Good morning, Dr.Jill!
早上好,吉尔博士!
Good morning, John.
早上好,约翰。
Were you listening to music?
你在听音乐吗?
Yes, I check the Billboard Hot 100 every week to see which songs are popular.
是的,我每周都会查看公告牌百强单曲榜,看看哪些歌曲最受欢迎。
Isn't Justin Bieber very popular?
贾斯汀·比伯是不是很受欢迎?
Yes, and the Kid Laroi.
是的,还有乐洛伊小子。
I don't like him - his grammar is terrible.
我不喜欢他,他的语法糟透了。
Really? How so?
真的吗?为什么这么说呢?
Well, he has this one song called "Stay."
他有一首歌叫《Stay》。
One of the singers sings: Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you...
其中一个歌手唱道:你知道我再也找不到像你这么好的人……
So, it starts with the imperative form of the verb "know."
这句话以祈使动词“know”开头。
In this form, the subject, "you," does not appear.
在这种形式中,主语“you”没有出现。
Right! But pay careful attention to the words "I can't find nobody."
没错!但要注意“I can't find nobody”这句话。
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you...
你知道我再也找不到像你这么好的人……
But notice the words that come before nobody also suggest a negation: "I can't find...", which is short for "I cannot find."
但注意,在nobody之前出现的短句也表示否定,“I can't find”是“I cannot find”的缩写。
This produces a kind of double negation: I cannot find nobody.
这就产生了一种双重否定:I cannot find nobody。
John, you are so old-fashioned. The double negation isn't acceptable in traditional grammar or on writing tests.
约翰,你太过时了。双重否定在传统语法或写作测试中是不被认可的。
But you occasionally hear it used in everyday speech.
但你偶尔会在日常对话中听到有人使用它。
You shouldn't judge a popular song, or a person, based on how they use a pronoun.
你不应该根据一首流行歌曲或一个人如何使用代词来判断他们。
I guess you're right.
我想你是对的。
Just enjoy the music and make note of the interesting pronoun usage.
只需欣赏音乐,注意有趣的代词用法。
I find it hard to enjoy music that doesn't have a saxophone-it really is the greatest instrument!
我发现很难欣赏没有萨克斯管的音乐,萨克斯管真的是最棒的乐器!
You love the saxophone so much. And YOU were trying to judge the Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber?
你那么喜欢萨克斯管。你还想评判乐洛伊小子和贾斯汀·比伯?
Hey! That's not nice!
嘿!这可不好!
Haha! And that's Everyday Grammar!
哈哈!以上就是今天的《每日语法》!
