旅遊主題曲(by Brian Greene)
So you‘re going on a trip and you want to make it good
So you know you’ve got to talk like a local should
From getting on the plane to picking up a car
Beta‘s gonna help you go near and far
You can ask about the weather, ask about a room
If you get bored you hum this tune
At the post office buying bubble wrap
Checklist: credit card, this book, a map
Yeah take this book and put it in your bag, yeah put this bool in your bag
You’re going on a tour and you hope to make it good
And you know you got to speak like the locals should
So you take this book and put it in your bag
Even though you won‘t find the word “jet lag”
From getting something robbed to going into space
Just open this book and place it near your face
Read your lines they’re printed on the page
From “no funny business” to getting braids
Yeah put it in your bag, take this book and put it into your bag
You‘re gonna take a trip and you’re gonna make it good
By speaking some English like a local would
It doesn‘t even matter if you’re in a bus or a bar
The phrases herein make you the star
Next month, in an hour, maybe under par
You‘ll know how to find binder clips in Del Mar
From sending a fax to seeing a mirage
We hope you pack this book - Bon Voyage!
譯文:
你將踏上旅程並渴望一切順利,
你知道講英文要有當地人的味道,
從上機到搭車,
貝塔將會幫你,無論你要去的地方是近還遠!
你可以問天氣、問房間,
到郵局買泡泡紙時,
如果無聊就唱這首歌!
必備清單:信用卡、這本書、一起地圖!
耶,帶著這本書、放進行囊中;耶,把書放進行囊中!
你將踏上旅程並渴望一起順利,
你知道講英文要有當地人的味道,
所以帶著這本書、放進行囊中,
雖然書裡找不到“時差”兩個字,
但從被搶、到抵達某地,
只要翻開書,放到你前面,
念出書中的句子,從“別搞怪”到編髮辮都有!
耶,放進行囊中,帶著這本書,放進行囊中!
你將踏上旅程並渴望一切順利,
說的英文就像當地人一樣!
無論你是在巴士上或酒吧裡都無所謂,
本書的句子讓你變成明星,
下個月、一小時後,也許更短!
你會知道如何在德爾瑪鎮找到長尾夾,
從傳真到看見海市蜃樓,
盼你打包這本書——祝你一路順風!
