 ::每日一句:: 


I just want some easy grades.qk4中国英语学习网

我只想混学分。

  国内的大学也越来越多第采用学分制。同样是三学分的课,有些课就要考三次试、十次作业外加一份期未报告;而有些课不但不用考试,连作业也没几次。像这种很好拿的分数,英文里就叫“easy grade”,相当于中文里的“容易混的课”之类的意思。qk4中国英语学习网
   例句:qk4中国英语学习网
   Just give me some easy grade! qk4中国英语学习网
   让我混及分吧!(本句选自《小苯霖英语笔记本》)qk4中国英语学习网

In The Womb 子宫日记 18 (END)

All her vital life systems are now working independently and the umbilical cord can be cut. The placenta is now redundant and in the third stage of labor, it detaches from the uterine wall and follows the baby out through the vagina. After growing painstakingly inside her womb for nine months, the baby finally comes face to face with her mother. The sweet smile seen inside the womb is gone now, as the baby is thrust into a noisy, bright world and starts to feel uncomfortable sensations like cold and hunger. Her smile won't be seen again until she is at least 4 weeks old. Each year around the world, about 130 million women go through the complex cycle of pregnancy and birth. Our increasingly sophisticated understanding of the process has drastically reduced the risks for both mother and baby. qk4中国英语学习网
qk4中国英语学习网
And now for this little girl, after 9 months in the womb and a healthy delivery, she's on her own. Her parents will feed her and keep her warm, but for the first time, her body must keep itself alive. She's gone from egg to embryo, to fetus, to trillions of cells of newborn baby. Her birth marks the beginning of her journey in the world, but she's already traveled an incredible path during her nine-month odyssey in the womb. Protected by her mother and following her own unique genetic blueprint, she's grown a face, arms, eyes and legs. She has a brain and nervous system to control her body, stomach and intestines to digest food and a heart to pump blood. She has learned to breathe, to hear, to feed, to remember and to tell her parents when she's hungry, tired, happy or in pain or before being born, and now she's ready to face the world. qk4中国英语学习网

《Comfortably Numb 》--麻木是最好的生存状态~?  

《Comfortably Numb 》

---舒适的麻木感

所谓麻木感,不是没有感觉,而是多次经历的相同的事情给你的感触,

在词霸时间也算不短,今天第一次觉得,净土,何为土?没有dust哪里是土呢。。。

自我开导,废话不说,即使不爽,也还好有歌曲的洗涤。。。

每当听到伟大的乐队带来的歌曲,那样洪大的冲击力完全可以湮没个体的情绪,而融入普遍化的大情怀中。。

今天介绍的乐队 Pink Floyd,是与 the beatles, the rolling stones 以及 the who 齐名的英伦摇滚乐队

有人把乐队名称译作“平克·弗洛伊德”,而我,宁愿称他们为“ 绯色梦幻”。。。

“pink floyd”的来历和粉红,佛洛伊德并无关联,只是来自主唱所钟爱的两个音乐者的名字的合成,

但是难道是应了中国人的迷信思想,之后此乐队的音乐风向开始向迷幻倾斜,

更有甚者,在乐队事业如日中天的时候,主唱兼吉他手Syd Barrett却因精神问题的原因

永远的离开了乐队和他所热衷的音乐。。。

这是巧合,抑或是天意使然~?

在Syd Barrett短暂的音乐生涯中,

他创作出了大量“极富特质的流行迷幻作品,配以敏感的词作,用诗歌的感觉、天真的视角阐述严肃思想。”qk4中国英语学习网

我爱传奇,我爱传奇人物,无论他们最终的结局是喜是悲,短暂一生所经历的精彩

是足以迷住我眼我心的。。。

进而认为能倾听到他们的声音,读到他们的诗作亦是幸事。

此时,Sesshomaaru即是带着些许颤抖的心态来记述,有人说微微的战栗和激动是最佳的写作状态

无论是乐队首张专辑《The Piper at the Gates of Dawn》,还是后来广受好评的

再创辉煌的《The Dark Side of The Moon》以及让世界震惊的《The Wall》,

这些专辑,让人惊叹,有人说,:“平克·佛洛伊德乐队是最富有革新精神的乐队之一——创造性和技术性——

在摇滚上,他的声音和形象犹如一幅超现实的巨大锦画。。。”

在这些幻彩的专辑作品中,Sesshomaaru喜欢的有《Another Brick in the Wall》,。《Wish You Were Here》。

今天介绍的这首《Comfortably Numb 》,开始的那样绵绵的鼓点,

配合着电吉他的迷幻音色,主唱的说唱,一切都是那么无懈可击。。。

当听到:“Hello.Is there anybody in there?”

内心震撼绝对不亚于恶魔殿下的那句:“oh,girl, we r the same~~"

这样的传世之作是值得从头到尾连听数遍的,从开始它就扼住你的脉搏,

让你被感动,感情却又无法宣泄,这里的歌曲早已超出了玩乐的浅薄之域。。。

惨烈的笑着,直击你灵魂中不愿示人的一面!这种力量不可小觑!

不可错过每个音符,每段章节,似都有灵魂,似都是精灵在飞舞,

不知道哪个在哪时

就如雨后新芽般推开了你心灵之门,或者

就如初夏晚风般

轻轻的吹散了你的记忆之书的封印。。。

《Comfortably Numb 》

歌手:Pink Floyd qk4中国英语学习网

I do believe it's working. Good.qk4中国英语学习网
That'll keep you going for the show.qk4中国英语学习网
Come on it's time to go.qk4中国英语学习网

There is no pain, you are receding.qk4中国英语学习网
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.qk4中国英语学习网
You are only coming through in waves.qk4中国英语学习网
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.qk4中国英语学习网
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,qk4中国英语学习网
Out of the corner of my eye.qk4中国英语学习网
I turned to look but it was gone.qk4中国英语学习网
I cannot put my finger on it now.qk4中国英语学习网
The child is grown, the dream is gone.qk4中国英语学习网
I have become comfortably numb.
