听歌学英语:此心安处 Everseeping - Xandria

"Eversleeping"是德国美声金属乐团Xandria最有名的歌曲之一，优雅的钢琴声衬托出主唱Lisa深情的歌声：即使耗尽一生去追逐也在所不惜的爱。对于那些针对在哥特金属表演中的女性的令人迷惑的标准，Lisa不试图去遵守，她的每一个声音都发自于乐音与自己感情的共鸣中。那多变而完美的吟唱，即便称不上幽雅，但她与我们分享的是她内心真实的倾诉。

Belong表示“属于”，通常与介词 to 连用。如：

The house belongs to my grandfather. 这房子是我祖父的。
Belong to可引申指“是……的成员”。如：
What party do you belong to? 你是属于哪个党派的?
Do you belong to the tennis club? 你是网球俱乐部的吗?
Belong还可以表示适合在某处或放在某处，其后可根据情况选用不同的介词（如 in, on, under等）或接副词。如：
Where does this belong? 它应放在哪儿呢?
The book belongs on that shelf. 这本书应放在那个架子上。
This chair belongs in the living room. 这把椅子应放在起居室里。

歌词：I will rest my head side by side to the one that stays in the night

Rest是个多义词，名词和动词词性都具备，可以表示“休息”，例如：
You look tired. You need a good rest.
你看来累了。你需要好好休息一下。
Rest还可以表示“剩余的部分”。例如：
Some agree with John, but the rest of us agree with Sam.
有些人赞成约翰，但其余的人都赞成萨姆。
Rest也有“支撑”的意思。比如：

Lose breath通常表示“气喘吁吁、上气不接下气”。
If you run very fast, you may lose your breath.

他说出了临终遗言后闭了上眼睛。
Last words还有最终的决定的意思。
His wife always gets in the last word on everything.
