Unit 4 Sharing
The song We Are the World not only brought food to the hungry in Africa and saved tens of thousands of lives, but also ignited the hope in our hearts. No matter what country, what race, whether friends or strangers, when they are in deep trouble, we must do everything we can to help them and light up the world with love.
《天下一家》这首歌不仅给非洲饥民送去了食物,挽救了数以万计的人的生命,也点燃了我们心中的希望。无论哪个国家,哪个种族,无论是朋友还是陌生人,当他们深陷灾难时,我们都要竭尽所能去帮助他们,用爱点亮世界。
We Are the World
There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending① day by day
That someone,somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth—you know love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Well, send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand②
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
…
天下一家
当我们听到了恳切的呼唤
全世界应该团结一致
有些地方的人们正逐渐死亡
是该伸出援手的时候了
对生命而言,这是最好的礼物
我们不能日复一日地伪装下去了
在某些地方总有人要改变
我们都是上帝的大家族中的一员
事实上,我们需要的就是爱
四海皆一家,我们都是世界的孩子
创造美好的未来要靠我们
所以,让我们开始奉献自己
我们正在做的抉择
是在拯救自己的生命
我们真的可以创造更美好的明天
就靠你和我
将你的心传递给他们
让他们明白有人关心他们
他们的生命才能更坚强、自由
如同上帝启示我们的
借着把石头变成面包这件事
我们都应该伸出援手才对
四海皆一家,我们都是世界的孩子
创造美好的未来要靠我们
所以,让我们开始奉献自己
