对面的女孩看过来：girl的用法和辨析

"I didn't bring her up
So they could cut her down.
I didn't bring her here
So they could shut her out.
I live my whole damn life
To see that little girl's smile.
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
She wasn't brought up that way."

——Brought up that way, Tylor Swift

“我把她养大，不是为了让她受欺负，
把她送到这里，更不是为了孤立她。
我努力地生活就是为了看见她脸上的微笑，
怎么那张甜甜的小脸上就会挂满泪水?
她不是那样长大的。“

——《那样长大》，泰勒·斯威夫特
