• Is "500 miles" a long distance? I had never thought of the question before I heard the song "500 Miles".

    One day, when I wandered among different blogs on the Internet, I was caught by the song in the music box of Vincent's blog and the feeling of being homesick revealed by the song.

    Actually, I had listened to it and had stored it in my computer formerly. However, I have lived a simple but happy life with my parents and have never been far away from my home. Naturally, I can't have a complete understanding of the homesickness expressed in the song

  • "I opened my wallet and found it empty; reached into my pocket and found few coins; searched my life and I found you. Then I realized how rich I am:)".

    That is a piece of short message I received before. In fact, I can't remember ...

    The Meaning of Love

    It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
    But what is more painful is
    to love someone and never find the courage
    to let that

  • Every week, I and my students have a listening lesson. During the lesson, we listen to English songs. Today, we listen to an English song as usual. It is a song of Westlife called I have a dream.

    It seems that the students are not interested in it. However, I like the song very much.I was struck by the song's name when I listen to it for the first time. Then, the lyrics moved me again.

    Everybody has a dream. What you should do is to try your best to make it come true. Maybe you will meet difficulties, but the dream can give you bravery. As long as you perservere in your efforts, you will realize the dream. You are likely to burst into tears because of the difficulties. But on the other hand, the happiness in the process of making efforts will become your treasure in life. So"If you see the wonder of a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail." When you have a dream, you will cross the stream."

    Although the students donot like the song very much, I still want to recommend the song to my friends. Everyone needs a dream in his life. The dream can support you to overcome the sorrow in life and make your life meaningful and enriched. So, remember your dream , and keep making efforts to realize it.

     

    I have a dream,a song to sing
    To help me cope with anything
    If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
    You can take the future even if you fail
    I believe in angels
    Something good in everything I see
    I believe in angels
    When I know the time is right for me
    I'll cross the stream I have a dream

    I have a dream,a fantasy
    To help me through reality
    And my destination makes it worth the while
    Pushing through the darkness still another mile
    I believe in angels
    Something good in everything I see
    I believe in angels
    When I know the time is right for me
    I'll cross the stream I have a dream

    I have a dream, a song to sing
    To help me cope with anything
    If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
    You can take the future even if you fail
    I believe in angels
    Something good in everything I see
    I believe in angels
    When I know the time is right for me
    I'll cross the stream I have a dream
    I'll cross the stream I have a dream

  •     今天下午,跑去辅导弟子们的听力。他们的班主任老师很重视英语,也很有创意,在听力练习之后还加了英语歌曲版块。

    有个弟子说,她从别的班级的同学那听说,西域男孩的Season in the Sun很好听,要求下次听力辅导课就听这首歌。

    因材施教,既然他们喜欢,就找来了。说实话,虽然专业是英语,但本人对英语歌曲一直是不怎么感冒,除了那几首超级感动的,其他的基本是“星盲状态”了。看来,真得教学相长,以后得向弟子们学习,多听点英文歌了。

    这首歌听了之后,觉得真得很不错。调子柔和,歌词温馨,佩服弟子们的眼力!

    至于歌词大意,表达的是一种离别和回忆的情绪。朋友、家人、恋人给自己提供了很多的帮助,度过了很多美好的时光(We had joy, we had fun,we had seasons in the sun)。但是现在很多都变了,于是又有了淡淡的感伤。(But the hills that we climbed,Were just seasons out of time ;But the wine and the song,Like the seasons have all gone)

    具体的含义,大家试着自己翻译!至于演唱的背景等,有些情况我也不是很清楚了,上面谈的是自己的感觉。感兴趣的朋友们可以自己探讨了。不多说了,大家欣赏吧!

    Season in the sun


    Goodbye to you my trusted friend
    We've known each other
    since we were nine or ten
    Together we've climned hills and trees
    Learned of love and ABC's
    Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
    Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that spring is in the air
    Pretty girls are everywhere
    Think of me and I'll be there
    We had joy, we had fun
    we had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed
    Were just seasons out of time
    Goodbye Papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song
    Wonder how I got along
    Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Little children everywhere
    When you see them, I'll be there
    We had joy, we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone
    We had joy, we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone
    Goodbye Michelle my little one
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground
    Goodybye Michelle it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    With the flowers everywhere
    I wish that we could both be there
