Pink Martini來自美國，卻在法語樂壇打出了一片天地。

Pink Martini的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者Thomas Lauderdale是個鋼琴手，卻組織了包括人聲、弦樂、管樂與打擊樂器群在內(nèi)的14位頂尖音樂好手。

Pink Martini沒有國際唱片公司龐大的預(yù)算撐腰，卻因其多元、天賦、趣味被紐約客稱作“美麗的”“成熟的”“令人興奮異常的”樂隊。

今天的這首Lilly是Pink Martini不多見的英文歌曲之一，一起來欣賞吧！值得一提的是，主唱名叫China Forbes，看到China這個單詞，是不是覺得非常親切呢？其實Forbes這個單詞也很親切有木有？

聽歌學(xué)口語

你還記得初學(xué)英語時我們小老師Lucy和Lily嗎？沒錯，Lily或是Lilly是我們非常熟悉的名字，但由于它們的發(fā)音和漢語中的“麗麗”很相近，許多人常常直接把Lilly讀作“麗麗”。事實上，漢語中[i]的發(fā)音和英語中[i]的發(fā)音還是有很大區(qū)別的。自己讀一讀“麗麗”，再和歌中的“Lilly”對比一下，是不是發(fā)現(xiàn)前者更為清脆，而后者更圓潤自然呢？

[i]屬于48個國際音標中的短元音，故發(fā)音要短促而輕快。發(fā)這個音的時候嘴唇要微微張開，舌尖抵下齒，舌前部抬高，整個口型呈扁平狀。

訣竅：舌前部抬高

這個音的發(fā)音成敗就在這一個小動作上。所謂舌前部抬高，是說舌尖抵住下齒后，舌頭后面的部分微微抬起，抵住上顎，保持口型扁平，自然出聲，就能發(fā)出標準的[i]。而如果舌前部動作沒有到位，舌頭懶懶躺在下面，發(fā)出的就是漢語中的“麗麗”了。

Lyrics

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

One day she passed him by
A twinkle in her eye
He said " she was meant for me!"
But when he turned around
He lost what he had found
Oh where can his Lilly be?

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

He searched the city streets
He tempted her with treats
But nobody stopped to taste them
Some are in his pocket
Some are in a locket
He couldn't bring himself to waste them

Ever since she's gone
Some days he can't go on
She runined for another
Pressed up against the glass
He prays that she will pass
Now he's living with his mother

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

Stay, stay, stay, stay
