Victoria: I see that you have a really extensive music collection.
我看到你收藏了很多種音樂。
J.D.: Yeah, I like a lot of different genres of music.
是啊,我喜歡很多不同的音樂。
Victoria: Do you have the new J.McQ album? He’s my favorite artist. I just got it and I like all ofthe tracks on it.
你有新的J. MCQ專輯嗎?他是我最喜愛的大師。我剛剛買到專輯,我喜歡里面的所有曲目。
J.D.: No, I haven’t heard it yet. Do you have it on your MP3 player?
我沒有聽說過它。你有MP3播放器有專輯歌曲嗎?
Victoria: Yeah, here, I’ve cued up the first track.
有,在這兒,我插入的第一首曲目。
J.D.: Hmm…I like the beat of the first song, but I’m not blown away by the rest of it. It’s also areally bad mix. The bass is up too high; you can hardly hear the treble. Is the whole album likethat?
嗯... ...我喜歡的第一首歌曲的節(jié)拍,但其余的歌曲我不怎么喜歡。這也是一個非常糟糕的混合。低音漲得太高,你很難聽到高音。整張專輯都這樣嗎?
Victoria: Yeah, I guess so. I didn’t notice. Maybe the volume wasn’t up high enough.
是的,我猜是這樣。我沒有注意到。也許音量不夠高。
J.D.: No, it was up high enough. Maybe he’s just not that good a vocalist and the soundengineers are trying to cover it up in the mixing.
不,音量已經最高了。也許他不是沒有那么好的歌手,而音響師試圖通過混音來掩蓋他的聲音。
Victoria: Are you kidding? He’s an amazing singer. Come on, listen to another track. I’m sureyou’ll change your mind.
你在開玩笑嗎?他是一個驚人的的歌手。來吧,聽另一首曲目。我相信你會改變主意。
J.D.: No, thanks. I’d rather listen to a bunch of fighting cats than listen to anymore of J.McQ!
不,謝謝。我寧愿聽一群貓大家也不愿意聽J.McQ的歌了!
