通常，我们时下接触到的外国音乐，都是来自英国或美国，少有机会听到其他地方的歌曲。譬如，来自德国的歌手，你又认识多少个？在印象中，笔者近年只说得出一队 boy-band “Bed & Breakfast”的名字。 Sarah Connor 同样来自德国，名字相当陌生。然而《Unbelievable》已是她的第二张个人专辑。与大多唱 R & B / hip-hop 的歌手一样，她小时都有参加教会诗歌班唱 gospel，唱功有一定水准。听著她的唱片，发觉原来德国流行音乐，与我们一向听开的没甚分别。Sarah Connor 的 No. 1 Single 《From Sarah With Love》，是典型过典型的美式 R & B 。再看制作名单，始发现唱片制作班底大家一点也不陌生；为 Whitney Houston、Destiny's Child、 Mary J. Blige 监制的 Wyclef Jean，创作了《One Nite Stand (Of Wolves And Sheep)》之余，也客串了 guest vocal。著名创作人 Diana Warren 也给她写了首《I Wanna Touch U There》。 不能因为一张唱片，就说德国音乐没有原创性。只是，单单看 Sarah Connor 这张《Unbelievable》，笔者“不能相信”专辑是来自德国，而非阿美利坚！
Wait Til U Hear From Me
张惠春 后来翻唱过，歌名是《Honey? Money?》

Just one last dance（链接速度比较慢，请大家等一分钟左右就可以了）

The One Where No One Proposes [Season 9 Episode 1] _________________________________ Aired Sept. 26, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. Written by: Sherry Bilsing-Graham & Ellen Plummer Transcribed by: Eric Aasen [Scene: Rachel's Room, Joey moves Ross's coat to get the tissues Rachel wants and the engagement ring box Mrs. Geller gave him falls out of the pocket it was inside. Joey goes to one knee, picks up the box, opens it, and sees that it's an engagement ring.] Rachel: Joey. (He turns to face Rachel on one knee with the box open.) Rachel: (seeing the ring) Oh my God. (Pause) Okay. (Joey is stunned.) [Cut to Ross getting of an elevator carrying a bouquet of flowers and walking down the hall to Rachel's room.] [Cut back into Rachel's room.] Rachel: So uh - I guess we should - make it official huh? Joey: Uh - Look Rach - (Ross enters.) Hey Ross is here! Hey look! It's my good friend Ross. Hey Ross. Ross: Hey Joey. (To Rachel) Hey you. Rachel: Hey you. Joey: Hey and look he brought flowers. Thanks Ross, but I'm really more of a candy guy. (Laughs.) Ross: You're weird today. (He turns to Rachel and Joey puts the ring back.) (To Rachel) Listen I uh, wanted to talk to you about something. Rachel: Uh yeah, actually I kinda need to talk to you too. Ross: Uh Joey, can you give us just a minute? Joey: No. Ross: What? Joey: Oh, I'm sorry. I meant no. Monica: (entering with everyone else including Mr. Geller) Hi! Hey look who's here! Mr. Geller: Where's my granddaughter? I've been practicing my magic tricks. Chandler: He pulled a quarter out of my ear! Ross: Hey, where's uh, where's mom? Mr. Geller: She went to pick up Aunt Liddy. Monica: Oh, Aunt Liddy's coming? That means we get five dollars each! Mr. Geller: So when do I get to meet Emma and show her this? (Pulls a bouquet of flowers out of his sleeve.) Chandler: Okay. Wow. Ross: Uh Dad, Emma's in the nursery. I'll take you now. If you want, but (To Rachel) I really want to talk to you. Rachel: I know, I still need to talk to you. Joey: Oh hey but, before you guys do that (To Rachel) I need to talk to you, and Ross, I need to talk to you. Phoebe: (To Monica) Oh and I need to talk to you. Monica: About what? Phoebe: To see if you know what these guys are talking about. Opening Credits [Scene: Outside the Nursery, everyone but Rachel is standing and looking into the window.] Monica: Isn't she beautiful? Mr. Geller: Look at her, my first grandchild. Ross: What about Ben? Mr. Geller: Well of course Ben, I meant my first granddaughter. (To Monica, mouths) Wow. Phoebe: (taking Ross aside) Have umm, have you thought anymore about you and Rachel? Ross: Oh well yeah, actually I was going to talk to her when you guys all came in the room. Phoebe: Yay! It's so exciting! Wow, you could've done that with us