"I'LL BE THERE" by The Jackson 5

You and I must make a pact

We must bring salvation back

Where there is love, I'll be there （I'll be there）

I'll reach out my hand to you

I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name and I'll be there （I'll be there）

 

1. 把”我”放後面，聽起來更禮貌。

My team and I will have a meeting tomorrow.

我的團隊和我明天有個會議。

2. 對象明確時，省略＂主詞＂更直接。

（You） Please give the file to client after the meeting.

（你）在會議後請將檔案交給客戶。

Every step you take

Oh can't you see

You belong to me

My poor heart aches

With every step you take
