Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits has been one of the most popular songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify’s Top Hits.
艾德·希兰 (Ed Sheeran) 的《坏习惯》(Bad Habits) 一直是 Billboard Hot 100 和 Spotify 热门歌曲中最受欢迎的歌曲之一。
Every time you come around, you know I can’t say no
每次你出现时，你都知道我无法拒绝
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
每当太阳落山，我就让你掌控一切
In this week’s Everyday Grammar , we will explore how the song can teach you about how to describe regular or repeated actions and events.
在本周的日常语法中，我们将探讨这首歌如何教您如何描述常规或重复的动作和事件。
Repeated activities or events
重复的活动或事件
Every is an adjective that is used to describe a repeated activity or event. It shows how often this activity or event happens or is done.
every 是一个形容词，用于描述重复的活动或事件。它显示了此活动或事件发生或完成的频率。
For example, consider the statement:
例如，考虑以下语句：
I wake up at 6am every day.
我每天早上 6 点起床。
The repeated action is waking up. The adjective every describes the noun day .
重复的动作就是醒来。形容词 every 描述名词 day 。
Notice that the verb wake up is in the simple present – a verb form that can be used to describe regular, repeated actions. Although the verb is called the simple present, it does not exactly connect with the present time. It suggests that something often happens or is generally true.
请注意，动词“wake up”采用一般现在时形式——一种动词形式，可用于描述规则的、重复的动作。虽然这个动词被称为一般现在时，但它并不完全与现在时间联系。它表明某件事经常发生或通常是正确的。
Adjective use and verb form are two important ideas for understanding the grammar behind some of the lines of Ed Sheeran’s song, as we will see.
正如我们将看到的，形容词使用和动词形式是理解艾德·希兰歌曲中某些台词背后的语法的两个重要概念。
A habit is a usual way of behaving. It can be something that a person does often in a regular way.
习惯是一种通常的行为方式。它可以是一个人经常以常规方式做的事情。
Bad habits are ways of behaving that are not good. Let’s listen to a few words from Sheeran’s song called Bad Habits.
坏习惯是指不好的行为方式。让我们听听希兰的歌曲《坏习惯》中的一些歌词。
Every time you come around, you know I can’t say no
每次你出现时，你都知道我无法拒绝
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
每当太阳落山，我就让你掌控一切
Notice that the adjective every describes the noun time. In this case, time does not mean hours, minutes, or seconds.
请注意，形容词 every 描述了名词时间。在这种情况下，时间并不意味着小时、分钟或秒。
Instead, time means an instance of something happening.
相反，时间意味着某件事发生的实例。
Notice that the verbs are in the simple present – you come around, the sun goes down, and so on.
请注意，动词是一般现在时——你回来了，太阳落山了，等等。
The basic idea of the words is the following structure:
该词的基本思想是以下结构：
Every time something happens, something else happens.
每当某件事发生时，就会发生其他事情。
Making Your Own Statements
发表自己的声明
You can use the basic structure of Sheeran’s words to make your own statements about habits or things that are generally true.
您可以使用希兰话语的基本结构来对通常正确的习惯或事物做出自己的陈述。
For example, a person who does not like grammar might say,
例如，一个不喜欢语法的人可能会说，
Every time I open a grammar book, I fall asleep.
每次打开语法书我都会睡着。
A person who likes grammar might say,
一个喜欢语法的人可能会说，
Every time I open a grammar book, my heart fills with joy .
每次打开语法书，我的心里都充满喜悦。
When you are listening to music or reading in English, pay careful attention to how the speakers or writers describe repeated actions. Take note of how they use adjectives such as every and the simple present verb form.
当您听音乐或阅读英语时，请仔细注意说话者或作者如何描述重复的动作。记下他们如何使用形容词，例如 every 和简单现在时动词形式。
And remember the following statement:
并记住以下声明：
Every time you have a chance to practice , you should try to make the most of it.
每当你有练习的机会时，你都应该尽力充分利用它。
