Imagine that you hear music on the radio or on your phone. Maybe you like the sounds; maybe you do not.
想象一下，您在收音機(jī)或手機(jī)上聽到音樂。也許你喜歡這些聲音；也許你沒有。
But how should you describe the music? What kinds of terms and structures should you use in a discussion?
但是你應(yīng)該如何描述音樂？你應(yīng)該在討論中使用什么樣的術(shù)語和結(jié)構(gòu)？
In today's Everyday Grammar, we will explore how you can talk about music. You will learn about sentence patterns, adjectives, and adjectival prepositional phrases.
在今天的日常語法中，我們將探討如何談?wù)撘魳?。您將學(xué)習(xí)句型、形容詞和形容詞介詞短語。
Let's start with some important terms and ideas.
讓我們從一些重要的術(shù)語和想法開始。
Sentence patterns, adjectives
句型、形容詞
Sentences often fall into patterns – usual, repeated structures. One of the structures commonly used to describe music is as follows:
句子經(jīng)常陷入模式——通常的、重復(fù)的結(jié)構(gòu)。常用的描述音樂的結(jié)構(gòu)之一如下：
Subject – linking verb – adjective (or subject complement)
主語-連接動(dòng)詞-形容詞（或主語補(bǔ)語）
Consider this example:
考慮這個(gè)例子：
The music sounds nice.
音樂聽起來不錯(cuò)。
The subject is "the music," the linking verb is "sounds," and the adjective is "nice."
主語是“the music ，”連接動(dòng)詞是“sounds”，形容詞是“nice”。
The adjective is sometimes called the subject complement, meaning it completes the verb and modifies or describes the subject.
形容詞有時(shí)被稱為主語補(bǔ)語，意思是它完成動(dòng)詞并修飾或描述主語。
Common linking verbs used to describe music include "be" and "sound."
用于描述音樂的常見連接動(dòng)詞包括“be”和“sound”。
For example, a person might say:
例如，一個(gè)人可能會(huì)說：
This music is wild!
< br/>或者
Or
This music is boring.
這音樂很無聊。
In both cases, adjectives such as "wild" or "boring" play an important part in the sentence. They describe how the speaker feels about the music. Some adjectives have a negative meaning. Boring means uninteresting, tiresome. If a person says that the music is boring, they are suggesting that they do not like the music.
在這兩種情況下，“狂野”或“無聊”等形容詞在句子中都扮演著重要的角色。他們描述了演講者對(duì)音樂的感受。有些形容詞有否定的意思。無聊意味著無趣、令人厭煩。如果一個(gè)人說音樂很無聊，他們是在暗示他們不喜歡這種音樂。
Other common adjectives used to describe music include loud, soft, smooth, harsh, fast, and slow.
用于描述音樂的其他常見形容詞包括響亮、柔和、流暢、刺耳、快速和緩慢。
Effects
效果
We can also describe the effects that music has on us. In this case, we can use adjectives such as "relaxing," "calming," "exciting," "moving," or "touching."
我們還可以描述音樂對(duì)我們的影響。在這種情況下，我們可以使用“放松”、“平靜”、“興奮”、“移動(dòng)”或“觸摸”等形容詞。
For example:
例如
This music is relaxing.
這音樂讓人放松。
Or
或者
This song is very touching.
這音樂讓人放松。
Phrases
短語
Sometimes English speakers replace an adjective with a kind of phrase known as an adjectival prepositional phrase. These phrases – sometimes idiomatic expressions – name or describe something about the subject.
有時(shí)說英語的人用一種稱為形容詞介詞短語的短語來代替形容詞。這些短語 - 有時(shí)是慣用語 - 命名或描述主題的某些內(nèi)容。
For example, you might say:
例如，您可能會(huì)說：
The violin sounds out of tune.
小提琴走調(diào)了。
Or
或者
The singer is out of his mind.
歌手瘋了。
The former example – the one about the violin - uses the phrase "out of tune," meaning not having the correct pitch or intonation.
前一個(gè)例子——關(guān)于小提琴的那個(gè)——使用短語“走調(diào)”，意思是音高或語調(diào)不正確。
The latter example – the one about the singer – uses the phrase "out of his mind," meaning that the singer has lost control of his mind or went insane.
后一個(gè)例子——關(guān)于歌手的那個(gè)——使用了“out his mind”這個(gè)短語，意思是歌手失去了對(duì)他的思想的控制或者發(fā)瘋了。
Practice
練習(xí)
Let's take some time to work with these ideas.

結(jié)語
The next time you listen to music, ask yourself the following questions: How would you use what you have learned today to describe the music you are listening to?
下次你聽音樂的時(shí)候，問自己以下問題：你會(huì)如何運(yùn)用今天學(xué)到的東西來描述您正在聽的音樂？
Are there other words or structures that you should use to describe the music?
您應(yīng)該使用其他詞或結(jié)構(gòu)來描述音樂嗎？