there. Ross: Yeah right. Phoebe: Oh sure okay, you can touch yourself in front of us but you can't talk to Rachel. Ross: What?! When have I ever touched myself in front of you guys? Phoebe: Oh please! Just before when you were asleep in the lounge! That Armenian family was watching you instead of the TV. Oh, that reminds me. That Mr. Hasmeje still has my Gameboy. Joey: (taking Chandler aside) Hey Chandler, can I talk to you for a second? Chandler: Sure. Joey: Dude I just did something terrible. Chandler: That was you?! I thought it was Jack! Joey: No! No, that was Jack! Rachel thinks I asked her to marry me! Chandler: What?! Why does she think that? Joey: Because it kinda looked like I did. Chandler: Again, what?! Joey: Okay well, I was down on one knee with the ring in my hand - Chandler: As we all are at some point during the day. Joey: It wasn't my ring! It fell out of Ross's jacket! And when I knelt down to pick it up Rachel thought I was proposing! Chandler: Ross had a ring?! And he was gonna propose? Joey: I guess. Chandler: And you did it first?! This is gonna kill him! You know how much he loves to propose! Joey: I know! I know it's awful. Chandler: Well, what did she say? Joey: (happily) She said yes. Chandler: Does Ross know? Joey: Oh God, what the hell am I going to tell him? Chandler: Well maybe you don't have to tell him anything. Joey: Oh, I like that. Yeah - Chandler: If you clear things up with Rachel then Ross never needs to find out, but you have to do it now before he hears about it and kicks your ass! Joey: (laughs) Now let's not get carried away. (He walks away as Monica comes over and hugs Chandler from behind.) Monica: I want a baby. Chandler: Honey, we've been over this. I need to be facing the other way. Monica: Come on! Come on, if we have sex again it'll double our chances of getting pregnant. Do you think that closet's still available? Chandler: I'm so tired. (She starts kissing him.) Yeah okay, but no foreplay. Monica: Deal! [Back in front of the nursery window.] Ross: Dad seriously! Y'know you really should see someone about that! Mr. Geller: Noted. Ross: I wanna go talk to Rachel for a minute, are you gonna be okay alone for a bit? Mr. Geller: Are you kidding me, I could stay and look at her forever. Ross: (noticing something) Actually umm - (He turns Mr. Geller's head to look at Emma.) [Scene: Rachel's Room, Phoebe is entering.] Phoebe: Hey! Rachel: Hi. Phoebe: Are you all right? Rachel: Uhh - I think I just got engaged. Phoebe: Oh my God! He did it? Rachel: Well - did you know he was gonna ask me? Phoebe: Are you kidding? I'm like the one who talked him into it. I like to think of myself as the puppet master of the group. Rachel: And you really think this is a good idea? Phoebe: I just talked him into it, don't tell me I have to do you too. The puppet master gets tired, people. Rachel: I just don't know! It just doesn't feel right. Phoebe: Why?! You two are so meant to be together, everybody thinks so. Rachel: Really?! Even Ross? Phoebe: Especially Ross! Joey: (entering) Oh uh, hey Pheebs. Uh y'know what? I'll-I'll come back later. (He goes to leave but runs into Ross who's entering.) Ross: Wow! Kind of uh, kind of a full house here. I'll guess just - I'll come back. (Ross exits followed by Joey.) Phoebe: There he goes, your fianc閑. Rachel: I guess so. Phoebe: Although he does play with himself in his sleep. Rachel: I can't say that I'm surprised. [Scene: A hallway, Joey and Ross find Mr. Geller with his ear