美國文化脫口秀 第399期:必須收藏的周末英語歌

最近音樂類的節(jié)目，深受大家歡迎，所以我們以后會(huì)常做音樂類節(jié)目和會(huì)員課程，給大家不斷帶來多元化的好內(nèi)容。今天，Jenny, Adam挑了幾首特別適合周末收聽的英語歌。除了好聽，歌詞很實(shí)用、歌手又唱得很清楚，特別適合用來學(xué)英語!

關(guān)鍵詞：

You get two benefits from one show: 一集節(jié)目，兩個(gè)收獲

Enjoy beautiful weekend songs and learn English at the same time: 邊享受好聽的歌曲，邊學(xué)英語

We want to make sure we choose songs suitable for learning: 我們給大家選了適合英語學(xué)習(xí)的歌

Some songs are not suitable, because the words are mumbled and can't be used in everyday situations: 不是所有歌都適合學(xué)習(xí)用途，比如有些歌詞唱得很不清楚，或者歌詞本身也不是日常使用的語言

The Lazy Song 賴床聽的歌

A perfect weekend song from Bruno Mars: 是Bruno Mars一首特別好聽的周末歌曲

The lazy song: 懶人的歌

I don't feel like doing anything on the weekend: 周末，我什么都不想做

Just wanna kick my feet up: 抬腿、踢腳

Such a relaxed position: 很放松的姿勢

"歌詞"英語怎么說?

這兩個(gè)說法都可以 Lyrics Words

區(qū)別是words這個(gè)說法比lyrics更口語

The lyrics to this song are very simple, but super practical: 這些歌的歌詞都簡單，但非常實(shí)用

For example, words like "lounging", "chilln'", they are all different ways to say "relax": 比如"lounging", "chilln'"都是不同的表達(dá)“relax"的說法

For me, a good English song for learning should have lyrics that can be used in everyday situations: 對我來說，適合學(xué)英語的歌一定要有通用、實(shí)用的歌詞

But many songs like R&B songs and rap songs are nice to listen to, but not the best for learning: 有些現(xiàn)在的R&B, rap歌就沒法用來學(xué)英語

We hope the songs we chose today are great to listen to and have great learning value: 希望今天選的歌大家都覺得好聽，又有學(xué)習(xí)價(jià)值

The Lazy Song

Today I don't feel like doin' anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

don't feel like picking up my phone

so leave a message at the tone

cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan

...

Perfect Date Song 復(fù)古浪漫情歌

What a beautiful song: 這首歌太好聽了

You sang it so well: 你也唱得很好

Lots of practice: 練了很多次

It's from your countrymen Michael Buble?: 是你的加拿大同胞Michael Buble?唱的

必須收藏的周末英語歌

Something Stupid

I know I'd stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid Like I love you

Each time I listen to this song, I don't want it to end. It's so beautiful: 我每次聽這首歌，都不想讓它停

It's a very retro song: 特別復(fù)古的情調(diào)

It was first sung by Frank Sinatra and his wife Nancy Sinatra: 最早是Frank Sinatra和他太太Nancy一起唱的

K歌英語

Duet: 對唱

Melody: 旋律

Harmony: 對唱、合聲

I like old songs because the lyrics are simple words, but put together in a way that flow and rhyme beautifully: 我特別喜歡老歌，因?yàn)楦柙~很有魅力，簡單的詞，放在一起，卻很流暢押韻

Lovely Bossa Nova 輕柔、溫暖

Warm and inviting voice: 溫暖、吸引人的嗓音

It's a perfect song for an afternoon at Starbucks: 這首歌特別適合下午在星巴克聽

I was a bit scared of listening to Lisa Ono for a while: 但我有段時(shí)間有點(diǎn)怕聽小野麗莎

People selling pirated CDs downstairs at our old office played the 2 same bossa nova songs everyday for 2 years: 我們以前辦公室樓下賣盜版碟的，同樣兩首bossa nova歌放了兩年

And the same verse: 而且放來放去都是同一段
