《When I’m Gone》歌曲中的托福口語(yǔ)知識(shí)點(diǎn)
When I’m Gone是一首發(fā)行于2005年，Eminem寫給自己女兒的一首優(yōu)秀作品，歌詞中處處展現(xiàn)了他對(duì)于女兒Hailie的愛和對(duì)于生活現(xiàn)狀的反思，是我最喜歡的Eminem的歌曲之一。
那么除了深沉的歌詞和優(yōu)美的旋律之外，我們能從這首歌中學(xué)到什么對(duì)于提升口語(yǔ)有幫助的知識(shí)點(diǎn)呢?我從歌曲中選出了5個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)，下面我們來(lái)對(duì)它們進(jìn)行一一解讀。
1 give an arm for 不惜代價(jià)去做某事(寧愿失去一條胳膊)
“Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?”
Eminem在連續(xù)的兩個(gè)句子里兩次非常巧妙的使用了give an arm for這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)。在give an arm for第一次出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，表達(dá)的意思為“不惜代價(jià)去做某事”，表明他愿意為了女兒去犧牲一切的想法。
當(dāng)give an arm for第二次出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，它卻產(chǎn)生了雙層含義，第一層還是愿意付出一切的意思，而若要理解另一層意思，我們就要看看Eminem的右臂紋身了。
沒錯(cuò)，Eminem把女兒Hailie的頭像紋在了右臂上，這才是徹徹底底實(shí)實(shí)在在的give an arm for。
對(duì)于這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)的應(yīng)用，我們可以說(shuō)，My dream is being an pianist and I would give an arm for achieving that goal.
2 gotta do=got to do 必須要做某事
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane. I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself.
gotta在美語(yǔ)中是一個(gè)特別常用的縮略用法，我們?cè)谧xgotta的時(shí)候要將[t]讀作[d]，這樣的變化將會(huì)加強(qiáng)整個(gè)句子的連貫度，也會(huì)讓口音聽上去更加地道。例如，I gotta cancel the plan to see the movie since my girlfriend doesn’t feel well.
3 be supposed to do something 理應(yīng)要做某事
“The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes”
be supposed to do something的意思是指一個(gè)人應(yīng)該去做某事，通常都會(huì)涉及一些客觀原因，與should的區(qū)別是should表示主觀意愿上應(yīng)該去做某事，例如，I was supposed to drive my cousins to the museum, but there was something wrong with the car.
4 no wonder 怪不得
“That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep screaming your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep.”
no wonder是一個(gè)比較口語(yǔ)化的表達(dá)方式，它表達(dá)的意思是“難怪怎樣”或“怪不得怎樣”，我們可以在生活中這樣說(shuō)， No wonder you failed in the final exam, you played video games 4 hours a day!
5 as if 好像，仿佛
“Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say……”
as if表示好像、仿佛的意思，后面可以接三種情況，一種是加to do something，例如，He stood so low as if to surrender to the rival. 另外兩種情況都是引導(dǎo)從句，一種是引導(dǎo)陳述語(yǔ)氣，表示所引導(dǎo)從句的情況是極有可能發(fā)生的，例如，It sounds like as if it is raining outside. 另外一種情況是引導(dǎo)虛擬語(yǔ)氣，表示從句的事情不太可能發(fā)生或與事實(shí)相反，例如， He loved her so much, but he talks as if he didn’t care anymore.
以上5個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)只是我從整首歌中挑選出比較適合日常口語(yǔ)的幾個(gè)用法，但這首好歌如果我們細(xì)細(xì)品味的話，能夠得到的將遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不止于以上內(nèi)容，那么下面我來(lái)附上歌詞，大家戴上耳機(jī)慢慢欣賞吧~~
《When I’m Gone》歌詞
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 2]
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..
[Chorus/Outro]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
[Curtains closing and sounds of clapping]
