英文原版:
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
Because they’d stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think that I’d understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you loose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed!
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone that its broken
So they think that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful
Waiting for me to come home
If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you loose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed!
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand (and you don’t understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you taken her for granted
And everything that you had got destroyed
But you’re just a boy
中文翻译:
如果我是个男孩
哪怕只有一天
早上我会从床上翻下来
随便套上我想穿的衣服
和哥们儿一块喝啤酒
出去泡妞
看到谁不顺眼就扁
反正我不用负责
因为他们会挺我
如果我是个男孩
我想我能够明白
爱一个女孩是什么样的滋味
我发誓我会是一个好男人
我会倾听她
因为我了解
失去了你爱的人那有多痛苦
因为他把你视作理所当然
你的一切都被毁
如果我是个男孩
我会关上我的手机
告诉别人它坏掉了
他们以为
我是一个人睡觉
我会把自己放在第一位
做自己想做的
因为我知道她会很忠诚
等着我回家(回家)
如果我是个男孩
我想我能够明白
爱一个女孩是什么样的滋味
我发誓我会是一个好男人
我会倾听她
因为我了解
失去了你爱的人那有多痛苦
因为他把你视作理所当然
你的一切都被毁
现在一切都已经太晚
你说那只是个误会
认为我会像以前那样原谅你
如果你认为我会等你
你真的大错特错了
可你只是个男孩
你还是不懂(你不明白)
爱上一个女孩是什么滋味
你希望你是一个好男人
你不倾听她的内心
你不知道
失去你爱的人那有多痛
因为你把她视作理所当然
你的一切都被毁
可你只是一个男孩

一、语法解释:
were 是该句子中重点语法点,也是虚拟语气中所有的be动词都要用的形式。
在非正式英国英语中,was、were均可,但were较常用,而且更正式。
在正式英国英语和美国英语的虚拟语气的从句中, 动词'be'的过去时态一律用"were",不用was, 即在从句中be用were代替. 在“ If I were you"、"If I were in sb's position"、"If it were not for."中,were不可用was代替。
二、英文翻译:
If I were a boy
假如/如果我是一个男孩子的话...
三、方法:
1. 灵活改变句子开头
在通常情况下,英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”,即主语位于句子开头。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式,比如使用倒状语或以状语开头等,会使文章增强表现力。
2. 避免重复使用同一词语
为了使表达更生动,更富表现力,同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思,尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字,就会立刻想起like,事实上,英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多,如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。
3. 合理使用省略句
合理恰当地使用省略句,不仅可以使文章精练、简洁,而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。
4. 适当运用非谓语结构
非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构,适当运用非谓语结构,会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。
