第718期:英语歌名学问多-藏在歌名里的俚语

 

藏在英语歌名中的俚语

以前我做过一期节目《好的音乐才是打开学习英语大门的钥匙》，其中谈到，因为自己喜欢英文歌，想唱好英文歌，才变得爱学习英语。其实英语歌不仅仅是旋律以及节奏，音乐打动人，在潜移默化中，英语歌会让我们对英语这门语言越来越熟悉。比如在我们今天的节目中，你会发现，很多英语的歌名原来正是我们日常口语中非常常用俗语表达。不信你来看看。

1.poker¹ face 扑克脸

Song: Poker Face by Lady Gaga

歌词：

Can't read my

猜不透

Can't read my

猜不透

No he can't read my poker face

我总是一副毫无表情的面孔 他根本无法读懂我

She's got to love nobody

没有人像她那样如此地吸引我

Can't read my

猜不透

Can't read my

猜不透

No he can't read my poker face

我总是一副毫无表情的面孔 他根本无法读懂我

She's got to love nobody

没有人像她那样如此地吸引我

If you say that someone has a poker face, it means it's difficult to read their emotions through their face.

如果你说某人有一张“扑克脸”，这意味着很难从他们的脸上看出他们的情绪。

Example:

I asked Vivian what she thought of my new haircut, but she just said it looked nice. She usually has a poker face and I can never tell what she's really thinking.

我问薇薇安，她对我的新发型有什么看法，但她只是说它看起来“不错”。但她通常有张扑克脸，我永远也分不清她到底是怎么想的。

2. you win some, you lose some 有得必有失

Song: Win Some, Lose Some by Robbie Williams

歌词：

Now it's gone' now it's gone'

现在都走了，一切都走了

You win some' you lose some

你总会有得必有失

Now it's gone' now it's gone'

现在都走了，一切都走了

You win some' you lose some

你总会有得必有失

If you say you win some, you lose some, it's a way to encourage someone and point out that you won't always be successful, so you should move forward after you fail.

如果你说“有得必有失”，这是一种鼓励别人的方式，并指出人不会总是成功的，所以你应该在失败后继续前进。

Example:

I was excited because I found $10 in the street, but later that day I got a parking ticket for $20. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

因为在街上发现了10美元我很兴奋，但那天晚些时候我得到了一张20美元的停车罚单。哦，好吧，有得必有失。
