We McFly!|冲天小飞侠

[英语诗歌、英文小诗]

McFly have flipped1 our world upside down in the last 12 months. But besides looks and great songs what else gives these lads the wow factor2? We discovered that there are a whopping3 13 reasons why these lads are so hot!

They're wise beyond their years
  If you have a problem and McFly are nearby, make sure you grab them because they always have the solution—Tom admits that Dougie's a good listener, saying “You can talk at him for hours!” Meanwhile, Dougie says Harry's the wisest. “He's like an old man trapped in a young boy's body. He's got the answer to everything.”
They're hilarious4
  When you're in a room with McFly, it's like watching an episode5 of Friends. They share chips, fall asleep on the nearest shoulder and laugh so much it hurts. Tom's glad he found the boys. “I've never been as close to anyone in my life,” he admits.

 

They're thoughtful
  Are they the nicest boys in pop? Tom drives his band-mates everywhere in his new Mini, and they never forget birthdays. Harry picks fab6 presents. “I get everyone cool T-shirts.” Imagine the fab stuff you'd get if you were dating one of them!

 

They love cuddles7
  If you know the lads well enough, you're guaranteed a squeeze8. According to Dougie, Tom gives the best cuddles. “He's a bit tubby9, so when you're feeling low, he's good for a hug.” Next time you see the boys, ask for a hug and they'll squeeze you with pleasure. Hmm!

 

 The lads are ‘mum’ friendly
  Dread the idea of bringing a boy home for tea? With a McFly lad on your arm, your mum certainly won't be disappointed. Apart from being gorgeous10, they're parent-friendly. Danny reckons Dougie would make any oldie11 smile. “He's quiet and he never moans12. He's a bit small and needs looking after—mums love looking after people.”

 

They're manly
  It's a well-known fact that the lads have grape fights in hotel rooms late at night. Danny's a regular play fighter too. “Tom wins because he's bigger than the rest of us. Harry's the weed13 so he's a good target.”

 

They're never boring
  “If I had to be stuck14 in a lift for a day, I'd be happy to be with any of McFly,” Tom says. “But Danny would be the best because he'd make me laugh.”Danny says Dougie would keep you amused with his quirkiness15. “We wouldn't talk, we'd just make grunting16 noises.”

 

They're generous
  Mates of McFly are never out of pocket17. “I always lend the band money—in fact Harry owes me a few quid18,” says Tom. Danny's not shy with this pockets either. “I'm always lending Harry money too! I want it back, but it's not like he's going to leave the country, is it?” Hope not!

 

They'll always make an effort
  If McFly fancy19 you, they'll go to any length20 to make you happy. Tom loves to impress. “When I was 13 I took a girl to see a 15-cert21 film because I thought it would make me look mature. I strode up to the ticket office confidently, but we got turned away. The girl still thought I was pretty cool though.”

 

McFly get turned down too
  We all know McFly are the hottest boys on the planet. But even they fall for celeb crushes22. Danny's admitted a million times to fancying Joss Stone, while Tom would love to date Rachel Stevens. “I really like Rachel, but one time at a show, we bumped into23 her backstage24. I said 'hello' to her, trying to play it cool, but she completely blanked25 me! I was gutted26.”

 

They're romantic
  Any girl dating a McFly boy would be in for a treat27. They're so romantic—they open doors and pay for meals. Harry would make any girl weak at the knees. “I always make sure I buy flowers for a girl.”

They're a little bit naughty
  Dougie would regularly get grounded28 for not helping around the house, Harry smashed a window when he was at school and Tom was grounded after being caught red handed29. “My parents caught me looking at nude30 pictures once.” So, why do we love naughty boys? Because they never fail to surprise us!

 

They're sensitive
  If you think all boys are horrible stinky31 creatures who don't have any feelings, then think again. “I'd cry if I found a girl cheating on me,” says Harry. Dougie has even had his heart broken already. “I fancied a girl at school. I built up the courage to ask her out but she said no. I was so upset.”


过去12个月小飞侠颠倒乾坤。但是,除开容貌和精彩的歌曲,还有别的因素使他们令人倾倒吗?我们发现让小伙子们如此走红的理由足有13条!

