1.    THINK OF ME

CARLOTTA:

Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye

Remember me once in a while please promise me you'll try

When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free

CHRISTINE:

Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye (副詞子句 (Adverbial Clause)

Remember me once in a while (單句句型 3:S + Vt+ O) please promise me you'll try

When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free

If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me...

We never said our love was evergreen or as unchanging as the sea

But if you can still remember, stop and think of me<

Stanza 詩節

Think of all the things we've shared and seen (形容詞子句 (Adjective Clause)

Don't think about the way things might have been...

Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned (obedient順從的)

Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind

Recall those days. Look back on all those times. Think of the things we'll never do

There will never be a day when I won't think of you...

RAOUL:

Can it be? Can it be Christine? Bravo!

Long ago, it seems so long ago. How young and innocent (純真的) we were.

She may not remember me, but I remember her...

CHRISTINE:

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade. (合句compound Sentence))

They have their season, so do we.

But please promise me that sometimes, you will think of... me!

2.    THE MIRROR (ANGEL OF MUSIC)—29:05

PHANTOM:

Insolent (rude) boy! This slave of fashion basking (曬太陽) in your glory!

Ignorant (foolish) fool! This brave young suitor sharing in my triumph!

CHRISTINE:

Angel! I hear you! Speak, I listen

Stay by my side, guide me! (單句句型 1: S + Vi)

Angel, my soul was weak, forgive me

Enter at last, Master!

PHANTOM:

Flattering child you shall know me,

See why in shadow I hide!

Look at your face in the mirror, I am there inside!

CHRISTINE:

Angel of Music! Guide and guardian!

Grant to me your glory!

Angel of Music! Hide no longer!

Come to me, strange angel...

PHANTOM:

I am your angel of music (單句句型 2: S + Vi+ SC)...

Come to me, angel of music...

I am your angel of music...

Come to me, angel of music

3.    THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (31:27)

CHRISTINE:

In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came

That voice which calls to me and speaks my name

And do I dream again for now I find

The Phantom (ghost, 鬼魅) of the Opera is there, inside my mind...

PHANTOM:

Sing once again with me, our strange duet (雙人唱)

My power over you grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me to glance behind

The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind...

CHRISTINE:

Those who have seen your face draw back in fear,

I am the mask you wear... (複合句Compound-Complex Sentence)

...It's me they hear

Your (my) spirit and my (your) voice in one combined

He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...

Sing, my angel of music...

Sing, my angel...

Sing for me...

Sing...

Sing, my angel...

Sing for me!

I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne

To this kingdom where all must pay homage to (致敬) music, music...

You have come here for one purpose (目標) and one alone

Since the moment I first heard you sing,

I have needed you with me to serve (服務) me, to sing for my music, my music...

4.    THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT (35:31)

PHANTOM:

Night time sharpens (敏銳), heightens (強化) each sensation (感覺)

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defenses...

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour

Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender

Turn your face away from the garish (bright, 炫耀的) light of day,

Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to (屈從) your darkest dreams!

Purge (淨化) your thoughts of the life you knew before!

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar (fly, 飛翔/升高)!

And you'll live as you've never lived before...

Softly, deftly, music shall caress (touch, 撫摸) you

Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind (released放鬆)單句句型 5: S + Vt+ O+OC)

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight

The darkness of the music of the night...

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!

Let your soul take you where you long to be!

Only then can you belong to me ...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication(沉醉)!

Touch me, trust me, savour (品嚐) each sensation!

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in

To the power of the music that I write

The power of the music of the night...

You alone can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the night...

5.    ALL I ASK OF YOU (1:09:33)

Forget these wide-eyed fears.

To guard you and to guide you...

7.    THE POINT OF NO RETURN 01:49:16

PHANTOM:

You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge,

In pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent, silent...

I have brought you, that our passions may fuse (融合) and merge (融化)

In your mind you've already succumbed to (屈服) me,

Dropped all defenses, (防衛) completely succumbed to me

Now you are here with me, no second thoughts, you've decided, decided...

Past the point of no return, no backward glances (一瞥)

Our games of make believe (假裝) are at an end

Past all thought of "if" and "when," no use resisting (抵抗)

Abandon thoughts, and let the dream descend (下降)

What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlock its door?

What sweet seduction (誘惑) lies before us?

Past the point of no return, the final threshold (門檻)

What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?

Beyond the point of no return...

CHRISTINE:

You have brought me to that moment where words run dry,

To that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence...

I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why

In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies entwining,(交纏)

Defenceless and silent, and now I am here with you

No second thoughts, I've decided, decided...

Past the point of no return, no going back now

Our passion play has now, at last, begun

Past all thought of right or wrong, one final question

How long should we two wait, before we're one?

When will the blood begin to race, the sleeping bud burst into bloom (忽然開花)?

When will the flames, at last, consume (消滅; 吞噬) us?

Past the point of no return, the final threshold

The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn

We've passed the point of no return...

PHANTOM:

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime

Lead me, save me from my solitude

Say you want me with you, here beside you

Anywhere you go let me go too

Christine, that's all I ask of...
