歌曲赏析:
"Whenever, Wherever" is recognized as one of Shakira's signature songs. Obviously, it has kind of an exotic tint5 to it. Love it! Let's see what we can learn from its lyrics:《爱相随》被认为是Shakira标志性的歌曲之一，其中的异国风情也是很明显的。大爱这首歌。来看看我们能从歌词中学到点什么:
1.So we could both make fun of distance.所以我们之间有段美丽的距离（不需要把距离太当回事儿，完全可以当作好玩儿的事情来对待）。
This line means, ‘we don't need to take distance seriously. We can totally joke about it!’歌词So we could both make fun of distance的意思是‘不需要把距离太当回事儿，完全可以当作好玩儿的事情来对待’。
And the phrase‘make fun of sb/sth'means:poke fun at , tease 取笑；嘲笑
Do not make fun of anyone for any reason.不要因为任何原因去取笑别人。
2.And that's the deal my dear.亲爱的，就是这么回事儿呢。
Here,the sentence means‘that's what we have between us/that's what our relationship is like’.这里这句话的意思是‘我们之间就是这样的呢/这就是我们恋爱的写照’。
Let's look at a phrase related to the word ‘deal’：done deal，1)another way of saying "consider it done" or good to go ;over; finished; 来看一个跟单词deal相关的表达：done deal，它是‘木已成舟；既成事实；生米煮成熟饭’的另外一种表达。例如：
"I checked with the agent about our free trip to New York, she told me it's a done deal!" 免费去纽约旅行的事情，我跟他们的人员核实过了。她说是没问题的。
"Stephanie said that its now a done deal between her and Rob - after their 15th breakup!""经历了15次分手后，Stephanie 说这次她与Rob之间是真的完蛋了。
3.We can always play by ear 我们总是可以视情况而定。
Here,the vocalist is saying that things between her and her man can be flexible.There's no fixed6 plan.这句话，歌者实际是在说，她和恋人之间的一切都可以具有弹性，并没有不可以改变的计划。
The phrase ‘play by ear’means: To see how things go and act accordingly.短语play by ear指的是‘视情况而定;见机行事; 看情形而定'。例如：
Let's play it by ear, okay? 让我们见机行事好吗？
Since we're all unsure of what to expect from the new boss, we should just play by ear.因为不是很清楚新老板怎么样，我们应该见机行事。
4.Baby I would climb the Andes solely 亲爱的我将独自攀登安地山。Look at the word
solely: 1)，without aid or support独自地(没有外援)
You undertook that project solely on your own, and you will finish it likewise.你独自揽下了那个项目，你当然得独自去完成！
2)for nothing other than仅仅
I fight solely for my country, not for money!我战斗只是为了我的国家而不是为了钱！
5.And these two eyes are for no other,the day you leave will cry a river.我的双眼只为你离开时泪流成河
cry a river:cry a lot，shed a lot of tears.泪流成河
Let's look at our last but most interesting sentence: If someone you love hurts you， cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it. 如果你爱的人伤你让你泪流成河，那么建一座桥，然后离开。
Whenever, Wherever,I'll be there and you'll be near. And that's the deal my dear. 无论何时无论何地,我会在你会在我身边,亲爱的，就是这么回事儿呢。
