Sunshine On My Shoulders
阳光照在我肩上
Sunshine On My Shoulders
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always
阳光照在我肩上
阳光照在我的肩上使我心情欢愉；
阳光照在我的眼里让我眼含泪滴，
阳光照在水面是如此的美丽，
阳光几乎总是让我神采奕奕。
如果我有一天可以给你，
我会给你一天就象今日；
如果我有支歌能唱给你，
我会唱一支歌让你感受如己。
阳光照在我的肩上使我心愉，
阳光照在我的眼里让我泪滴，
阳光照在水面是如此的美丽，
阳光几乎总是让我神采奕奕。
如果我有个故事可以讲给你，
我会讲一个故事定让你心喜；
如果我有个祝愿用来祝福你，
我的祝愿是让阳光永照大地。
阳光照在我的肩上使我心愉，
阳光照在我的眼里让我泪滴，
阳光照在水面是如此的美丽，
阳光几乎总是让我神采奕奕。
阳光几乎总是，总是让我神采奕奕，
阳光几乎总是。。。
这首Denver 1971年推出的抒情慢歌当称其众多作品里的经典之一。在吉他亲切柔和的引领下denver将关于阳光的故事娓娓道.歌如歌名，象阳光一样温暖，它可以是中年人轻轻怀旧的小曲，是青年人听够了摇滚和金属之后安静的休憩，它还是科幻影片《ET》中的插曲。歌词是john denver独立创作。来看：
1、Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy=When the sun shines on my shoulders, it makes me happy.
阳光照在我肩上使我幸福欢畅
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry =When the sun shines in my eyes, it can make me cry. = When I see the sunshine, I feel like wanting to cry.
阳光照在我眼里使我眼泪流淌
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely =When the sun shines on the water, it makes the water look lovely.
阳光照在水面上形成美丽风光
Sunshine almost always makes me high =makes me high spirited
使我情绪高涨。high在这里等于in high spirits。
例: Her appearance always makes me high. 她的出现总使我兴高采烈。
2、If I had a day that I could give you, I'd give you a day just like today ：给你一天象今天这样。
如果我有一天可以给你，我要给你象今天一样的一天。这是一个虚拟语气句子。 I'd =I would.
If I had a song that I could sing for you, I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.
sing a song for…给……唱一首歌
e.g She often sings for him. When she sings, she sings like an angel.
在汉语里我们赞美一个人的文采好，说他（她）笔下生花，下笔有神，洋洋洒洒….西方人在赞美文字优美，常常用的是your writing is like a poetry, 或者you write poetically. 象诗一样优美的语言，行云流水，温软绵密。
有一个外国朋友对我说English is so romantic a language that can express many subtle feelings and sensitivity through simple words.英语是浪漫的语言，能透过许多简单的词语表达微妙细腻的情感。其实无论是汉语还是英语表达写作，最高境界都是用最简单的词汇，最简单的句子表达最意味深长的meaning. 选取了这首sunshine on my shoulders也是给大家展示大师的水平：john 不止带给我们悠扬轻松的乡村音乐，他还带来诗一般美丽的文字：用小学生都认识的词汇描述这么一幅怡然自得的阳光沐浴图。The song, apart from its soothing melody, is simple but rich in lyrics.这首歌曲歌词虽简单，却毫不贫乏。Simple but rich in lyrics.
回到吟游诗人John的那句 If I had a day that I could give you; if I had a song that I could sing for you.
If 带出了两个假设，上期节目中我们讲到100个美丽的英文单词，讲到了glory.这里又出现了一个，就是if. I.F, if.英语民族的人们为什么评价它是最美丽的英文单词呢，答案想必是多种多样的。简简单单一个if, 给我们的有假设，有想象，有无限可能的空间。因为不可知，所以美丽。记住咯；if I had… 是虚拟语气句式：如果我能...如果我可以...
例如：if I had wings I would fly to you. 如果我有翅膀，我要飞到你身边。
3、关于if 有两个很有用的短语：Only if，是只有在，只有当...的时候。也就是only on the condition of… 而if only 又是一个虚拟语气的用法，意思是要是。。多好。表达的是心愿。
例如：If only I had unlimited supply of money! 要是我财源滚滚就好啦！
再例如：If only you were right here by my side. 要是现在你在我身边就好了。
