There ain't nobody like you

这里没有人和你一般美丽

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。


And if I have to await forever

Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things.

有时候要到达谷底，才会慢慢变好。

You have to do everything you can. You have to work your hardest. And if you do, if you stay positive, then you have a shot at a silver lining³.

你必须全力以赴，最大限度地去努力。如果你这么做，并且保持乐观，你就会看见乌云背后的幸福线。
