关键词：

You get two benefits from one show: 一集节目，两个收获

Enjoy beautiful weekend songs and learn English at the same time: 边享受好听的歌曲，边学英语

We want to make sure we choose songs suitable for learning: 我们给大家选了适合英语学习的歌

Some songs are not suitable, because the words are mumbled and can't be used in everyday situations: 不是所有歌都适合学习用途，比如有些歌词唱得很不清楚，或者歌词本身也不是日常使用的语言

The Lazy Song 赖床听的歌

A perfect weekend song from Bruno Mars: 是Bruno Mars一首特别好听的周末歌曲

The lazy song: 懒人的歌

I don't feel like doing anything on the weekend: 周末，我什么都不想做

Just wanna kick my feet up: 抬腿、踢脚

Such a relaxed position: 很放松的姿势

"歌词"英语怎么说?

这两个说法都可以 Lyrics Words

区别是words这个说法比lyrics更口语

The lyrics to this song are very simple, but super practical: 这些歌的歌词都简单，但非常实用

For example, words like "lounging", "chilln'", they are all different ways to say "relax": 比如"lounging", "chilln'"都是不同的表达“relax"的说法

For me, a good English song for learning should have lyrics that can be used in everyday situations: 对我来说，适合学英语的歌一定要有通用、实用的歌词

But many songs like R&B songs and rap songs are nice to listen to, but not the best for learning: 有些现在的R&B, rap歌就没法用来学英语

We hope the songs we chose today are great to listen to and have great learning value: 希望今天选的歌大家都觉得好听，又有学习价值

The Lazy Song

Today I don't feel like doin' anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

don't feel like picking up my phone

so leave a message at the tone

cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan

...

Perfect Date Song 复古浪漫情歌

What a beautiful song: 这首歌太好听了

You sang it so well: 你也唱得很好

Lots of practice: 练了很多次

It's from your countrymen Michael Buble?: 是你的加拿大同胞Michael Buble?唱的

必须收藏的周末英语歌

Something Stupid

I know I'd stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid Like I love you

Each time I listen to this song, I don't want it to end. It's so beautiful: 我每次听这首歌，都不想让它停

It's a very retro song: 特别复古的情调

It was first sung by Frank Sinatra and his wife Nancy Sinatra: 最早是Frank Sinatra和他太太Nancy一起唱的

K歌英语

Duet: 对唱

Melody: 旋律

Harmony: 对唱、合声

I like old songs because the lyrics are simple words, but put together in a way that flow and rhyme beautifully: 我特别喜欢老歌，因为歌词很有魅力，简单的词，放在一起，却很流畅押韵

Lovely Bossa Nova 轻柔、温暖

Warm and inviting voice: 温暖、吸引人的嗓音

It's a perfect song for an afternoon at Starbucks: 这首歌特别适合下午在星巴克听

I was a bit scared of listening to Lisa Ono for a while: 但我有段时间有点怕听小野丽莎

People selling pirated CDs downstairs at our old office played the 2 same bossa nova songs everyday for 2 years: 我们以前办公室楼下卖盗版碟的，同样两首bossa nova歌放了两年

And the same verse: 而且放来放去都是同一段

If you live in Shanghai, you probably get what we mean: 同在上海的朋友，应该有体会吧

The songs we chose today are all easy-listening songs: 今天放的都是特别容易听的歌曲
