華南師范大學(xué)外文學(xué)院英語(yǔ)系04級(jí)學(xué)生。喜歡英文，喜歡聽(tīng)英文歌曲，一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學(xué)到課文里學(xué)不到的知識(shí)，更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動(dòng)人的旋律，找到每首歌的觸動(dòng)點(diǎn)，理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽(tīng)歌還喜歡看看書(shū)，聽(tīng)歌讓我覺(jué)得享受，看書(shū)讓我覺(jué)得充實(shí)。
我聽(tīng)之我見(jiàn)：原來(lái)我對(duì)于Eric Clapton 的認(rèn)識(shí)和大多數(shù)中國(guó)人一樣，只停留在他獲得格萊美獎(jiǎng)的三首作品“Tears in heaven”、“Change the world”和“My father's eye”。當(dāng)看了“Friends”第6季，Chandler和Monica在浪漫共舞, Eric Clapton悠悠地在耳邊唱著“Wonderful tonight”，我對(duì)這首歌的愛(ài)油然而生。如果說(shuō)，生活中美好的東西讓我們向往讓我們感動(dòng)，那這美好就是……
Lyrics
Wonderful tonight byEric Clapton
It's late in the evening
She is wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight."
