今天的這段對話,在討論甲殼蟲樂隊,
甲殼蟲樂隊有什么特別的地方?你最喜歡他們哪張專輯
來聽今天的講解:
A: Who's your favourite band?
你最喜歡哪一個樂隊?
B: I would have to say The Bead es. Have you heard of them?
我想應(yīng)該是甲殼蟲樂隊?你聽說過嗎?
A: Who hasn't? They were the original boy band weren't they?
怎么會沒聽說過呢?他們是早期的男孩組合,是吧?
B: That's right. Four young men from Liverpool caused a sensation when they played in their local club called the Caved. They created Beatlemania where girl fans went wild and would shout and scream.
是的。來自利物浦的4個年輕人在他們當?shù)匾粋€叫做“深洞”的俱樂部表演,由此掀起了一股熱潮。他們引起了甲殼蟲熱,女歌迷們都瘋狂了,她們狂喊著、尖叫著。
A: What was so special about them?
他們有什么特別的地方?
B: They wore suits and had long hair and Paul , their lead singer was so handsome. But mainly it was their music.
他們穿著西服,留著長發(fā),領(lǐng)唱保羅非常英俊。但他們出名的土要原因還是他們的音樂。
A: So which of their albums would you suggest I listen to first?
你給我點建議,先聽他們的哪張專輯好呢?
B: You could try their latest album which was released in December 2006. It's called Love and is a reworking of some of their greatest hits
你可以試聽一下他們最新的專輯.2006年12月發(fā)行的《愛》,這是他們最轟動的一些歌曲經(jīng)重新修訂之后的合輯。
A: Love seems to be what their music is all about. Did you know that every song from their first 5 albums was about love?
他們音樂的主題好像都是與愛有關(guān)。你知道嗎?他們最初發(fā)行的5張專輯中,每首歌都足關(guān)于愛情的。
B: I know their first UK single was Love Me Do released in October 1962 so that does not surprise me.
我知道他們第一個英國單曲唱片是《愛我吧》,是在1962年的10月發(fā)行的,所以我并不感到奇怪。
A: Which of their albums do you like best?
你最喜歡他們哪張專輯?
B:I would have to say Rubber Sor41. I could listen to that all day. The song writing copartnership of Lennon and McCarley was the most successful in the world.
我想應(yīng)該是《橡膠靈魂》。我能整天不停地聽。列依和麥卡特尼是世界上最成功的歌曲創(chuàng)作組合。
A: Yet they never wrote their songs together. One way to tell who wrote a song is to listen to who the main singer is.
然后他們從小一起作曲。要想知道一首歌是誰寫的,一種辨別方法就是聽聽主唱的歌手是誰。
B: They were the most successful band in the world from 1963 until 1970 when Paul McCartney left the band to pursue his own musical career.
從1963年到1 970年,他們一直是最成功的樂隊。直到1970年,保羅·麥卡特尼離開了樂隊去追求自己的音樂事業(yè)。
A: It was really tragic the way John Lennon died, wasn't it?
約翰·列依死得非常慘,對嗎?
B: Yes. He was signing autographs when a fan shot him 5 times in 1980. There's a memorial to him outside his home in New York.
對。1980年他在唱他自己寫的歌時,一個歌迷向他連續(xù)開了5槍。在他紐約的家門外還有一個紀念碑。
A: And then George Harrison died of cancer and now there are only two Beatles left.
后來喬治-哈里森也得癌癥去世了,現(xiàn)在甲殼蟲樂隊就只剩下了兩個人。
B: Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. Paul's wife Linda died of cancer too. He remarried unfortunately that marriage ended after lurid tales of his wife's behaviour in her younger days emerged in the press.
他們是林里·斯達爾和保羅·麥卡特尼。保羅的妻子琳達也死于癌癥。后來他再婚了,可不幸的是媒體大肆報道他妻予年輕時的一些聳人聽聞的行為,之后他們就離婚了。
A: I hope he finds true love at last. After all, their music has given us a lot of love, right?
我希望他最終能找到真愛。畢竟他們的音樂給了我們很多的愛,不是嗎?
B: Yeah, she loves me yeah, yeah,y call!
是的,“她愛我,耶耶耶!”(歌詞)
