Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again.
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man.
語音講解:
今日發(fā)音練習重點:
言之有物:
1. 伴隨狀語:
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can,
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.
wondering 是現(xiàn)在分詞,在這里表示伴隨主句的動作同時發(fā)生,即“一邊對…… 感到厭倦,一邊在思考……”。
*虛擬語氣:
當從句表示與現(xiàn)在事實相反的假設時,be 動詞一般要用 were,而不用 was。
if I was a man 在標準書面英語被認為是語法錯誤。
正確表達為:If I were a man...
