情態副詞

The spring semester has certainly changed dramatically for the class of 2020.

2020 年畢業生的春季學期絕對被戲劇化地改變了。

COVID-19 is canceling or postponing major milestones that all of us enjoyed when we were in high school.

因為新冠肺炎，許多當我們還在高中時享受無比的儀式都被取消或延後了。

Tonight our Jennie Runevitch talks with a Crawfordsville student who has now written a moving song for her fellow seniors.

今晚我們的記者 Jennie Runevitch 與一位寫了一首感人的歌曲獻給她畢業生的夥伴們，來自 Crawfordsville 高中的同學進行了訪談。

聽好了，這首歌是寫給你們的，2020 年畢業生們。

Music has the power to heal when we're hurting, and unite what's been divided.

音樂有股魔力，在我們受傷時療癒我們，當我們被迫分離時將我們團結在一起。

♪Remember on our first day, walking through the hallways♪

♪還記得入學第一天，我們漫步於走廊上♪

When we can write a song about it and put it to music, that just…  that solves everything.

當我們可以寫一首關於這個情況的歌，並將一切情感託付給這首歌… 這解決了所有事情。

♪And now we're in the last year, yeah, we should be there, surrounded by our friends♪

♪現在是最後一年，我們應該要在那裡，被朋友環繞著♪

It's why Crawfordsville senior Abby Bannon and her friend penned lyrics about the losses of senior year.

這就是為什麼 Crawfordsville 高中畢業生 Abby Bannon 還有她的朋友執筆寫下了關於他們高中最後一年的歌詞。

♪But we'll have to leave it all behind♪

♪但我們必須將這些都逐出腦海♪

As a way to cope with the curveball, none of her classmates expected.

寫這首歌是她作為面對這與她同學都沒有意料到的突發狀況的解決方法。

Bannon and student athlete and class president is one of so many seniors whose last year of high school's been cut short by the coronavirus.

Bannon、學生運動員、還有班長都是眾多畢業生之一，而他們的最後一年都因為疫情而被縮短。

Quarantines, e-learning days, an empty Athenian parking lot...

居家隔離、線上課程還有空曠的 Athenian 停車場。

The milestones of that make memories for all teenagers won't happen for them.

所有畢業生們都經歷過的生命里程碑都不會發生在他們身上。

Like senior proms, senior skip days, senior prank, graduation, most likely.

好比說畢業舞會、畢業前的蹺課天、畢業惡作劇、畢業典禮，幾乎所有事情。

I mean, it has affected every aspect of this senior year that you have always dreamed of and hoped for and thought about, like basically my entire life.

疫情在各種角度上影響了這個你一直夢想著、期待著和惦念著的畢業季，我幾乎期待了一輩子。

She realized missing high school moments is not the worst that could happen, especially during a health crisis.

她後來認為錯過了一些高中的回憶並不是最壞的事情，尤其是在這樣關於健康的緊急狀態下。

Obviously this stinks and we are missing out on lot, but there are so many better days ahead.

很明顯地這很糟，我們也錯過了很多事情，但未來還有很多美好的日子。

And so many other things for us to look forward to.

秋天即將入學的大學，大學畢業後的就業。

But for now, it's an emotional loss seniors and their families are facing.

但就現在，情感上的失去是畢業生還有他們的家人們正在面對的。

And Abby's song, shared thousands of times in just two days, has resonated with all of them.

而 Abby 的歌，在兩天內就被轉發了好幾千次，與所有的畢業生們產生了共鳴。

Abby plans to study business and music in college in Nashville this fall.

Abby 計畫秋天將在 Nashville 的大學修讀商科還有音樂。
