Unforgivable Sinner
| | 11月30日
A：提起挪威的流行乐手，人们会想到80年代著名的乐队-A-ha。在今天的挪威，又出现了一个新星，她就是年仅18岁的女孩Lene Marlin。 
B：说起Lene Marlin的成功之路，就如同一个神话故事：在一次回家的公共汽车上，她偶遇挪威广播公司的记者，并被推荐给Virgin（处女）唱片公司。从此一个普通的女孩开始走进流行乐坛，给人们带来惊喜。
(B: When talking about Lene Marlin's success, it all started like a fairy tale. On a bus-trip home, she met the journalist from NRK, who wanted to present her songs to the Norwegian Virgin director. This bus-trip has proved to be the start of a journey - not only home - but also to the stars. This normal Norwegian girl began to bring surprises to the world.)
A：Lene Marlin声音独特，1999年，她出的单曲“Sitting Down Here”（坐在这儿），“Unforgivable Sinner”（不可宽恕的罪人）销量奇佳。去年3月，仅单曲“Unforgivable Sinner”就卖出了4万张的惊人成绩。 
B：她也因这首单曲获得了1999年挪威音乐大奖——“Spellemansprisen”，被欧洲著名的音乐杂志Music and Media《音乐与传媒》誉为“欧洲流行乐坛的流行彗星（pop-comet）”。而她才从刚读完高中。
(B: In 1999, she received an award by the Norwegian Music award
“Spellemansprisen” for her song "Unforgivable Sinner". One of Europes largest music magazines, Music and Media, also named Lene Marlin one of Europe's greatest pop-comets in their review. At that time, she just finished her high-school studies.)
A：我们今天要听的正是她这首著名的单曲——Unforgivable Sinner不可宽恕的罪人。
B：好，一起来听一听这位挪威女孩的迷人歌声吧！
建议：在听音乐的同时，对照英文歌词，这样效果最好！
 
Kinda loose your sense of time
cause the days don't matter no more
All the feelings that you hide
gonna tear you up inside 
You hope she knows you tried
Follows you around all day
And you wake up soaking wet
cause between this world and
eternity there is a face you hope to see
You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off
but you know you won't get far
And now she's up there sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
You've been walking around in tears
No answers is there to get
You won't ever be the same
someone cries and you're to blame
Struggling with a fight inside
Sorrow you will defeat
The picture you see won't disappear 
Not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear
You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off but
you know you won't get far
And now she's up there sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
Maybe one time lost but now you're found stand
right up before you hit the ground
Maybe one time lost
but you're found stand right up before you hit the ground
Hit the ground
You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off
but you know you won't get far
and now she's up there sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
EXPLAINATION PART
欣赏完歌曲，不知你是否注意到歌曲中常用的一些缩略语。
…Kinda loose your sense of time…
…All the feelings that you hide gonna tear you up inside…
这里的kinda实际上是“kind of”的缩写形式。在口语中很常用，是“有点儿，几乎，差不多”的意思。而gonna则是"going to"的缩写。
我们下面要讲的词组是"ease off"。
…you're trying to ease off…
“ease off”是“减轻（负担），缓和（痛苦，紧张状态）”的意思
这句话的意思是“你要试图减轻负担”。
再如：The girl is trying to ease her father's mind off.
那个小女孩想使她的父亲安心。
好，time is up. 我们下次再见。
