[歌手简介]

  Jim, Sharon, Caroline and Andrea Corr grew up together with their parents, Jean and Gerry Corr, in Dundalk which is situated in Ireland's beautiful County Louth. The band describes the town as a place where 'everyone knows everyone.' The band grew up surrounded by music, and that is where their love for music began. With their parents playing in a local band, the young Corrs were basically living in a house of music.

  So it was no surprise at all that music was running through the siblings' veins from a very early age. Inspiration and encouragement of their parents led the teenage-music buffs to start their own band. They played out of Jim's room, with the young girls practicing harmonies and what-not on vocals. As Sharron fiddled, Andrea would write lyrics, leaving the keyboarding to Caroline and Jim. The band began to develop a new sound in music, and kept on practicing. They got their big break on an audition for a screenplay of a novel, and all 4 of them were casted. The band began playing tons of live shows all over the town, to get some live experience, in local bars and small clubs.

  The band played their first official show in 1993 at the Whealans Music Bar. The band played a stellar show, and were asked to play a gig in Boston for the 1994 World Cup Celebration. The band accepted, and extended their trip to include a visit to New York City. After their gig in New York the band camped outside the Hit Factory in attempts to meet producer David Foster. The band and Jim Hughes managed to get through security while producing Michael Jackson's latest album, and then Hughes persuaded Foster to meet and listen to the band. He gave the band an audition, and they played their hearts out. It worked, because the producer was very impressed with the talent this band posessed.

  The producer agreed to work on their first full-length album with them. The band signed a record deal the next day, and then spent the next 6 months in Malibu recording the album. Their debut release "Forgiven not Forgotten" was a huge success internationally. The album went platinum eight times in Australia and nine times platinum in Ireland. With an ever-growing fanbase, the band was on their way to stardorm. The band released their second album "Talk on Corners" in 1997, and the album was a huge success globally. The band toured all over the world, and promoted their second release. The band's music has meaning and depth and reflects all that both Ireland and Irish music stand for. We can say that The Corrs are one of the biggest and most-selling international artists of all time.

  尽管可儿家族在国际乐坛上已树立起成功的标志,他们的根依然深植于爱尔兰。生长在爱尔兰边境小镇Dundalk亲情浓厚的家庭中,他们从很小的年纪就开始学习演奏乐器。1990年当Caroline和Andrea还在学校念书时,他们就参与了导演Alan Parker电影《追梦者》的演出。最初他们也固定在都柏林各地表演。1995年他们首度前往美国,在Michael Jackson的选歌会议上接触了唱片生涯中的贵人─知名唱片制作人David Foster,并且主动要求在他面前现场表演。大卫佛斯特对他们的印象非常深刻,很快地就同意为他们的首张专辑《原谅却未遗忘》Forgiven not Forgotten担任制作。

  这张专辑1996年发行,在加拿大、爱尔兰、澳洲、西班牙、新西兰、丹麦等地惊人地拿下多白金唱片成绩,全世界其它国家也几乎全面都有金唱片优异成果。他们的第二张专辑《街角闲谈》Talk on Corners在1997年推出,成为1998年度最畅销的英国专辑。另一方面,他们的前两张专辑更创下相同于甲壳虫乐队的历史纪录,在英国金榜上同时占据第一、二名的位置。《街角闲谈》最后刷新纪录,取得在22个国家拿下多白金唱片,以及在其它少数国家得到金唱片的佳绩。

  第三张专辑《天天天蓝》则是在2000年发行。专辑一面世即迅速地再度创下如同先前专辑一样的白金唱片辉煌成绩。集结了过去这些年在唱片上的成就,可儿家族而后即发行了首张精选辑《可儿最精选》(Best Of The Corrs),收录了历年畅销单曲如So Young、Runaway、Dreams、What Can I Do、Breathless和Give Me A Reason等脍炙人口的佳作。

  现在可儿家族又推出了全新专辑《借来的天堂》(Borrowed Heaven),乐队的主唱Andrea说,“我认为这是我们做的最好的一张专辑,里面涵盖了不可思议多样化的风格和情境,整体来说我真的觉得非常顺畅。”可儿家族合唱团在全球销售已累积超过3千万张唱片,但《借来的天堂》的音乐表现让他们更超越了过去的成就。

[歌词讲解]

