盘点英文歌曲中的托福备考词汇

　　英文歌词

　　Linkin Park: Iridescent

　　You were standing in the wake of devastation

　　You were waiting on the edge of the unknown

　　With the cataclysm raining down

　　Inside's crying save me now

　　You were there impossibly alone

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

　　As if the sky had blown the heavens into stones

　　You felt the gravity of tempered grace

　　Falling into empty space

　　No one there to catch you in their arms

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　Let it go

　　Let it go

　　Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

　　You build up hope but failure's all you've known

　　Remember all the sadness and frustration

　　And let it go

　　Let it go

　　学习笔记：

　　1.devastation

　　当别人都在使用damage、ruin这种简单词时，用devastation这个积极词汇来替代，更能显示自己英语的与众不同哦~

　　2.cataclysm

　　这个词可以解释为洪水，用来替代较为简单的flood很好哟~

　　3.feel lost in desperation

　　因绝望而迷茫，in desperation的近义词可以为in despair，二者含义相差无几

　　这里的介词in表示一种状态，有略微的隐含因果关系

　　4.a burst of light

　　一束强光

　　Light找不到合适的量词?这里就是很好的范例

　　5.gravity

　　可以解释为物理学中的重力、地心引力

　　但是像这种看似没什么用处的学术性的词汇，也可以用的很地道

　　在这里gravity就是重量，可以用来代替第一反应词heaviness
