But I won't lose no sleep on that

聽歌看電視電影是學英語不錯的方法,話雖如此,但每個人程度不同,要找到適當的教材也不容易,就好像跟比自己英文好的人聊天才會進步,但程度差太多的話又很痛苦;好不容易聽懂(看懂?)了Friends,但碰到The Big Bang Theory(宅男行不行or生活大爆炸or天才也性感)就舉雙手投降,速度快又有很多專有名詞,唉。

四個宅男跟一個金髮辣妹的組合。


有次在學一首歌,歌名:You're Beautiful,歌手:James Blunt,不懂其中一句,所以請教Sally,其實大概知道意思啦,不過趁機跟英國人聊聊也好,呵呵。



This is Sally, from England.


歌詞:
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,(Real version)
Flying high,(clean version)
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

有點不懂But I won't lose no sleep on that,lose sleep on something,大概就是因為某事而失眠煩惱的意思,可是為什麼會有兩個否定(not/no)呢?Sally說:this is just a song, so don't take it too serious. Two negatives is meaningless.

雖然如此,不過還是會聽到類似nothing impossible、There's nothing I can't do之類的句子,或許文法上有所規定,但在歌曲以及一般口語時,就沒有太多講究了吧,聽得懂就好。

鐵達尼老梗,不過做出來還是很好笑(要看時機啦)。



居然有人kuso改歌詞,真是搞笑啊。
