最近，一本SAT考前辅导书成功刷屏外国小盆友的“朋友圈”。这是闹哪样？难道外国滴熊孩子们一夜之间全成学霸了？图样图森破啊！
流行歌词常常不讲语法，请指出下面这些歌词中出现的语法错误。（嗯，不错，现在的辅导书越发上道儿了，都知道迎合读者趣味啦~）
一本SAT考前辅导书出了上面这道题，分类列举了歌词中的各种语法错误，歌手也尽是Katy Perry、Taylor Swift、Whitney Houston酱紫的大咖。森森感觉这本书在暗示我们神马~ 好巧不巧的，这道题恰好被Taylor Swift的铁杆粉丝看到了。于是乎，一场捍卫语法水平的口水战拉开帷幕……
The Princeton Review has always had its critics, but the test-preparation company has never faced a rival quite like Taylor Swift.
That became quite apparent after an SAT test-prep book misquoted one of the 25-year-old singer's lyrics from her 2009 hit, “Fifteen”.
With that incorrect lyric being used as an example of poor grammar, the social-media fury of Taylor and her fans was unleashed.
马上学：听闻霉霉的歌词有错，粉丝们表示很生气，英文提到“the social-media fury of Taylor and her fans was unleashed”霉霉和粉丝们都怒了，unleash意指“释放”，fury意思是“暴怒”，合起来可以表达“火冒三丈”。另外，“发脾气”也可以说unleash one's temper。
有位霉霉的歌迷正好在看这本辅导材料，一眼就认出这句歌词是出自霉霉的那首“Fifteen”。但是辅导材料也没抄对啊!于是，这位童鞋就把题截屏po到了推特上，表示教材印错了霉霉的歌词，还说有语法错误，自己很不爽。没想到竟被霉霉本尊看到，霉霉很生气，后果嘛，接着往下看～
歌词在辅导书上是这样写的：
Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe'em.
霉霉唱过的歌词是这样的：
Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them.
霉霉是酱紫回复滴：
Not the right lyrics at all pssshhhh. You had one job, test people. One job.
好淡定有木有？其实……霉霉还加了一个醒目的标签：
#ACCUSE ME OF ANYTHING BUT DO NOT ATTACK MY GRAMMAR.
够傲娇的吧！
这事儿发展到这里貌似可以画上句号了。不过，有（wu）板（liao）有（tou）眼（ding）的英国人怎么可能放过这个机会？英国《每日邮报》表示，虽然人家印错了你的歌词，可是你语法还是有错滴~ 既然前面用的是somebody，后面的代词咋能是they和them呢？应该是he/she和him/her啊!
Even if the test book got the lyric wrong, the grammatical error remained when the noun "somebody" was paired with "they" and "them" instead of "he/she" and "him/her".
看来霉霉的歌词只能改成这样了：
Somebody tells you he/she loves you, you're gonna believe him/her.
还让不让人好好唱歌了……
