 ::每日一图:: 

The Milford Mariner, a replica of a traditional New Zealand coastal trading scow, sails through a blue-gray fog in Milford Sound.

The sound, part of Fiordland National Park on the southwest coast of New Zealand's South Island, is surrounded by towering, jagged peaks strewn with waterfalls. The Mariner takes tours right up to (and sometimes underneath) the frigid cascades.PtF中国英语学习网

Australia 南半球之神奇大陆9

The color is beautiful. You'll never find it anywhere else in the world. That’s probably the country's ancient and all our land is ancient. Let's look at the landscape, look at the colors. Let’s look at what Mother Nature displays, what's on the show every day? What is miserable?PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
This is not decorative art. This is the thing itself: a human response to existence, a map of the contract between man and nature. PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
To paint the story is to have the knowledge of your land. And it's only when you know what your country is, then you can paint it. PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Here the timeless is sliced through by the mindless- the numbingly long highways that link up the modern nation. You might think you know some lengthy roads, but this is long with a vengeance- 2,000 miles with seldom another human or machine along the way. An Australian road train is longer than a Boeing 737. This 18-wheeler has 62 wheels and Aussie truckers have changes more than a few. Road trains carry goods through Australia's heart. From the northern outpost of Darwin to the southern city of Adelaide is a round trip of almost 4,000 miles, and Sydney to Perth is 5,000 miles in total, the equivalent of New York to Hawaii.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Basically, nothing, you can’t see nothing for miles.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Bisecting the country, you can travel for hours without seeing a sign of civilization- apart from the tarmac. It can be daunted, but it can also be inspiring.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
This land of the big sky induces contemplation about ourselves and our place in the cosmos. From the northern hemisphere, you can't see the skies down under. Celebrated astronomers from around the world come here to be amazed by the heaven's mark, by the Southern Cross.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
I, I would think that some of those most eminent bottoms in astronomy have actually occupied the seat here. PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
The Siding Spring Optical Observatory perched on ancient mountain range and free of light pollution is an astronomer's Nirvana. Only from the southern hemisphere can you see right into the center of the Milky Way. PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Australia is in the region of longitude where there is virtually nothing else in the way of either radio telescopes or optical telescopes. PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Almost every night in this outback outpost, Professor Fred Watson hosts Australian and international astronomers waiting their turn to unlock the secrets of deep universal time.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
The other thing about Australia that makes it attractive is the two Magellanic Clouds, which are two nearest neighbor galaxies- huge aggregations of very large numbers of stars. These two Magellanic Clouds offer all kinds of prospects for detailed study of what galaxies are like other than our own. One of the things we specialized in is looking at very large angles of sky simultaneously. We can build up a kind of population census of the way stars behave in very large numbers.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Radio telescopes reach even deeper into the heavens. They trap the faint beat of our universe with technology that is Australia's gift to the world.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
In the 1950s and 60s, Australia led the world in the field of radio astronomy. It actually makes a much bigger impact on the world scene than you might expect from a country with a population of only 20-odd million.PtF中国英语学习网
PtF中国英语学习网
Giant arrays of radio dishes capture distant galaxies while others relay signals from international space missions. It should not be forgotten that some of NASA's most important relay stations are here. Famously, the station that helped save Apollo 13 was down under and Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon was picked up of the sky and relayed to the world from here.PtF中国英语学习网

Push Me Away  

来自美国的The Last Goodnight让人略感陌生,但实际上是几支优秀年轻乐队的完美组合,其核心灵魂人物John是这支乐队成功重要因素.

最初看到专集的封面感觉略有恐怖,John在解释唱片封面的时候说到,这个社会虽然充满了无情和险恶,但其实我们的情感永远是美丽的!有时候一个亲吻,一点爱,就可以改变身边很多自己认为不好的事情!听完整盘专集,歌词所表达的意思也是如此,旋律清新柔和,虽然带着Rock的氛围,但歌曲有刚有柔,音乐制作是相当的细腻,非常入耳!主唱的嗓音,演唱技巧,情感的抒发都无懈可击!部分曲子钢琴蓝调式的演奏使音乐更添柔情与内涵!在乐队录制专集中, 一首歌在录音时修改几十次是非常正常,曲子的改动,演唱方式的优化造就出如此精良优秀的作品,The Last Goodnight有着先天的音乐才能, 加上后天的勤奋和敬业,为我们这些音乐爱好者们打造出一盘五星级超享受的音乐唱片!(转) .PtF中国英语学习网

The Last Goodnight-- Push Me Away

Why can't you begin to understand? PtF中国英语学习网
You're only happy when you're sad and it's killing me PtF中国英语学习网
We can talk, we can cry, we can tell each other lies PtF中国英语学习网
And call this our goodbye

This is no kind of relationship PtF中国英语学习网
It's all stressed, broken, bruised and walking out the door PtF中国英语学习网
We can run, we can hide, just look me in the eye PtF中国英语学习网
And call this our goodbye

[Chorus] PtF中国英语学习网
You push me away for the first time, oh PtF中国英语学习网
I can see, this will be just another landslide, PtF中国英语学习网
You push me away for the last time PtF中国英语学习网
And I'm over it, but in the meantime PtF中国英语学习网
You push me away for the last time

Ba da da, Ba da da, Ba da da PtF中国英语学习网
Ba da da, Ba da da

Your parade of dishonesty PtF中国英语学习网
Has shown me sides of you I never knew and never want to know PtF中国英语学习网
We can run, we can fly, I'm just sick of all the lies PtF中国英语学习网
This is my goodbye

[Chorus]

This is my break up to you, breaking through you PtF中国英语学习网
This is me, broke in pieces, can't you see this?

You push me away for the first time, whoah PtF中国英语学习网
I can see, this will be just another landslide

You push me away for the first time, whoah PtF中国英语学习网
I can see, this will be just another landslide, PtF中国英语学习网
You push me away for the last time PtF中国英语学习网
And I'm over it, but in the meantime PtF中国英语学习网
You push me away for the last time

I don't want this to be just another landslide PtF中国英语学习网
I don't want this to be just another landslide PtF中国英语学习网
Just another landslide PtF中国英语学习网
