Anybodyの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: (1) I love you, hold you = I love you and I hold you
- This isn't used in conversation
(2) as long as = provided that
- I don't care as long as I can hold you = provided that I can hold you, I don't care / it doesn't matter. In other words, I will start to care (= be upset) as soon as I can't hold you anymore.
(3) end/wind up + PAST PARTICIPLE ≈ become + PAST PARTICIPLE
- = to unwillingly enter a particular state. You end up frozen = you freeze up (stand completely still) because I'm looking at you.
(4) I'm not quite sure what mental image the author had in mind. I don't normally think of creeks as being "around the block."
(5) we go on
- In English, only the subject can be omitted. This means that, if you have two or more clauses with the same subject, you only have to mention that subject in the first clause (for example, "I woke up, (I) had breakfast, (I) brushed my teeth, and (I) went to work.") In your situation, the subject of the sentence is "we," so if at any time later in the sentence there is no subject, we know that the subject has to be we. It can't be the dog because the dog is the object: it's the thing that "we" will find.
(6) = I'll have to learn how to tell the difference between / distinguish real and fake.
- I've never heard the expression "learn between" before. The normal expression is "tell the difference between" or perhaps "tell what's real and what's fake."
