听歌学英语:轻装旅程,无拘人生-Traveling Light
出生美国宾州的Courtney Jaye，求学时期受到嬉皮年代所释放出的独特魅力驱使，对于音乐的文化影响力，开始有着浓厚兴趣，发现从音乐中可以全然感受无拘束的自由感，直到遭受身边挚友过世的打击，让她开始认真面对音乐课题的创作，藉由实际的创作与发表，换化出内心里的喜怒哀乐。之后在一次疯狂追随偶像的过程中她深刻的感受到：若是没办法诚实做自己，只是跟随别人的影子走，永远不会加宽自己的格局，走出属于自己的味道。于是，我们有幸听到了这样一首借由些许乡村声韵、搭配其甜而不腻的嗓音、所调和出的毫无压力的独特音乐触感——Traveling Light送给大家！
Traveling Light
---Courtney Jaye
Three years or a lifetime 1
Three words that just might have come too soon
Three hours from somewhere
I might have ended up with you
Hold me like a river
Hold me like a string tied to a balloon
You get what you're given
At any moment, a moment of truth
All my life, I'm traveling light
Been living in a sky
I'll float, I'll fade 2 up, I'll carry away
'Til you pull me down and think of me sometimes
I'm sorry for leaving
I'm sorry for all, I could not do
You knew it was coming
Maybe in some ways, I did too
The keys by the bedside
And bags in the hall
'Cause all my life, I'm traveling light
Been living in a sky
I'll float, I'll fade up , I'll carry away
'Til you pull me down and think of me sometimes
I'm searching for something
In the ether of this mess
Riding above these missing 3 pieces
Leaves me weightless
All my life, I'm traveling light
Been living in a sky
I'll float, I'll fade up , I'll carry away
'Til you pull me down and you think of me
All my life, I'm traveling light
Been living in a sky
I'll float, I'll fade, I'll carry away
'Til you pull me down and think of me sometimes, sometimes
Courtney毕业后，决定展开旅行生涯，一方面感受各地域音乐民情文化，一方面详细写下当时的心境转变，为自己的音乐世界画出更为多彩的鲜亮色调。喜爱冲浪的她，不时享受阳光、海浪的洗礼，更在每一个待过的地方，留下一道道深刻足迹。是不是让人很向往，希冀着某一日，我们也能开始一段如此旅行生涯！
一起来学习几个与旅游相关的英语表达：
1.Lay Over 过夜，短暂停留
一些人去旅游，并不喜欢参加旅行团 ( Tour package )，原因是旅行社的行程都是满满当当走马观花似的，若你想在某地方多逗留一会都很困难，故此很多游客 ( Tourist )会选择自由行（Free walker），可以随时在喜欢的地点过夜，作短暂停留，Lay over 就是「过夜留宿」的意思。
例：The passengers will lay over in Shanghai for 2 hours before completing the journey to Sydney.在飞往悉尼前，乘客们将在上海停留两个小时。"
其实，我们去旅行时作短暂停留也是好事，人总要有休息的时候，Lay over 可以令你养精蓄锐 ( Recharge your batteries 4 )。记住：休息是为了走更长的路！
2.Stop over 过夜 ( to spend the night ) 或作短暂停留
例：I asked my mother if I could stop over at Annie’s house last night.
我问母亲可否让我在 Annie的家过夜。
We stopped over in a hotel last night.
昨晚我们在旅馆住了一夜。
3.最后学一句相关的谚语：East,west, home is the best!金窝，银窝，不如自己的狗窝！
一番舟车劳顿之后，最终我们会发现还是自己的家好啊！
- He wrote many books during his lifetime.他一生著作甚多。
- During his lifetime his work was never published.他的作品在他的有生之年从未出版过。
- Will the colour in this material fade?这种料子褪色吗？
