你去俱樂部表演的行程是怎么安排的？一般演奏多長時間

今天的這段對話，在討論演出，
 
你去俱樂部表演的行程是怎么安排的？一般演奏多長時間
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So, Eoin, we're talking about you playing this weekend. You're going to play in two cities. What's the set-up like? What's the routine like when you go to a club? Like how soon must you be there? You know, how long do you play, etc.?
 
約恩，我們之前說過，你這周末有演出。你要在兩個城市進行演出。行程是怎么安排的？你去俱樂部表演的行程是怎么安排的？比如你要提前多長時間到那里？你要演奏多長時間？
 
B: Yeah, there is some variance from place to place about that but generally it's pretty standard that if you're playing that evening, you'll need to be there about maybe two, one or two in the afternoon just to... especially if it's a place you haven't played before to go and greet the... or say hello to the owner of the live house and then do your rehearsal, your sound check to get... make sure all the volumes are correct and normally there's some paperwork to fill in, like list out the songs you're going to play, copy for the lighting people, and copy for the sound guy on the sound desk, and plus if there's people coming to see you and they want to reserve advance tickets, you need to write out a list and give that to the reception guy and then apart from that... yeah, that's most of the preparation done, so normally, you'd go in, greet their live house manager, rehearsal, after that have a bit of free time and the events normally start around 6:30, 7:00 in the evening, and each band plays for about half an hour normally.
 
各個地方的情況不一樣，一般來說，如果在晚上演出，那還是有標準的，大概要在下午一兩點鐘到達表演場地，尤其是去之前沒有演出過的地方，因為你要和表演空間的經(jīng)營者打招呼，然后彩排和試音，確保音量合適，通常還有一些文件工作要做，比如列出你要演奏的歌曲清單，復(fù)印一份清單給照明工作人員，再復(fù)印一份給負責音響的工作人員，如果有人來看你想讓你給他們留預(yù)售票，那你就要寫個名單給接待人員，除此之外……基本上這樣大部分準備工作就已經(jīng)完成了，通常來說，就是要去和表演空間的經(jīng)理打招呼，彩排，之后會有一些自由時間，一般表演會在晚上6點半或7點開始，每個樂隊有大約半小時的表演時間。
 
A: That's it. Only thirty minutes.
 
是這樣。只有30分鐘。
 
B: That's it.
 
是的。
 
A: All that work for only thirty minutes.
 
做這么多準備工作只有30分鐘的表演時間。
 
B: That's right.
 
沒錯。
 
A: That must go by so fast for you?
 
對你們來說，表演時間一定過得非?？彀?？
 
B: Yeah, it does, but in an ideal world it would be nice to just play for hours on end but I've seen bands play for hours on end, especially bands that I never heard the music before, and I think it's too much to take in. You know, for... if you're a listener, taking in much more than half an hour of brand new music from one band at one time is a lot. I think it's a good length of time to perform if you're not a really well known band.
 
是這樣的，不過理想的情況是連續(xù)表演幾個小時，我見過有樂隊連接表演幾個小時，還是我之前從來沒聽說過的樂隊，我認為這樣觀眾吸收的太多了。對觀眾來說，一次吸收一種新音樂超過半小時的時間就有點過了。我認為如果是不太知名的樂隊，半個小時是最合適的表演長度。
 
A: Well, for you though, does the time just fly by?
 
不過對你來說，半個小時過得飛快吧？
 
B: Yeah, it feels pretty fast but I don't know. It's a rush, you know. It's a buzz to play and even though it's short, it's enjoyable as many things in life are.
 
對，的確感覺是非常快，我也說不好。感覺很匆忙。雖然時間很短，但是很興奮，就像生活中很多有趣的事情一樣。
 
A: Right.
 
是的。
