西城男孩 西城男孩 (Westlife) 在全球唱片业一片不景气下，男孩偶像天王团体?“西城男孩”，前两张专辑竟拿下了52张白金唱片;他们Coast to Coast《咫尺天涯》80场马拉松式的巡回演唱会，风靡了欧亚非32个城市的百万名观众。全球乐迷笼罩在一片“西城热”中。 自出道以来，外型俊俏的西城男孩不仅囊括多项音乐大奖，更创造了许多连前辈猫王、“披头四”都要自叹不如的纪录。1999年，他们以Flying Without Wings《为爱而飞》赢得“年度最佳唱片”，第二年又以My Love《亲亲吾爱》再次获得这个奖项。2000年，他们以Swear It Again《再次宣誓》等五支单曲连续登上排行榜冠军，打破吉尼斯世界纪录。随后，再凭与玛丽亚?凯莉合唱的Against All Odds“再看我一眼”及“亲亲吾爱”再添两首冠军单曲，创下单曲七连霸的惊人佳绩。 在无数歌迷引颈期盼下，西城男孩终于推出第三张专辑World of Our Own《我们的世界》。新专辑收录了丰富的音乐类型，男孩们的唱腔与音色也更加圆润纯熟。其中“天使”一曲则是重唱电影《X情人》的动人主歌，经由“西城男孩”优美和声的诠释，更平添空灵飘渺的气息。 “西城男孩”金曲赏析:Angel (天使) Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For a break that would make it OK There's always some reason to feel“not good enough” And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction, oh a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight Chorus: In the arms of the angel, fly away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escape one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees Chorus Performers: Westlife 翻译: 用所有时间等待再一次机会 一次小憩能让一切顺利 总有些原因让人觉得不够完美 苦闷就在一日之末 我需要一些排遣，哦，美丽的释放 回忆从血管渗出 让我出空，让我失重，也许 今晚我会找到一些平静 (合唱) 依偎在天使的怀抱，飞离此处 远离这黑暗，冰冷的饭店客房 远离你那无尽的感觉 你已从默默沉思的残局中脱身 你就在天使的怀抱中 也许你会在这儿找到一丝慰藉 非常厌倦一成不变的生活，不管你转向何处 总有贪得无厌之徒和窃贼在你身后 暴风雨继续席卷，你继续堆筑 为掩饰不足而编造的谎言 逃避最后一次，不会有任何改变 更容易相信 在这甜蜜的狂乱中，哦这灿烂的悲哀 将使我屈服 (合唱) 活用词汇: 1. seep v.渗出 2. vein n.血管 3. reverie n.幻想 4. vulture n.秃鹰;贪得无厌的人 5. bring sb. to his knees idiom使某人屈服 1. distraction ,n. sth. that turns people’s attention away from sth. else分心的事物;娱乐 eg: We took her to a KTV because she needed a distraction from her busy job.
