月亮傑克的英文學習札記

今天是火星與地球大接近的日子，下次要再這麼靠近，要再等二百八十四年。今天火星與地球距離最近，觀測到的亮度也最亮。所以大家別忘了晚上去看看哦～

很高興看到Becky報友給月亮傑克評鑑，談到利用唱歌學習的事情。我想除了課堂上的英文之外，還是有很多快樂學英文的方式。

月亮傑克平常喜歡看HBO之類的電影頻道來訓來聽力，Discovery, National Geographic 也是很棒。但是，閱讀還是很重要。閱讀是一種輸入，輸入的動作要常做，反覆做，定期做。要輸出的時候，才能發揮良好。

這期又是英文歌曲，我想如果有人願意的話可以找一些愛唱歌的朋友上yahoo即時通來唱個痛快算了，限英文歌喔！ ^O^

Flying Without Wings

[Shane:]
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

[Mark:]
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

[Shane:]
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

[Mark:]
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

[Shane:]
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends

[Mark:]
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

這首歌的歌詞很棒，說到底，它也是一首情歌。但是，它是一首很有意境的情歌，沒有很明白的說出情與愛，卻能帶給所傾吐的對象無限的感動。真是高段～

歌曲開頭先是敘述這個要表達愛意的人，他心中所認為心靈最高的感動，就在於 flying without wings 的境界中。而要達到這樣的境界是在一些小小的感動，真摯的情感裡頭。然後在轉而告訴對方說，他們之間的一些事情，都能帶給他這種 flying without wings 的境界。

有時候，要學好英文，也要學著去揣摩他們的思考模式，講出來的英文，才會道地，才會輪轉。譬如說：

• 我認為他不是賊：I don't think he is a thief. 而不是 I think he is not a thief.
• 你方便幫我寄信嗎？ Is it convenient for you to send the mail for me? 而不是Are you convenient.....

表達的方式是邏輯思考的表現，越是能熟悉人家的邏輯思考，相信你英文的表達也會越道地。
