听歌学英语: 爱我的人和我爱的人 The One You Love
经典老歌"The One You Love"来自于Glenn Frey。Glenn Frey曾是70年代美国最伟大的乐队Eagles(老鹰乐队)的核心成员及主唱之一。1979年乐队解散之后,Glenn Frey开始单独发展,1982年发表的首张个人专辑《No Fun Aloud》产生了多首排行榜前40位的单曲,其中就包括被张国荣翻唱为《梦里蓝天》的这首被公认为不朽的经典英文情歌的《The One You Love》。
I know you need a friend
Someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you"re going through
When it comes to love
There"s no easy answer
Only you can say what you"re gonna do
I know you need a friend
Someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you"re going through
When it comes to love
There"s no easy answer
Only you can say what you"re gonna do
I heard you on the phone you took his number
Said you weren"t alone, but you"d call him soon
Isn"t he the guy the guy who left you cryin"
Isn"t he the one who made you blue when you remember those nights in his arms
You know you"ve gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone"s gonna cry when they learn they"ve lost you
Someone"s gonna thank the stars above
What you gonna say when he comes over
There"s no easy way to see this through all the broken dreamsall the
disappointments1
Oh girl -- What you gonna do
Your heart keeps sayin" it"s just not fair
But still you"ve gotta make up your mind
I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to who will understand what you’re going through.
我知道你需要一个知心朋友,一个你能真心交谈谈,并了解你的朋友。
1. 听到这句歌词想起了一句英语谚语:A friend in need is a friend indeed. 患难见真情。
(in need 在危难中;在穷困中的 indeed 的确,实在)
2. Talk to 与...谈话 talk with 与...交谈
Talk to意思是找某人谈话,对某人说话。是一方以讲为主,另一方听为主,to表示说话的方向性。而talk with是双方
交流,交谈,可以理解为平等交流。比如说:
Don't talk to me like that!
别那样和我说话!
I'd like to talk with you. Can we have lunch together?
我想和你说说话。我们一起吃午饭好吗?
3. Talk后面加上介词over是什么意思呢?Talk over表示“讨论;详尽地商议”。比如:
They are now talking over the plan. 他们正在商讨那个计划。
4. Go through意思比较多。
a. 基本意思相当于pass through穿过。比如:
Cars are not allowed to go through the city centre.
禁止汽车从市中心穿行。
*下面我们来学习一个词组:go through fire and water,字面意思是穿过火和水,那么也就是“赴汤蹈火”。比如说:
I will go through fire and water for you. 我愿为你赴汤蹈火。
如果在说目光在文字之间穿行,也就是说“浏览 查阅”——这是go through的第二个意思。比如说:
I will go through your papers2.我将审阅你们的论文。
b. Go through还可以表示“完成”。
Let's go through all the exercises before we go out.我们出去前把练习做完。
c. 另外呢go through有个很常见的意思是“经历(困难、痛苦等);遭受;忍受”。
He has gone through such a lot since his wife died.
妻子死后他经受了不少苦难。
When it comes to love, there"s no easy answer.
当爱情来临时来临时,总没有简单的答案。
When it comes to是一个固定句型,表示“当提到,当涉及到”。比如说:
When it comes to cooking I know nothing. 说到做饭,我是一窍不通。
如果你也是这样,那么你就得努力了,因为现代好女人的标准之一就是“上得了厅堂,下得了厨房”。如果when it com
s to cooking you know nothing, 那可是不行的。
What you gonna say when he comes over.
当他到来时,你将怎么说。
1. Come over同样是一个多义词组。最常见的意思就是歌词中提到的,表示“到来,顺便来访”。比如:
You really must come over sometime3 and have dinner with us.
你确实应该找个时间过来, 跟我们一起吃顿饭。
2. 来到另一边,那么就是“改变立场”。比如:
After a long debate they all came over to our side.
经过长时间的辩论,他们全站到我们这一边来了。
3. 如果一种感觉“来到”你的心中,这也可以用come over来表示,这时候come over的意思就是 “突然感觉”。比如:
I took a sleeping pill and soon came over drowsy4.
我吃了一片安眠药,很快就昏昏欲睡了。(sleeping pill 安眠药 drowsy 昏昏欲睡的)
4. Come over还有一个意思我们要注意了,表示“欺骗”。比如:
He can't come over me with his story.
他那套鬼话骗不了我。
Your heart keeps sayin" it"s just not fair, but still you"ve gotta make up your mind.
你一直觉得两边都很难割舍,但是你仍要作出决定。
1. Fair在歌词中是形容词表示“公平的”。短语 fair and square的意思是“公正的,光明正大地”。
You must deal with the problem fair and square.
你们应当公正地处理这个问题。
2. Fair还可以表示“天气晴朗的”。
It will be set fair for one week. Let's have a picnic.
这一周天会晴的,我们去野餐吧。
3. 作为形容词fair还可以表示“美丽的”,如果用于皮肤则指“白皙的”。
The prince fell in love with a fair young maiden5.
王子爱上了一位美丽的年轻少女。
The moonlight revealed6 her fair face.
月光使她白的面孔显露出来。
*Fair除了用作形容词以外,还可以用作名词和副词,由于时间关系,我们留到以后的节目中去讲解。
