1968, The song is mainly written and sung by Robin Gibb. "I Started a Joke" is supposedly about someone who has done or said something horribly wrong, which results in feelings of social alienation. Another interpretation is that the song is sung from the point of view of the devil. Prior to performing the song onstage, Barry Gibb has remarked that one interpretation of the song is regarding the devil.

 

這首歌主要由Robin Gibb 填寫與主唱. “I started a Joke”是假想有人誰做了或說了些什麼可怕的錯誤,從而導致社會疏離的感覺; 另一種詮釋是這首歌是從魔鬼的角度來唱的. Barry Gibb 評論過這是一首關於魔鬼的歌曲.

 

sky(skyies)在英文中一直是可數的。(

因為外國人(sky的來源不是英國)。在原始時代,以為”天空”像舞台上的”幕”一樣。是會一幕、一幕變換的。所以是可數的。它的中文意思主要有三個:

一、天空。(通常是單數)。 

Ex. reaching for the sky, stars in the southern sky; The sky was blue and cloudless

 

複數狀態the stars in the skies

觀星的人都知道,不同季節天空中的星星不一樣,因此,這時候就要用skies

二、天氣。(單複數都有)。

  例句:We can expect a clear sky tomorrow.

          明天天氣會不錯。

     There are cloudy skies all over the island.全島都是多雲的天氣。

Ex. the sunny skies of Italy; Threatening skies portend a storm.

Ex. We had grey skies and rain throughout our holiday; The skies were grey all week.

 

三、天堂(通常是複數形)。

例句:Gods are in the skies.神在天堂。
