Hello 各位好，欢迎收听河北地质大学学生科协微信公众号每天播出的《听歌学英语》栏目。我是大家的老朋友Nancy，今天为大家推荐的是《Beautiful》美丽。

《Beautiful》是由美国说唱歌手埃米纳姆演唱的歌曲，发行于2009年8月11日，2010年1月31日，歌曲获得第52届格莱美奖“最佳说唱表演”奖项的提名。它是一首直白坦率的歌曲，埃米纳姆以个人角度揭示了他的人生和内心深处的空虚抑郁与无助。与其说这是一首歌，还不如说这是埃米纳姆向倾听者的一个倾诉，因为他情愿和对方调换位置，相互体会各自心中的感受。都说埃米纳姆是个玩世不恭、逢人就骂的反社会歌手，不过如果仔细倾听歌词，当中流露出的真实情感与无奈总会让听者感到感慨和共鸣。

一起来欣赏。

歌曲过后，欢迎回来。《Beautiful》是流行旋律路线，自怨自艾并励志憧憬，其歌词性感，使听众直掉鸡皮疙瘩。歌曲代表埃米纳姆的完全回归，优美的旋律响起后，他开始评估自己的嘻哈歌手生涯，并且也希望别人能够理解他嘻哈世界之外的生活。
