听歌学英语:超越极限，挑战自我 No Boundaries¹


"No boundaries"是一首很励志的歌，给人向上的力量。Adam Lambert的演唱较为
激昂，以钢琴为前奏，嗓音较为高亢华丽，但是这首歌显然不是太适合他。而Kris
Allen的声音比较沙哑，以吉他的扫弦开头，虽然这首歌的key对他来说高了一点，但仍是大放异彩，一如既往的展现了歌曲的传达的力量，可以说两者各有闪光点有其闪光处。有时候，一首歌就是一种力量。生命在于攀登，一次次的超越自身极限。这首"No Boundaries"送给正在辛苦备战的学子们，祝你们取得成功！超越极限，挑战自我！

Seconds,hours,so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you've lost your way
What if my chances are already gone
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
So here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breath², is harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes³
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand
And show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
I fought to the limit to stand on the edge⁴
What if today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge
And I've run every line
I've risked being saved
But I always knew why
I always knew why


分分秒秒，日复一日
你知道自己的目标，可你还能守候多久
每一刻都漫长到没有尽头
当你感到已经迷失方向
万一我已无获胜的机会，我该怎样
我开始怀疑自己可能走错了方向
可你给了我一个充足的理由
去奋力拼搏，决不退缩
所以我仍在这里苦苦坚持
你一步一步艰难地越过又一座高山
每口呼吸都足以令你窒息
你一定能挺过所有痛苦的煎熬
经受住暴风雨的洗礼
去领取那无上的荣耀
就在你觉得前方无路可走的时候
就在你觉得梦想行将破灭的时候
他们却将你手握紧
告诉你要相信自己
你的潜力无限
你的潜力无限
如果今天是最后的机会
我拼尽全力才站在悬崖边上
真不知我的未来该通往何方
可什么也别想将我阻挡
我跨越过每一道障碍
我突破过每一道封锁
我拿自己的生命冒险
始终明白其义何在
始终明白其义何在
