英文歌是個不錯的英語學習渠道 暑假快要完結。有家長Cindy問筆者，為何記英文字詞愈記愈差，完全記不入腦。 因為大多數人只會望筆記一至兩次（輸入），在心理學入面，輸入與輸出是同樣重要。 筆者提議以聽歌保持自己輕快的心情，是一個不錯的選擇。 以下與讀者分享及推介的四首歌，不妨也學習一下當中的英語重點。 1. Ed Sheeran《Shivers》 歌名《Shivers》應該會引起一些疑問，甚麼是shiver呢？ Shiver的解釋是因寒冷、疾病或恐懼而致身體輕微顫抖，發抖。 例如：「He shivered with cold in his thin cotton shirt.」（他只穿著薄薄的棉布襯衫，凍得瑟縮發抖。） 另外，歌詞中有一句「On the backseat in the moonlit dark」，「Moonlit」的意思是月光照耀下而看到的景象，是不是很有畫面呢？ 2. Adele《Easy On Me》 筆者想解釋一下歌名《Easy On Me》，中譯可以是「手下留情」、「對我好一點」。 這對應Adele走過離婚的日子。 「There ain’t no room for things to change.」筆者留意到這句歌詞的ain’t，所以想帶來一個少少的文法教室。 Ain’t = am not、is not、are not、has not或have not的縮寫形式，這是一個比較口語的用法。 「I had good intentions」，intention解作意圖、打算。 例子：「She simply slipped my mind; it wasn’t my intention to leave her off the list.」（我只是一時忘記了她；我無意將她排除在名單之外。） 3. Charlie Puth《Left And Right》 這首歌邀請了南韓人氣男團BTS隊員Jung Kook一同拍攝。 這首歌講述的是被愛人甩掉、自己悲痛萬分的故事，而過去兩人的回憶，仍深深烙印在自己的腦海中揮之不去。 LEFT及RIGHT解作揮之不去 「Memories follow me left and right.」（屬於我倆的回憶總伴我左右）； Left及right看似是普通的左邊、右邊的意思，但更深一層的意思在於揮之不去，因為兩人的回憶就在我身邊。 「Your love stays with me day and night.」（你的愛伴我度過日日夜夜），沒想過簡單的day and night已經有這個效果。 「The nights we were tangled up in your bed.」（我們在你床上纏綿的那些夜晚）； 「You take up every corner of my mind.」（你佔據了我腦海所有角落）是不是很有感覺呢？ 4. Coldplay X Selena Gomez《Let Somebody Go》 這是六個月前推出的歌曲，這首歌曲感覺非常特別； 加上MV採用黑白色，感覺就更加難以形容，其中有幾句很想與讀者分享。 「We talked around in circles.」（我們兜著圈說話）； 「You gave everything this golden glows.」（你為所有事物增添光芒）； 「You could turn my sorrow into a songs.」（你可以把我的悲傷化成歌。） 其中筆者想講解一下sorrow： Sorrow解作悲痛。「The sorrows of his earlier years gave way to joy in later life.」（他早年歷經坎坷，晚年卻快樂無憂。） 希望讀者聽英文歌時，不要只聽旋律，因為這樣會錯過很多上述的寶藏，有時候慢慢消化歌詞都是一種樂趣。 如果大家有什麼英文問題，如Spencer Lam, 好唔好咁樣學英文呀? 或者IELTS考試，成人英文/商業英文的知識及英文資源，歡迎你可以隨時再跟我多交流一下，可以Follow 「Spencer Lam English Team」 Facebook page同IG得到更多英文資訊，亦都可以上 https://spencerlam.hk/ 了解更多!
