听歌学习雅思托福词汇及短语

　　Dance with My Father

　　Back when I was a child

　　Before life removed all the innocence

　　My father would lift me high

　　And dance with my mother and me then

　　Spin me around till I fell asleep

　　Then up the stairs he would carry me

　　And I knew for sure I was loved

　　If I could get another chance

　　Another walk

　　Another dance with him

　　Id play a song that would never, ever end

　　How I love, love, love

　　To dance with my father again

　　When I and my mother would disagree

　　To get my way I would run from her to him

　　Hed make me laugh just to comfort me

　　Then finally make me do just what my mama said

　　Later that night when I was asleep

　　He left a dollar under my sheet

　　Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

　　If I could steal one final glance

　　One final step

　　One final dance with him

　　Id play a song that would never, ever end

　　Cause I love, love, love

　　To dance with my father again

　　Sometimes Id listen outside her door

　　And Id hear how my mother cried for him

　　I pray for her even more than me

　　I pray for her even more than me

　　I know Im praying so much too much

　　But could you send back the only man she loved

　　I know u dont do it usually

　　But dear lord shes dying

　　To dance with my father again

　　Every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream

　　学习笔记：

　　1.before life removed all the innocence

　　用很形象化的手法，描绘小时候的天真懵懂;在写作中运用这种形象化的手法，能给考官感觉到文章符合英文严谨的习惯。

　　所以一般烤鸭们在写类似意思的句子的时候，能写出when I was innocent 就已经很不错了，以后烤鸭们可以借鉴一下这种写法。

　　2.I play a song that would never, ever end

　　用ever进行再次强调，never和ever两个词在尾音押韵，很朗朗上口。

　　在雅思口语中强调永远不时，可以尝试着开始使用，能给考官感觉很地道的。

　　3.comfort

　　既可以做动词也可以做名词，一般在使用时，会较常用到其形容词形式comfortable。

　　这里需要说明一下make sb. comfortable 的意思是使某人舒适，但comfort sb. 的意思是安慰某人，二者的意思不太相同。

　　4.if I could steal one final glance

　　steal 用的很有特色，有一种做贼的意味，由于父亲已经离去了，所以歌者的这种愿望是不可能实现的。在西方宗教上这种愿望是有违上帝的旨意，所以歌词在描述时，使用了略带罪恶感的steal。

　　5.be dying to do

　　渴望做某事，可以用来替换desire to do的老套说法。

　　或者在口语中也可使用，略带夸张幽默的说法
