词汇档案

detective [ditektiv] a.侦探的

probably [prbbli] adv.大概,或许

forgetful [fɡetful] a.健忘的

小叮咛

①She is very fond of detective stories.她很喜欢侦探故事。

be fond of: 爱好,喜欢。通常,be fond of不用于否定句。同样是表示“喜欢”,“enjoy”往往夹杂着“享受,从中获得乐趣”的感觉,而be fond of就显得比 较平淡了,只比“like”表达的程度稍微强烈一点点而已。例如:He was fond of drawing when he was a child.

03想唱就唱

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT今晚你寂寞吗

Are you lonesome tonight

Do you miss me tonight

Are you sorry we drifted apart

Does your memory stray to a bright summer day

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there

Is your heart filled with pain

Shall I come back again

Tell me,dear,

"Are you lonesome tonight"

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight.

You know someone said that the world's a stage,

And we each must play a part.

Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.

Act One was where we met.

I loved you at first glance,

You read your lines so cleverly,

And never missed a cue.

Then came Act Two.

You seemed to change,you acted strange,

Why I've never known.

Honey,you lied when you said you loved me.

And I had no cause to doubt you.

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies

Than go on living without you.

Now the stage is bare,

And I'm standing there with emptiness all around.

And if you won't come back to me,

Then they can bring the curtain down.

今晚你寂寞吗

今晚你是否想我

我们分手你是否难过

是否还偶尔记得那个灿烂夏日

我吻着你,叫你甜心

是否没有我屋中便显得空荡

是否注视门阶想象着我在那里

你的内心是否充满痛苦

我应该再回来吗

告诉我,亲爱的

今晚你寂寞吗

我想知道今晚你是否寂寞

你知道,有人说:这世界是个舞台

每人都在扮演一个角色

命运要我坠入情网,而你就是我的情爱

第一幕即是我们相遇的时刻

我对你一见钟情

你的台词背得如此纯熟,没有丝毫差错

第二幕你似乎变了,变得行为怪异

至今我仍无法弄清为什么

亲爱的,你骗我说你爱我

而我却信以为真

但我宁愿听你撒谎

然后独自生活

如今舞台已经空荡荡

我仍然站在空荡的舞台上

如果你还不回到我的身旁

那么,这出戏也要最终落幕了

03经典背诵

THE LAST WALTZ最后一曲华尔兹

I wonder should I go or should I stay

The band had only one more song to play

And then I saw you out of the corner of my eye

A little girl alone and so shy

I had the last waltz with you

Two lonely people together

I fell in love with you

The last waltz should last forever

But the love we had was going strong

Through the good and bad we got along

And then the flame of love died in your eye

My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye

I had the last waltz with you

Two lonely people together

I fell in love with you

The last waltz should last forever

It's all over now

Nothing left to say

Just my tears and the orchestra playing

La la la la la la la la la la,

La la la la la la la la la la.

我不知该走还是该留

乐队只剩下一首歌要演奏

这时我从眼角余光看见你

一个既孤单又害羞小姑娘

我与你,两个孤寂的人在一起

跳了最后这一曲华尔兹

我爱上了你

这最后一曲华尔兹应永远继续

我们的爱越来越强烈

我们共度了快乐与悲伤的时光

后来爱的火焰在你眼里消失

当你说“再见”时,我的心碎了

我与你,两个孤寂的人在一起

跳了最后这一曲华尔兹

我爱上了你

这最后一曲华尔兹应永远继续

现在全结束了

再没什么可说了

只有我的眼泪伴随着乐队演奏

啦,啦,啦……

啦,啦,啦……
