聽歌學英語,是一種寓教于樂的高效方式。通過沉浸在英文歌曲的旋律中,不僅能夠享受音樂帶來的愉悅,還能在不經(jīng)意間吸收豐富的詞匯、地道的表達與流暢的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。而英語歌詞則如同一扇窗,讓我們領(lǐng)略英語語言的魅力,提升聽力理解能力,同時激發(fā)學習興趣,讓英語學習之路更加生動有趣。今日分享的英文歌曲歌詞:《Hotel California》。
《Hotel California》是美國搖滾樂隊——老鷹樂隊演唱的一首經(jīng)典的英文搖滾歌曲,以其深邃的歌詞和優(yōu)美的旋律深受全球樂迷喜愛。歌曲通過描述一個神秘的旅館,隱喻了人生的復(fù)雜與迷茫。
歌詞:
On a dark desert highway.
行駛在昏黑的荒漠公路上
Cool wind in my hair.
涼風吹過我的頭發(fā)
Warm smell of colitas
煙草溫熱的香氣
Rising Up through the air
彌漫在空氣中
Up ahead in the distance.
抬頭遙望遠方
I saw a shimmering light
我看到一絲微弱的燈光 。
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
我的頭越來越沉,視線也變得模糊。
I had to stop for the night
我不得不停下來過夜
There she stood in the doorway
她站在門那兒等候我
I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself
我在心里對自己說
This could be heaven or this could be hell
這里也許是天堂也可能是地獄
Then she lit up a candle
她點燃了蠟燭
And she showed me the way
并給我引路
There were voices down in corridor
走廊深處傳來陣陣說話聲
I thought I heard them say... ...
