盤點(diǎn)英文歌曲中的托福備考詞匯

　　Linkin Park: Iridescent

　　You were standing in the wake of devastation

　　You were waiting on the edge of the unknown

　　With the cataclysm raining down

　　Inside's crying save me now

　　You were there impossibly alone

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

　　As if the sky had blown the heavens into stones

　　You felt the gravity of tempered grace

　　Falling into empty space

　　No one there to catch you in their arms

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　Let it go

　　Let it go

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　學(xué)習(xí)筆記：

　　1.devastation

　　當(dāng)別人都在使用damage、ruin這種簡單詞時(shí)，用devastation這個(gè)積極詞匯來替代，更能顯示自己英語的與眾不同哦~

　　2.cataclysm

　　這個(gè)詞可以解釋為洪水，用來替代較為簡單的flood很好喲~

　　3.feel lost in desperation

　　因絕望而迷茫，in desperation的近義詞可以為in despair，二者含義相差無幾

　　這里的介詞in表示一種狀態(tài)，有略微的隱含因果關(guān)系

　　4.a burst of light

　　一束強(qiáng)光

　　Light找不到合適的量詞?這里就是很好的范例

　　5.gravity

　　可以解釋為物理學(xué)中的重力、地心引力

　　但是像這種看似沒什么用處的學(xué)術(shù)性的詞匯，也可以用的很地道

　　在這里gravity就是重量，可以用來代替第一反應(yīng)詞heaviness
