唯有妳能使這世界變得美好;唯有妳能照亮黑暗。唯有妳，就只有妳一個人，能令我如此心動，并使我心里只愛妳一個。
只有妳能引起我這樣改變，因為說真的，妳是我命運的主宰。當(dāng)妳握著我的手，我能體會妳所發(fā)出的神奇力量。妳是我夢想的實現(xiàn)，我唯一的愛人。
字詞句型分析
1.darkness n. 黑暗, 不明
例:The house was in complete darkness due to a power failure.
(這房子因停電而一片漆黑。)
2.bright a. 光亮的; 聰明的
例:The garden is bright with sunshine. (花園里陽光普照。)
She is bright beyond her years. (她的聰明超過她的年齡。)
3.Only you, and you alone, can thrill me like you do,...只有妳能使我如此心動……
a.thrill vt. 使感動
例:The scene thrilled the onlookers.(這情景使旁觀者感動。)
thrilling a. 令人震顫的; 令人激動的
例:After hearing this thrilling news, she burst out crying.
(聽到這令人震顫的消息后，她哭了出來。)
b.上句中的like為介系詞, 其后應(yīng)接名詞或代名詞做其受詞, 其意為『像……』。
例:He studies very hard like Peter.(他像彼得一樣非常用功。)
若用 as 造句, 因其為連接詞, 故后面要接主詞、動詞, 形成副詞子句。
例:He studies very hard as Peter does.(他像彼得一樣非常用功。)
但現(xiàn)在口語中, 甚至在文章中, 常用 like 當(dāng)做連接詞, 取代 as 的用法, 唯正式英文, 仍用 as 較妥。
例:As/Like I said, Peter can speak five different languages.(正如我所言，彼得能說五種語言。)
故解說 3 中的句子實應(yīng)為:Only you...can thrill me as you do.
4.fill A with B 用B充滿A
例:He filled his brush with paint.(他把刷子沾滿油漆。)
5.destiny n. 命運
destine vt. 使命中注定 (常用于被動語態(tài))
be destined to V 注定……
例:He was destined never to meet her again.(他命中注定再也見不到她。)
6.magic n. 魔法
例:The fairys magic changed the two brothers into swans.
(仙人的魔法使那兩兄弟變成天鵝。)
7.Youre my dream come true...
→Youre my dream that has come true...妳是我夢想的實現(xiàn)……。
*其中形容詞子句的that has (或which has) 由于經(jīng)常使用, 故通常予以省略
