Yo yo what up guys! 今天突然发现一首经典RAP里面的歌词的小秘密。Eminem这首05年发布就火爆全世界的《When I'm gone》里的歌词起始都是一般时的陈述句，直接体现了美国英语日常口语时态简单却能清楚描述一件事的特点，这对广大English Learners来说其实是意见振奋人心的事，你不需要怎么花时间“钻研”语法，其实就能在国外活下来，不用背几卡车单词书就能描述清楚一件事的来龙去脉，而且没事还能写写饶舌哈哈。

下面我们来看下这首音乐。大家知道Eminem 阿姆是世界上最火的白人说唱明星，他的成功除了要归功于刻苦努力跟过人天赋之外，还跟他小时候的生活经历密不可分。他小时候父母离异，从来不知道他爸爸是谁，妈妈虽然爱他却私生活混乱，有说法是他妈妈造成了他从来家境贫寒后来混迹底特律黑人区，被人欺负，后来经过不懈的努力让世人见识到了他充满愤怒的声音与无与伦比的才华。有部电影就是讲述阿姆那段故事，没看过的可以去看下当时的美国社会背景与hiphop文化：《8 英里》（ 阿姆在这部电影里扮演主角，那个角色其实就是他自己的化身）。。。。对不起扯远了。。。。这首歌是阿姆写给他女儿的，他女儿是阿姆世界唯一深爱的女人。（阿姆厌恶女人是圈内人都知道，不信你翻他朋友圈）

歌里面出现了一些人名：
Hailie： 阿姆的宝贝千金，长大了后居然跟阿姆一个脸- -

Slim Shady：“瘦痞子”阿姆成名后的艺名，小时他很瘦弱，经常受到欺负
Kim: 阿姆妻子的名字，（是不是前妻我也忘了）他家里一定不会稳定吧谁知道呢。。。以前他有些歌骂他老婆- -
Marshall：还是阿姆，他原名是：Marshall Bruce MathersIII

You'd give an arm for：you would give an arm for
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm'er :harm her
Dad's gotta go catch a plane: Dad has got to go (and) catch a plane
Now go out there and show that you love 'em 'fore it's too late: love them before
alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin': ringing, singing

美语口语里面还有个用法就是“双重否定表否定”
歌词里面的：So baby don't feel no pain just smile back：用笑容回应，宝贝别伤心

某些美国人会这么说：I ain't telling no lies=I am not telling lies。我没有骗你。


歌词这么长别被他吓到了，你看看根本没有不认识的词都是中学都学过的，所以千万别说自己说不好英语是因为词汇量不够，相信我，我还没到需要那种词汇量的地步。连时态也很简单，几乎都是一般时（一般现在，一般过去）。所以我跟我学员一直说你这不是单词的问题而是对话策略你一窍不通而已。你如果肯花功夫把歌词读顺了，再配上音乐，效果肯定是你自己不敢想的。我花了一下午，嗓子已经报废，大家可以听下节奏感跟发音。（渣手机，凑合听听，专业设备目前还木有- - ）

阿姆的声音太难重合，我留了原声，作为节奏的对比
