再别康桥
徐志摩
轻轻的我走了，
正如我轻轻的来；
我轻轻的招手，
作别西边的云彩。
……
……
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄地来；
我挥一挥衣袖，
不带走一片云彩。
青花瓷
词-方文山
……
天青色等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽
你眼带笑意
……
帘外芭蕉惹骤雨
门环惹铜绿
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
在泼墨山水画里 你从墨色深处被隐去
Rhythm of the Falling Rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I’ve been. I wish that I would go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again.
The only girl I care about has gone away, Looking for a brand new start. But little does she know that when she left that day, Along with her she took my heart. Rain please tell me now, does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she doesn’t care? I can’t love another when my heart’s somewhere far away.
Rain, won’t you tell her that I love her so? Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow. Rain in her heart and let the love we knew Start to grow Oh, listen to the falling rai
Some classic English songs
Yesterday once more
My heart will go on
Big big world
As long as you love me
Cry on my shoulder

Poem A
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire,
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.
Our first football match
We would have won…
if Jack had just scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!

Everywhere round me the singing of birds,
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

夜来风雨声，花落知多少．

Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of my home.

床前明月光，
疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，
低头思故乡。
