樂在英文學習中 – 唱歌學英文 – Memories
英文程度:初級
今要唱歌學英文的歌曲是Memories,這是美國加州魔力紅(Maroon 5)樂團所演唱的歌曲,去年是他們第4度來台開演唱會,這首歌據知是他們為了紀念因心臟病突逝的經紀人老友,雖說這歌是為表達悼念,但曲風輕快,易朗朗上口,所以用來學英文是個不錯的選擇,相信聽久唱熟後,你可不加思索的說些英文喔!
這首歌倒是沒有什麼單字,就樂團名Maroon 5的maroon,指孤立無援(或闖蕩)的人、粟色(褐紫紅色);5則是樂團的成員有5個。另一個字是ember,指餘火、餘燼、餘煤、餘炭,要小心把這字與另一字amber琥珀、黃褐色搞混了。
這歌我翻好後有查了網路翻譯,第一句歌詞中的the ones that we got,不少譯成「我們曾有的一切」這個意思。雖然歌詞第一句話就出現代名詞the ones容易令人搞不清楚所指為何,但其實從後面歌詞的意思是可以知道是在指曾經相識的人,這邊特別提出來是要提醒大家代名詞的重要性,因它會影響你對句意的理解。
最後,這首歌出現了gon' 跟ya兩個口語表逹,這在先前的兩首歌Señorita跟On The Floor就出現過了,還記得是什麼字的縮寫嗎?
