Weida "Gemini Perspective"

The creation of songs is generally regarded as a mode of performing arts, a kind of leisure and entertainment for the public!

Personally, I think that songs are not just performance arts or entertainment, and most songs are works with multi-layered cultural connotations. Songs have both poetic charm and touching rhythms, which express the author's views and emotions, and some lyrics will have a complete story that reflects the values and phenomena of contemporary society. Because of such a rich connotation, listening to and singing nostalgic English songs is the most suitable tool for me to learn about the culture of Western countries and learn their language.

This column "Appreciation of Good Songs, Listening to Songs to Learn English" hopes to share nostalgic English old songs, so that friends who want to improve their English skills can have an easier channel to learn English. By sharing the author's inspiration when writing the song and the background of the time at that time, this is equivalent to providing a "context" for learning English, so as to improve English thinking> improve flexible understanding of English> and improve English expression skills.

Most of the nostalgic English songs shared in "Gemini Perspective" are slower and easy to master, and some of them have story content, with simple and beautiful words and correct grammar. It is well worth using as a reference for learning English. At the back of each song, learning points are also integrated, and some noteworthy points are given to the friends to wake up.

“Leaving On A Jet Plane 在坐一架喷射飞机离开” 是美国民谣创作歌手 John Denver 在1966年的作品，这首歌的原创歌名是“Babe, I hate to go”，后来出版商说服了 John 把歌名改为“Leaving On A Jet Plane 在坐一架喷射飞机离开”。

A year later (1967) the folk group Peter Paul and Mary covered the song, becoming their only song to reach the number one on the pop charts!

The lyrics of this song are about a pair of lovers, in which the singer may have inadvertently done something to disappoint the other party, and decided to go out for a long time to calm down, and before going out, he is reluctant to give up his lover, and promises to accept each other's wedding rings when he returns.

The relationship between men and women, after getting along for a long time, there will always be some contradictions, if each other still cares about and cherishes this relationship, a short separation to let both parties calm down, it is also a rational and mature mediation method!

学习点 Learning Points：

1. Bag --- (n.) Because the singer says that he is going to travel far away, I translate it as "luggage" here. "Luggage" may have another equivalent word, "Luggage".
2. There are several "'s" here that are colloquial shorthand versions of "is".
3. Blowing --- means "blowing", but in essence the driver is "honking" the horn, which is the expression of authentic English, and this is what we should pay attention to when understanding English.
4. There’re --- 是“There are”的口语版简写。
5. They --- "they" refer to those "things that make the other person unhappy, disappointed, and unserious, childish attitudes."
6. To come --- is the meaning of "coming = future".
