Beatles，颇有创意的命名——这种低级生物既代表了一种不流俗套、略带自嘲的幽默感，又恰到好处地将英文的beat（节奏、打击）之意蕴藏其中。
作为一个乐队，Beatles已经成为过去；作为一种文化象征，Beatles却超越了时空。
生命中的一天：A day in the life 
昨天：Yesterday

Lyrics
Yesterday byBeatles
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm.
Words and phrases
1. not half：not at all（一点也不，根本不），常用于口语中，用来加重语气。如：Paper tiger is not half so fierce as it is painted．（纸老虎根本不像描绘的那样可怕。）
2.long for + n.=long to do: have an intense desire for sth; want sth very much（渴望，非常想有某物），如：The people of the world long for the peace.（全世界人民渴望和平。）
3. easy game：person or thing that can easily be attacked, exploited or made a victim（容易受攻击的人或事物，容易吃亏、上当、受害的人），这里应该解释为“简单、纯真”。
中文歌词
昨日 披头士
昨日，所有烦恼仿佛都已远去。
现在它们似乎在此停留。
噢，我宁回昨日。
突然间，
我迷失了自己，
被阴影笼罩。
噢，昨日突然重现。
她为何离我而去，我不知道，她也不愿意说。
可能是我说错了话，如今我真的渴望重回昨日。
昨日，爱情简单纯真；
现在，我却想逃开。
噢，我宁回昨日。
她为何离我而去，我不知道，她也不愿意说。
可能是我说错了话，如今我真的渴望重回昨日。
昨日，爱情简单纯真；
现在，我却想逃开。
噢，我宁回昨日。
嗯……
