Spend My Life with You

Guidance for Reciting

I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.

If I could save time in a bottle,

the first thing that I'd like to do,

is to save every day until eternity passes away,

just to spend them with you.

If I could make days last forever,

if words could make wishes come true,

I'd save every day like a treasure and then,

again I would spend them with you.

Notes

1.eternity [i(:)5tE:nEti] n. 永远,来世,不朽

2.treasure [5treVE] n. 宝物,财富

3.pass away 去世,停止,离去,消逝

今生有你

诵读导言

我爱你,不是因为你这个人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。

如果我能把时间存入一个瓶子,

我要作的第一件事就是,

把每一天都存下来直到永恒,

再和你一起慢慢度过。

如果我能把时间化作永恒,

如果我的愿望能一一成真,

我会把每天都像宝贝一样存起来,

再和你一起慢慢度过。

口语点津

在英语口语中遇到虚拟语气时,native speakers实际上并非严格执行虚拟语气的各种表示形式,而是用would,could,might,should等取而代之。所以,你也可以运用这种方便有效的办法,剥去虚拟语气繁琐的外衣,还原它的本来面目,将地道英语进行到底。
