1. diamond/ˈdaɪəmənd/ 包含三个音节，第一二音节之间元元连读以 /j/ 连接；

2. want everything词间多种连贯方式：

wa n t e verything;

3. mean词内包含紧元音 /iː/ ，注意口腔肌肉的紧张感，词尾带出鼻音/n/；

4. ain't/eɪnt/ 包含易错难发音组 /eɪn/ ，发音时注意双元音/eɪ/发饱满后，带出词尾鼻音/n/。

言之有物

1. 词链儿：a diamond ring

一枚钻戒

2. 词链儿：... mean nothing (to XX)

...（对XX）而言毫无意义

相关词链儿拓展：

everything means nothing

拥有一切 等于一无所有

3. 词汇：ain't 不

*a short form of ‘am not’, ‘is not’, ‘are not’, ‘has not’, or ‘have not’, that many people think is incorrect←不〔一种许多人认为不正确的否定缩写形式〕

原文中ain't是have not的缩约。

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power, yeah

Some people live just to play the game

Some people think

That the physical things

Define what's within

Some people search for a fountain

Promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love them

Hand me the world

On a silver platter

And what good would it be?

With no one to share

With no one who truly cares for me?