  1.fade这个词表示“(声音、光线、颜色等)逐渐消失,褪去”,一定要注意是逐渐消失,而不是突然一下就消失了。例如:The lights and music faded as we set sail from the harbor. 当我们从海港起航时,岸上的灯光逐渐变暗,音乐声渐渐听不见了。The color in this silk material will not fade. 这种绸布料子不会褪色。那我们就可以理解了,The daylight's fading slowly就是指“日光逐渐消失”,也就是指“夜晚来临”。现在我们再把fade这个词的词义引申一下,fade还可以表示“凋谢失去新鲜;枯萎”,例如:Those summer flowers have faded.那些在夏天开放的花已经枯萎了。那么既然是逐渐消失,我们还会想到“衰退,失去精力或活力;逐渐衰弱”,例如:Time has faded her beauty. 时间使青春活力消失。All memory of the past has faded. 往日的记忆已成云烟。

  2. but time with you is standing still,这里又省略了一些东西, time with you ,补充完整就是the time I was with you,也就是the time we spent together,表示“我们在一起的时候”,still这里做状语,表示“静止地,不动地”,比如:Sit still when I comb your hair. 我给你梳头的时候坐好,别动。现在我们把这个句子的主干拿出来,就是the time is standing still,字面意思是“时间站着不走”,很明显这是一个拟人修辞手法了,也就是说“我还记得我们在一起的分分秒秒”。

  3. only放在了句子后面,是为了歌词押韵。一般only做状语的时候在口语中的位置不固定,可以用重音来表明所修饰的词语。例如:I only saw 'Sarah. 我只看见了Sarah,也就是说没有看见别人。I only 'saw Sarah. 我只是看见了Sarah,但是并没有跟她说话。大家在平时说话的时候要多注意重音的位置了,不同的重音位置表达的意义是不同得。关于only还有一些习惯用法要跟大家介绍一些:

  1) only too 这个习惯用语表示“很,非常”,根very差不多,例如:That's only too true. 我看这事是真的。言外之意呢就是“说话者但愿这件事不是真的。再举个例子 I shall be only too pleased to get home.一想到回家我就会很高兴。

  2)only just这个习惯用语表示“刚刚好”,例如:I've only just moved to New York.我刚刚搬到纽约来。还可以表示“差一点,几乎没有...”例如:He only just caught the train.他差点就没赶上火车。I've got enough milk for the coffee - but only just.我的牛奶刚刚够喝咖啡用的。

  3)only to do something,表示“反而,却”,用来指随即就要发生的事,尤其指那些让人惊讶,失望,或放心的事情,例如:I got home only to find I'd left all my keys at the office. 我到家了才发现钥匙落在办公室了。

  4)最后还有一句谚语,You're only young once。青春只有一次。例如:Enjoy the disco-you're only young once. 人的青春只有一次,尽情地跳吧。

  4. 其实这里应该是I can't hide from you,这里还是为了歌词的押韵。那么这里要隐藏什么呢,就是下面说的loving feeling。

  5. will这里做名词,表示“意志,愿望,决心,毅力等”,就是跟人的心理活动有关。例如:Man has free will. 人类有自由的意志。She has no will of her own. 她没有主见。She shows great strength of will.她表现出了坚强的意志力。

  6. tease表示“取笑;嘲弄”,但是这里表示“戏弄,逗弄”,指情人之间的挑逗。

  7. deny表示“否定,否认”,例如:She denied this to be the case. 她不承认情况是这样的。He denied knowing anything about it. 他否认知道此事。表示“拒绝”的时候,可以用deny someone something的句式,例如:He denies himself nothing.他对自己极为放纵。

  8. long for something 渴望,非常想得到某种事物。比如说,The children are longing for the holidays. 孩子们盼着放假。long to do something ,表示“渴望做某事”,例如:I'm longing to see you again. 希望能再见到你。那么 long for someone to do something,就表示“渴望某人做某事”,She longed for Tom to ask her for dance. 她巴不得Tom邀请自己跳舞。

  9. wake up 大家都知道是“醒来”的意思,但是又一个动词短语大家就不一定知道了,就是wake up to something,表示“意识到或认识到某事物”,例如:It's time to wake up to the fact that you're not very popular. 你早该知道你没什么人缘。He hasn't yet woken up to the seriousness of the situation. 他还没注意到事情的严重性。

  10. lose这个词挺有意思,表示“丢,丢失”,在英语中它可以跟很多词连用,真是“什么都能丢”。比如说:lose one's face,丢脸,lose one's breath,气喘吁吁,上气不接下气,lose touch with someone,跟某人失去联系,等等。lose one's shirt就是“输光,赌光”的意思,比如:He lost his shirt on the horses.这句话可不是他骑马的时候把衬衫都骑丢了,而是说他赌马把钱都输光了。
