中英歌詞
我想過要去到洛杉磯，因為提起洛杉磯，我們想到的詞都是夢幻、富有等等。其實呢洛杉磯還有一個別名——La La Land。洛杉磯的英文是Los Angeles，那麼La La Land其實由Los和Angeles拼成，意思是這裡是一片歡樂而且並不嚴肅的樂土，有時甚至與現實脫節。所以呢這個詞在美國俚語中表示虛幻的地方。在音樂中學習點滴英語，您正收聽到的是來自於可可英語網的《聽歌學英語》， 我是主播Canace，你也可以親切地叫我的中文暱稱潔瑜，那麼今天聽到的這首"La La Land"來自於歌手Jax，96年的金牛座小美女是American Idol第十四季的季軍。La La Land是根據Jax選秀經歷寫的。一口饒舌和微醺的唱腔會不會讓你喜歡呢？
