音乐类
的节目，深受大家欢迎。
边听好听的歌曲、边学英语，谁能不喜欢？

听的
英语歌

You get
two benefits
from one show: 一集节目，两个收获
Enjoy
beautiful weekend songs and
learn
English at the same time: 边享受好听的歌曲，边学英语
We want to make sure we choose songs
suitable
for learning: 我们给大家选了适合英语学习的歌
Some songs are not suitable, because the words are
mumbled
and can't be used in everyday situations: 不是所有歌都适合学习用途，比如有些歌词唱得很不清楚，或者歌词本身也不是日常使用的语言
The Lazy Song 赖床听的歌
A perfect weekend song from Bruno Mars: 是Bruno Mars一首特别好听的周末歌曲
The lazy song: 懒人的歌
I
don't feel like doing anything
on the weekend: 周末，我什么都不想做
Just wanna kick my feet up
: 抬腿、踢脚
Such a
relaxed position
: 很放松的姿势
"歌词"英语怎么说？
这两个说法都可以
却别是words这个说法比lyrics更口语
The lyrics to this song are very
simple
, but super
practical:
这些歌的歌词都简单，但非常实用
For example, words like "
lounging
", "
chilln
'", they are all different ways to say "
relax
": 比如"
lounging
", "
chilln
'"都是不同的表达“relax"的说法
For me, a good English song for learning should have lyrics that can be
used in everyday situations
: 对我来说，适合学英语的歌一定要有通用、实用的歌词
But many songs like R&B songs and rap songs are nice to listen to, but not the best for learning: 有些现在的R&B, rap歌就没法用来学英语
We hope the songs we chose today are great to listen to and have great
learning value
: 希望今天选的歌大家都觉得好听，又有学习价值
The Lazy Song
Today I don't feel like doin' anything
I just wanna
lay in my bed
don't feel like picking up my phone
so leave a message at the tone
cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
I'm gonna
kick my feet up
and stare at the fan
...

countrymen
Michael
Bublé: 是你的加拿大同胞
Michael
Bublé唱的
Something Stupid
I know I‘d stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid Like I love you
...
Each time I listen to this song, I don't want it to end. It's so beautiful: 我每次听这首歌，都不想让它停
