老张侃英语---快乐学英语

I like the fresh start of a New Year. It's the time of year when we make resolutions. 2012 was a good year for me personally: my son was born, which was the best thing for me in 2012. I hope 2013 will be a good year both personally and professionally.

我喜欢新年新气象，又到了展望新年愿景的时候。从我个人生活来说，2012年是美好的一年：儿子的出生对我来说是最幸福的一件事。我希望2013年事业和生活能够双丰收。

Dear son,

10月1号正好是老婆的生日。日子不错，举国欢庆！老婆总是说我不浪漫，所以我就试着浪漫了一下，通过我喜欢的英文电台ICRT送上我的祝福。祝福会通过birthday call-out完成。

很可惜我把电话区号写错了，主持人Joseph通过直播节目，给老婆打了好几次都打不通。好在我把整个过程都录了下来。如果大家感到肉麻的话就只听里面的那首英文歌吧，权当学英语：

和老婆结婚我感到唯一遗憾的是没有向她求婚---她稀里糊涂地就嫁了。可能是我天生不够浪漫，现在看到或听到一些求婚的场景我就会感到肉麻，浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。我现在只能安慰自己：美满的婚姻不在于如何去求婚，而是在于如何去经营婚后生活。

前段时间无意中录了一段别人通过ICRT英文电台求婚的过程，和大家分享如下：

Today is your 100^th day. It seems like just yesterday that the nurse handed you to me—you were so tiny at the time that I was almost scared to touch you. It took a while for me to even realize that I was a father.

今天你已经一百天了。从护士手里接过你的那一刻就像发生在昨天。你当时实在太小了，我都不敢碰你。过了好一会儿我才意识到自己做爸爸了。

If you have a hard time getting to sleep at night, think about all the homeless people without beds. If you are stuck in traffic, think about all the people who can’t afford cars. If you have a bad day at the office, think about all those who are unemployed. If your hair is turning gray, be grateful it’s not turning loose!

如果你晚上睡眠有问题，想想那些无家可归没有床铺的人；如果你开车遇到堵塞，想想那些买不起车的人；如果你在办公室不顺心，想想那些失业的人；如果你的头发开始斑白，要感谢它们还没有脱落！

（有头发烦恼？想想老张！）

I’m one month old today. On behalf of my daddy, Laozhang, I wish you all a very happy Dragon Boat Festival!

我今天满月啦！在此，我代表我的老爸老张，祝大家端午节快乐！

收听ICRT时无意中听到Gotye的这首《Somebody That I Used to Know》，无论是个歌词和旋律都很喜欢！我觉得歌名翻译成《最熟悉的陌生人》比较贴切，当然也有人很搞笑地把它直译成《有些人用过了才知道》。竟然找到了视频，和大家分享如下：
