听歌学英语|威瑟乐队《Pork and Beans》


    今天言老师为你带来的依然是一首老歌,来自Weezer威瑟乐队的这首《Pork and Beans》猪肉与豆子,可以说这首歌是我整个中学时代关于抖腿的独家记忆。对于Weezer乐队的名字可能很多听众朋友们不太了解,这支乐队在90年代成立于美国洛杉矶,在批评家和拥护者的眼里,他们是一支标准的流行朋克乐队,Weezer没有帅气的外型,更没有什么偏激的言行举止,四位成员看上去都有一些nerdy humour的感觉,他们的作品在幽默中掺入了晦暗、诡异的元素,时常叫人啼笑皆非。
    
    Weezer也不是一支高产的乐队,成立十三年只发表了五张专辑,总共只有55首歌,但这些歌曲却因为永久动听的旋律和无比睿智的歌词而被人们广为传唱。
    Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts
    Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art
    Imma do the things that I wanna do
    I ain’t got a thing to prove to you
    I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans
    Excuse my manners if I make a scene
    I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like
    I’m fine and dandy with the me inside
    One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink
    I don’t give a hoot about what you think
    No, I don’t care
    说到这首歌本身呢,也是一首每次歌单大换血都舍不得换掉的歌,诙谐的歌词透露出一种玩世不恭却特立独行的味道,鼓励我们不要在意世俗的眼光,要做自己喜欢做的事情,接受内心的自己。顺便说一句,它的MV相当值得一看~
    Everyone likes to dance to a happy song, With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along
    每个人都喜欢跟着欢快的音乐跳舞 最好还能有个很好上口的副歌一起唱歌中的这句歌词最能表达此刻的感觉了,只想跟着它略带一丝诙谐和搞怪的旋律抖起来!
    They say I need some Rogaine to put in my hair
    Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear
    Oakley makes the shades to transform a tool
    You’d hate for the kids to think that you’ve lost your cool
    Imma do the things that I wanna do
    I ain’t got a thing to prove to you
    I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans
    Excuse my manners if I make a scene
    I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like
    I’m fine and dandy with the me inside
    One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink
    I don’t give a hoot about what you think
    (Everyone likes to dance to a happy song)
    好,欣赏了歌曲,接下来我们看看歌词中有哪些值得注意的词语吧~
    在这首歌当中出现了很多处美式英语日常生活中常用的非正式口语形式,由于美式英语语速很快,常常会出现吞音或者变音的现象,于是就出现了一些根据快速发音来拼写的单词,比如Imma,gonna,wanna,gotta,ain’t,那喜欢看美剧和美国电影的同学们可能会比较熟悉一点,Imma等于I’m going to或者I’m gonna,我将要去做某事,比如Imma do it myself,也就是I’m going to do it myself。那这一句也正好解释了gonna的用法,它在口语中相当于going to,所以I’m going to do it myself这句话比较随意的说法就是I’m gonna do it myself。同样的,这样用法的词还有很多,wanna表示want to,gotta表示have got to,gimme等于give me,kinda等于kind of,oughta等于ought to。下次大家在看美剧的时候不妨注意一下这些表达方式,在生活当中运用起来的话会使你的口语更加地道哟~
