课文讲解
Janis greets her friend Mick in downtown Taichung: 在台中市区,贾尼丝和她的朋友麦克打招呼:
J: Hey Mick, what are you carrying?
嘿,麦克,你带的是什么?
M: A bass guitar. My band are playing Spring Scream Lamb this year over Chingming weekend in Kenting.
低音吉他。我的乐团今年清明节的周末要在垦丁演奏「春天吶喊的羔羊」。
J: Wow, cool. Do you guys have a record contract?
哇,真酷。你们有唱片合约吗?
M: Oh, no, we’re not quite that accomplished. Most of the bands at Spring Scream are amateurs, but some past acts have gone professional.
没有啦,我们还没那么行。大部分参加「春天吶喊」的乐团都是业余的,但是有些从前的表演团体现在已经具有专业水平了。
J: Right, like Sticky Rice or MC Hot Dog. I haven’t attended the festival yet. How’s the vibe?
没错。像是Sticky Rice或MC Hot Dog。我还没参加过那个音乐季呢。你觉得那里气氛如何呢?
M: Awesome. It’s inexpensive, casual and people can check out bands at any of the three stages.
很棒。价钱不贵、气氛轻松,人们可以在三个舞台中任选一个看乐团表演。
J: I read on their website that it’s a unique festival in Asia because it’s more than music, but also dancers, performers, skateboarders and craftspeople.
我从他们的网站上知道,这是一个亚洲特别的音乐季,因为除了音乐以外,那里还有舞者、表演者、溜滑板的人和做手工艺品的人。
M: You got it. Taiwan doesn’t have many venues for amateurs and alternative styles of music, but Spring Scream is like a great explosion of the creativity that lies under the surface of Taiwan.
没错。在台湾没有很多提供给业余者和另类音乐表演的舞台,但是「春天吶喊」就像是潜藏在台湾社会中的一股巨大的创造爆发力。
J: Well, what kinds of music can I hear?
嗯,我可以听到哪些种类的音乐呢?
M: Mostly rock and popular music – some loud and heavy, but some quite mellow – and funky hip-hop. Also, you can anticipate one of the only genuine mosh pit experiences in Taiwan.
摇滚乐和流行音乐占大部分,有些又吵又激烈,但是有些相当柔和,还有放克嘻哈乐。妳还可以体验身处台湾唯一真正的摇滚区的滋味。
J: Count me in this year. But what the heck is a mosh pit?
今年我也要去。但是到底什么是摇滚区?
M: I could explain but you’ll need to see that to believe it!
我可以解释给妳听,但是妳要真的看到才会相信!
