Ernie和Beth是大學(xué)同學(xué)，倆人想組個(gè)樂隊(duì)。不過，他們要先了解一下彼此的音樂口味是否相同。

Professor: So, let's find out what kind of music they like.

Ernie: So Beth, what kind of music do you listen to?

Beth: I listen to a lot of hip hop. What about you?

Ernie: I mostly listen to pop music, but I like a lot of different stuff.

Beth: Yes, me too. I mostly listen to hip hop, but there are many genres of music I like.

Professor: So Winnie, did you hear the music genres each of them likes?

Professor Bowman, 我正想問您，"genre"是什么意思??？

Professor: It means "style" or "kind." For example, you can say a "music genre" or a "movie genre."

噢，原來 "genre" g-e-n-r-e就是類型，流派的意思。這么說，Beth 常聽的是"hip hop"，也就是嘻哈音樂。而Ernie常聽"pop,"流行樂。Hmm ...我覺得他們的口味差得挺遠(yuǎn)的。

Professor: But are those the only kinds of music they listen to?

那倒不是。他們倆人都喜歡很多其它類型的音樂，也許還是能找到共同之處的。

Professor: Well, let's see. In the next section listen for the phrase "to get into something," which means to start to like something.

Ernie: How did you get into hip hop?

Beth: Well, all my friends listen to it, so I became a big fan too.

Ernie: Who is your favorite hip hop artist?

Beth: I'm a big fan of Snoop Dogg.

Professor: Winnie, why does Beth like hip hop?

她說，她喜歡上嘻哈樂是因?yàn)樗呐笥讯紣勐犨@種音樂。而且，她還是Snoop Dogg “史努比狗狗”的粉絲。我可不喜歡Snoop Dogg，我覺得他早就過時(shí)了。

Professor: Well, even though you don't like him, Snoop Dogg is still popular. Now let's find out why Ernie likes pop music.

Beth: What about you, Ernie? How did you get into pop music?

Ernie: Well I always hear it on the radio, so I started to get into it.

Beth: Yeah, if something is on the radio it must be really good.

Ernie: I totally agree!

Professor: So did you hear how Ernie got into pop music, Winnie?

他呀，是因?yàn)槔下爮V播里播的流行歌曲，所以就喜歡上了。要讓我說啊，他跟Beth都沒有什么音樂鑒賞能力，只會跟著別人走，人云亦云。

Professor: So if they started a band, you wouldn't go to see them?

肯定不會！不過，我們還是先來聽聽他們喜歡什么樂隊(duì)吧！

Beth: What are the pop groups that you like?

Ernie: Oh, there are so many good ones! I loved the Spice Girls. They were so cool!

Beth: I agree! I cried for a week when they broke up.

Ernie: I was really sad too, but at least I can still listen to their CDs.

什么什么？ Ernie最喜歡的樂隊(duì)居然是辣妹組合！他們倆的音樂品味還真是有問題。不過，

Professor Bowman, 一個(gè)樂隊(duì)難道也能像情侶那樣"break up", 分手么？

Professor: Yes. When a band decides not to play together anymore, you can say it "broke up."

我明白了，break up在這里是 “解散”的意思。難道Ernie就沒想到，辣妹組合解散是因?yàn)樗齻兲珷€嗎？

Professor: I don't know ... some of their songs were good.

Wait, professor Bowman, 難道你也是她們的粉絲？

Professor: Of course not! I was ... uh ... just listening to some of their songs to prepare for this class.

Sure ...

Beth: You know Ernie, it seems we both like the same artists.

Ernie: Yes, we do. I think we have the same musical tastes.

Beth: But if we're going to start a band, we have to be able to sing and dance. Can you do that?

Ernie: I'm not a very good singer, but I'm a really great dancer! I love hip hop dancing.

Beth: Great! I'll sing, and you can dance in our band.

Professor: Winnie, is Ernie a better singer or dancer?

他說自己歌唱得一般，可舞跳得特別棒。不過，我看Beth和Ernie的音樂品味都不怎么樣，肯定沒人去看。

Professor: Well, we'll have to listen next time to find out!
