Lesson 42 Not very musical
并非很懂音樂
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
What happened when the sake charmer began to play jazz?
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest.
當(dāng)我們穿過舊德里的市場時走了很長一段路,我們在一個廣場上停下來休息。
After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him.
過了一會兒,我們注意到廣場的那一邊有一個帶著兩個大筐的耍蛇人,于是就走過去看看。
As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets.
他一見我們,就拿起了一個長長的上面鑲有硬幣的管樂器,并掀開了一個筐的蓋子。
When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake.
當(dāng)他開始吹奏一支曲子時,我們才第一次看到那條蛇。
It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe.
它從筐里探出身子,隨著樂器的擺動而扭動。
We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs.
當(dāng)耍蛇人突然又吹奏起爵士樂和現(xiàn)代流行樂曲時,
The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly.
我們感到非常驚奇。然而那蛇卻還是緩慢地“舞動”著。
It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
顯然,它分辨不出印度音樂和爵士樂!
