*** Study this song first...Please !
Yesterday when I was young Glen Campbell
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years have run away
Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures that lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
And I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
And I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit so quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
昨日当我年轻时 葛伦坎伯
昨日当我年轻时
生命的滋味甜美,如同舌尖上的雨珠
我嘲笑人生,笑它是个愚蠢的游戏
就像向晚的微风调戏烛火那样
那些我做过的千百个美梦
那些我计划要做的冠冕堂皇的事
总是建筑在脆弱而流动的沙土上
我活在夜里,避开白天的阳光
如今只能眼睁睁看著岁月流逝
昨日当我年轻时
有太多的歌等我去唱
太多狂野的享乐在店里等我
太多的痛苦,我那昏眩的双眼不愿正视
我冲得太快,时光与青春终於消逝殆尽
我从不曾停下来思考生命的意义
如今我记得的每一席对话
和我有关的都是一片空白
昨日,有太多的不可能
每个疯狂的日子总有新鲜事要做
我将这段奇幻岁月像魔杖一般耍弄
却看不见未来的荒芜及空虚
在爱情游戏中,我玩弄著狂妄和尊严
我点燃的火焰很快就灰飞烟灭
我结交的朋友们最后都远走他方
只剩我一个人在舞台上独自演完这出戏
昨日当我年轻时
有太多的歌等我去唱
太多狂野的享乐在店里等我
太多的痛苦,我那昏眩的双眼不愿正视
我心里有太多的歌不能唱
只因我尝到了舌尖上泪水的苦涩
时候到了,我得为过往的青涩岁月付出代价........
这首歌原本是一首法文歌曲,词曲并演唱者为 Charles Aznavour,后来由 Herbert Kretzmer 翻译为英文,乡村歌手 Roy Clark 於 1965 年首度灌唱,在排行榜上获得不错的成绩。而后翻唱版本众多,Glen Campbell 的演唱市面上较容易买到...

其实看美剧学英语不是边看边学习的。如果想要收到比较好的效果,你应该先看一遍这集(看中文字幕),了解这集的剧情后,再看一遍剧本,研究剧本,找自己的突破点和难点。当你研究下剧本后,再看一遍,就会觉得,不看中文字幕也能听得懂他们在说什么了,这时候就会听出来其实很多词都是很简单的。
当然,剧本最好是有解析帮助的。你可以百度一下爱酷英语,那上面有一个美剧的学习,有视频,关键是有中英对照的剧本,还有英文剧本词汇解析,很到位,很适合想提高英语的人学习来用。有friends, heroes, prison break, gossip girl, desperate housewives, lie to me, 应该会有你喜欢的美剧。另外,爱酷里面也有音乐的,累了听首歌曲也不错,歌词也是有解析的。
感觉哦,不要只为了中考去练习,英语水平是个长期拉锯战,在平时慢慢积累,才会有不菲的收益。希望你中考顺利喽~~
