歌劇魅影作為四大音樂劇之一(貓、西貢小姐、悲慘世界、歌劇魅影)，
一直是歷久不衰、為人所稱道的好作品，
其實，這部音樂劇源自於法國作家卡斯頓·勒胡所撰著的愛情驚悚小說，後被人所翻譯
其文學性和可學習的地方比比皆是!
能夠邊欣賞音樂劇又可以邊學英文真的是一件很棒的事!
因此小編特別來為大家整理了一下歌劇魅影可以學習到的英文精華囉!
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 of the opera is there
Inside my mind
The phantom (Michael)
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
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
The phantom
It’s me they hear
