[精彩開場]

靜謐的深夜，透著月的光華，晚歸的路人，是否在此刻沉醉？月亮因為古老的神話而異常美麗，因為我們對她有太多的未知而格外神秘；相信一想到moonlight，幾許浪漫、幾許溫馨就會自然在你心頭涌動吧。今天，我們要說的就是moonlight。不過，相信大家都知道作為名詞的moonlight就是“月光”，但是你是否知道moonlight作為動詞的意思呢? 怎么樣被難住了吧，先來和Steven看看下面的句子：

These workers moonlight to live on a higher plane.
這些工人靠兼差來提高生活水平。

She moonlights as a waitress to pay her tuition.
她靠兼職做女侍應生來支付學費。

[名詞解釋]
moonlight, 在月光底下進行的事情，望文生義，也就是兼職(v)了。衍生出來，moonlighting 意為兼職（n.），moonlighter是兼職者的意思。Moonlighter是辛苦的，moonlighting也不是人人都吃得消的哦。

怎么樣，就好比我們中文當中說的“披星戴月”，月光雖好，卻無心賞玩啊。

[作業]
接下來，請大家想兩個句子，就用我們今天的moonlight:
1)她過去在夜總會兼職做歌手。
2)我不得不做一份兼職的工作，這樣我才能租得起靠近公司的一間公寓。

最后請大家欣賞Vanessa Williams的《Moonlight over Paris》

Moonlight Over Paris

You say you've been overseas
I say over where
You say just a holiday
My Alsatian heir
I say I've been working late, working overtime
Haven't seen that sun since sixty-nine

Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London Bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris

Oh and how can you just walk away
Is it something that I said
I see only black and white
You see green and red
You believe in the miracles
Water into wine
I'll believe it when it makes the New York Times

Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London Bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris

參考答案:

1)她過去在夜總會兼職做歌手。
She used to moonlight as a singer at a nightclub.
2)我不得不做一份兼職的工作，這樣我才能租得起靠近公司的一間公寓。
I have to do a moonlighting job, so that I can afford to rent an apartment near to my company.
