送大家一句话：He who would search for pearls⁵, must dive below.欲采珍珠需潜深水这是戏剧作家约翰-德莱顿（John Drydon）的名言，字面的意思是，谁要寻找珍珠就必须深入水下。也就是说想要得到别人得不到的东西，就要敢于进入别人不敢进入的领域。
节目进行到中间，再来欣赏一首Sissel的"Should It Matter"，并继续我们下面的学习。
歌词：Someone like you, baby no one holds a candle.
谁能够像你,亲爱的 没有人能够与你相比。
Can't hold a candle to sb是一个固定短语，字面含义是不能握住蜡烛，在俚语中意思为“简直不能与…相比”。比如：
No one can hold a candle to him when it comes to playing the guitar.
说到弹吉他,谁也比不上他。
歌词：Some things fate won't let you leave behind. I could turn this world over but I'll never find.
有些事注定不会错过，我翻转整个世界但却找不到。
1. Turn over基本意思是“翻转”。比如：
They helped to turn over the huge stone.
他们帮助把这块大石头翻过来
2. Turn over还可以表示“移交给”，比如：
Who do you want to turn over your work to?
你要把工作移交给谁?
3. Turn over 第三个意思是“翻阅”，比如：
He was turning over pages of an encyclopedia⁶.
他在翻阅一本百科全书。
歌词：It's not like I've given up on life, just because I've found this love.
不是我已放弃生活，而是我已找到真爱。
give up on v. 对...不再抱有希望
Mark is your friend. You shouldn't give up on him so easily.
马克是你的朋友。你不应该这么轻易地放弃他。
节目接近尾声。还记得歌词I've never felt something so right, your love is a gift to my heart. 没有什么比这更正确，你的爱是上天的餽赠。在很久以前同样记得一句类似的话语叫做I must have done
