今天班班给大家推荐的是一首暖心的情歌！[爱心]
Charlie Puth——《One Call Away》
 
🍃 Lyrics :
 
I'm only one call away
只要一个电话我便出现在你身边
I'll be there to save the day
陪伴着你 为你带来美好一天
Superman got nothing on me
就算是超人也很难像我这样及时出现
I'm only one call away
而我就能随叫随到听候你的差遣
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
若你需要陪伴 就直接给我来电
I just wanna give you love
我会让爱围绕在你身边
 
 
我是分隔线
 
 
🎈 Background：
歌曲的创作灵感源自于查理·普斯一位朋友的感情经历。那位朋友与女友相隔很远，这使他很心碎，因为不能每天见到女友。随后，查理·普斯想写首歌告诉朋友其实有时一个电话就能缓解相隔两地的思恋。于是查理·普斯就渐渐完成了《One Call Away》。歌曲明快和甜蜜的曲风，使欣赏者听得心底一阵暖风 。💘

as safe as houses

😌说说你对这句话的理解吧
Don’t worry! I keep my money in the bank where it’s as safe as houses.

💓答案揭晓
⛅“如果有人对一件事是否安全心存疑虑，我们就可以用表达 “as safe as houses 像房子一样安全” 来安慰他们此事 “绝对安全、十分保险”。

🐺据说，这个英式表达源自维多利亚时代。因为在那时，相对于高风险的铁路股票来说，投资房产 houses 要安全得多，所以人们开始用 “as safe as houses” 这个说法来形容某件事情非常安全，没有风险。
🍷例句
Don’t worry! I keep my money in the bank where it’s as safe as houses.
别担心！我的钱存在银行里，那里是绝对安全的。

⭐️电影推荐⭐️
又到周五的电影时间啦！ 班班要为大家安利一部非常好看的电影：
《Like Sunday, Like Rain》 

影片介绍：故事讲述在一个夏天，贫穷女生Eleanor为了生计去给一名12岁的孩子当保姆。Eleanor同时也是一名音乐家，而12岁的孩子则是音乐神童，相处之下他们在彼此间找到自我.... “It's hard to believe it's only been a couple of months, I feel like I've known you.”“很难相信我和你只相处了几个月，但却像经历了一辈子…”高山流水，知音难觅。如沐春风的忘年交，相遇不一定要有爱情发生。生活中，有些人和你相遇，一起分享生命中的一段时光，然后匆匆离开，或许再无交集，但他/她对你的影响却一直留存下来，让你成为现在的你。 借用廖一梅在《柔软》中的那句话，在人的一生里，遇到爱，遇到性都不稀罕，稀罕的是遇到了解。你的生命中曾出现过这样一个人吗？你，怀念吗？ 如若你曾看过这部影片，可以重温一遍哦；如果未曾观看，推荐你在某个安静的下午，捎上一杯coffee静静的观赏哦！
