如何轻松的欣赏英语？
思来想去，音乐，是一个不错的方法。
百合会英文达人一把抓，在下半桶水，此贴纯抛砖。
其实我觉得大概会冷。哈哈。
希望对英文涉及不深的同学，可以对英文产生一些兴趣。
这里暂时先介绍一首歌。因为我不知道怎么做才对学习更有帮助。并送上MF下载。不高音质。见谅。
MF下载点
这首是国际巨星（international superstar），mariah carey在《Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel》里的obsessed。
Memoir的意思是回忆录，imperfect angel是不完美的天使。
在专辑介绍里，第一句写到“Imperfections are in the eye of the beholder.”这句是从beauty is in the eye of the beholder（情人眼里出西施）演变而来的，意思是见仁见智。
Beholder = 旁观者
莎士比亚曾说，“Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye”也算是异曲同工吧？
Judgement= 判断力
接下来的第二句，就有激励效果。
You can see them as flaws, or as the very qualities that make us human -- and that make us strive to be better people in search of a perfection that we know we can never fully achieve.
你可以把他们（imperfections）看成(flaws)瑕疵, 或使我们成为人类的特有本质(quality)。让我们能在探索完美的方面成为更好的人而奋斗，虽然我们知道绝对完美是永远达不到的。
你可以试下玩弄这个句子，_______ is the very quality that makes us human。
打个比方，humanity(慈爱)is the very quality that makes us human。
Strive(奋斗)，I’ve strived to pass exam with flying colours。Flying colours是胜利的旗帜，也就是凯旋啦。不过如果你要说，奋斗至深夜，你可以用“burning the midnight oil” 挑灯苦读啊～
MC 说："Each song is like an intimate conversation or entry in a private diary"
（每一首歌都像一场亲密对话，或是私密日记里的记载。）
"A lot of the songs reflect（反映） specific（特定的）, different times in my life. Others were inspired（启迪） by movies, actual events that happened to me, or the stories of friends who told me about experiences that they've gone through."
“很多歌都反映出我生活里特定及不同的时间段。有些则从电影，发生在我身上的事件或朋友们告诉我的故事里得到灵感。”
“I’ve gone through so many difficulties”也就是“我经历了很多困难”。
关于这首《obsessed》（着迷），大家都知道是讽刺（to mock）痞子eminem的。
里面的歌词，真是逗得不行。
比如"Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex".
Windex是擦玻璃的一种肥皂水品牌。
I can see right through you,不是说你隐形（invisible）,而是说我可以看穿你。
下次同学看穿了朋友的阴谋诡计，可以用这句子。
咳咳，我们还是认真的从歌词学习一些字眼吧。我只是挑一些来讨论。
Obsess，在医学上的定义（基本叫obsessive-compulsive disorder强迫症）我就不多说了，不然就得输入几页我自己都不想看的字。
在这里，就用“着迷”来解释。
I am so obsessed with yamibo。我对百合会着迷得不能自己。
I'm up in the A- you're so so lame
and no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed, it must be the E
cuz you be poppin, hood, you get it poppin'
我是A级的，你却如此蹩脚。
甚至无人提及你的名字。
那一定是大麻（Weed, pot, buddha or bud, Mary Jane, grass, herb, dope, schwag, and reefer也就是大麻（marijuana，cannabis的别名），一定是因为迷幻药（ectasy）
因为你不经大脑的说话，小流氓，你让它突然爆发。
Pop这里的意思不好说，欢迎大家更正。
我不确定她是不是要说popping hood,那个的意思是
“打开车前面那块”中文我不知道叫啥的板。
Hood，也就是hoodlum, 流氓的意思。US的俚语。引用：poppin'有"get started...", "happening", "going on"的含意
而hood有"ghetto", "someone from the ghetto", 以及其他一些比較限制級的意思
我想在這邊的解讀應該是
you get it poppin' = you started it (dissing)
(是你先開始的((開始找麻煩/在歌裡互相攻擊)))
hood = hinting that eminem was from the ghetto

其他同义俚语: Hoodlum, Gangsta, Thug, Nigga, Pimp, Street-rat, Street Urchin, etc.引用：Since it's immediately after "It must be the weed, it must be the E",
plus she talked about sex later in the song, I think,
"cuz you be poppin', hood, you get it poppin'"
=> because you are popping drugs, gangster, you are ready for sex
The first pop means getting high; the 2nd pop, "get it poppin" means go get some sex.
It's dirty black slang...

中文就popping (food)来说，是胡乱吃东西（不经大脑的）。
例句为： we were popping peanuts while watching movie.(我们看戏时（自动性的）吃花生）
可是就一些俚语字典来说（我去查了下），嗑药的嗑就是poppin了。（必须是药片）
所以you are poppin drugs,这里就是嗑药了
第二个you get it poppin' = 你要做爱。
初步浅译：
一定是大麻，一定是迷幻药
因为你磕了药，小流氓，所以你要做爱。
对不好笑的笑话，我们也可以说lame joke。白雷马文，lame story。
Lame的另一个意思是跛腿。The accident made him lame in the right leg.车祸使他的右脚腐了。
Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth- still couldn't get this
终于找到一个你无法感动到的女孩
就算全世界只剩你一个男人，还是不能得到我。
这段简直是毒辣（就英文来说），看来痞子除非变性做百合，不然以男人身是绝对不可能得到凯莉的了。有人说这是devastating putdown。（辛辣的贬低）
Devastating，的意思有毁灭性的，挖苦的，惊人的，压倒性的，或有魅力的。也就是褒贬皆有。
The comedy was completely devastating.那个戏剧滑稽极了。
You look devastating in that new dress.你穿那套新衣看起来漂亮极了。当然我们通常说：“you look gorgeous!”
“Last man on earth- still couldn't get me”同学可以学起来。
暂时就这样。谢谢大家。