up against a janitor's closet door.] Ross: Dad, what are you doing? Mr. Geller: I think there are people in there having sex. (Ross turns to look at Joey.) Joey: It can't be me, I'm standing right here. Mr. Geller: Wanna peek? Ross: No! Mr. Geller: Come on! Ross: Y'know what? I don't like you without mom. (To Joey) Come on. (Walks away.) Joey: (To Ross) We're not peeking? (Follows him.) Mr. Geller: Well I'm peeking. (He peeks.) Oh my God! Chandler: Hello sir, you know Monica. [Scene: Rachel's Room, she is taking the ring out of Ross's jacket, looks at it, and puts it on her finger as Joey enters.] Joey: Hey uh, is it okay to come in? Rachel: Of course! Oh Joey, this ring I - it's beautiful! I love it! Joey: Yeah uh look Rach, there's something I gotta tell ya. (There's a knock on the door and a nurse enters carrying Emma.) Rachel: Hey! Nurse: Hey! Are you ready to try nursing again? Rachel: Yeah! Hi Emma. Hey, why do you think she won't take my breast? Nurse: It's all right honey, it takes some babies a while to get it, but don't worry. It'll happen. Joey: (watching) Yowsa! (Looks away.) Rachel: Okay sweetie, you can do it. Just open up and put it in your mouth. Joey: Dear Lord. Rachel: I'm sorry honey, what were you saying? Joey: Oh uh-uh yeah, I think that - Rachel: Oh look, she's pulling away again! Do you think my nipples are too big for her mouth? (Joey gets embarrassed.) She looks scared. Doesn't she look scared? Joey: Y'know, I don't really know her. Nurse: Why don't we try massaging the breast to stimulate the flow. (Does so.) Joey: (To God) Are you kidding me?! Rachel: It's just so frustrating! Why doesn't she want my breast?! Joey: I don't know! Maybe she's crazy! (Storms out.) [Scene: The Lobby, Ross is eating a sandwich as Phoebe rushes up to him.] Phoebe: Oh hey! Wait up! Ross: Hi! Phoebe: Congratulations! I didn't want to say anything in front of Joey 慶ause I didn't know if he knew yet. Ross: What, that we had a baby? Come on let's give him a little credit, although he did eat a piece of plastic fruit earlier. Phoebe: No! No, that you and Rachel are engaged! Ross: What? Phoebe: Oh, it's a secret. Oh goodie! Yes! We haven't done the secret thing in a long time. Ross: Phoebe, there is no secret. Okay? I didn't propose. Phoebe: Are you lying? Is this like that time you tried to convince us that you were a doctor? Ross: (pause) I am a doctor! Y'know what? I'm just gonna go and talk to Rachel myself. Phoebe: All right, me too. (They go into her room and see that she's sleeping.) Should we wake her up? Ross: No! No, come on let her sleep! She's so exhausted. Phoebe: And so engaged. (Points to the ring that Rachel is wearing.) Ross: What? (Motions for Phoebe to go outside with him.) Oh my God! She-she thinks we're engaged! Why? Why? Why would she think we're engaged?! Phoebe: Perhaps because you gave her an engagement ring? Y'know Ross, doctors are supposed to be smart. Ross: I didn't give her that ring! Phoebe: Really? Ross: No! Phoebe: So whose ring is it? Ross: It's mine. Phoebe: Is it an engagement ring? Ross: Yes! Phoebe: But you didn't give it to her? Ross: No! Phoebe: But you were going to propose? Ross: No!! Phoebe: Huh, I might be losing interest in this. Ross: Look. Look, my mom gave me that ring because she wanted me to propose to Rachel, but all I wanted to do is see if she maybe - kinda - wanted ah - to start - things up again. Phoebe: Oh, what beautiful lukewarm sentiment. Ross: Look, I didn't want to rush into anything. And