課文講解

 

If throwing tomatoes is too wild, then check out these festivals. The Edinburgh Festival takes place in Scotland. Students from different theater schools and musicians put on performances here. It's also the largest cultural festival in the world.

 

如果丢蕃茄太疯狂的话，那来看看这些节庆吧：在苏格兰举行的爱丁堡音乐节，由来自不同戏剧学院的学生和音乐家共同演出；它也是世上规模最大的文化庆典。

 

Fans of classical music will love the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. It celebrates the works of Richard Wagner (理查德华格纳). The festival draws in thousands of fans. However, tickets are very hard to score!

 

古典乐迷将会喜爱德国的拜罗伊特音乐节，它所颂扬的是理查德德．华格纳的作品。这个节庆会吸引上千名的乐迷到场，然而却是一票难求。

 

So, grab some tomatoes, watch a play, or listen to Wagner's works. These are all splendid ways to end the summer.

 

那么，抓把蕃茄、看场表演，或是聆听华格纳的作品吧，这些都是为暑假画下完美句点的好方法！
