英文说唱音乐的押韵其实主要分两种：一种是最普通的押韵，就是每句（也称bar，似乎英文诗歌里面也是同样的称呼）的最后一个词，或者最后的一个音节与上一句的对应词或音节押韵。此种押韵手法基本应用于所有英文歌曲。比如：I can see it inside your (face)/ You in the wrong (place) —— Mobb Deep "Shook Ones Pt II"我记得部分英文诗是两个韵脚会隔开，相当于四句话中包含两个韵，但是对应的两个韵脚会隔开。本人对英文诗不是很熟悉。这个另谈。另外一种押韵手法基本上只在说唱音乐当中应用过。叫做多重押韵「multiple rhyming」。也就是说对应的韵脚押韵的词数量达到两个或两个以上。这个在Eminem的歌中用得特别之多。目前我个人所知道的使用该手法最娴熟的说唱歌手是东海岸已故歌手Big Pun。
比如：I greet the gents and ladies, I spoil (loyal)( fans)/I (foil) (plans) and leave fluids leaking like (oil) (pans) —— Eminem "Infinite"
由上例可以看出韵脚均为两个词：「loyal」对「foil」、「oil」。「fans」对「plans」、「pans」。当然如果你愿意的话，还可以押更多。我自己曾写过这样的歌词：I dont know where my (lifelong) (dream) (is)/Workin my ass off, surely (I) (dont) (mean) (this). 实际上就是「lifelong」对「I dont」、「dream」对「mean」、「is」对「this」。一般来说在自由式说唱比赛「freestyle battle rap」中，能够运用几次multi是很能为自己加分的。另外还有一种押韵方式，既不属于普通的单字押韵，也不属于严格意义上的多重押韵。那就是在尽可能短的句子中，尽可能多地使用一个韵脚。这种押韵手法更多时候属于歌手的一种显示自己押韵水平的文字游戏。比如最著名的一句这样的歌词：「Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middleman who didnt do diddly —— Big Pun Twinz 」 基本上属于绕口令了。此外，还有一种分类可称之为"完美韵脚"和「不完美韵脚」。比如time、crime、dime这些即可视作完美韵脚。而tie、bribe、kite则被视作不完美韵脚，因为这些词只有母音相同，而结尾的辅音音节不同，但是仍被视同为韵脚。关于多重押韵的解释可以参考维基百科：Multisyllabic rhymes另外附上Big Pun的歌词页面，有兴趣的话可以打开其中任何一首歌的歌词研究一下：http://www.azlyrics.com/b/bigpun.html
我选Speedom(Wwc2)里面的几段来当作例子
And this is it man, the hitman, the Ip Man, karate em
And the fans will lift hands, well be dancin out of emAnd in Kansas advanced to withstand a pile of emWho stands with two hands to move in the crowd of emIn the habit of grabbin a mic and babblin, I dabble in lightsBut I might just swallow my fuckin Ritalin tablet after the nightIm grabbin itright from the medicine cabinetCause thats what its like and attack it like a Dracula biteJetpack in my backpack when I write
Im the fury, the final fight
I flip it on fraudulent fellas for feelin fright
I flick it on fire, finish him when the flow in flightFeminine fakers fall, Im floggin a foe with a fife这三段词都很出彩，可以听听这首歌来感受一下押韵方面这三者很不一样：第一段里有两块押韵，一块是一个句子里的三词母音的押韵，另一块是句末的em音；第二段是habit里面abi还有light里面的ai这两个音混合叠加使用，以及后面两句片语母音的押韵；第三段是f辅音的押韵，这段在9爷的flow下演绎得尤其精彩由此来看，押韵形式绝对不固定，要押韵你得先想好怎么押，押的是辅音还是母音，押的是片语还是单词，句尾要不要押，押怎么个音节，用怎么个词，这都得预先想好，才能下笔写词。中文rap也有很厉害的押韵，红花会贝贝，再举点例子
university? Location, general ranking of the school, employment rate ofgraduates, etc?
Everyone has a time to pick up a
university,
I choose location as the first among other
qualities
Location is the thing that really matters
to me.
I would choose a pretty place with flowers
and trees.
Then I can study in good mood and high
quality
As a study shows, campus with beautiful
view
Students tend to study with higher energy
I believe that survey is true and really
applies to me
Transportation is another thing relates to
this quality
You can anywhere you want whenever you are
free
It』s cool to go many places join many
activities
I study at a school which is near
Providence
There is a beautiful lake in the center of
the city
Many fabulous activities taking place
really attracts to me
Spectacular Flash-fire really shocks me
There are also other cool events there as
long as you conceive
Those reasons are why I take location as
the key
Some believe that teachers should focus on lecturing and asking students to take notes during lectures. Others believe that teachers should get students involved in discussion and encourage them to exchange ideas in class. Which one do you think is the most effective for students learning?
The latter one definitely works the best
Cause education is not all about the tests
If the teachers only lecture in the class
Then the students will end having no 「class」
Students will not learn to think and apply
But frigid and complain the study is so dry
Education should be fun and considered as a 「game」.
Can』t be a torture and curse, so students suffocate
If I was a teacher I would bring up the students
Behind the curtain, I am only a director to watch amazing discussions happen
By doing so students know how to learn their thoughts flow
As deep as they go, they can harvest knowledge and wisdom dough
If they face difficulties and then teachers could play their roles
Provide them insights and directions and make them miracles.
