[分享] Everyday English~~~

jackyxie

高中还没有分班的时候，班主任是一位很有热情的英语老师，很注重素质教育，从军训的第一天起，他就让我们每天都背一段或几段英语短句，他说这叫做Everyday English，一年半里从未间断。这些短句很顺口，也很有道理，还包括歌词、绕口令……现在想起来，真的很感谢老师，因为天天背这些句子，使我的语感有很大的提高，对英语的学习热情也高涨了很多，能一次通过四六级，有很大原因要归功于Everyday English。

      刚刚居然让我翻到这些充满记忆的句子，于是决定把它们拿出来和大家一起分享，虽然不一定对大家有帮助，但我还是会每天打一段出来，也当作对我高中生活的一种见证吧。

      老师要求我们背这些句子要as loud as possible & as quickly as possible，最好能一口气脱口而出（就是李阳疯狂英语的方法，因为老师经常到疯狂英语夏令营或冬令营做研究生班的任课老师，深得其精髓），我也发觉这样对提高语感和口语很有帮助，不过偶大一时对面F栋某君连续几晚很大声地读英语，搞到我复习不了，真想874他，大家就看着办吧……

      因为是高中时背的句子，所以有些会比较简单，不过读一下也是很有好处的

      那现在就开始吧：

Money will buy
          amusements, but not happiness
          a bed, but not sleep
          books, but not wisdom

How I wonder what you are.

        Dreams
                by Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams 　　             紧紧地抓住梦想
For if dreams die 　　                 因为如果梦想逝去
Life is a broken winged bird 　　  生活就只是一只折翅的鸟
That cannot fly 　　                  再也不能飞翔
   
Hold fast to dreams 　　             紧紧地抓住梦想
For when dreams go 　　            因为如果梦想消失
Life is a barren field 　　              生活就只是一片荒芜的土地
Frozen with snow                       被寒雪封冻

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－


9.29

       Hero

there's a hero
if you look inside your heart
you don't have to be afraid
of what you are

there's an answer
if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know
will meit away

and then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
so when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

it's a long road
when you face the world alone
no one reaches out a hand
for you to hold

you can find love
if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear

and then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
so when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

lord knows......
dreams are hard to follow
but don't let anyone
tear them away

hold on
there will be tomorrow
in time you'll find the away

and then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
so when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

（Mariah Carey比较出名嘅一首歌Hero嘅歌词，我地班嘅班歌哦

How can we go to sleep at night without knowing that on this day our smile, our touch, our words helped someone along the way?

Keep your eyes on the sky

10.4

I remember how you held my hand through thick and thin
We cried a lot, and share the tears that laughter brings
I remember you
I remember all those things

I didn’t invite her to my party
Because she didn’t invite me to hers
It was tit for tat （tit for tat——以牙还牙、针锋相对）

Clap your hands

Burry it deep
Only the weak complain
Complaint is cheap

      Blowing In the Wind
                                         Bob Dylan

how many roads must a man walk down
before they call him a man
how many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand
how many times must the cannon balls fly
before they're forever banned
the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

how many years must a mountain exist
before it is washed to the sea
how many years can some people exist
before they're allowed to be free
how many times can a man turn his head
and pretend that he just doesn't see
the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

how many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky
how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry
how many deaths will it take
'till he knows that too many people have died
the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

（班主任以前推荐嘅一首歌，觉得里面How many……嘅句子非常正，原唱係Bob Dylan，揾到几首速度都太慢，所以揾咗呢首Peter Paul & Mary嘅版本，又捻起Forrest Gump里面Jenny唱呢首歌嘅情景……

I’m really sorry about not
Turning up for our date last night
Let me take you to dinner tonight
To make up for it        （make up for，补偿）

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
You never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems far

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－


10.8

There is a great deal of difference between
An eager man who wants to read a book
And a tired man who wants a book to read

It’s OK with me if you take Alice to the dance
But don’t plan to see me this weekend        （呢句纯粹口语，just for fun ^_^）

10.9

Youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care
Youth is like summer brave, age is like winter bare
Youth is full of sport, age’s breath is shot
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold

One day when new bridge are set up
When true understanding between
The east and the west is established
Our hearts will touch
Our minds will share
Our souls will communicate

Beautiful summer, so warm and so bright
Beautiful autumn, with fruits and with grain
Beautiful winter, with snowflakes again

It sounds like you are having a party tonight
Well, I don’t want to spoil your party
But if you could just turn down that stereo
I’d appreciate it

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The best books haven’t been written
The best race hasn’t been run
The best score hasn’t been made
The best song hasn’t been sung
The best tune hasn’t been played
Cheer up, for the world is young
