[01:36.57]Let's start from here

[01:50.10]standing here face to face

[01:54.90]a finger on your lips

[01:57.43]don't say a word don't make a sound

[02:02.44]silence surrounds us now

[02:04.85]even when you were gone I felt you everywhere

[02:14.71]change our minds, we don't need a finish line

[02:20.17]let's take this chance don't think too deep

[03:27.73]Giving up, why should I

[03:29.75]I've come too far to forget

[03:32.08]Beautiful, just got lost

[03:34.50]somewhere along the way

[03:36.83]so much was missing when you went away

[03:40.72]为什么我应该放弃

[03:42.28]为了忘记过去，我不惜一切

[03:44.82]却在沿途的美景中迷失了自己

[03:47.89]当你离开时，曾经的点点滴滴也不再记起

[04:23.71]Let's start from here, lose the past

[04:26.95]change our minds, we don't need a finish line

[04:30.64]let's take this chance don't think too deep

[04:34.24]of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep

[04:38.28]I don't care where we go

[04:40.70]Let's start from here

[04:42.83]让我们从这里开始，忘记过去

[04:45.46]改变我们的想法，我们不需要终点

[04:48.70]让我们冒险尝试一次

[04:51.13]不要考虑哪些我们看上去无法兑现的诺言

[04:54.56]我不在乎去哪

[04:56.28]让我们从这里开始

[04:59.01]take chance， "冒险"的意思。

[05:01.64]He took a big chance when he made his investment 3.

[05:05.68]当时他投资时是冒了大风险的。

[05:08.26]take chance还可以表示"抓住机会"，

[05:11.45]例如： Take every chance that comes along抓住每个机会。

[05:16.02]美国俚语中有一句叫"Chinese chance"，

[05:19.51]字面意思是"中国人的机会"，

[05:21.83]但翻译成汉语应理解为"没有任何机会"。

[05:25.40]例如：You have Chinese chance. 意思是"你没有任何机会"。

[05:30.35]那么，美国人为什么要这么说中国人呢？

[05:32.72]这就要追溯到19世纪中叶美国的淘金热。

[05:36.67]当时，美国的加利福尼亚（California）发现了金矿，

[05:39.39]引起了美国的淘金热。

[05:41.17]而华人只被允许在那些已经被开采过的矿上淘金，

[05:45.71]所以淘到金子的可能性极小，几乎等于零。

[05:49.20]所以白人就把"没有任何机会"说成Chinese chance。

[05:53.29]可见当时的海外华人在祖国没有强大的时候，是无法受到平等待遇的。

[06:26.52]a finger on your lips

[06:28.48]don't say a word don't make a sound

[06:31.82]silence surrounds us now

[06:34.36]even when you were gone I felt you everywhere

[06:38.10]面对面站在这里

[06:39.51]手指放在唇前

[06:41.38]不说一句话，不出一点声响

[06:43.91]此刻宁静围绕我们周围

[06:46.39]即使你走了，到处我都可感受到你的存在

[06:51.54]don't say a word，一句话都不要说，

[06:54.78]word除了表示"单词"以外，还可以表示"话语"，

[06:58.21]比如，我能和你谈几句话吗？

[07:00.94]Can I have a word with you? 一般指比较私下的事。

[07:04.38]Have a word，"谈几句"。

[07:07.72]这时大家会想，我可以说成have words吗？

[07:11.51]可以是可以，但意思却是千差万别，

[07:14.58]因为have words with sb是与某人吵架的意思，

[07:18.23]所以大家一定要区别使用。

[07:20.66]例如：He had words with his wife last night.

[07:23.79]他昨晚和他妻子吵架了。

[07:51.64]我从不是一个畅谈心声的人

[07:53.96]但你一直是我的心声

[07:56.09]是我冰冷的心中仅有的温暖

[07:59.16]open up"畅谈，倾吐心事"

[08:02.40]When she felt she could trust me, she began to open up.

[08:06.81]她觉得可以信任我时，就开始没有顾忌的谈了起来。
