歌词：If you put yourself in my sorry situation, tell me would you dare?
如果你把你自己置于我这样不堪的境地，告诉我，你敢吗？
1. Situation: n.形势；局面；处境；状况。“在…的处境中”我们搭配介词in。比如：
He was in a dangerous situation.
他处境危险。
He laughed off an embarrassing³ situation.
他以笑来解除这种尴尬的处境。
（laugh off一笑置之）
2. Sorry表示“对不起的；抱歉的”；也可以表示“难过的；遗憾的”。短语组合a sorry sight意思是“难看的样子，悲惨的景象”。比如：
He was a sorry sight in his dirty old clothes.
他穿着破旧的脏衣服，显出一副可怜的样子。
3. Dare表示“勇于；胆敢”。教大家三个口语表达：
① How dare字面意思是“怎么敢”，用于表示愤慨。比如古代皇帝呵斥一声“放肆”，就可以说How dare you！我们来听例句：
How dare you?Take your hand off me right away.
放肆!马上把你的手挪开。
How dare you use my car without asking?
你没问过我怎么敢用我的车？
②I dare say字面意思是“我敢说”，用于表达很确信，可以打包票。比如：
I dare say it is the best explanation.
我想这可能是最好的解释了。
There is something wrong with the TV set,I dare say.
恐怕电视机有毛病了吧。
③Don’t you dare字面意思是“你不敢”，用于表达不准，不允许。比如：
Don't you dare touch me!
看你胆敢碰我一下！

歌词：If I opened up and gave you some affection, tell me would you dare?
如果我对你敞开心扉，告诉我你敢不敢面对？
1. Open up: 打开； 开发；开放。比如：
They decided⁴ to open up an office in town.
他们决定在市区设立一个办事处。
歌词中的open up表示“吐露心扉”。
2. Affection 表示“喜爱,深挚的感情”，它是不可数名词，后面可接介词for或towards。比如：
Every mother has affection for her children.
每个母亲都爱她的孩子。
His affection for the girl was real.
他对那个女孩的爱是真心的。
Affection和love都可以表示男女间的爱恋之情，但是affection语气比love轻。
3. Affect是动词，不过意思和affection完全不一样，指“影响”，还可以指“感动”。来听例句：
Her opinion will not affect my decision.
她的意见不会影响我的决定。
She was deeply⁵ affected⁶ by the sad story.
她深深被那个悲伤的故事感动了。

歌词：My love in resumption lost the affection. My candle has burned down.
我重生的爱已经失去了热情，心中的烛火已经熄灭。
1. Resumption是名词，表示“恢复”。比如：
We are hoping for an early resumption of peace talks.
我们期盼着早日恢复和谈。
2.Burn down: 烧毁。比如：
A number of houses were burnt down in the fire.
在火灾中，好些房子给烧毁了。
