歌词：This year can you, just make it snow in California.I'll even settle for rain
今年你能让加州下雪吗？即使是下雨我也满足了。
Even-甚至，甚至是怎样呢？短语settle for表示“对…感到满足”或者“勉强认可”，比如说：I'll settle for an "A" in my photography course. 我摄影课只要能得"A"就满足了。
We reached the hotel late and had to settle for a room without a view. 我们到旅馆时已很晚,只好勉强要了一间看不到风景的房间。
Ok 连起来We reached the hotel late and had to settle for a room without a view. 我们到旅馆时已很晚,只好勉强要了一间看不到风景的房间。那么歌词完整的意思是 今年你能让加州下雪吗？
歌词：Wrapped in his arms by the fireplace will be the perfect gift.
在壁炉旁包裹在他的怀里将会是个完美的礼物。
Wrap：“包裹，覆盖”的意思，比如说：
You should wrap up the gift in a paper. 你应该把礼物用纸包好。
Wrap in表示“把…包在…里”。比如：
He wrapped himself in a blanket. 他把毯子裹在身上。
短语be ～ed in常有“陷入”的意思，比如：
He was wrapped in his thought.他陷入了沉思中。
Fireplace字面意思是有火的地方，实际含义指冬天用的“壁炉”，比如说：
She felt warm only when she sat before the fireplace. 她只有坐在壁炉前才感觉到暖和。

歌词：See I I really need him to stay for a couple of more days.
看，我真的很需要他留下来多陪我几天。
Need是“需要”的意思，可以在后面直接加名词，比如：
You look tired. You need a good rest. 你看起来很累，需要好好休息一下。
Need也可以加动词不定式，表示需要做某事。比如：
If I need you to come and help, I'll call you. 如果我需要你来帮忙,我会打电话的。
A couple of，量词短语，表示“几个”，比如：
I saw a couple of men get out. 我看见有几个人出去了。
I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask you.
我有几个问题想问你。

歌词:Can't you make his five o'clock flight delay.
你不能让他5点钟的航班延误吗？
Delay就是“耽搁，延误”的意思。耽搁多长时间我们加介词for，比如：
He delayed for a long time before accepting my offer.他拖延了好久才接受我的建议。
Delay还有个用法是：delay+sb/sth+时间，比如：
You have delayed me for three hours. 你已经耽搁了我3小时。
The accident delayed the train for two hours. 事故使火车耽搁了两小时。
Delay也可以作名词，delay in解释为“把某事耽搁”，其后一般接动名词，不接不定式或者of。举个例子：Excuse me for my delay in answering your question. 请原谅我耽搁了回答你的问题。
