"The Butterfly Effect"
綠色是旁白，紅色是我的注解。
Some people want to forget the past, some people want to change it.
...remember we were kids and I used to have those blackouts?
blackout一般來說指停電，也有失去知覺的意思，也許是因為暈倒的時候也是一片漆黑跟停電一樣吧。
Some of those memories - they're coming back to me.
There are moments of life what we choose to remember,
生命裡的某些片刻/瞬間 moments of life
Do you think that we'll be together forever?
we will be together forever...哈 很常見到
hahahaha......
and some memory, we can never forget.
All I know is, by reading these journals........(聽不出來~"~)
I think twice about what you are doing.
You could wake up a lot more **** up than you are now.
I haven't seen results like this before.
But what if you could go back in time.
in time - 及時 (eg. I was just in time for school. )
Relaxed
Think of it like a movie.
You can pause ..rewind ..or slow down
pause 暫停 rewind 倒退 forward 前進
Could you save the one person that matters the most
matter 是一個很常用的單字，當動詞的話是"認為…重要/值得"，所以the person matters the most就是對你來說最重要的人，one 是加強與語氣。而matter當名詞的話，指"事情,問題"
Honey, are you alright?
Kelly! it's..you. Incredible!
Incredible - 難以置信的。credit這個字妳應該很熟悉，credit card 信用卡，所以credit有 信任/信用 的意思。而後面加上-ble就變成形容詞"可信的"，比如說eat變成eatable, drink變成drinkable。
credible前面在加上否定的In- 就變成難以置信了!
I lost you once and I'm not losing you again.
lost是lose的過去式和過去分詞
You never lost me! what are you talking about?
what are you talking about? - 妳在說什麼?? 很實用呢!
You got a nice life.
You stay away from us you .....
stay away from... - 離...遠一點
ahhhhhh...
What about Kelly? Is she alright?
if I can go back to the beginning. I might be able to save her.
be able to - 有辦法，有能力
Just tell me if you see anything weird.
blablablabla (聽不懂)
change one thing
Kelly ... That you were happy once ...with me.
once - 曾經
change everything
Why don't you go back and save me?
How are you doing this?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
would指未來的時間, 所以當你想要表是我未來不會怎樣怎樣，就可以用 I wouldn't + V
You can't change who(what) pepole are without destorying who they were.
destory - 毀滅，破壞。這句話很有意思，妳想改變一個人就必須毀滅他的過去。哈，我不太會翻。
Everytime I tried to help someone ..everythings just goes wrong
goes wrong - 這個片語也很常用，就像字面上的意思，走到錯的方向，出錯。
oh my god, what do we do? (?)
you can't play GOD!
play在這裡當扮演，演戲就用這個字。

英文閱讀：
這篇文章裡有幾個生活中常會聽到的氣體名稱，碳、氫、氧、甲烷和二氧化碳。
Something About Fart
When you eat, you don't swallow just your food. You also swallow air, which contains gases like nitrogen and oxygen. Small amounts of these gases travel through your digestive system as you digest your food.
Other gases like hydrogen, carbon dioxide (the gas that makes soda fizzy), and methane are made when food is broken down in the large intestine.
All of these gases in the digestive system have to escape somehow, so they come out as farts!

Raindrops - Regina Spektor
You don't know but that's okay
You might find me anyway
Don't you know that i
Belong arm in arm with you, baby
In a town that's cold and gray
We will have a sunny day
Don't you know that i
Belong arm in arm with you, baby
I do not know
Where does it go
When it goes
Suddenly though
Everything's slow
And i miss you so
Round each corner there's a chance
People searching glance to glance
Moving bout real fast
Like insects and fish when they're scared
And they sing the same old song
Though it's been so very long
They sing, raindrops falling on my head
But that doesn't mean that i am dead
And i do not know
Where does it go
When it goes
Suddenly though
Everything's slow
And i miss you so
You don't know but that's okay
You might find me anyway

