Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax——sina.com称为中国最唯美的英文电台女声!而事实也是:2006年年度网络下载量高居英语类节目榜首。
一次偶尔的在书店里看到一本书,书名是不太记得了,现在想来,应该就是《Faith轻松电台第一季》吧,附带了几盒音带,书皮上印满溢美之辞,甚至还有一些网友的讨论留言,说的好像是:晨跑时想听,晚睡时他也想听……没钱买嘛,我就只能找找网址什么的记一下了。可惜没有,回来之后,一搜索,还真是不少指向链接……
听过几期之后,我还真有点喜欢这些节目了:每期节目由主持人Faith朗诵(我个人觉得应该叫朗诵吧)一篇文章,文章自觉还不是很难吧,几乎没有什么生僻单词和语法,听了十多期了,几乎都是相当于心灵鸡汤之类比较优美,出名的文章,当然,好像也有主持人Faith自己作的,文字稿在在线播放页面同时显示。每期节目3—5分钟。
另外值得一提的是她的背景音乐,sina.com 介绍Faith 轻松电台有这样一段话:“悠扬的音乐和让人感动的声音及文字令你对英语欲罢不能!它可以在你学习和工作的时候作为背景音乐让你放松!也可以在深夜给你悦耳的慰藉伴你入睡!……高品质,高清晰,高舒适度的音响效果会让大家犹如聆听天籁之声的感觉,在欣赏英语美的同时,还能体会到心灵被触动的震撼。”
好了,就不多说什么了,有兴趣的同学试着去听一下吧,希望你会连同英语一起喜欢上它。
下面摘录一期节目(轻点查看原页面),请你欣赏——’

April Showers Bring May Flowers ( 四月雨带来五月花 )
(四月里的豪雨,会带来五月里的繁花似锦……势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚,但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季,请坚持住,因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……)
Farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. They know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest;Everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of May.
But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. Everything has its place.
Remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, and I’m Faith. Thanking you for listening to today’s program, goodbye.
(全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种,哪个季节收获,每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下,迫使所有的户外劳作停止,但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便,但是他知道,雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨,会带来五月里的繁花似锦。
但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼,它给那些正经历着 人生 磨难的人带来无限希冀。此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!
请谨记:势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚,但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季,请坚持住,因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……
您正在收听的是Faith轻松电台,我是Faith。谢谢收听今天的节目,再见。)
(Sometimes things which at the moment may be perceived as obstacles–and actually be obstacles, difficulties, or drawbacks–can in the long run result in some good end which would not have occurred if it had not been for the obstacle.
有时候某些事情在目前看来似乎是障碍,事实上也的确是障碍、困难或劣势,从长远来看,它们却成为了成功的原因。
因为没有了它们,成功将无从谈起。)
