If the world was ending,
I'd wanna be next to you.
If the party was over,
And our time on Earth was through,
I'd wanna hold you just for a while,
And die with a smile.
语音讲解:
今日发音练习重点:
言之有物:
1. 虚拟语气:
If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you.
条件从句:If the world was ending,
*在标准的虚拟语气中,通常情况下,条件从句如果描述一个不真实的或不太可能的现实时,主语 "the world" 后面会用 "were" 而不是 "was"(即 "If the world were ending")。然而,现代英语中,尤其在口语或非正式写作中,用 "was" 代替 "were" 也是常见的。
主句:I'd wanna be next to you
I'd wanna=I would want to
*表达说话者在假设的情况下的意愿,即“我想要在你身边”。
If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.
如果我是你,我不会为此而担忧。
2. 词链儿:next to...
紧邻;在…...近旁
There was a little girl sitting next to him.
有个小女孩坐在他旁边。
3. 词链儿:be through (with sth/sb)
(使用)完成,结束;(关系)了结,断绝

I'm through with you! It is over! It is over!
