪
Look each other in the eye

Hey there. How you doing?

歌词解析:

Hey there, how you doing?想起了老友记里面的Joey。哈哈哈，陌生男女，即使看对了眼，要开口说声Hello却是比登天还难。放任寂寞是一种罪过！希望大家都远离罪恶。哈哈哈，好了，来一起看看歌词：

1. I don't know, I don't Know我不知道。
来看一下它的基本用法：
I don't know him well enough to ask him for help.我和他不够熟悉，不好请他帮忙。
I don't know how much longer I can take this.我不知道我还能承受多久。
对什么东西不清楚拿不准的时候，我们可以用I don't know，但是我们也使用以下这些句子来表达‘我不知道’意思：
I have no idea我不知道=no idea
How should I know?我怎么知道？
Don’t ask me.呀，别问我呀！
Who knows?谁知道呢！
It beats me这是一种表达你不知道或不懂的非正式用语。“it”可省去。‘哈，这可把我难倒了/我也不知道’
A:Why did he do such a stupid thing?他怎么会做这种蠢事？
B:It beats me/I have no idea/No idea/How should I know?/Dunno不知道啊。
I don't know还有一种功能，缓解语气，表达一种‘不确定；犹豫’，可以完全不用翻译出来。例如，
I wanted to call him and say sorry.But I don't know. Maybe it's not the best thing to do.我想打电话跟他道歉，但是，唉，也许这并不是最好的方式。

2.If I see her standing there alone at the train station, three stops from her home.如果我看见她孤伶伶地站在那里,站在离她家三站远的火车站
see somebody do something:看见某人做某事全过程
If I see you steal again, I'll kick your ass².如果我再看到你偷东西，我扁你的！
see somebody doing something看见某人正在做某事
If I see you stealing again, I'll kick your ass.如果再被我抓住你偷东西，我会宰了你。
stop：n,车站
Let me walk you to the bus stop.我送你到公交车站吧。
公交站bus stop
火车站railway(铁路；轨道) station
出租车车站taxi stand?

3.I have half a mind to say what I'm thinking anyway我其实有点想告诉她我内心的想法
have half a mind:有点儿
I have half a mind to shut him up.我有点想让他闭嘴。
I have half a mind to undertake the work.我有几分想接受该工作。
I have half a mind to move elsewhere.我有点想搬到别处去。
I have half a mind to just take off for a couple of days.我有点儿想停止工作,休息两三天。（take off离开；从...脱身）

4. There's an airplane in the sky with a banner right behind天空飞过一驾飞机,背后飘过一条横幅，横幅写着：

一般回答是Alright（将就）或者Good（挺好的）。
