本网小评:大女人主义 小女人情怀
关于“乡村摇滚”:曾有朋友戏谑说,“What if she's an angel”是“坐着”的弹唱,“Any man of mine”则只能“站着”,并以一种颇富感染力的舞台表演引起观众的共鸣。虽然这种说法欠考究,但细细想来不无道理——否则,超级女生张靓颖怎会对这只曲子偏爱有加?也正是由于她最为出色最为成功的翻唱,“Any man of mine”才得以红遍大江南北。
Lyrics
Any man of mine by Shania Twain
This is what a woman wants...
Any man of minebetterbe proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time
Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
WhenI have a bad hair day
And if I change my mind
A million times
Iwannahear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahI like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me ateasin' squeezin' pleasin'kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin' Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner andI burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I changed my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
You gottashimmyshake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
"Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup two, hum
This is what a woman wants...
Words and phrases
1. better:歌中的better相当于had better(应该,还是…好)。与had better相比,better更口语化,如:You better come back.(你最好还是回来。)
2. I have a bad hair day:这是一句俚语,不过千万别误以为是“发型很糟糕”。I have a bad hair day指的是“心情很糟糕,坏心情”。
3. wanna= want to, want a, do you want to
这是美语缩读之一,美国人在日常生活中高频率使用缩读,比如“邀请您跳支舞可以吗?”,就可以说:Wanna dance?
4. I like it that way:那样很好(这句在日常生活中经常使用,表示同意某种“方式,风格或做法”)
注意一下one's way,this way,that way的用法,如:
Have it your own way. 照你的风格去做吧。
5. teasin' squeezin' pleasin'= teasing squeezing pleasing(动词的现在分词形式)
