Could you please get off my back?
能不能请你不要跟我唠叨了？ Gh3中国英语学习网
要是有人老是对你唠叨个没完，你总有一天会感到无法忍耐，你可能会说: "Hey, get off my back, will you!" 这就是说:"喂，你别跟我唠叨了，行不行！"今天我们要讲的常用语就是：to get off one's back。To get off one's back还可以指一些对人起限制作用的规章、条例或机构等。下面这个例子就是一个商人在抱怨政府过多的条例：Do you know what would help pick up the economy? Just get the government off our backs with all these useless rules and regulations that keep us filling out forms and showing inspectors around.这个人说："你知道什么能够促使经济发展更快吗？就让政府取消所有那些毫无用处的条例和规章就行了，省得我们老是填表格，带着检查员到处看。

波利尼西亚开天辟地神话(Rangi and Papa: a Polynesian creation myth)Gh3中国英语学习网
Long ago, out of a shell, the world emerged. The shell began to open slowly, and the top of that shell became the sky一Rangi, the bottom became earth一Papa.
Now Rangi and Papa loved each other, and so they held each other in a strong embrace. Before long Papa bore sons, 70 in all, each one wishing to help with the new creation.
The sons created beasts to roam the land, birds to fill the sky, and fish to fill the seas. But now that more and more things filled the world, the sons began to long for more space.
The children asked their parents to let go of each other. Papa and Rangi, still very much in love, refused. Their sons began to fear that they might suffocate in this tiny world.
"We need more space," the sons chanted.
But Papa and Rangi still refused to part.
The children, growing impatient, felt their strength double. They placed their shoulders against their mother's belly, and with their feet they pressed against Rangi. Amazingly, Rangi's grip on Papa seemed to loosen.
Soon, the space between Papa and Rangi grew wide enough so that the earth and sky were no longer one.
The sons were amazed. "Now we need humans," they said.
Tane and his brothers found some red clay that they could mold into a man and a woman.
The brothers cooperated to mold humans out of that red clay. When they were finished, Tane took the figures of the man and woman in his arms, pressed his nose to theirs, and breathed the spirit of life into their lungs.
The humans' eyes opened. They sneezed, and came to life.
Rangi and Papa were proud of what their sons had done, but forever afterward they missed each other's touch. Every night Rangi cries, and in the morning the world is damp with the dew of his tears. The morning mists are Papa's sighs of sadness as she thinks of her beloved Rangi, now separated from her embrace. |

最棒的唯一: Best I have ever had
2004年，妻子突然自杀给Allen带来了巨大打击。为求在音乐中藉慰伤痛，Garry Allen发行第六张专辑《Tough all over》，其中，有四首曲子是Allen为亡妻而作。该专辑可以说是Garry Allen最个人化情感的完全体现，专辑中的首支单曲“Best I ever had”虽为翻唱曲目，却经Allan沙哑嗓音的过滤，成为“情深意浓”的动人佳作。
“爱人虽已远去，但这并不是最糟的结局，毕竟，‘我’曾拥有‘你’，‘你’是我最棒的唯一……
Best I have ever had by Garry Allen
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now Gh3中国英语学习网
But I'ts not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
 You're just the best I ever had
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
We'll send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
But I'ts not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
And it might take some time
To patch me up inside
But I cant take it so I
I run away and hide
I might find it in time
That you were always right
You were always right
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted?
But It's not so bad..
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had
You're just the best I ever had...
Words and phrases
1. phony: 假冒的，歌中指没了爱情的“我”犹如一具“空壳”
