1968年3月30日,Celine Dion出生在加拿大魁北克省的一个音乐之家,这是一个大家庭,兄弟姐妹一共有14个之多,Celine是最小的。在5岁的时候,Celine就充分展露了她的音乐才华。12岁时,Celine制作了她的第一张示范专辑Ce n'etait qu'un reve(It was only a dream),同时她的才华得到了魁北克名经纪人Rene的支持。在Rene抵挡了他的住宅后,Celine出版了她的第一张专辑。之后她就在加拿大和法国取得了不错的战绩。
由于出生在法语区,在Rene的建议下,Celine去了蒙特利尔的一个学校学习英语,经过几个月的不懈努力,Celine基本掌握了英语。与此同时,她也与Sony公司签约,出版了第一张英文专辑Unison(调和)。之后Celine一发不可收拾,在Sony的旗帜下,先后出版了14张专辑,获得了无数的荣誉。
93年Dion与Peabo Bryson在电影《Beauty And Beasts》(美女与野兽)中演唱的歌曲获得了葛莱美奖。94年在影片《西雅图的不眠之夜》中又与Clive Grittin 联袂合作了一曲《When I Fell in Love》(当我坠入爱河),这使她再度获得了多项殊荣。她的第一首单曲《The Power of Love》(爱之伟力)一经推出,立即成为Billboard 排行榜上的榜首歌曲。在新专辑《The Colour of My Love》(我爱的色彩)中,Celine Dion使乐迷们欣赏到了不借助现代电子技术合成而仅仅是天赋歌喉的美妙绝伦。
1997年随着电影《泰坦尼克号》的奇迹,由Celine Dion演唱的主题曲《My Heart Will Go On》获得了第41届格莱美年度最佳唱片奖(Record Of The Year),Celine Dion也凭借这首歌获得了最佳流行音乐女歌手奖(Best Female4 Pop Vocal5 Performance)。
[歌词讲解]
1. 前面这几句都是以for开头,这是为什么呢?是因为后面有一句歌词是I'll be forever thankful baby我将永远心存感激。感激什么呢?就是for 后面的这些句子。be thankful or grateful for这个词组表示“因为某事而心存感激”。比如说,I'm thankful for your help. 感谢你的帮助。当然再简单一点我们也可以说Thank you for your help.
2. stand by sb 这个词组表示“支持或者援助某人”,比如说,I'll stand by you whatever happens. 无论发生什么事情我都支持你。还有stand by sth,表示“信守承诺,遵守”,He still stands by every word he said. 他仍然信守自己说的每一句话。如果单独使用stand by,可以表示“袖手旁观”,比如说,How can you stand by and let him kill himself? 他要自杀,你怎么不阻止而袖手旁观呢?
3. hold sb up 有点像cheer sb up,有“支持某人,让某人振作”的意思。fall这里跟hold sb up相对,表示“失败”。
4. see sb through sth 指“满足某人的需要,帮助或支持某人”,特别是在困难的时候,比如说,His courage and good sense of humor6 saw her through the bad times.他的勇气和幽默感帮助她度过了难关。 That coat should see me through the winter. 有那件大衣应该能过冬了。I've only got 20 dollars to see me through until pay-day!我只剩下20美元了,要熬到发薪水那天了。
5. You saw the best there was in me这句歌词可以简单地说成You saw the best in me.
6. lift sb up跟第一段歌词中的hold sb up一样,都可以比喻“支持某人”。
7. faith 这个词表示“信任,信仰,信心”,后面经常跟介词in,比如说,Do you have any faith in what he says? 你相信他所说的话吗?I lost faith in that guy. 我对那个人失去了信心。
8. out of reach,是一个习语,表示“手不能及,够不到”,我们还可以说,beyond one's reach,比如说,Keep those medicines out of the children's reach. 把这些药放在小孩子够不到的地方。The shelf is so high it is well out of my reach or well beyond my reach. 架子太高,我根本够不着。out of or beyond one's reach还可以表示“非某人某事物的能力,权利,影响等所及,比如说,Such well-paid jobs are out of his reach. 这种高薪的工作根本没他的份。相反,within one's reach 就可以表示“伸手可及”或者“在某人或某事物的能力范围之内”,比如说,Put the dictionary within my reach. 把字典放在我伸手可及的地方。
9. 这里stand tall有“抬头挺胸,站得笔直”的意思。看来爱情的力量真是伟大。
10. be blessed to do sth的意思就是“很有福气很幸运地做了某事”,比如说,I was blessed to get to have you in my life. 我的生命中有你是一种福气。还有一个用法是be blessed with sth/sb,表示“因为有某事物,某人而有福气”,比如说,He is blessed with excellent health. 他身体非常好,真有福气。She was blessed with five children. 她有五个孩子,真有福气。
11. shine这里的意思是“用…的光向某个方向照射”,比如说,The police shone a torchlight on the house. 警察用探照灯照射这所房子。I hate lights being shone in my face. 我不喜欢灯光正对着我的脸。
12. inspiration to /for sb 的意思是“鼓舞或激励人的人或事物”。比如说,His wife is an inspiration to him. 他的妻子是他生活的动力。
