2016年托福核心詞匯:《phantom of the opera》歌詞

字號:

推薦:phantom of the opera (musical)
    不僅僅包含GRE詞匯,而且給出了很多你以為很平常的詞匯的優(yōu)雅用法。作為一個本科出國黨,SAT在前1%, 詞匯很早就不是我們這一類的阻礙了。但是就像中文有寫作水平的區(qū)別一樣,你會背高級詞匯不算什么,你會用嗎?
    推薦音樂劇歌詞還有一個好處,即這些旋律都非常難忘。
    劃線部分是一些舉例。garish這個詞我在同學(xué)的GRE詞表里見過。tremulous可能是也可能不是。至于sharpens和abandon,這兩個詞很多人不知道背了多少遍。但是這樣的用法即使對寫作沒有助益,至少對你撩妹/漢也很有幫助啊。
    Music of the Night (Lyrics)
    Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
    Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
    Silently the senses abandon their defenses
    Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
    Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
    Turn your face away from the garish light of day
    Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
    And listen to the music of the night
    Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
    Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
    Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
    And you'll live as you've never lived before
    建議搜一搜25周年紀(jì)念表演,官方帶的subtitle應(yīng)該對一些人會有幫助。
    當(dāng)Christine摘下phantom面具的時候:
    Stranger than you dreamt it
    Can you even dare to look, or bear to think of me
    This loathesome gargoyle
    Who burns in hell, But secretly yearns for heaven
    Secretly, secretly...
    But Christine...
    Fear can turn to love
    You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster
    This repulsive carcass
    Who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty,
    Secretly, secretly...
    Oh, Christine...
    我個人覺得對于想掌握托福的人像這樣的密度就可以了。畢竟如果一首歌全是生詞,你也記憶不過來。這樣的場景記憶反倒容易在腦子里留下更深刻的印象。
    至于GRE單詞……很多詞匯不是拿來讓你在生活中用的。很多詞匯其實(shí)大家都知道,但是除了一部分特別老派的英國學(xué)者,當(dāng)代人哪怕是書面語都不會集中出現(xiàn)這些詞匯。不然的話就會好像你每天說話的時候,說小明這個人十分“顢頇”, 那個人唱歌“嘔啞嘲哳難為聽”。 如果真的想系統(tǒng)的復(fù)習(xí),還是買單詞書吧。
    的問題是……有些部分你自己唱出來可能有點(diǎn)費(fèi)勁。:)
