今天的歌曲是一首跟失眠有关的歌,前奏有些像时钟的滴答滴答声,名字叫做“Counting Sheep”。欢迎来到今天的《听歌学英语》,我是主播Canace,你可以叫我小C。说到数羊,你觉得它对睡眠有帮助吗?在英语中,睡觉(sleep)和绵羊(sheep)的发音很相似,数羊(counting sheep)的时候,不断重复sheep有在潜意识里暗示睡觉的作用。那顺带说到一个小小的英语只是。Sheep是单复数同形的名词,也就是说,不管一只羊,两只羊,还是一百只羊,在英语里通通都是one sheep,two sheep,和one hundred sheep。我们中国人数水饺可能比数羊更好,因为水饺谐音是“睡觉”,数着一个水饺、两个水饺、三个水饺,就暗示自己要水饺,不过也有可能数着数着饿了。不多说了,赶紧来听歌,听完节目,早点睡觉吧~~
Never make a sound

Fingers crossed I shut my mouth
双手紧握 紧闭嘴巴
Thoughts they're creeping through my teeth

Drip, drop, the night is loud

Silence seems to drown me out
寂静快要把我淹没
Box my thoughts and give me some relief
禁锢我的烦恼 好让我喘口气
I wanna let you down
恐怕是我让你有失所望
Make you toss and turn around
让你辗转反侧 不得安眠
Won't you give me what I need
你又可否给我欲求之物
I wanna let you down
