亲爱的朋友们，你们还好吗？欢迎来到《听歌学英语》，我是你们的老朋友Canace。你还记得我吗？"Fools Like Me"来自于Lisa Loeb。大多数乐迷接触到这位来自德州达拉斯的女创作歌手，都是从她于1993年为电影《四个毕业生》所创作的清新主题曲"Stay"开始的，而此曲也一鸣惊人的蝉联全美流行榜3周冠军，使得她成为第一个拥有全美冠军单曲的无约艺人。随后发行的首张专辑"Tails"以结合清新的民谣流行曲风与精练的抒情叙事手法广受乐迷喜爱，销售突破金唱片，更勇夺全英音乐奖最佳国际新进艺人奖以及获得葛莱美奖最佳流行重唱组合的提名。"Fools Like Me"像我一样的傻瓜，为何而傻呢？如果说爱情中的人都是盲目的，都是傻傻的，那么这首歌的感觉有点儿像初恋，歌词说爱情为傻瓜而存在，你觉得是这样吗？Fool Like Me"同样是一首小清新的歌曲，一起来欣赏吧!

Everybody go

The party's over

I want to be alone in my head

In my bed tonight

You never show

You must really love her

You think I don't know

But I do, yeah it's true

I think over is over

I'm right back where I started

(when it comes to wanting you)

I can't have what I wanted

But I did, I can

I was, I am

Only human, living, dying

Just like any fool who ever breathed

If love is blind

If love's a drug

It always is

It always was and

Love was surely made for fools like me

I know where I'm going

I'm tripping I'm sliding around

That's ok

At least I'm excited

It wasn't how I planned it (wasn't how I planned it

Feet are where I landed

At least I understand it now)

My feet are where I landed(feet are staying on the ground)

Maybe it's the sanest thing

Or just the sweetest kind of dream

But love was surely made for fools

(Love was surely made for fools)

Love was surely made for fools

(Love was surely made for fools)

Love was surely made for fools like me

If love is blind If love's a drug, it always is, it always was.

如果爱情是盲目的，如果爱是毒药它一直是，它曾一直是。

Blind: adj.盲目的；瞎的；未察觉的。

来学习几个与blind有关的短语。

1. a blind alley 死胡同，绝境

They tried one idea after another, but they all seemed blind alleys.

他们试了一个个办法,但看起来都行不通

2. be blind to 对…视而不见

Mothers are sometimes blind to the faults of their children.

母亲们有时看不到子女的缺点。

The girls were completely blind to the consequences of their actions.

女孩子们对于自己的行为所产生的后果完全不注意。

3. turn a blind eye to 假装看不见

You shouldn't really drink here, but I'm willing to turn my blind eye to it.

你实在不该在这儿喝酒,不过我愿意装作没看见。I know where I'm going. I'm tripping I'm sliding around.

我知道我要去哪，我要旅行我也游荡。

1. Trip最常见的意思当然就是歌词中的意思了，表示“旅行”。旅行分为pleasure trip和business trip。前者指“以游玩为目的的行程”；而后者business trip则表示“公务旅行，商务旅行”，或者说“出差”。比如：

The company sends me here on a business trip.

公司派我来这里出差。

2. Field trip指(学生)实地考察旅行。比如：

Where is your class going for a field trip?

你们班打算去哪里郊游?

3. return trip 回程

On our return trip, it rained heavily.

回程途中，天下起了瓢泼大雨。

来了解一下trip的其他意思，作为动词可以表示“摔倒；绊倒”。比如：

He tripped on a tree root. 他被一株树根绊倒了。

5. Trip还表示“轻快地走”。比如：

She came tripping down the garden path.

她轻快地沿花园小径跑过来。

6. 另外trip还可以表示“使犯错，使失言”。比如

The lawyer was trying to trip the witnesses up,ie make them contradict themselves.

那位律师竭力想让证人互相矛盾。

Maybe it's the sanest thing or just the sweetest kind of dream.

或许这就是最清醒的一刻或许至少最甜蜜的梦境。

1. Sane : adj.心智健全的；明智的。歌词中用的sane的最高级sanest。

Jim is not mad; he is as sane as any other normal person.

吉姆没有疯，他的神智跟任何其他正常人一样清醒。

2. 在sane前面加上in则成为了它的反义词—insane adj.疯狂的；精神错乱的；荒唐的

经典歌曲Right Here Waiting前两句：

Oceans apart, day after day, and I slowly go insane.

远隔重洋，日复一日，我一步步走向疯狂。

再比如：He must be insane to drive his car so fast. 他把车开得这么快，一定是疯了。

听这首歌的过程中，心情一直是愉悦的。音乐是个神奇的东西，它可以让你的心跳跟着音乐律动，心情跟着歌曲中的感情而起伏。而在做节目的过程中，如果能跟各位分享我的心情、或者你的故事，我都觉得我是幸福的。
