经典英文歌曲欣赏 As Long As You Love Me

reader

　　

    Although loneliness has alwaysbeen a friend of mine　
　　I'm leaving my life in your hands　
　　People say I'm crazy and that I am blind　
　　Risking it all in a glance　
　　How you got me blind is still a mystery　
　　I can't get you out of my head　
　　Don't care what is written in you history　
　　As long as you're here with me　
　　I don't care who you are　
　　Where you're from　
　　What you did　
　　As long as you love me　
　　Who you are　
    Where you're from　
　　Don't care what you did　
　　As long as you love me　
　　Every little thing that you have said and done　
    Feels like it's deep within me　
　　Doesn't really matter if you're on the run　
　　It seems like we're meant to be　
　　I've tried to hide it　
　　So that no one knows　
　　But I guess it shows　
　　When you look in to my eyes　
　　What you did　
　　And where you're coming from　
　　I don't care, as long as you love me.

歌手介绍

　　Backstreet boys are recognised as the biggest pop group in the world of music today having dominated the charts throughout the world since 1996. In just four years Backstreet Boys , Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson, have accomplished this global domination by achieving Gold and Platinum awards in 45 countries, including 11-times platinum in the USA for their debut album "Backstreet's Back" and have sold over 51 million albums world-wide. The group have recently been hailed as one of the fastest selling acts in South East Asia where the album "Millennium" sold in excess of three million copies.

　　Backstreet Boys have been honoured with numerous awards and these have included four Billboard Music Awards, five Grammy nominations, three World Music Awards, an MTV Europe Award as well as two American MTV Award nominations. So how did five boys from America rise to the top so fast?

　　Backstreet Boys' story began in Orlando, Florida. It was there that high school students A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough and junior high student Nick Carter began to run into each other at local acting auditions. The three became friends and formed a singing group. The trio then decided to expand. Kevin Richardson was the next to join the group, and soon Brian completed the fivesome. They quickly became one of Florida's hottest live acts and were signed immediately.

　　"Millennium" was released in May 1999 and included the hit single "I Want It That Way". This album confirmed the group's status as one of the world's biggest pop acts ever. Backstreet Boys' success is set to continue with the release of their fourth album "Black & Blue" in November, 2000. The group members have taken a lead role in the writing and producing of the 14-track album which covers a broad spectrum of musical styles.


　　五个才华洋溢的少年，不仅舞跳得好、长相俊美、更重要的是他们个个是充满音乐天分的奇才。1994年初成军时仍只是初生之犊不畏虎的小毛头，一年之后，他们已跃登世界舞台，成为众所瞩目的新偶像，他们就是——“后街男孩”！

　　“后街男孩”的五个成员中，Kevin和Brian是生长在肯塔基州的表兄弟，来自深受音乐及宗教影响的家庭，从小即在教堂圣乐和唱诗班的熏陶下长大，因此练就了一流的灵魂乐合音式唱腔。另外的三名成员，A.J、Howie、Nick则来自奥兰多。这三个人原本分别活跃于演艺界，演过音乐剧；拍过电影、电视、广告。五个满怀理想的少年组成一个以优美合音见长的乐团， “后街男孩”于是诞生！

　　他们的首支单曲“We've Got It Goin' On”展现了男孩们活力四射的青春气息，在欧洲取得不俗成绩，在奥地利、瑞士、荷兰、法国等均有打入十名内的嘉绩。接下来的“I'll Never Break Your Heart”是首抒情曲，成功地为他们打开了欧洲的知名度。

　　这五个能歌善舞的后街男孩，带着阳光般的笑容，征服全球。首张专辑已获得了四白金，更在舞曲王国的德国、瑞士蝉联冠军。

歌词讲解

　　

　　1. as long as，是一个连词短语，表示“以...为条件，如果”。例如：I will cooperate as long as I am notified on time. 只要及时告诉我，我就会合作。还有另外一个意思，既然，跟since差不多，比如说篈s long as you've offered, I accept. 既然你已给我，我就接受。

　　2. although或者though在做为连词的时候，都表示“虽然，尽管”，但一定要注意不要和but连用，因为在汉语中有虽然...但是...这个表达方法，所以很多人都容易弄混。但是though还可以作为副词，表示“然而，可是，不过”，在口语当中though经常被放在句子的后面，比如：It's hard work, I enjoy it, though. 这是件艰难的工作, 可是我还是喜欢它。

　　3. risk, 冒险，风险，比较常用的短语就是take the risk (of/in doing something)。例如：He took a risk when he crossed the old bridge. 他冒险过这座旧桥。They took a risk in driving on, notwithstanding the storm. 尽管有暴风雨,他们还是冒险驾车赶路。risk还可以做动词，表示“冒...风险”。例如歌词中的risk it all，冒着很大的风险。例如： He risked his life when he saved the child from the fire. 他冒着生命危险把孩子从火中救出。还有一个短语也常用，就是be at risk, 有危险，例如：His life is at risk.他有生命危险。

　　4. in a glance，一眨眼，立即，比喻行动很快。大家都知道glance有“一瞥, 匆匆一看” 的意思，既可以做动词，也能做名词。例如：She glance at the menu. 她粗略地看了一下菜单。I gave her a glance. 我看了她一眼。at a glance表示“看一眼；马上”。He saw at a glance that she was coming. 他一眼就看到她来了。at first glance这个词组表示“最初，乍一看”，例如：At first glance the plan seemed unworkable.乍一看这个计划好象不可行。

　　5. get you out of my head 也可以说get you out of my mind，get out of something，逃避；避免；摆脱She tried to get out of helping her mother. 她尽量逃避帮她妈妈干活。It's hard to get out of an old habit. 旧习惯很难改掉。

　　6. what is written in you history，你的历史记录了什么，也就是你的过去。history这个词有“往事，过去的事”的意思，例如：Their troubles are history now. 他们的麻烦已经过去了。还表示“一段有趣的过去”如：They live in a house with a history. 他们住的房子有一段有趣的历史。history还可以表示“经历”，例如：She told me her life history. 她告诉我她一生的经历。还有一个关于history的谚语，History repeats itself. 历史往往重演。

　　7. feels like it's deep within me 省略的主语 it, 代替前面的 every little thing。

　　8. on the run，逃走；躲藏；匆匆忙忙。He's always on the run. 他总是匆匆忙忙的。
