If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand by me


语音讲解:

今日发音练习重点:

1. tumble/crumble中-umble部分发音相同

2. mountain的发音有两种:鼻腔爆破,或/tən/、/tɪn/

言之有物:

1. 词链儿:look upon the sky 仰望天空


2. 词链儿:tumble and fall 跌倒

tumble verb. 跌倒


★原声例句:Just like a kid, we should learn how to take our first steps, tumble and fall on our butts, and then get back up again, and take another step.

像小孩一样,我们应该学会迈出第一步,摔倒再爬起来,继续走。

3. if...should 虚拟语气

*在表示与将来事实相反的条件从句中,谓语动词可用should do, were to do或动词的过去式三种形式表示,但意义略有不同。should表示的可能性最大,动词过去式的可能性次之,were to do 的可能性最小。

主句:主语+would/should/might/could+动词原形

从句:should+动词原形/were to+动词原形

If it should snow tomorrow, I would make a snowman.

如果明天下雪,明天我将堆一个雪人。

If it snowed tomorrow, I would make a snowman.

如果明天下雪,明天我将堆一个雪人。

★原声例句:The mental wall started to crumble. I chose the word "crumbling", because breaking a mental wall is a long journey.

5. 词链儿:shed a tear 流泪

6. stand by me

→袖手旁观 stand by and let him get away

→支持我 stand by her friends


活学活用:

请用 shed a tear 随意造句

《Stand By Me》(与我同行):这首歌其实是根据灵歌"Lord StandBy Me"加以改编而重新创作的,获得了全美排行的第四名。1986年,由于电影"伴我同行"采用了他的这首旧作当作同名的主题歌,使得他再度的受到了注意 ,还因而夺下了英国排行的冠军。而根据BMI的统计,还是全美二十世纪最受欢迎百大歌曲的第四名。
