I really need to kick back during the holiday.
我假期时真的需要好好放松一下。
最后讲到 relax 这个字, relax 在口语中可以代换成 kick back。 听来是不是有点奇怪呢? 但这真的是蛮流行的讲法。 例如我在广播上常听到, "Kick off your shoes and kick back for a while" (脱掉你的鞋子, 好好地放松一下自己) 。
Kick back 这个片语还有许多其它的意思, 但都跟字面上的意思「踢回去」有关。 例如报复 (revenge)。 "The United States decided to kick back after the incident" (事件发生后, 美国决定要报复。) 或是像拿回扣也是用 kick back 喔, 例如, "The company had to kick back a lot to the corrupt officer" (这家公司必须给腐败的政府官员很大一笔佣金) 。

A: You don't have to tell me all about it. You know, I was not born yesterday.
B: I have to. I'm told to do this by my boss.
A: What kind of boss do you have? I feel sorry for you.
B: This is what I got paid for.
A: 你用不着一五一十的告诉我。我又不是昨天才出生的。
B: 我不能不这么做。老板叫我这么做。
A: 这算哪一门的老板啊？我替你难过。
B: 拿人家的薪水就是要听命于人啊。
重点解说：
1、 You don't have to ~ = You don't need to ~「你用不着~」You don't
have to finish it by tomorrow.「你用不着在明天之前完成。」
2、 feel sorry for (someone)「替(某人)难过」

A bird soars over the lichen-draped remains of Manorbier
Castle in Wales. At its height in the 12th century, the castle consisted of a
gatehouse, a keep, two towers, and a vaulted chapel enclosed within two high
stone curtain walls. Originally built as a fortified manor house, this medieval
castle never encountered attack, which is why it remains remarkably
well-preserved today.

A Fishy Misunderstanding[误解]
Koi[锦色鲤鱼] are an exotic[奇异的] type of fish found in Asia but rarely seen in the United States. Many people here keep these large creatures inside their houses in big tanks or outside in the garden in small, decorative ponds[池塘]. They come in many brilliant colors and look beautiful swimming underneath the water's surface. The biggest, most beautiful and most prized ones measure almost two feet in length and sell for as much as NT$100,000 dollars!
I first learned about koi when I visited a local pet shop. I was there shopping for something unusual to give my girlfriend, who had just moved to Taiwan to teach English. I was immediately attracted to the koi swimming in their tanks.
Of course I couldn't afford the most expensive koi in the shop, so I settled on a much cheaper one. It had shiny silver scales and spectacular red spots on it. The pet shop owner lectured me on how to properly care for a koi. I ended up buying not only the fish but a whole month's worth of food for it.
While my girlfriend was working, I took the fish to her apartment. I filled her bathtub with water and put the fish in the tub. I felt happy and excited. I could only imagine the look on my girlfriend's face when she entered her bathroom and saw this large, exotic fish swimming in the middle of the tub. She sure would be surprised!
The next morning, I couldn't wait any longer. I just had to know how my girlfriend had liked her gift. I called her up and asked, "So how do you like the fish?"
She answered, "Oh, it was delicious!"

Nothing is Gonna Change My Love 让我们在深情的歌声里感受情人节
 Glenn Medeiros葛伦麦德罗斯于1970年6月生于美国夏威夷，是一位偶像型的创作歌手，他初试啼声之作〝Nothing`s Gonna Change My Love For You〞，是翻唱自黑人歌手George Benson的作品，但此一隽咏抒情的好歌是Glenn Medeiros唱红的，此曲最高爬到了全美单曲排行榜第12位，但在海外的英国，法国和德国都拿到了冠军，这首歌在台湾也是红遍大街小巷。
1988年他发行了第二张专辑『Not Me』是张流行味道很浓的作品，快歌慢歌兼具，可惜成绩普普。直到1990年他和Bobby Brown合唱的〝She Ain’t Worth It〞登上全美单曲冠军后，才真正让他尝到走红滋味。1990年推出的同名专辑曲风更加丰富，包含了黑人放克、舞曲，节奏蓝调等。之后和另一位身兼创作者，制作人和吉他手的黑人歌手Ray Parker, Jr合作的〝All I'm missing is you〞也有Top32的佳绩。在他的歌唱生涯里共发行了9张个人专辑，其中有一张是圣诞节应景专辑。此外他还曾和红极一时的欧陆舞曲天团Modern Talking的成员Thomas Anders合唱〝Standing Alone〞收录在他人的专辑里。后期的作品多半充满热带岛国风情的气息，还有夏威夷的一些民谣，也演唱西班牙语的歌曲。曾经是乐坛的白马王子，卸下艺人光环后，如今他在夏威夷的Hale Koa Hotel服务，并且在当地的学校教音乐。
Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You George Benson
If I had to live my life
Without you near me
The days would all be empty
The night would seem so long
With you I see forever all so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young And we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way of us
Like a guiding star I'll be there for you
If you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna Change my love for you
You ought to know by now
How much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than you love
Nothing's gonna Change my love for you
You ought to know by now How much I love you
The world may change My whole life through
But nothing's gonna Change my love for you