他们少年老成
        假如你遇到难题而小飞侠就在旁边,赶快抓住他们,因为他们一定有办法。汤姆承认道基很善于倾听,他说:“他可以听你一连讲上几个小时。”同时,道基说哈里最睿智。“他就像一个寄居在小男孩身体里的老头,万事都有现成的办法。” 他们爱热闹
  你要是跟小飞侠同处一室, 那就像看《老友记》中的一个片段。他们分吃一袋薯片、困了就靠在挨得最近的那个人肩上睡觉、笑得肚子都痛。汤姆很高兴找了这么几个伴。“我长这么大,从来没跟谁这么亲近过。”他说。

他们很体贴
  他们是不是流行乐坛上惹人爱的小伙子?汤姆开着他的新迷你宝马车带乐队伙伴们到处玩。过生日是彼此从来不会忘记的。哈里特会挑礼物。“我给每个人挑的T恤都很酷。”想想看,假如你是他们某人的约会对象,给你的礼物会有多么棒!

他们喜欢拥抱
  如果你跟他们混熟了,肯定可以得到一个拥抱。据道基说, 汤姆最会拥抱。“他有点像个桶,所以当你兴致不高时,抱抱他是挺不错的。”下次你碰到这帮小伙子,要他们拥抱你一下,他们会乐于从命的。呵呵!

小伙子们讨妈妈喜欢
  不敢带男孩回家喝茶?假如你挂在哪位小飞侠小子的胳膊上回家,你妈妈一定不会失望。他们都很灿烂,又与做父母的投缘。丹尼认为道基能让任何老爹开口笑。“他文文静静,从来不叫唤。他还有点小,需要人照顾。妈妈们就喜欢照顾人喔。”

他们是男子汉
  大家都知道小伙子们半夜里还在旅馆房间里打葡萄仗。丹尼还是一个老玩打仗游戏的人。“汤姆总是赢,因为他个子最大。哈里最坏,所以他总是靶子。”

他们从不让人乏味
  “如果不幸堵在电梯里出不来,我愿意跟小飞侠中的任何一人堵在一起,”汤姆说,“但是最好是跟丹尼一起,因为他会让我笑。” 丹尼说道基会搞些滑稽动作让你开心。“我们不讲话,只哼哼。”

他们出手大方
  小飞侠的玩伴们从来不缺钱。“我总是借钱给乐团其他人——事实上哈里欠我好几镑呢,”汤姆说。丹尼对钱的事儿也没不好意思,“我也总在借钱给哈里,我得收账了,不过他好像没有逃到国外去的迹象,对吧?”但愿如此!

他们总是全力以赴
  如果小飞侠喜欢上你,他们会挖空心思讨你喜欢。汤姆喜欢让人忘不了他。“我13岁的时候,带一个女孩去看15级的电影,因为我觉得这样可以让我显得成熟些。我很自信地踱到售票处,结果空手而回。不过,那个女孩还是觉得我很酷哦。”

小飞侠也有被人拒绝的时候
  我们都知道小飞侠是地球上最炙手可热的男孩,但是他们也是追星一族。丹尼无数次地承认喜欢乔丝·斯通,而汤姆 很想跟瑞琪·史蒂文约会。“我真的很喜欢瑞琪,但是有一次演出时,我们在后台碰到她。我尽量装出一副酷样,对她说‘你好’,她却对我睬都不睬。伤心呀!”

他们很浪漫
  任何女孩跟小飞侠约会都会得到殷勤招待。他们很浪漫——他们在前面为你开门,请你吃饭都是他们掏腰包。哈里会让女孩如何膝盖发软。“我从不忘记给女孩子买花。”

他们也有点坏
  道基经常因为不肯帮着做家务被罚,哈里上学的时候打破过玻璃窗,而汤姆则被抓过现行,挨了好一顿罚。“有次我爸妈抓到我看裸体照片了。”那么,我们为什么会喜欢坏孩子?因为他们总能让我们吃惊!

他们敏感心细
  如果你认为男孩子们都是些没有感情的臭东西,那可就错了!“我要是发现女孩对我不忠实,我会哭的,” 哈里说。而道基的心已经碎过一回了。“我上学的时候很迷恋一个姑娘,鼓足了勇气邀她出去,却被她拒绝了。我难受死了。”
