《Welcome to New York》是泰勒作词作曲并演唱,收录在她发布于2014年《1989》的专辑中的主打歌。今年由于在《唐人街探案2》里面作为插曲出现了之后,又给了喜欢泰勒的朋友们一次重温老歌的机会!歌中讲述着一群第一次来大都市—纽约打拼的年轻人,怀揣着梦想和希望,想要融入城市的激烈心情。因为泰勒的歌在各大音乐App听都要收费的,所以在此给大家一个视频的链接,戳我听

【听歌学口语】
1 Searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before.寻找我们从前未听见过的声音
search for/look for/seek for寻找
2 New soundtrack, It’s been waiting for you.新的未来,早已经在等你.
Have/has been doing现在完成进行时,表示从过去开始到现在一直做某事。
所以这句歌词翻译为了“早已经”
e.g. I have been waiting for you about 3 hours.我已经等你等了大概3个小时了。
3 And you can want who you want你想跟谁在一起就跟谁在一起。
Want后面接的宾语从句,而且刚好从句中用的动词与主句中一样。
e.g You can do what you do.你要做什么就做什么。
You can get what you get.你要得到什么就是什么。
