听歌学英语Can't Take My Eyes Off You

昨晚凌晨一个隔壁班的大学同学来电话,聊了差不多2个钟,早上起来还是像往常一样上班,坐在办公室,玩自己的电脑。看到百度昨天停止快照更新了,就来发篇文章。

回归正题吧,这次上传了一首叫Can't Take My Eyes Off You的过去,是来自美国的一首经典老歌曲。听歌之前,先了解一下过去的背景:Frankie Valli是美国6,70年代的白人r&b,soul流行合唱团four season的大梁。他们的曲风是当时受黑人极大影响的白人灵魂乐还有冲浪乐。听过beach boys的就知道了,一个类型的。而当Frankie Valli单飞后写了can't take my eyes off you这首歌。日后这首歌成了Frankie Valli最令人难忘的一首歌。这首歌的影响甚至远远超出了four season的所有作品。听歌不仅要学语法和新单词,学习历史文化背景也是提升个人英文素养的一个很好的过程。

全部歌词:

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
I love you baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...

I love you baby, and if it's quite allright,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
I love you baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

Oh pretty baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty baby ...

歌曲介绍:

Frankie Valli, the lead singer of the Four Seasons, launched a solo career in 1965 after several years of chart-topping success, while still continuing with the group which was re-billed as "Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons." He had actually begun as a solo, releasing the 1953 single "My Mother's Eyes" under the name Frankie Valley. His debut solo single was "(You're Gonna) Hurt Yourself" at the end of 1965, but his first solo success came with the gold-selling "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (June 1967), which appeared on his first solo album, Frankie Valli-Solo (July 1967). This was followed by Timeless (1968). Valli discontinued solo work for half a dozen years, concentrating on the group. But he returned to solo recordings in the mid-'70s. His subsequent solo hits included the number one "My Eyes Adored You" (November 1974), "Swearin' to God" (May 1975), "Our Day Will Come" (October 1975), and the number one "Grease" (May 1978).

需要掌握的语法内容:

1、Can't take my eyes off you
=you beauty attracts me so much that i find it very hard not to fix my eyes on you.
fix one's eyes on somebody:眼睛盯着某人看

2、I wanna hold you so much.=i'm eager to hug you.
hug(n&vi):拥抱

3、in terns of 以。。。。的观点,在。。。方面
There is no other girl that can compare with you in terms of beauty.(就美貌而言,没有什么其他女孩子能与你相比)

By sampling the local cases, the paper analyzes the tourism development in BeiJing in terns of demography features of domestic tourists spatial distribution, domestic tourists markets , and tourists motive and behavior.利用实地问卷调查数据,分析北京国内旅游者人口学特征、国内旅游者空间分布特征、旅游者动机和行为。

4、now that:既然

我们在用now that这一词组时常常出错。它是个从属连词,可以归入because,as,since这一家族,意思和since(既然,由于)接近,但now that必须引出一个新的情况,否则需要由别的词替代。请看下面的例子:
①Now that none of us knows her telephone number, we will have to send someone to deliver the message.

既然咱们谁也不知道她的电话号码,只有找个人去把消息告诉她了。

②Now that he hasn't fully recovered yet,it will not be proper to assign him such a hard job.

既然他身体还没有完全恢复,指派他干这样的难活不适宜。


这两句中用now that不妥,该换成since或as,因为“没人知道她的电话号码”这一事实,过去如此,现在也如此,不是一个新的情况;“他还没完全恢复健康”也不是一个现在才发生的新情况。下面句子的now that都用对了:
①Now that everyone is here let's start work.

现在人都齐了,咱们开始干吧。

②Now that We have coverd the whole chapter we may have a discussion next

time we meet.

整个一章都看完了,下次见面时就可以是讨论了。
“人到齐了”和“整个一章都看完了”都是现在的新情况。

5、You're just too good to be true.这个句子没有包含较高级的词汇,却表达出比较优美的含义,意思是:“你美得让人难以置信”或“你太完美了”。多在口头上练习几次,是不是又会说一句地道的英文表达了?!嘿嘿!

好了,这次听歌学英语就到此结束了,该做笔记的赶紧写到笔记本里,别忘了复习哦!
