Your summer just got a little groovier.你的夏天可以变得更加美妙一点。
The White House joined Spotify — and our inaugural playlist was hand-picked by none other than President Obama. When asked to pick a few of his favorite songs for the summer, the President got serious. He grabbed a pen and paper and drafted up not one, but two separate summer playlists: One for the daytime, and one for the evening.白宫加入了Spotify——而且我们的首张播放列表就是由——不是别人正是总统奥巴马精心挑选的。当总统奥巴马被要求挑选一些适合夏天听的、他十分喜爱的歌曲时,总统神情严肃十分认真。他拿起纸笔写下了(不是一张而是两张)不同的夏日播放列表:一张白日歌单,一张夜晚歌单。
注:Spotify是全球最大的正版流媒体音乐服务平台之一。

Night夜之歌单
The nighttime playlist, on the other hand, slows it down a bit with some jazz and soul. "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by Al Green, "You Don't Know Me" by Ray Charles, and "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone all make the list, which honestly makes me want to pour a glass of red wine and light some candles.而夜间的播放列表则较为舒缓,有一些爵士和灵魂乐。约翰·柯川的《我最爱的事》、阿尔·格林的《破碎的心无法修补》、雷·查尔斯的《你不懂我》以及尼娜·西蒙尼的《感觉很棒》说实话都让我想要倒一杯红酒点几根蜡烛。
