聽歌學英語：Better man
Little Big Town是一個1998年成立的鄉村音樂組合。聽到這首《Better Man》，似乎很容易感受到黴黴的風格，沒錯，這首歌是由黴黴作詞作曲的，該曲收錄於Little Big Town的第七張專輯《The Breaker》中，該專輯於2017年2月24日發行。並在第50屆CMA（全美鄉村音樂協會獎）頒獎禮上首次表演。這首歌講述的是一位失戀的女孩，在愛恨糾葛中選擇逃離的，對前男友依依不捨的心情。戳我聽
歌詞如下：
I know I'm probably better off on my own
我明白或許我該獨自一人
Than loving a man who didn't know what he had when he had it
好過愛一個不懂得珍惜的男人
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
我明白你給我的永久的傷害
Never again I just wish I could forget when it was magic
再也不會 我只希望我能忘卻愛魔力
I wish it wasn't 4 am, standing in the mirror
我只希望凌晨四點我沒有站在鏡子前
saying to myself you know you had to do it
自言自語 你知道你該這樣選擇
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
我知道我做過最勇敢的事就是抽身逃離
Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again
有時候午夜夢迴 我能再次感受你的氣息
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
而我想念你 我只希望你會是個更好的男人
And I know why we had to say goodbye

like the back of my hand

Hoping it might turn sweet again

You're talking down to melike I'll always be around

【聽歌學口語】
1. I just wish you were a better man我希望你會是個更好的男人
“wish”後面加的表示虛擬語氣的從句，所以Be動詞用的是“are”的過去式“were”。
虛擬語氣就是指跟現實不一樣的，這句歌詞說“我只是希望你成爲更好的男人”，說明現實是“你還不是更好的男人。”
e.g. I wish I were a superman. 我希望我是超人。
2. I know the bravest thing I ever did was run我知道我做過最勇敢的事就是抽身逃離
“the bravest thing I ever did was run.”“I ever did” 是來修飾“the bravest thing”的從句，定語從句。
e.g. The best man I ever saw is you.你是我見過的最好的人.
