188, "500 miles" (6 more)
In the previous life, Chen Zhe's English was not good, but it was only at the level of the fourth level of the university.
In this life, Chen Zhe's English is also relatively average, but it is slightly stronger than in the previous life, and he barely passed the sixth-level exam.
But the cumulative English level of these two lives is different, which directly doubles his English level.
Sitting on the stone by the bonfire, Chen Zhe sang this English ballad calmly, every word, every tone was just right, although English is not his native language, but Chen Zhe's singing is also very authentic, decent.
He sang an English ballad that was very popular in the previous life, called "500miles".
This song was created as early as 1961 and widely circulated, and in 2013, it was selected as the theme song of a movie "Drunken Country Folk".
So from the point of view of singing and artistic value, this song is a veritable classic.
Chen Zhe dared to sing this song because it was recognized by several generations.
His expression was calm, his eyes slightly closed, he slowly shook his body, and sang by the campfire:
"Ahundredmiles, ahundredmiles (a hundred miles, a hundred miles)
Ahundredmiles, ahundredmiles (100 miles, 100 miles)
Youcanhearthewhistleblowahundredmiles (you can hear the whistle blowing from a hundred miles away)
LordI'mone, lordI'mtwo (God, a hundred miles, two hundred miles)
lordI'mthree, lordI'mfour (God, three hundred miles, four hundred miles)
Lord I'mfivehundredmilesawayfromhome (God, I'm five hundred miles away from home)"
The lyrics of this song are so simple that even beginners in English can easily understand them.
There are only a few words that are repeated throughout the lyrics, but they describe a vivid picture.
Among those present, Clark herself is a native English speaker, and Liatilla's English is also very good.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have been idol trainees abroad, and they are naturally very fluent in English.
In the end, only Yan'er was left with a slightly worse level of English, but she could also hear this simple English ballad.
With Chen Zhe's singing, everyone seemed to have come to a quiet and beautiful railway station, walked on the empty platform, boarded the old train, and then left their hometown little by little as the train started.
If the song "Chengdu-Du" just now depicts the most beautiful side of the hometown, using the familiar streets of the hometown to awaken the homesickness in the hearts of travelers, then the current song "500miles" is to use the scene of leaving the hometown to render the homesickness in the hearts of the wanderers.
In addition, the melody of this song is so beautiful, and Chen Zhe's voice is as good as heaven.
Soon, Yan'er and the others were once again immersed in Chen Zhe's singing, completely forgetting the unpleasantness of arguing with Clark just now.
Chen Zhe by the bonfire continued to sing, and the song also came to the second part.
He still closed his eyes obliviously, not bothering to observe the expressions of the others.
At this moment, Clark, who was sitting a little farther away, fell into a grief that he could not extricate himself from.
He originally thought that Chen Zhe singing English songs was completely humiliating himself.
What kind of English song does a Chinese person sing? English is not his mother tongue.
Besides, he may not be able to control foreign music styles and write lyrics that move people's hearts.
In fact, Clark has already thought of the language of sarcasm and sarcasm, and is ready to belittle his song as worthless.
But he never expected that when Chen Zhe sang the song "500miles", from the first sentence, Clark was directly moved.
It was like a heavy hammer, hammered hard in his heart.
The sad melody and the sad lyrics make people can't help but fall into the sadness of parting and missing their families.
"If you miss my train, then you should know that I have left you when you hear the whistle blowing in the wind......"
Next, although I just used the lyrics to simply repeat the number of miles away from home—a hundred, two hundred, three hundred......
But the more this simple repetition, the more it can reflect the reluctant emotion of the person who left home.
In addition, Chen Zhe's voice is too unique, and there is a faint sadness condensed in it.
At this moment, even if Clark's heart is like steel, it will inevitably turn into a finger twist in Chen Zhe's singing.
"Oh, damn it......"
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and muttered in English,
"What kind of character is this damn Chinese man? Why can he write such a great English song? This song is even more wonderful than the classic old songs I've heard, why?!
After complaining for a while, the depression in Clark's heart gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a longing for his hometown.
He began to miss the town where he lived, a small town with a small population, where it would snow, big enough in the winter, that it would affect the traffic and make it impossible to travel.
He also thought of his wife and three children, especially the youngest of the three.
In order to make money, he crossed the ocean to China, but he could only leave his children and wife in his hometown.
At this time, he couldn't help but take out a pocket watch from his pocket, and when the pocket watch was opened, it was a family photo.
Above is their family of five, which is his belief in life.
This pocket watch was quietly brought to the island by him with the program team on his back, after all, the program team strictly restricts the contestants from carrying personal belongings.
Originally, Clark only dared to sneak in the dead of night and when the camera boy was not there, but now he took a risk and took a risk.
Fortunately, Chen Zhe and the others didn't see this scene, and the camera brother didn't capture his small movements.
After glancing at his family, Clark quickly hid the watch in his pocket.
It's just that although he can hide this pocket watch, he can't hide his longing for his family.
In Chen Zhe's melodious singing, Clark seemed to recall his wife's advice and the laughter of his children.
"Oh my darling, my angels...... Daddy misses you so much......"
Clark muttered under his breath.
Speaking of this, the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't help but flow.
Under the reflection of the red bonfire, Clark, a tough guy with a scarred face, actually shed tears......
At this time, Chen Zhe's "500miles" also came to an end.
He slowly opened his eyes, made a curtain call, and smiled, "I hope you like it." ”
The audience all gave warm applause, and Yan'er and Lia Tila screamed with excitement.
At this moment, a round of applause suddenly came from Mr. Clark's position.
