肖恩：春天，因?yàn)樘鞖夂芘?，同時又不會像夏天那么熱。春天稍微涼爽些。你可以悠閑地四處轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)。這非常好。春天把所有季節(jié)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)集合起來了。
Todd: OK. what's your favorite movie?
托德：好的。那你最喜歡的電影是什么？
Shawn: My favorite movie! I'd have to say "Gladiator." Russel Crow. It's a tragic movie about a very strong leader who, how-should-I-say, triumphs over, how-should-I-say, over very overpowering conflicts. It's, um, plus, I'm a bit of an action movie buff. I know it's sad to hear but, it's definitely an interesting movie.
肖恩：我最喜歡的電影！那一定是《角斗士》了。拉塞爾·克勞主演的。那部電影講述了一名強(qiáng)大領(lǐng)袖的悲劇，要怎么說呢，他戰(zhàn)勝了強(qiáng)大的對手。嗯，另外，我熱衷于動作電影。我知道這聽起來很悲傷，不過那絕對是一部有意思的電影。重點(diǎn)講解：

我不覺得我一開始就特意為每張專輯設(shè)定了不同的曲風(fēng)。然而，我確實(shí)知道當(dāng)時想要的是什么感覺。
3. triumph over
