12句《美国偶像》评委最爱说的英文评价
六句差评
1. What the hell is that?!
这都是些什么玩意儿啊？！
使用情况：通常得到这样评论的选手必定是吓了评委一大跳的——in a BAD way of course。不是跑调得厉害就是表演得出奇怪异。
2. I didn't understand a word of that.
我是一个字儿都没听明白。
使用情况：碰到口齿不清的选手——比方紧张到舌头打结、异国口音、带着牙套上场的，就只能这么说了。
3. It's completely pointless/ridiculous/weird.
完全没有意义/荒谬至极/怪异透顶了。
使用情况：自然……也不是什么好话。其中“It's completely pointless”多用在选手一上来的表现被批，然后主动要求再唱一首，结果还是被拒绝的情况。通常，评委没有主动明示的话，就不要自作聪明啦，不然只会给人家带来更大的折磨。
4. Sorry, sweet heart.
对不起，亲爱的。
使用情况：显然也是no的意思，通常选手是那种性格比较讨人喜欢，或者长得还算漂亮，可惜歌艺平平的那种。当然也不否认偶尔也有评委为了安慰选手这么一说……sweetheart还能替换成honey, dear之类的。
5. There’s nothing special.
平平无奇。
使用情况：最令人胸闷的一个评价，这类选手很多时候自信满满——大部分选手都如此——也确实唱得还算不错，但在听过千万人表演的评委的挑剔耳中，平时算得是上乘的歌声也只能算是平庸了。
6. I’ve never heard that in my life.
这辈子没听过这么唱的。
使用情况：最令人迷惑的评价。他是在表扬你么？他是在批评你么？Well，大部分选手愿意相信前者，但多数情况下评委的选择是后者。悲剧就是这样产生的。
六句好评
1. It’s a bit over-the-top.
稍许有些过火了。
使用情况：歌唱得还算不错, 然而表演过头的那种。过多的舞蹈动作反而会减分呢……如果歌声足够出彩，也许评委会多给一次机会让选手换首安静一点的歌来唱。
2. I think you deserve a second chance.
我认为你有资格获得第二次机会。
使用情况：虽然有点勉强，不过“第二次机会”就意味着你没有被直接淘汰，进入下一轮啦！
3. I’ve got goose bumps.
我浑身都起鸡皮疙瘩了。
使用情况：通常是女评委会这么说，绝对是好话哦。只有选手的声音很有穿透力、感动了评委才会发生这样的事情。注意这个词组goose bumps，“鹅皮疙瘩”——估计老外个子大疙瘩也比咱东方人的大，所以不是“鸡皮”而是“鹅皮”。
4. This girl/boy can sing.
这家伙真能唱啊。
使用情况：在选手走出房间之后，评委们要是私底下这么说的话，那这位选手可就得意啦。
5. You are absolutely nature/brilliant/amazing/fantastic.
你天生是歌手的料/你简直才华横溢/你太令人惊喜了。
使用情况：谁都听得出这是很高的评价啦。要注意这个You are absolutely nature. 估计要说“你天生…”这样的句子我们都会想得很复杂，原来nature一个词就可以了。还有就是老外说话很喜欢加absolutely这么“严重”的修饰，加强语气嘛。
6. One hundred/thousand/million percent yes!
百分之百/千/百万同意！
使用情况：“百分百同意”么经常听见，不过果然老外说话夸张啊，百分之千什么也带的……有一次我还听到了One hundred million percent yes! 汗……那得多少个零啊？
一起学雅思 你最喜欢的歌

Describe your favorite song
you should say:
– What is the song about?
– When did you first hear the song?
– Why is it your favorite?
Honestly speaking, for the most part, I would probably say that I have a great passion for listening to music and indeed I have listened like thousands of songs so far.
However, if I have to pick out a song that I like the most, I would probably choose the song Never grow old by Dolores from Cranberries（小红莓乐队).
I really enjoy the gorgeous lyrics and melody, which makes me addicted to this song. I can even remember the lyrics：
“I had a dream
In this dream it seems
It was my perfect day
Open my eyes
I realize this is my perfect day
Hope you never grow old”
Whenever I hear this song, I can feel a touch of sadness, and loneliness, but it also shows the hope of a better future. Maybe this is because of her unhappy experience in her childhood. It is said that she had been abused since she was 8 years old. What a pity. She is such a talented singer! In this song, I feel she is so desperate that she could do anything to escape the cycle of her life but after all she can ’ t afford to do so.
The reason that I am so fond of this song has something to do with the fact that it provokes so many beautiful memories from my childhood. Although it is a sad song, it opens my eyes to many things in life. One of them is that we should not take anything for granted, even the simplest one, and try to live to our fullest so that one day we would not have to regret that much about the journey that we have been through.
Fairly speaking, Hope You Never Grow Old is a really good song for self-reflecting, especially when you find yourself lost in the super busy world nowadays.
