听歌学英语:九百万辆自行车Nine Million Bicycles
用音乐分享心情，在好心情中感悟生活。各位好，我是Canace。某一个秋日，阳光正好，外事旅游的大巴上，有着热情美丽的北京导游小姐，拿着小喇叭和导游旗介绍北京的好精致，故宫天坛长城，这些大家都不陌生。导游小姐看似淡然地顺便提了一句“there are nine million bicycles in Beijing”，北京有九百万辆自行车。九百万，想来这个数字对于某些外国友人来说是相当震撼的，举座皆是啧啧称奇，座上便有一位可爱的秃顶老头拿出小本认真记下了。十月，Mike Batt 为歌手凯蒂·玛露写下这首叫做“Nine Million Bicycles”的单曲，随后这首歌横扫欧洲各国排行榜，所在专辑“Piece By Piece”也荣登英国专辑排行冠军。
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing.
That's a fact. It's a thing we can't deny 1
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge 2
That's a guess. No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar 3. Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world, more or less
And it makes me feel quite small. But you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on the wire with the world in our sight
And I'll never tire of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact. It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die
