中英歌词
物是人非事事休，当你离开的太久了，你会发现很多以为永恒的事情，也会随之消逝，那些过去的回忆，也只能存在于million years ago。欢迎收听《听歌学英语》，我是主播Canace，你可以叫我小C。《Million Years Ago》（百万年前）是阿黛尔写给自己的，哀悼逝去的青春。听这首歌，会有点小忧伤，完全会被歌词带进去，联想自己老去时的样子。就像歌词写的那样''I feel like my life is flashing by，And all I can do is watch and cry.（我感觉到我的生命一闪而过，而能做的只有看着流泪。）''真的是这样吗？希望无论年华如何老去，内心永葆年轻。
