　　最近，一本SAT考前辅导书火了，倒不是因为外国高中生突然热爱学习了，起因是这样的，该书批Taylor Swift的歌词被批有语法错误，而被粉丝发现截图发到推特网，被Taylor本人也关注回复了，下面一起来看看吧。

　　流行歌词常常不讲语法，请指出下面这些歌词中出现的语法错误。(嗯，不错，现在的辅导书越发上道儿了，都知道迎合读者趣味啦~)

　　一本SAT考前辅导书出了上面这道题，分类列举了歌词中的各种语法错误，歌手也尽是Katy Perry、Taylor Swift、Whitney Houston酱紫的大咖。巧的是，这道题恰好被Taylor Swift的铁杆粉丝看到了。于是乎，一场捍卫语法水平的口水战拉开帷幕……

　　The Princeton Review has always had its critics, but the test-preparation company has never faced a rival quite like Taylor Swift.

　　That became quite apparent after an SAT test-prep book misquoted one of the 25-year-old singer's lyrics from her 2009 hit, “Fifteen”.

　　With that incorrect lyric being used as an example of poor grammar, the social-media fury of Taylor and her fans was unleashed.

　　听闻Taylor的歌词有错，粉丝们表示很生气，英文提到“the social-media fury of Taylor and her fans was unleashed”Taylor和粉丝们都怒了，unleash意指“释放”，fury意思是“暴怒”，合起来可以表达“火冒三丈”。另外，“发脾气”也可以说unleash one's temper。

　　有位Taylor的歌迷正好在看这本辅导材料，一眼就认出这句歌词是出自Taylor的那首“Fifteen”。但是辅导材料也没抄对啊!于是，这位童鞋就把题截屏发到了推特上，表示教材印错了Taylor的歌词，还说有语法错误，自己很不爽。没想到竟被Taylor本尊看到，Taylor很生气，后果嘛，接着往下看～

　　歌词在辅导书上是这样写的：

　　Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe'em.

　　Taylor唱过的歌词是这样的：

　　Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them.

　　Taylor是这样回复滴：

　　Not the right lyrics at all pssshhhh. You had one job, test people. One job.

　　好淡定有木有?其实……Taylor还加了一个醒目的标签：#ACCUSE ME OF ANYTHING BUT DO NOT ATTACK MY GRAMMAR.够傲娇的吧!

　　这事儿发展到这里貌似可以画上句号了。不过，有板有眼的英国人怎么可能放过这个机会?英国《每日邮报》表示，虽然人家印错了你的歌词，可是你语法还是有错滴~ 既然前面用的是somebody，后面的代词咋能是they和them呢?应该是he/she和him/her啊!

　　Even if the test book got the lyric wrong, the grammatical error remained when the noun "somebody" was paired with "they" and "them" instead of "he/she" and "him/her".

　　看来Taylor的歌词只能改成这样了：

　　Somebody tells you he/she loves you, you're gonna believe him/her.

　　澳际小编认为，虽然严格意义上来说，Taylor Swift的歌词语法不符合标准，大家在考试中尽量还是不要出现这种错误啦，不过从娱乐角度来说，一本书和歌词太较真就显得小气了。更多SAT语法相关资讯请关注澳际教育SAT频道。
