【节目全文可关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语】

这周跟你们分享我喜欢了好多年的宝藏歌曲，One Republic的I lived.

Ryan Tedder wrote the song for his son Copeland Cruz, who was four-years old at the time when Tedder penned the song.

歌词内容是主唱Ryan Tedder的有感而发，也是写给自己当时四岁的儿子的。

这首歌也很适合在你下不了决心做决定的时候听~

真的是每一句歌词都写得很好：

Hoping you take that jump

希望你纵身一跃

But don't fear the fall

不惧深渊

Hope when the water rises

希望当潮水涌起

You built a wall

你已经筑起了高墙

Hoping the crowd screams out

希望人群呼喊

Screaming your name

唤着你名

Hope if everybody runs

希望所有人都逃离的时候

You chose to stay

你仍选择坚守

Hope that you fall in love

希望你坠入爱河

And it hurts so bad

尽管受伤

The only way you can know

你要懂得的唯一一件事

Is give it all you have

便是倾尽所有

And I hope that you don't suffer

我希望当你感到痛苦

But take the pain

微笑面对

Hope when the moment comes

我希望大限来临的时候

You'll say

你可以说

I I did it all

我都做过了

I I did it all

我都做过了

I owned every second

我用尽了每一秒时间

That this world could give

感激世界的给予

I saw so many places

我见过了名山大川

And things that I did

做了我想做的事情

Of every broken bone

所以对我的每根断骨

I swear I lived

我发誓，我活过

Hope that you spend your days

希望你安度每日

But they all add up

终有所获

And when that sun goes down

当日落西山

Hope you raise your cup

你仍能举杯畅饮

I wish that I could witness

我希望我可以看到

All your joy

你所有的欢乐

And all your pain

还有悲伤

But until my moment comes

但是当我的大限到来

I'll say

我仍会说

I I did it all

我，爱过，恨过

I I did it all

我，痛过，伤过

I owned every second

我用尽了每一秒时间

That this world could give

感激世界的给予

I saw so many places

我见过了名山大川

And things that I did

做了我想做的事情

Of every broken bone

所以对我的每根断骨

I swear I lived

我发誓，我活过

Tedder is encouraging his son to live fearlessly, to face all the challenges, and to see "so many places," and that he can look at his life with no regrets because he would have basically “done it all.”

There also have been pains and failures – or as Tedder puts it "broken bone(s)." However, by embracing these hardships, at the end of the day he is able to “swear” that indeed he has "lived."

Tedder希望儿子能无所畏惧地去享受生活，去经历所有的痛苦和快乐，

去面对所有的挑战，到达过很多地方，

等到哪天回望自己这辈子，可以有底气说自己已经“活过了”。

而这首歌的MV也很燃，记录了一个出生就得了囊肿性纤维化 (Cystic fibrosis)疾病的青少年的成长。他也是One Republic的粉丝。

The song's music video pays tribute to One Republic’s teenage fan, Bryan Warnecke, and his struggles living with cystic fibrosis. [ˌsɪstɪk faɪˈbrəʊsɪs]

Bryan says in the music video:

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that attacks the digestive system and slowly shuts down the lungs. I've been doing my treatments every day of my life, so to me, it’s just one of those things that’s normal.

I've been living with cystic fibrosis for fifteen years...

Bryan在MV里说，囊性纤维化是一种侵袭消化系统

并且缓慢减弱肺部功能的疾病。

他的一生中每一天都在做治疗，所以对他来说，这只是非常正常的事情之一。

When I first found out the life expectancy for the first time, it really scared me. Right now, it’s just one of those things that really makes you appreciate life. It makes me appreciate where you are, as a person.

最开始知道自己有这个疾病的时候很恐惧，

但现在它只是一件让他无比感恩生活的事情。

Bryan也像正常人一样尝试了很多事情，像踩单车、冲浪，

一次次摔了再一次次爬起来。

It feels like I’m breathing through a straw. Whenever I try to breathe hard, it hurts. I want to make the most out of my life and have as much fun as I possibly can and my biggest fear is not being able to do that.

对他来说呼吸就像是通过一根吸管在呼吸，稍微用力就能感觉到疼痛。

所以他只希望自己在有限的生命里能够尽情享受生活，

最大的恐惧就是——没机会这样做了。

This year, Bryan and his teammates have ridden over 1,200 miles and raised $300,000 for Cystic Fibrosis research.

Bryan还和他的队友一起骑行了1200英里，

为囊性纤维化疾病的研究募捐到了30万美金。

在MV最后是Bryan骑行到了One Republic演唱会的画面，这也算是实现了他作为粉丝的梦想了。

希望我们也能像Bryan一样、像这首歌里唱的一样——to live fearlessly.
