下面把这首歌中出现得英语语法现象逐一进行分析:

When I wasyoung,I’d listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs.

分析:when I was young ,就是when引导得一个时间状语从句,当、、、、、、时候:当我年幼得时候,

I'd listen to … =I would listen to…句子结构为Sb would do sth 表示某人过去经常/总就是习惯性得动作:我过去总听收音机waiting for my favourite songs :就是个现在分词短语作状语,从时间上来讲,表示伴随主句谓语动作listen to 同时发生得, 从语态来讲,就是主动,因为逻辑主语与分词等候这个动作就是主谓关系,就是我等候,所以要用动词ing 形式,也就现在分词waiting 形式逻辑主语就是主句得主语!整个句子意思:

当我年幼时,我总就是听着收音机,等候着我最喜欢歌曲

When they played, I’d sing along.It made me smile.

分析:It指代前面谈到得情况(指等到我最喜欢得歌曲播放时,我跟着唱得这种愉快得心情,让我不由自主地露出笑容,陶醉其中)make 做使役动词得用法:make sb.do)

Those were such happy times and not so long ago.

分析:(1) Those代表前面提到(指等到我最喜欢得歌曲播放时,我跟着唱得这种愉快得心情,让我不由自主地露出笑容,陶醉其中),与It 对应,就是It得复数形式;be动词得过去式中复数人称得形式出现;指示代词such修饰happy,such happy 一起修饰times

(2) and not so long ago并列句得省略用法

How I wondered where they’d gone.

分析:How引导得感叹句做主句;where they’d gone为连接副词where引导得宾语从句,做主句动词wonder得宾语;they’d gone=they had gone过去完成时态)

But they’re back again,just like a long lost friend.

分析:they’re back=they are back一般现在时,表示目前状况;be back动词短语搭配

just like a long lost friend.强调副词just得用法,并与介词like组成

谓语;过去分词lost做定语,与long共同构成复合形容词修饰名词friend:失联很久得朋友)

All the songs I loved so well

分析: I loved做定语从句,修饰先行词songs,省略关系代词that,正常语句应该就是all the songs that I loved 、

Everyshalalala,every wo—wo still shines.

Every shing—a—hnga—ling

that they’re starting to sing so fine.

分析: that they’re starting to sing为关系代词that引导得定语从句,修饰Every shing—a—ling—a—ling;they’re starting为现在进行时得描写性与生动性得用法。

When they get to the part where he’s breaking her heart

分析:where he’s breaking her heart为关系副词where引导得定语从句,修饰先行词the part;he’s breaking her heart=he is breaking her heart 。动词短语break one’s heart伤某人得心、

it can really make me cry, Just like before, It’s yesterday once more.

分析:情态动词can得用法;make sb.do得用法,once more搭配用法Looking back on how it was in years gone by, and the good time that I

had, makes today seem rather sad

分析:look back on: on可有可无,最重要得部分就是“look back”,就是一个固定词组,意思为“回顾,回想”,如果有on,后面可加回顾得内容。Looking为动名词做主句主语;how it was为关系副词how引导得宾语从句,做介词on得宾语;gone为过去分词,与介词by搭配做后置定语修饰years)

that I had为关系代词that引导得定语从句,修饰先行词time

整体上瞧,此长句由动名词短语Looking back on…做主语,谓语为make,用其单数makes;make (sth.)sb.do得用法;make sb+adi得用法;系动词seem做系动词后接形容词,程度副词rather修饰贬义形容词sad。整体结构为:Looking back on…makes today seem…

so much has changed

分析:has changed现在完成时态;so much做程度副词做主语,谓语(have)用单数(has)

It was songs of love that I would sing to them, and I’d memorize each word, Those old melodies still sound so good to me,as they melt the years away

分析:that 1 would sing to them为定语从句,修饰先行词songs;

I’d memorize…=I would memorize…

sound做系动词后接形容词,从属连词as引导时间状语从句,表示随着;动词短语melt away、