it seemed like she didn't want to either. But I don't, I don't understand how any of this happened! What? Did she find the ring in my jacket, assume that I was going to propose, throw it on, and-and just start telling people? Phoebe: No! No, she said you actually proposed to her. Ross: Well I didn't! I didn't propose! (Pause) Unless uh - (Pause) Did I? I haven't slept in forty hours and - it does sound like something I would do. Commercial Break [Scene: The Janitor's Closet, Chandler and Monica are trying to figure out what to do now.] Chandler: Look, we can't stay in here forever. Monica: Oh, I still can't believe my dad saw us having sex! He didn't make it to one of my piano recitals, but this he sees! Chandler: This is okay. We're all adults here; there's nothing to be ashamed of. Now, let's put our underwear in our pockets and walk out the door. (They do so and find Mr. Geller leaning against a wall stunned.) Monica: Hi Dad! I can still call you that right? Mr. Geller: Of course. I'll always be your dad. Chandler: I just want you to know that what you witnessed in there, that wasn't for fun. Monica: It wasn't fun?! Chandler: (To Monica) Why? Why-why-would you梂h-why - (To Mr. Geller) Look, I just don't want you to think that we're animals who do it whenever we want. Mr. Geller: Oh, I don't think that. Before today I never thought of you two having sex at all. It was a simpler time. Monica: The truth is, Dad, we're-we're trying. Mr. Geller: What? Monica: Yeah, we're trying to get pregnant. Mr. Geller: Oh my God! This is so exciting! Well, get back in there! (Points to the closet) I'll guard the door! Monica: Well, that's okay dad, we-we can wait until later. Mr. Geller: Whoa-whoa-whoa! I don't think so! Aren't you ovulating? Monica: Daddy?! Mr. Geller: Well you gotta get at it princess! When your mother and I were trying to conceive you, whenever she was ovulating, bam, we did it. That's how I got my bad hip. Chandler: That's funny, this conversation's how I got the bullet hole in my head. Mr. Geller: This one time I had my knee up on the sink and your mother, she was - Monica: Daddy! I don't think we need to hear about the specific positions you and mom had sex. Mr. Geller: You're right, you're right. This is about your positions. Now, what I saw in the closet is not the optimum position for conceiving a child, although it might feel good. Monica: I don't feel good right now. Mr. Geller: But pleasure is important, (To Chandler) and it helps if the woman has an orgasm. You up to the task sailor? Chandler: Seriously sir, my brains? All over the wall. [Scene: Rachel's Room, Monica is entering.] Monica: Hey. Rachel: Hey. I need to tell you something. Monica: Well, now's a good time. I'm on my way to have my ears cut off. Rachel: Joey asked me marry him. Monica: What? Rachel: Joey proposed to me. Monica: Is he crazy?! You just had Ross's baby! Rachel: Well, I-I said yes. Monica: What?! Are you crazy? You just had Ross's baby! It's-it's so inappropriate. No, it's worse than that. It's wrong. It's - It is bigger than mine! (Rachel's engagement ring.) Rachel: I know. Days of Our Lives, thank you very much. Monica: You can't marry him! Rachel: Why not? I don't want to do this alone! And he's such a sweet guy and he loves me so much. Monica: Well do you love him? Rachel: Sure. Monica: Sure? Rachel: Yeah, I mean whatever. Monica: Honey, the question is - do you really want to marry Joey? Rachel: No. No, I don't. Could you be a dear and go tell him? [Scene: A Hallway, Chandler is following Joey.] Chandler: You still haven't told Rachel you weren't really proposing? Joey: No! She had the ring on, she seemed so excited, and then she took her breast out. Chandler: Joey, you have to tell her what's going on! And what did it look like?! Joey: I didn't look at it. Stupid baby's head was blocking most of it. Chandler: Go and tell Rachel right now before Ross finds out. Joey: Look, it's not that easy. She said she wanted to marry me. I don't want to hurt her. Chandler: Okay, look, just do it gently. Joey: You're right. You're right. I-I'll go tell her now before Ross finds out and I'll be gentle. I can do that. I am a gentle person. Oh, by the way. Two people screwing in there (Points to the closet Chandler and Monica were in) if you want to check that out. [Scene: Rachel's Room, Ross is entering.] Ross: Hey. Rachel: Hey. Ross: Listen, I um - I heard about the engagement. Rachel: Surprised? Ross: And confused. Rach, sweetie, I-I um - I didn't propose to you. Rachel: I know. Ross: I don't think you do. Rachel: You didn't propose to me. Joey did. Ross: Poor baby, you're so tired. Rach, I didn't propose to you, Joey didn't propose to you, and Chandler didn't propose to you. Rachel: Uh - You didn't propose to me, Chandler didn't propose to me, but Joey did. (Joey enters.) Ross: Joey proposed to you? Joey: I can come back. Ross: Hey, wait! Wait-wait-wait! Joey, did you propose to her? Joey: No. Rachel: Yes you did! Joey: Actually, technically, I didn't. Rachel: Well then why did you give me a ring? Ross: Wait! Whoa-whoa, you - you gave her the ring? Joey: No! No, and I did not ask her to marry me! Rachel: Yes, you did! Joey: No, I didn't! Rachel: Yes, you did! Joey: No, I didn't! Rachel: Yes, you did! And don't you say, "No, I didn't!" Joey: Ahhh! Rachel: He was right there. He got down on one knee and proposed. Ross: Whoa! You were down on one knee? Joey: Yeah. Yeah, that looks bad. But I didn't - I didn't propose! Ross: Then what did happen? Rachel: Yeah, what did happen? Joey: Okay, the ring fell on the floor and I went down to pick it up and you thought I was proposing. Rachel: Yeah, but you said, "Will you marry me?" Joey: No, I didn't! Rachel: Yes, you did! Joey: No, I didn't! Rachel: Yes, you did桹h my God you didn't! (Screams) Well then why didn't you tell me that before?! Joey: Well I tried, but people kept coming in and then you took your breast out! Ross: Whoa! Hey! Whoa-whoa-whoa, you saw her breast?! Joey: (To Ross) I'll tell you about it later. Be cool. Rachel: Well then Joey, what the hell were you doing with an engagement ring?! Joey: It wasn't my ring! It's Ross's ring! That's why I felt so bad Rach, because he was going to propose. Ross: What?! Rachel: You were gonna propose to me? Ross: Uhh - No. (An awkward silence follows.) Joey: Well, this is awkward. Ross: But I-I was going to see if y'know, maybe you uh, start dating again but that - I mean that-that was all, Rach. Joey: Dude, step up! I proposed. Ross: No, you didn't! Joey: Oh that's right. There's a lot going on here and I think I ate some bad fruit earlier. (There's a knock on the door and the Nurse enters carrying Emma.) Nurse: Hey, she just woke up! She's hungry. Why don't we give this another try? Rachel: Okay. Ross: (To Joey) I can't believe you told her I was going to propose! Joey: I can't believe you're not going to propose! Ross: Hey, I'm not going to rush into anything! Joey: Oh yeah, dude, I totally