華南師范大學外文學院英語系04級學生。喜歡英文,喜歡聽英文歌曲,一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學到課文里學不到的知識,更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動人的旋律,找到每首歌的觸動點,理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽歌還喜歡看看書,聽歌讓我覺得享受,看書讓我覺得充實。
我聽之我見:原來我對于Eric Clapton 的認識和大多數中國人一樣,只停留在他獲得格萊美獎的三首作品“Tears in heaven”、“Change the world”和“My father's eye”。當看了“Friends”第6季,Chandler和Monica在浪漫共舞, Eric Clapton悠悠地在耳邊唱著“Wonderful tonight”,我對這首歌的愛油然而生。如果說,生活中美好的東西讓我們向往讓我們感動,那這美好就是……
Lyrics
Wonderful tonight byEric Clapton
It's late in the evening
She is wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight."

2. love light:想象一下,“如果看著自己心愛的人,眼睛都會閃閃發(fā)光”
3. I've got an aching head:我頭疼,也可以說成“My head was aching”
4. help someone to bed:無論發(fā)生了什么事,這是一個倒裝句,正常的順序應該是:whatever may come。

中文歌詞
美妙的夜晚 埃里克·克萊普頓
夜已深
她還在為著裝發(fā)愁
薄施粉黛
梳罷金發(fā)
然后她問我,我看起來不錯吧
我說,你今晚看起來美極了
我們去參加舞會
所有人的目光都投向
與我同行的麗人
然后她問我,你感覺還好吧
我說,我今晚感覺棒極了
感覺很美妙因為我看見了
你眼中閃爍的愛意
最妙的是
你卻沒有意識到
我有多愛你
