一样的月光
[精彩开场]
 静谧的深夜,透着月的光华,晚归的路人,是否在此刻沉醉?月亮因为古老的神话而异常美丽,因为我们对她有太多的未知而格外神秘;相信一想到moonlight,几许浪漫、几许温馨就会自然在你心头涌动吧。今天,我们要说的就是moonlight。不过,相信大家都知道作为名词的moonlight就是“月光”,但是你是否知道moonlight作为动词的意思呢? 怎么样被难住了吧,先来和Steven看看下面的句子:
These workers moonlight to live on a higher plane. 这些工人靠兼差来提高生活水平。
She moonlights as a waitress to pay her tuition. 她靠兼职做女侍应生来支付学费。
[名词解释] moonlight, 在月光底下进行的事情,望文生义,也就是兼职(v)了。衍生出来,moonlighting 意为兼职(n.),moonlighter是兼职者的意思。Moonlighter是辛苦的,moonlighting也不是人人都吃得消的哦。
怎么样,就好比我们中文当中说的“披星戴月”,月光虽好,却无心赏玩啊。
[作业] 接下来,请大家想两个句子,就用我们今天的moonlight: 1)她过去在夜总会兼职做歌手。 2)我不得不做一份兼职的工作,这样我才能租得起靠近公司的一间公寓。
最后请大家欣赏Vanessa Williams的《Moonlight over Paris》

Moonlight Over Paris
You say you've been overseas I say over where You say just a holiday My Alsatian heir I say I've been working late, working overtime Haven't seen that sun since sixty-nine
Does the moonlight shine on Paris After the sun goes down If the London Bridge is falling Will anybody hear a sound If you follow the sunset will it ever end Does the moonlight shine on Paris
Oh and how can you just walk away Is it something that I said I see only black and white You see green and red You believe in the miracles Water into wine I'll believe it when it makes the New York Times
Does the moonlight shine on Paris After the sun goes down If the London Bridge is falling Will anybody hear a sound If you follow the sunset will it ever end Does the moonlight shine on Paris
1)It's simply moonlight.
It's simply moonlight, silver quiet, spilling over forest edges. I wanted something more - shouting, or screaming. Bright burning lighting up the sky "It's Here!" maybe fireworks, or explosions. But it's simply moonlight, silver fine - cool and soothing, a little exciting. It's simply moonlight, river flowing, washing over waiting fields. Water reaches to my ankles though I wish for floods to sweep away. Yet in gentle tide is sweetness better far than any hot inferno. It's simply moonlight, warming embers, gentle fires lit for spring; body's rhythm slowing gently seems to understand this call. I turn my back on mad display and embrace the light.
