解说:
今天我们要欣赏的是来自迪斯尼2014动画《冰雪奇缘》的一首主题曲《LET IT GO》。
相信很多听众都去了电影院看了动画片,对主角ELSA唱的这首歌也留下了深刻印象。
歌曲由伊蒂娜·门泽尔演唱,她曾近在《GLEE》出演,有着一副令人过目难忘的嗓子,下面让我们一起来聆听冰雪女王的心声吧。
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolationand it looks like I’m the Queen
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
白雪发亮铺满我的过往
glow发光,发亮。也可以做名词,
比如:he soft glow of the lamps.
柔和的灯光。
Not a footprint to be seen
没有留下任何足迹
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the Queen
这是一个与世隔绝的王国,我是这里的女皇
isolation 隔离, 与世隔绝。是动词isolate的名词形式。Isolate既可以做动词又可以做名词。Do not isolate yourself from others.不要把自己孤立起来。这里就是做动词形式。
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I’ve tried
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
漫天飞霜正如我内心风暴一样
howl做动词的意思是嚎叫、吼叫,howling是则是形容词,
例如a howling wind.怒号的风。a howling wilderness.凄凉的荒原
swirl的意思是漩涡;打旋;swirling storm的意思是打旋的暴雪,大家可以想象一下这样像漩涡一样的雪风暴。
Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I’ve tried
再也控制不住,只有天知道我尽了全力
Couldn’t keep it in中的keep in 意思是隐藏,抑制;女主人公Elsa在这时候决定不再抑制自己的魔法,任其释放。
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them knowWell, now they know
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
不让别人进来看见
let in 我们在《somewhere only we know》中讲过,大家还记得吗?
Let in 可以理解为接受,但是在这里,Elsa不想让大家进入城堡发现她的魔法,所以是不让他们进来
Be the good girl you always have to be
做个好女孩,就像以前一样
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
藏起自己,拒绝感受,别让他们知道
Well, now they know
但现在已经众人皆知
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
Let it go 随他吧
Can’t hold it back anymore
我再也藏不住了
hold back的意思是退缩;抑制。大家还记得吗?
Turn away and slam the door
转身离去甩上门,一转身不再牵挂
turn away,走开,转过脸,离开。turn sb away: 拒某人于门外
slam的意思是砰地关上(门或窗),关门可以直接用slam the door。
不过扣篮也可以用这个单词哦,slam dunk就是扣篮的意思,这也是漫画《灌篮高手》的英语名字。

spiral的意思是螺旋;旋涡;spiraling的意思就是adj. 盘旋的;螺旋形的,和之前的swirling意思很接近。

And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast
