含蓄有真挚，简单又动人。这首歌叫做《Thought You Should Know》，来自于美国乡村歌手Morgan Wallen。欢迎收听今天的《听歌学英语》，我是主播Canace-小C姐。为什么说这首歌简单又动人？You've been losing sleep since '93-自打1993年我出生以来你就没睡过一夜好觉。这首歌是送给母亲的一首歌。无论我们长到多大，在父母的眼中我们永远都是孩子，而妈妈们似乎一直都很擅长用谎言保护着他们的儿女。比如餐桌上剩下最后一只虾，我夹给妈妈，她会说“你吃，我不喜欢吃”。你还听过哪些妈妈的谎言呢？其实妈妈们的谎言充满爱意，关乎思念。世上常人都有喜怒哀乐，都知疲劳辛苦，而妈妈之所以没有，只不过她在骗你她没有而已。Thought You Should Know——歌名翻译过来是“我想你应该知道”。我们长大了，希望妈妈能知道我们可以照顾好自己，也希望天下所有的妈妈们可以少一些操心，少一些白发，多一些快乐，多一丝欣慰。
