优才英语秀-I don't want to miss a thing-Kelly何丹彤

Good evening everyone! Now you are listening to the English show presented by Only For the Top One in Beijing New Oriental School. I’m Kelly and Kelly hates to be the one to say long time no see every time. But since I can also get to be the one to say “we’re officially back!” so I’ll let it go. In the crazy summer when everyone in our team had so many lectures to give, I kind of missed our show and I missed the time when we could share some good music together and I was also worried that I may have missed the connection and bond we have built in the past two years. Why am I keeping saying miss? Because the song you can hear now is called I don’t want to miss a thing from Aerosmith. Recently this song was performed in a very popular talent show which made more people get to know it. But the very first version I heard of this song is an impressive live show by the original vocalist Steven Victor. I’m not the biggest fan of rock music or any rock band. But I surprisingly found that this one, which is called power ballad or sentimental ballad according to wikipedia, has its own glamor. The tenderness coming along with the sentimental and narrative lyrics somehow become more touching and attractive in contrast to the power and passion of the music. Listen for yourself. All the lyrics in this song are very straightforward and easy to understand such as “I could stay awake just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you're sleeping. My favorite one is “I could spend my life in this sweet surrender” In most cases surrender means agreeing to stop fighting because you know you will not win. 在大多数语境下，我们把surrender翻成投降，屈服。 那这里应该怎么翻译“I could spend my life in this sweet surrender”? 在网上我看到的版本是”我可以用我的一生换你的温柔“，如果是我来翻译的话,为了与surrender更加对应，我可能会翻译成“我愿意一生都臣服于你的柔情”。不知道大家会怎么翻呢? Have a try and I’m looking forward to being amazed by your translation. I’d like to quote another piece from the lyrics to end tonight’s show. Every moment spent with U is a moment I treasure. Hope you feel the same way. Have a good night.
