2. Generally he is an easy-going person, but when it comes to religious belief he talks turkey.
一般来说,他是一个随和的人,但一谈到宗教信仰,他就正经起来.
其它词汇：
* have a turkey on (one’s) back: <American Slang> 1、喝醉酒 2、吸毒
* red [...]

【歌曲介绍】：Dido（蒂朵）是英国四人超级EPIC-HOUSE / TRIP-HOP电子乐队“FAITHLESS（无信念乐队）”中的客席女主唱。《Thank you》作为Dido 的成名作，还曾被Elton John 在格莱美的颁奖晚会上翻唱。这足见这首歌的魅力。当你的耳朵听腻了在流水线上生产出来的粗俗音乐时，当你渴望用另一种别具一格的声音把你的耳朵叫醒时，你不妨听一听Dido的这首《Thank you》。
My tea’s gone cold,
I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’d all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it’s [...]
