【听歌练听力 】If (Bread song)

"If" is a soft rock song written by American singer-songwriter David Gates in 1971, from the albun Manna. Originally popularized by his group Bread, "If" charted at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 when released as a single in 1971. It also spent three weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Easy Listening chart.

"If"是一首美国Bread(面包合唱团)在1971年《MANNA》专辑里的歌，是当时排行榜连续几周的冠军歌曲。委婉深情的曲调与清丽的木吉他淡淡地揉和在一起，如一股恬静的清泉，洗去每位听者内心的浮躁，让迷离的夜平添几分极至的宁静与安详。

If a picture paints a thousand    1   
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to    2   
If a face could    3   a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one    4   but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is   5    dry
You come and   6    yourself on me
If a man could be two    7   at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving   8    slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was   9   
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would   10    fly away

 

夹带一个私货，是我和歌友合唱的该曲

（先唱的是歌友）

出题没经验，请大家包涵。周三愉快！

谢谢丽丽主持听歌练听力。感谢友情支持美坛活动！：））

WOW!，还有丽丽自己的翻唱！先点赞，再来欣赏～～

谢谢盈盈版主的邀约，非常开心来这里玩！

唱坛版主，名不虚传！清丽，空灵，有原唱的灵魂。非常喜欢～～

开心丽丽来玩！常来玩～～ ：））

好听，种草了。合唱的歌友似乎也熟悉：））

哈哈哈，第一句不用听，a proverb.

象美景吗？

Nice song! clear and very relaxed.

But I did listen the 2nd time for the 6th word:

words, know, launch, home, running, pour, places, spinning, through, simply

 

3. 'lift' came to mind first.

谢谢盈盈的果酱！唱得很开心是真的：D

是全民里的歌友，我们叫她珠珠^_^

花帅知道的就是多，你的APAD我可是学了不少：D

我也是唱了才知道这首歌还挺有名的。

好听！翻唱和谐！交作业：

If a picture paints a thousand    1 words  
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to    2  know 
If a face could    3 launch  a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one    4 home but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is   5   running dry
You come and   6 pour   yourself on me
If a man could be two    7 places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving   8 spinning   slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was   9  through 
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would   10 simply   fly away

很有动感的一个词。

绝对难不倒你^_^

去听第三个填空，非常漂亮的典故proverb～下次你的APAD就有素材了：）

我是听了你贴的两个版本才都听出来的～

记得听过你的版本，再赞！谢谢丽丽分享！交作业：）

Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to    know   
If a face could    launch   a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one    home   but you

If the world should stop revolving   spinning    slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was   through   
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would   simply    fly away

谢谢康康参与！听歌学习两不误：D

虫虫好！开心看到你：D

你和歌友唱的也灰常好听，清澈暖心，只是和原唱的音伴不同。

开心看到你主持这个节目， hugs 我们这里下雨没电。手机上网回帖好麻烦，不习惯：）

我无意中把两个都打开了，然后再有意地sync起来，也很好玩儿耶！

One more chance：）

好喜欢的歌，丽丽唱得太动听了，冒泡强赞！

哈哈还可以这样玩，我也要试试^_^

手机操作不方便，趁停电休息一下，hug！

哇好开心这里看到云霞姐姐，你和歌友的合唱作品总是令人印象深刻！

交作业

Words/know/launch/around/running/boil/places/swimming/through/cheerly

第三空听出来，赞！可以再听几遍，想象你要写歌词，空白处会写什么会和上下文能联系起来：）

我对英文在文学上的语言基本一窍不通，只会功能性语言。要学习！

哇，翻唱得太好了，听着是一种享受

同赞第三空！一起学习：）））

谢谢神犬，好ID名^_^

哈哈，没错！

工作够用，生活够用，就行！功能性英文，没毛病。除非是ABC或者英文专业，海外华人的英文其实都差不多。多练习就好。：）

同意。多来美坛玩。我以前判断ABC的一个标准是他们会用idiom和proverbs，现在美坛牛人们比ABC还ABC：）

又听了一下，作了改动，第九个实在不太确定

Words/know/launch/home/running/boil/places/swimming/blue/simply

第九个你原来的对啊～其实我也不太确定，但是找不到更合适的了～

从意义上来说，原来是对的，但是发音实在不像，所以只好换了一个更像一点的，意思不太明确，所以困惑。

Th的发音注意咬舌头：

又听了一下，确实是原来的发音更像些。

Words/know/launch/home/running/boil/places/swimming/through/simply

~~~谢谢大家写作业，正确答案见内~~~

1) words 2) know 3) launch 4) home 5) running 6) pour 7) places 8) spinning 9) through 10) simply

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
