英语悠选脱口秀 第131期:面朝大海 春暖花开

 讲解

Today's key word is blossom¹

blossom b-l-o-s-s-o-m

花，开花

Blossom is the flowers that appear on a tree before the fruit.

Here is an example:

The cherry blossom came out early in Beijing this year.

北京今年的樱花开的早。

今天为什么要说blossom这个词呢？

因为One of our best friends just came back from East Timor last week. She lived near the sea shore in East Timor. Every

day she could enjoy the view of the blue ocean, the clear sky and the song of the waves.

Everything was just so beautiful.

在描述这番景象的同时联想到了海子的诗－《面朝大海，穿暖花开》

诗里描述的生活闲适又美好，突然想在海边晒太阳了。

我们来一起回味下这首诗吧。

面朝大海，春暖花开