understand. Usually after I have a baby with a woman I like to slow things down! Rachel: Oh my God! Ross: What? Rachel: She's doing it Look, she's breast-feeding look! Joey: (looking at the ceiling) Ah, it's beautiful. Nurse: I'll come back for her later. Rachel: Okay. Ross: Thank you. (The nurse exits.) Rachel: Oh wow, this feels weird. Ross: Good weird? Rachel: Wonderful weird. Joey: Y'know what you guys? I'm uh, I'm gonna go too. And uh, I'm sorry about everything. Rachel: Honey don't worry, it was my mistake. Joey: No, Rach, I should've told you sooner. It's just that - Man! That kid is going to town! (Joey makes his awkward exit.) Rachel: She's perfect. Ross: We're so lucky. Rachel: We really are. Ross: Look, I-I know it's not a proposal and I don't know where you are, but with everything that's been going on and with Emma and - I've been feeling - Rachel: I know. I know. I'm feeling - Ross: Yeah? Rachel: Yeah. (Laughs nervously) Ross: Okay, well, that - Wow, okay, well, umm - then maybe, at least we can, we can talk about us again. Rachel: Yeah, maybe. Ross: Well good, okay. I-I, kind of think y'know if we - if - you're wearing the ring.... (Pause.) Rachel: Wh-what's that? Ross: And you told Phoebe you were engaged. Rachel: I'm sorry, what? Ross: When you thought Joey proposed did - did you say yes? Closing Credits [Scene: Outside the Janitor's Closet, there are people having sex and Mr. Geller is trying to give them some pamphlets.] Mr. Geller: Kids, I spoke to a doctor and picked up this pamphlets on how to get pregnant. (He slides them under the door.) Monica: (walking by with Chandler.) Hey dad! Chandler: Hey. Mr. Geller: (pause) Sorry to bother you again, but could you pass my pamphlets back? (They do so.) Thank you. End</body></html></body></html>
Now is not a good time.现在不太方便。

这一对词都是形容词，又都含有“能够”、“能干”之意，但涵义和使用场合有所不同，大致有如下几点区别：
（一）在用作定语表示“能干的”意味时，able所描述的范围较概括，capable所描述的范围较专注，因为前者指某人聪明能干，有多才多艺的概括涵义；后者仅指具有应付某一特指工作要求的能力。例：
She is an able teacher
她是个能干的教师。
She is a capable teacher．
她是个能胜任工作的教师。
（二）able指“能够”，是一时之现象；capable常用以指“能力”，是经常的现象。如：
I shall not be able to come to the office tomorrow．
明天我不能到办公室来（指由于某种原因而暂时不能来）。
She is incapable of manual labour．
她不能从事体力劳动（指由于某种长期或经常的原因，例如患病而不能劳动）。
（三）指某人能作某事时，able之后接动词不定式，capable之后接介词of。例如：
We are able to get back to town before dark．
我们能够天黑之前赶回市区。
They are not capable of doing the work．
他们没有能力做这件工作。
（四）capable除表示“有能力的”意味外，还可用以表示“有可能的”涵义，able则没有这个用法。如：
The situation is capable of improvement．
此情况有可能好转。
That oil tanker is capable of being restored．
那艘油轮有可能修好。
请注意，下列句中的able是用错了，应改为capable：
This book is able to be translated．（错）
This book is capable of being translated．（对）
That law is able to be evaded．（错）
That law is capable of being evaded．（对）
（五） able 一般用作正面意义，指好人好事；capable 则是中性词，既可指好事，亦可指坏事，例如在下例中，capable of anything是表示“任何坏事都做得出来”之意：
That guy is capable of anything！
那家伙什么勾当都会干得出来！
（六） able的反义词是unable；capable的反义词是incapable。另一点值得注意的是，able的名词是 ability，义：“能力”（the power to do）；capable的名词是capability 或 capacity，前者义：“具有从事某事的能力”；后者义：“容量”或“受容力”。需要在此指出的是，ability是可以通过练习或锻炼获得的，而capability则是固有的能力，它与练习或锻炼无关。通过下列例句的对比，我们不难区分其义蕴：
I do not doubt his ability to do the work．
He has the capability to benefit from university education．
第一句的ability是指通过训练或工作磨炼而获得的“能力”；第二句的capability是指天赋之才，与后天无关。
年轻是一首关于春天的歌
总有点羞涩，容易有不舍
总是让朋友笑话自己太多原则。
年轻是一首关于夏天的歌
总有点放肆，容易有固执
只想要对自己的梦想懂得去坚持
年轻是一首关于秋天的歌
总有点悲伤，容易掉眼泪
你可是否愿意陪我一起勇敢面对
年轻是一首关于冬天的歌
总有点忧郁，容易有风雨
当阳光再度探望你我
爱就会放晴
是什么样的年轻不知愁
是什么样的岁月无尽头
随蝴蝶自由飞翔
让生命尽情奔放
缤纷的色彩为四季带来了希望
平凡的我再度希望用我的热情燃起你的热情
