"It's something I am going to have to live with and something I'll have to grow from," Phelps told The Associated Press outside the pool where he trains. "I know with all of the mistakes I made, I learned from them and that is what I expect to do from this. By no means it is fun for me, by no means is it easy."

It was the first time Phelps had publicly addressed the photo since issuing an apology Sunday after it surfaced in a British tabloid over the weekend.

Wearing a black sweat suit and shaking off the remaining drops of water in his hair after a workout at the Meadowbrook Aquatic Center, Phelps said the most important thing for him is that he was back in the pool training.

"I'm back to my routine, the thing I love, the thing I care about most," Phelps said. "To be able to get back in the water and get back to a normal schedule is what I am happy about most."

Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, in November took over operation of Meadowbrook and the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, where the swimmer began training at age 7.

Phelps declined to address the possibility of criminal charges and reiterated his desire to put the furor behind him.

"You know, it happens," he said. "When stupid things are (done), bad judgment is made and mistakes are made, it happens."

Phelps apologized to his fans and sponsors after the tabloid News of the World published a picture that appeared to show the Olympic champion smoking marijuana during a November house party at the University of South Carolina.

The photo wasn't the first time Phelps has been in trouble for his activities away from the pool. After the 2004 Athens Games, an underage Phelps was arrested for drunken driving, pleaded guilty and apologized to his fans.

Several of Phelps' sponsors -- including Visa, apparel company Speedo and luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega -- have expressed their support of the athlete, who won a record eight golds medals at the Beijing Olympics last summer.

"I have a relationship with all of my sponsors and they are really like family," Phelps said. "It's been like that for our whole partnership together. And it's good to have support in a time like this. This is when you most need it." it."

He was also appreciative of the backing he's gotten from those close to him.

"Right now, at a time like this, this is when you really know who are your real friends and family," said Phelps, 23. "At a time like this, you really notice who is there in good times and in bad. And I have had a lot of support and that is something I am thankful for."

On Wednesday in Switzerland, swimming's governing body praised Phelps for his public apology.

"As a citizen, Michael Phelps displayed inappropriate behavior," FINA said in a statement. "But his sincere regret and the promise that such a situation will not happen again are sufficient guarantees that this great star will continue generating respect and appreciation to all fans of our sport around the globe."

But the CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee said Wednesday he'd like to have a face-to-face meeting with Phelps, and spokesman Darryl Seibel said the federation was sending the Olympic star a letter offering its assistance.

Phelps has apologized. Now the USOC wants to help him avoid a repeat.

"Based on this occurrence, we at the USOC, as we said in an earlier statement, are exceptionally disappointed in him, as he is in himself," Jim Scherr said during a conference call that was set to preview the 2010 Winter Olympics, but also included several mentions of Phelps. "We'll follow up and have a direct conversation with him and people close to him."

The USOC can't do much to penalize him. Anti-doping rules don't call for sanctions against athletes who test positive for marijuana when they're not competing. And the USOC's code of conduct doesn't apply to athletes once the games are over.

See the pyramids around the Nile

Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane

See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine
When this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later
They all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever

    Words and phrases

1.  in style：so as to cause admiration by being fashionable and spending a lot of money，由英文释义，我们可看出in style有两层涵义：“赶时髦、讲气派”。在歌中，dance in style可以理解为“舞步时尚或流行”。

2.  Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst ：其实这句话我们一点都不陌生，汉语中常说，“抱最大的希望，做最坏的打算”，其相应的英文表达就是：We'd better hope for the best, but expect the worst. 
 
 

红色线条即是柏林墙位置，两德统一后被拆除

源于冷战，刻上鲜明时代印记的柏林墙建立于1961年，一堵墙，不仅隔开了资本主义和社会主义，还使很多柏林家庭分裂成两半。这种状况直至持续到1990年，伴随着东西德的统一，柏林墙才不复存在。但在这之前的几十年，有关柏林墙以及东德西德之间的故事却充满着“相互的敌对、相互的猜疑以及相互的思念”，无论是墙的东边还是墙的西边，人们从不怀疑战争随时爆发的可能。所以这句“are you going to drop the bomb or not”体现了当时的时代特点——缺乏安全感的德国人多么渴望和平和统一。

4.  never say never ：这是一句习惯用语，其英文释义是nothing is impossible, anything can happen（没有不可能的），请看例句：
Mary said Tom would never call her again, but I told her, "Never say never." 玛丽说，汤姆再也不会给她打电话了，但我告诉她，“这是不可能的事儿”。

其实，汉语中我们常常挂在口边的“有志者事竟成”，其内蕴的真谛就是“Never say never”。

在歌中，依据歌词意境——个体的生杀大权掌握在上帝手中，或存在于冥冥中的未知——Never say never可以理解为“（我们虽无力违抗天意），却决不愿放弃个体的努力来顺从天意。”

5.  swinging out of the blue ：原意指from an unexpected or unforeseen source（出乎意料的、没有想到或没有预测到的”，如：criticism that came out of the blue（突如其来的批评）。

在歌中，out of the blue用来形容“远方不可知的梦”，理解时可与席慕蓉《初相遇》中那句美丽的诗行相联系——“美丽的梦和美丽的诗一样，都是可遇不可求的，常常在最没能料到的时刻里出现……”，所以，dreams swinging out of the blue可以翻译为“未知的梦在远方召唤”，译文里为了上下句对应，省掉了“未知”。

专辑歌手：Alphaville

语言：英语
专辑介绍:
Alphaville（阿尔发村合唱团），一支因电子合成乐而风靡于上个世纪80年代的电子音乐组合。乐队的得名来自于一部由法国电影导演Jean Luc Godard（让·吕克·戈达尔）执导的影片“Alphaville”（《阿尔伐城》），该片1965年获柏城影展“金熊奖”。

阿尔发村合唱团于1982 年成立于西德，除了怦然动感的节拍，其以电子合成乐而营造出的梦幻、伤感以及华丽的艺术气质曾另一代人迷恋不已。首张专辑“Forever young”发行于1984年，专辑中颇受好评的经典曲目如：专辑同名主打歌曲“Forever young”，代表该乐队动感节奏风格的“Big in Japan”，以及充满怀旧色调的“Summer in Berlin”。

 

 

80年代，电子合成器的科技加上MTV电视频道对音乐施予影像化的视觉，以英国为首的新浪潮节奏大举进军乐坛。1981年一支德国电子组合Alphaville加入电子音乐的流行战局。受到Ultravox乐队结构和音乐风格的Alphaville是个简单朴实的团体，他们显现出了一流乐团的素质和水平，除了怦然的动感节拍之外，它还满布着新潮、华丽、冷酷、怀旧、伤感、神秘、梦幻、艺术的气氛与气质。Marian Gold、Bernhard Lloyd两位创作核心加上Frank Mertens、Ricky Echolette等团员，造就了Big In Japan、Forvever Young、Dance With Me等人气代表作。89年与Tangerine Dream乐团的电子音乐界先锋Klaus Schulze琢磨音乐理念，并与多位导演将专辑中的歌曲拍成短片集锦取代传统影带概念，其中标题为「Songlines」的短片还一举勇夺奥斯卡奖，Marian和Bernhard也分别发表个人专辑。他们于1984年在欧洲大陆上发行的第一个单曲Big In Japan，还特意请来Tangerinep Dream的Klausp Schulze作为发行人，但是Gold在后来未能扩大影响、发展起来,被当时挪威的A-ha,英国的Petpshoppboyp给比下去了，但不管还有多少人记得Alphaville，forever young依然被传遍着...
