We’ve Only Just Begun - The Carpenters. 我们才刚刚开始
我们才刚刚开始——木匠们. Wǒmen cái gānggāng kāishǐ——mùjiàngmen.
They are The Carpenters - Richard and Karen Carpenter, brother and sister duo singers. 他们是 The Carpenters - Richard 和 Karen Carpenter，兄妹二人组歌手。
Richard (born 1946) and Karen (1950 - 1983) together produced a distinctive brand of soft music that both Lin and I love to listen. Amongst their best that we like are (not in any order, as we love all these pieces): “We’ve Only Just Begun”; “Yesterday Once More”; “A Kind of Hush”; and “Close to You”. 理查德（生于 1946 年）和凯伦（1950 - 1983 年）共同创作了一种独特的软音乐品牌，玉连和我都喜欢听。我们最喜欢的其中包括（不按任何顺序，因为我们喜欢所有这些作品）：“我们才刚刚开始”； “昨日重现”; “一种安静”；和“靠近你”。
It is a pity that Karen died young at 33, suffering from heart failure due to her prolonged struggle with anorexia. 遗憾的是，凯伦在 33 岁时英年早逝，因长期与厌食症作斗争而导致心力衰竭。
Without further ado, let us listen to their first song presented here: “We’ve Only Just Begun”. 事不宜迟，让我们来听听他们在这里呈现的第一首歌：“我们才刚刚开始”。
We’ve Only Just Begun by the Carpenters
We’ve only just begun to live; White lace and promises; A kiss for luck and we’re on our way
(We’ve only begun)
Before the rising sun, we fly; So many roads to choose. We’ll start out walking and learn to run
(And yes, we’ve just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us. Watching the signs along the way. Talking it over, just the two of us
Working together day to day Together…
And when the evening comes, we smile. So much of life ahead. We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
(And yes, we’ve just begun)

Working together day to day Together, Together …
And when the evening comes, we smile. So much of life ahead. We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
And yes, we’ve just begun.
我们才刚刚开始. 由木匠
我们才刚刚开始生活. 白色蕾丝和承诺. 一个幸运之吻，我们正在路上
（我们才刚刚开始）
太阳升起前，我们飞翔. 这么多路可以选择. 我们将开始走路并学习跑步
（是的，我们才刚刚开始）
分享对我们来说新的视野. 一路看路标. 商量一下，就我们两个
每天一起工作一起
当夜幕降临时，我们微笑. 未来的生活如此之多. 我们会找到一个有成长空间的地方

The second Carpenter song we like is “Yesterday Once more” - https://youtu.be/YTaWayUE5XA. 我们喜欢的第二首 Carpenter 歌曲是 “昨日重现”.
Yesterday Once More. by the Carpenters
When I was young, I’d listen to the radio
Waiting for my favourite songs; When they played I’d sing along It made me smile.
Those were such happy times, And not so long ago, How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again; Just like a long lost friend - All the songs I loved so well.
(Chorus:)
Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o. Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling. That they’re starting to sing’s. So fine.
When they get to the part; Where he’s breaking her heart. It can really make me cry. Just like before. It’s yesterday once more.
Verse 2:
Looking back on how it was; In years gone by. And the good times that I had. Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that. I would sing to then. And I’d memorise each word
Those old melodies. Still sound so good to me; As they melt the years away.
(Chorus x 2)
昨日重现
由木匠
我小的时候
我会听广播
等待我最喜欢的歌曲
当他们演奏时，我会一起唱歌
它让我微笑。
那是多么幸福的时光
不久前
我多么想知道他们去了哪里
但他们又回来了
就像失散多年的朋友
我非常喜欢的所有歌曲。
（合唱：）
每一个沙拉啦啦
每一个呜呜呜
依然闪耀
每一个 shing-a-ling-a-ling
他们开始唱歌
如此精细。
当他们到达那个部分
他让她心碎的地方
它真的可以让我哭泣
就像从前一样
又是昨天。
回首过去
在过去的岁月里
和我曾经拥有的美好时光
让今天看起来很悲伤
变化太大了。
那是情歌
我会唱歌到那时
我会记住每个单词
那些古老的旋律
对我来说还是那么好听
当他们融化了岁月。
（合唱×2）

Song Number 3: “There is a Kind of Hush” - 有一种安静. https://youtu.be/zVYPHeuCvgk
There’s a Kind of Hush by Carpenters
There’s a kind of hush. All over the world tonight
All over the world you can. Hear the sound of lovers in love. You know what I mean.
Just the two of us and nobody else. In sight there’s nobody else and I’m feeling good just holding you tight
So listen very carefully. Get closer now and. You will see what I mean. It isn’t a dream.
The only sound that you will hear. Is when I whisper in your ear. I love you forever and ever.
There’s a kind of hush. All over the world, tonight
All over the world, people. Just like us have fallen in love
So listen very carefully. Get closer now and You will see what I mean. It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear Is when I whisper in your ear. I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush. All over the world, tonight; All over the world, people. You can hear the sounds of lovers in love.
有一种安静
今晚全世界
全世界你都可以
听到恋爱中的恋人的声音
你知道我的意思
只有我们两个，没有其他人
在视线中没有其他人并且
抱着你我感觉很好
所以仔细听
现在靠近一点
你会明白我的意思
这不是梦
你会听到的唯一声音
是当我在你耳边低语
我爱你，直到永远
有一种安静
全世界，今晚
全世界，人们
就像我们坠入爱河一样
所以仔细听
现在靠近一点
你会明白我的意思
这不是梦
你会听到的唯一声音
是当我在你耳边低语
我爱你，直到永远
有一种安静
全世界，今晚
全世界，人们
你可以听到恋爱中的恋人的声音。
Song Number 4: “Close to You” : https://youtu.be/6inwzOooXRU
(They Long to Be) Close to You. by Carpenters.
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be Close to you.
On the day that you were born the angels got together. And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town. Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be. Close to you.
On the day that you were born the angels got together. And decided to create a dream come true,
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town. Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be. Close to you
Just like me, they long to be. Close to you
Wa, close to you. Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you. La, close to you.
（他们渴望成为）靠近你。由木匠。
鸟为什么突然出现
每次靠近？
就像我一样，他们渴望成为
接近你的
为什么星星会从天上掉下来
每次路过？
就像我一样，他们渴望成为
接近你的
在你出生的那天，天使们聚在一起
并决定创造梦想成真
于是他们将月尘洒在你金色的头发上，将星光洒在你蓝色的眼睛里
这就是为什么镇上所有的女孩
跟着你到处走
就像我一样，他们渴望成为
接近你的
在你出生的那天，天使们聚在一起
并决定创造梦想成真
于是他们将月尘洒在你金色的头发上，将星光洒在你蓝色的眼睛里
这就是为什么镇上所有的女孩
跟着你到处走
就像我一样，他们渴望成为
接近你的
就像我一样，他们渴望成为
接近你的
哇，靠近你
哇，靠近你
哈，靠近你
拉，靠近你
