听歌学英语：Power-Little Mix / Stormzy

英国小混混团Little Mix联手Stormzy新单Power，一开场就知道这首歌曲真的名副其实，相当有power，中间那段rap霸气侧漏。小混混今年的单曲都不错，不管是自己的单曲还是feat的，都相当有水准。

Iain'tthe chick to walk behind you aroundtown

我不是那种陪你在镇上溜达的女孩

ain't，它原本是美国南部一帮文盲、粗人（但非原住民）说的话，现在趋于普遍，并且已经收入到了各类词典当中。最开始它是am not的缩写，最初写作amn't，后由于发音连读问题（省去前一个辅音m，只发后一个辅音n），以讹传讹地变成了ain't，显然，这是由一个be动词am和一个否定词not组成的，所以原则上只适用于任何am not的缩写情况。

在英国，ain't一般只用工人阶级，比如那些说伦敦方言，通常被认为是不正当的。中产阶级和上流社会，与19世纪的英国，乐意使用在熟悉的演讲和中上层阶级的教育。

很少被发现在正式写作中，它经常被使用在更多的非正式书面文字，例如流行歌曲的歌词
