| 從用語中聽出流行 這些出於歌詞的用語，是當今流行文化中不可或缺的元素！
1. “YOLO” (“You Only Live Once”) Definition Use to express the opinion that one should make most of the present moment without worrying about the future and its consequences (often to support why they are giving in to impulsive behaviors or decisions) 人生只有一次，不應該想太多，去做就對了。 Sara: I can’t believe I signed up for this dance contest. I can’teven dance for my life. Sara:真不敢相信我真的報名了跳舞比賽。我根本不會跳舞。 Ben: Wow, at least you’re trying new things！ Ben:哇！至少你勇敢嘗試啦！ Sara: Yeah…YOLO！ Sara:也是……人生只有一次！ Max: I have an exam next week but all my friends want to go to Las Vegas this weekend for Tim’s birthday… Max:下星期有大考，但其他人週末想去拉斯維加斯慶祝Tim的生日……。 Rachel: Just go because YOLO！ Rachel: 去啦！去啦！人生只有一次！ 2. “Bling” Definition A piece of showy jewelry that displays wealth. 象徵財富的奢華珠寶。 The celebrities showed up at the red carpet in all their bling. 紅毯上的名人們佩戴著昂貴的首飾爭奇鬥豔。 I’ll add some bling to my outfit for the party tonight. 為了今晚的派對，我會在服裝加上一些奢華的點綴。 3. “That’s Cray” Definition A very informal and colloquial way of saying “that’s crazy”. “Cray” just means “crazy” 太誇張了吧！（”cray”就是“crazy”的口語說法） I can’t believe he said that to me.
