tend that i’ve 2)moved on
you’ll always be my baby
i never found the words to say
you’re the one i think about each day
and i know no matter where life takes me to
a part of me will always be with you
somewhere in my memory
i’ve lost all sense of time
and so my road can never be ‘cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
there’s no use looking back or wondering
how it should be now or might have been
oh this i know but still i can’t find ways to let you go
repeat *
you’ll always be the dream that fills my head
yes you will, say you will, you know you will
oh baby, you’ll always be the one i know i’ll never forget
there’s no use looking back or wondering
because love is a strange and funny thing
no matter how i try and try i just can’t say goodbye
no no no no
梦想成真
每个人都有想要忘却的事情
昨日的遗憾随时光而增长
不要回首过去，或者期望
现在和过去有什么不一样
这我明白，却无法让你知道
我从来不知道梦想也可以成真
直到那天我遇见你
尽管我假装要继续前进
而你是我永远的唯一
我从来不知道该对你说些什么
我每天想念的就是你
不管生活会怎样
我的心永远属于你
在我记忆的某个地方
我忘却了时间
我再也找不到方向，因为昨天充斥着我的思想
不要回首过去，或者期望
现在和过去有什么不一样
这我知道，只是无法放手让你走
你就是我所有的梦想
你是，你是，你一直是
哦宝贝，我永远不会忘记你
不要回首过去，或者期望
因为爱是多么奇妙和有趣的事情
我一试再试，就是无法说出要和你分手

the coming of the ming dynasty
you could not have written a better closing chapter for one of basketballs’ big men. the nba title for the san antonio spurs gives their center 37-year-old david robinson a storybook ending, to a long and prosperous career. while his can-do-style and wholesome image will be sorely missed, the nba has quickly generated a huge 1)buzz around the tallest man in the league, yao ming, who has the added benefit of being from the world’s fastest growing economy. nba officials are so excited they have a name for his expected 2)reign, the ming dynasty.
yao ming is a giant in the basketball world. and not just because he stands seven ft. six inches tall, 2.286 meters.
carrol dawson (general manager, huston rockets): no matter where we go or what we are talking about, his name comes up. and i’ve been in this business 25 years and nba and i’ve been a college coach long time before, and i’ve never seen anything like this.
as 3)the draft’s first pick, yao signed a four year $18 million contract, he already has earned more than $4 million in 4)endorsement money, an amount which some analysts forecast could rise to eight figures by next year. yao already is drawing comparisons to nba legend michael jordan, whose net worth has been estimated at more than $400 million. yao is by far the most visible first year player in the nba. companies are 5)capitalizing on his mystery, charisma and of course his size.
through yao’s rockets, the entire league is raising its profile in the world’s largest emerging market. the nba showed 170 games on 12 chinese television networks this season, and has plans to play pre-season games and sell merchandise in china next year. chinese companies are 6)reciprocating. in a sure sign of an burgeoning trend, the country’s second largest 7)brewery, yanjing beer has signed on as a corporate sponsor of the houston rockets.
thad brown (vp, rockets): they wanted to be associated with the team because they could in fact not only create a 8)beachhead here in the united states for the distribution of their product, but also it would reach their customers back in china while the games are being broadcast there locally. well he’s got a great smile, he’s very humble, he’s very smart, and he represents himself and his team so well. everything has kind of 9)converged the perfect storm if you will, where he really has become this flash point for u.s.-china relations and commerce.
the nba hopes the international appeal of its newest star will 10)buffer losses at home. league-wide ticket sales this season are down 5% overall. and a recent survey revealed that 40% of basketball fans in the u.s. have lost some interest in the nba since michael jordan left the bulls in 1998. but the rockets are becoming a draw even away from houston-jumping from 18th last season to 7th, as the rockets opponents take advantage when yao comes to town.
moochie norris (teammate): seems like every time you turn around, it’s just yao, yao, yao. you know it doesn’t bother the team as much as it bothers him. i think sometimes he doesn’t know but for the most part he’s like, every city we go to there is, you know, just this 11)entourage of people just waiting for him to step on the floor, just walk in the building.
the nba restricts the marketing capabilities of individual teams, but the rockets have profited from yao’s presence nonetheless. the team launched a mandarin language website, and radio show to appeal to houston’s 250,000 asian americans.
ticket sales are up 16%, local television ratings have nearly doubled, internet traffic is up four times what it was last year in large part to the hits to the chinese content pages, from houston and
