我想跟你分享一首他向他逝世的父親(因癌症)致敬的一首歌。歌名《我如何說再見》,非常感人喔!
I want to share with you one of the songs he wrote to his dad after his dad passed away due to cancer. The song is How do I say Goodbye. It’s very touching!
在MV的一開始,我們可以看到他寫道:
At the very beginning of the music video, we can see on the screen.
「三年前,我爸爸因被診斷出急性癌症而去世。我為他寫了這首歌。」
“Three years ago, my dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. I wrote this song for him.”

Early morning there's a message on my phone
It's my mother saying, "Darling, please come home"
I fear the worst, but how could you leave us all behind?
There's so much to say but there's so little time
🎵🎵🎵
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
🎵🎵🎵
When I couldn't, you always saw the best in me
Right or wrong, you were always on my side
But I'm scared of what life without you's like
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes
🎵🎵🎵
And I promise if you go, I will make sure she's alright
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
🎵🎵🎵
And there's no way you could ever let me down
Gonna steal some time and start again
You'll always be my closest friend
And someday we are gonna make it out
Just hold the light, just hold the light
🎵🎵🎵
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

#文法(Grammar)
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
#重點1:關係子句
who…life是一個關係子句,整句用來形容someone。
who是關係代名詞,不僅可以代替先前出現的名詞someone,也具有連接詞的功能,因此可以連接第二個動詞。
如果還原成兩句話是:
(How do I say goodbye) To someone
someone has been with me for my whole damn life
其他例子例如:
I love the girl.
The girl works at Google.
= I love the girl who works at Google.
#重點2:現在完成式
have, has+過去分詞,表示從過去到現在持續做的事情,歌詞中他爸爸已經陪伴他一整個人生了,因此用現在完成式表達此一狀態。
其他例子例如:
我已經三年沒看見他了。
I haven't seen him for three years.
