最近再做一系列的英文小教室，每天都會po文，還沒追蹤粉絲團的趕快追蹤唷
人生第一次進電影院二刷的電影就是大娛樂家 The Greatest Showman
超級喜歡他的歌！回家一直瘋狂聽~~~~
這首由 Zac Efron & Zendaya 唱的 Rewrite the Stars 有些人翻成改寫星辰
但我覺得改寫命運更適合 star 本身就有恆星的意思，也有延伸成命運的意思
例如： She was born under an unlucky star. 她生來就命不好
而電影裡面的時空背景是 擁有地位的富家子弟愛上當初被歧視不平等對待的有色人種
若想要相愛勢必要改寫命運才有可能 
以下是歌詞的部分
女生是紅色的字
男生是藍色的字
You know I want you
妳知道我渴望妳
這邊 know 後面省略了 名詞子句的 that
It's not a secret I try to hide
我不想隱瞞這秘密
這邊 secret 後面省略了形容詞子句的 that
I know you want me
我知道妳也渴望我
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
所以別再說我們對此無能為力
sb's hands are tied 受到限制, 受到束縛
例句： I'd like to raise people's salaries but my hands are tied.
You claim it's not in the cards
妳說我倆沒有未來
be in the card 可能發生
例句： It's in the cards that I'm going to marry this year.
But fate is pulling you miles away
命運將妳拉離開我
And out of reach from me
使妳遙不可及
out of reach 碰觸不到 相反為 within reach
But you're here in my heart
但妳已住進我的心裡
So who can stop me if I decide
所以有誰能阻止我? 如果我決定…
That you're my destiny?
妳是我的真命天女
What if we rewrite the stars?
如果妳我能改寫命運?
Say you were made to be mine
說我們是天生一對
mine 所有格代名詞 = my destiny
Nothing could keep us apart
沒有難關能將妳我分開
You'd be the one I was meant to find
我注定追尋著妳
be meant to + VR 注定要
It's up to you, and it's up to me
這一切取決於妳跟我
No one can say what we get to be
沒有人能指指點點
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
所以我們為何不改寫命運?
Maybe the world could be ours
也許今夜我們能擁有這
Tonight
只屬於彼此的世界
You think it's easy
你覺得這很簡單
You think I don't want to run to you
你認為我不願奔向你
But there are mountains
但前方困難重重

隔著我們跨不過的門檻

How can you say you'll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart
每件事都將我們隔開
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
而我不會是你該追尋的那位真命天女
It's not up to you
你無法決定
be up to sb 誰決定
It's not up to me
我也不能
When everyone tells us what we can be
當大家都指使我們要怎麼做時
How can we rewrite the stars?
我們要怎麼改變命運?
Say that the world can be ours
怎麼說今晚就是
Tonight
我們所擁有世界
All I want is to fly with you
與你一同飛翔是我唯一想做的事
All I want to do is to VR 我想做的就是
All I want is to fall with you
與你一同謝幕是我唯一想做的事
這邊 fly & fall 是因為 Zendaya 在裡面飾演 trapeze artists 空中飛人
fall 也有延伸成 表演落幕的意思 當然也是 空中飛人 上升下降的意思
另外也有延升 降級 (因為 Zac 原本是上流階層的卻愛上當時屬下層的 Zendaya)
So just give me all of you
只要你給我全部的你
It feels impossible
這感覺多荒唐
It's not impossible
這不是不可能