Khalil Fong - Orange Moon
there we sat among the thousand
fools just like us
but not so in love like us
there we spoke of all my feelings
and dreams were born like that
and we hope for love like that
now your dreams have changed, we're far apart
i don't know when or where to start
deleting you from my mind
i want to stand with you again
i hope to find you here again in the eternal sunshine
i'll search for the orange moon
that lit up our love on the ocean
while i held your hand
and i'll watch all the waves from the stones where we gazed to the golden sun
if i see the horizon
glow just the same as it did when we stood on hills
and i'll make the arrangements
just wait on that corner for me
and if you dropped me a line
i'll be sure to make these arrangements
lay your head upon my shoulder
i'll sing a tune or three sweet melodies for thee
softly speak to say 我愛妳
why do you leave
my heart is at your feet
but i'd like to share three words again
parse these words with you again
if you think it's possible
and maybe i can pull you close
whisper in your ear again
that i want you in my life forever
i'll search for the orange moon
lit up our love on the ocean
while i held your hand
and i'll watch all the waves from the stones where we gazed to the golden sun
if i see the horizon
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill
i'll make thee arrangements
just wait on that corner for me
you're like the summer rain that cools me
it soothes me
you are the person i'll pray for everyday
maybe we'll sit on those stairs once again
maybe we won't and i'll have to pretend
you will be here
in my imaginings
faint imaginings
i'll search for the orange moon
lit up our love on the ocean
while i held your hand
and i'll watch all the waves from the stones where we gazed
to the golden sun
if i see the horizon
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill
i'll make the arrangements

Fearless Love
In this book, the vampire sees an unsurpassed attractiveness in Bella. To the vampire, she is practically a delicacy that is fresh and wonderful like no other. Edward swears to protect her, but at the same time, he has to keep himself from hurting her. How can film producers resist such an action-packed love fantasy?
There are four books in the "Twilight" series. The first installment was adapted for the big screen in 2008. The second and third installations will be filmed and released in 2009.
One thing worth mentioning is that Robert Pattinson, the British actor who plays Edward, is avant-garde and attractive in his fashion taste. He overthrows all other vampires and captures the hearts of the young female audiences.
A Young Lady and Vampires
Bella: A young lady who loves sunshine, hates rain, has a maverick personality, and a loner inclination. To give her mother more time to spend with her boyfriend, she decides to live with her father. By doing this, she sets forth on a thrilling romantic adventure.
Edward: With reddish-brown hair, ebony black eyes, a well-proportioned body, and slender fingers, Edward has the ability to read the minds of others, but cannot penetrate Bella's thoughts. He had been seriously ill when he was seventeen years old, but after being cured by his foster father, he became an immortal vampire.
The Cullen family: Is a vampire family that coexists peacefully with humans. The head of the family is a doctor and the foster father of Edward His wife was human while still alive, but now has been turned into a vampire. All their adopted children are pale-skinned vampires.

my heart is at your feet
but i'd like to share three words again
parse these words with you again
if you think it's possible
and maybe i can pull you close
whisper in your ear again
that i want you in my life forever
i'll search for the orange moon
lit up our love on the ocean
while i held your hand
and i'll watch all the waves from the stones where we gazed to the golden sun
if i see the horizon
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill
i'll make thee arrangements
just wait on that corner for me
you're like the summer rain that cools me
it soothes me
you are the person i'll pray for everyday
maybe we'll sit on those stairs once again
maybe we won't and i'll have to pretend
you will be here
in my imaginings
faint imaginings
i'll search for the orange moon
lit up our love on the ocean
while i held your hand
and i'll watch all the waves from the stones where we gazed
to the golden sun
if i see the horizon
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill
i'll make the arrangements
just wait on that corner for me
if you dropped me the line
i'll be sure to make these arrangements

Fearless Love
In this book, the vampire sees an unsurpassed attractiveness in Bella. To the vampire, she is practically a delicacy that is fresh and wonderful like no other. Edward swears to protect her, but at the same time, he has to keep himself from hurting her. How can film producers resist such an action-packed love fantasy?
There are four books in the "Twilight" series. The first installment was adapted for the big screen in 2008. The second and third installations will be filmed and released in 2009.
One thing worth mentioning is that Robert Pattinson, the British actor who plays Edward, is avant-garde and attractive in his fashion taste. He overthrows all other vampires and captures the hearts of the young female audiences.

功課：
1. coldplay - the scientist 看著歌詞，把歌聽兩遍，可以的話就跟著一起唱吧。
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh lets go back to the start.
Running in circles, Coming in tails
Heads on a science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.
I was just guessing at numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start.
Running in circles, Chasing tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy,
Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm going back to the start.
