 英文歌曲/中文译文： 

省流量收听 音频

I know that you’re hiding things

我知道你有太多隐瞒

Using gentle words to shelter me

用蜜语甜言掩饰真相

Your words were like a dream

海誓山盟如风似梦

But dreams could never fool me

可我怎会迷醉其中

Not that easily

轻言相信

I acted so distant then

我那般冷漠

Didn’t say goodbye before you left

不曾道句，珍重再见

But I was listening

我静静倾听

You’ll fight your battles far from me

你将离开，千里之外

Far too easily

相见无期

Save your tears cause I’ll come back

不要流泪，等我归来

I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door

你在耳畔低语，转身天涯

But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages

但我发誓，相忆无悲

Shouting might have been the answer

也许我该嘶声呐喊

What if I’d cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart

若哭泣挽留你不要离开

But now I’m not afraid to say what’s in my heart

而今终于无畏真情袒露

Though a thousand words have never been spoken

万语千言，欲诉无言

They’ll fly to you

愿心有灵犀你能听到

Crossing over the time and distance holding you

爱穿越时空紧紧拥抱

Suspended on silver wings

情系银翼翩飞

And a thousand words one thousand confessions

万语千言，无数告白

Will cradle you

沉醉其间

Making all of the pain you feel seem far away

带你逃离痛苦深渊

They’ll hold you forever, the dream isn’t over yet

相拥在永恒的云端

Though I often say I can’t forget

梦在延续，回忆不死

I still relive in that day

永远活在离别之际

You’ve been there with me all the way. I still hear you say

犹记你说永不离弃

Wait for me I’ll write you letters

安心等候，等我来信

I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor

你目光低垂，在我耳畔呢喃

But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages

但我发誓，相忆无虑

Anger might have been the answer

也许我该燃起愤怒

What if I’d hung my head and said that I couldn’t wait

也许该说等待太难

But now I’m strong enough to know it’s not too late

而今才觉一切不晚

 精彩之处：

1. gentle words to shelter me: gentle wors 常用于表示“甜言蜜语”，shelter 与上句中hide things 相照应，即“隐瞒真相，不希望带给对方伤害”。

2. so distant: 指态度异常冷漠，将近在咫尺的爱人变得遥不可及。

3. turn back the pages: 意为”回忆过去”，记忆如册，历历在目。

 词汇注释：

1. shelter: v.保护

2. swear: v.发誓

3. confession: n.告白

4. stammer: v.结结巴巴地说

 地道发音：

1. But dreams could never fool me:歌词中but和could末尾辅音[t]和[d]后都与辅音相邻,所以失去爆破,可略读。

2. What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart:在自然流利的谈话中,为了说话省力,经常把一些音省掉。某单词字尾是辅音,而相邻后面的单词开头也是辅音,这时我们应把字尾辅音略去不读。这句歌词中I'd中[d]、cried中[d]、and中[d]以及not中[t]都可略读,略读符合地道发音省力原则.

3. They'll hold you forever:歌中 hold you为辅音d与[j]相邻,被同化为[dʒ]

4. 歌词中 depart和heart,yet和 forget,day和say,以及late和wait两两押韵,读来朗朗上口。
