#歌词笔记

①out of your mind形容(因忧虑、不高兴或愤怒而)精神错乱,发狂。

She was out of her mind with grief.
她因悲伤而精神错乱。

I'd go out of my mind if I had to do her job all day!
要是让我整天做她的工作,我会发疯的!

如果你觉得某人做事情很夸张,可以说:You must be out of your mind doing sth。

You must be out of your mind paying £500 for one night in a hotel!
500英镑在酒店住一晚,你一定是发疯了!

 

②Relate的意思还挺多的,可以这么记忆。

我们为了“找到联系;证明…有联系”,通常会通过“讲述;叙述某些事情”,以此获得“别人的认同;发生共鸣”。

I often wake very early - I'm sure most readers over 50 can relate.
我经常很早就醒了,我相信许多50岁以上的读者会有共鸣。
