華南師范大學外文學院英語系04級學生。喜歡英文，喜歡聽英文歌曲，一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學到課文里學不到的知識，更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動人的旋律，找到每首歌的觸動點，理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽歌還喜歡看看書，聽歌讓我覺得享受，看書讓我覺得充實。

 我聽之我見：原來我對于Eric Clapton 的認識和大多數中國人一樣，只停留在他獲得格萊美獎的三首作品“Tears in heaven”、“Change the world”和“My father's eye”。當看了“Friends”第6季，Chandler和Monica在浪漫共舞, Eric Clapton悠悠地在耳邊唱著“Wonderful tonight”，我對這首歌的愛油然而生。如果說，生活中美好的東西讓我們向往讓我們感動，那這美好就是……

    Lyrics       

Wonderful tonight                 byEric Clapton

It's late in the evening
She is wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you.

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight."

3. I've got an aching head：我頭疼，也可以說成“My head was aching”

  中文歌詞

美妙的夜晚       埃里克·克萊普頓

夜已深
她還在為著裝發愁
薄施粉黛
梳罷金發
然后她問我，我看起來不錯吧
我說，你今晚看起來美極了

我們去參加舞會
所有人的目光都投向
與我同行的麗人
然后她問我，你感覺還好吧
我說，我今晚感覺棒極了

感覺很美妙因為我看見了
你眼中閃爍的愛意
最妙的是
你卻沒有意識到
我有多愛你
