今天的這段對(duì)話,在討論康康舞,
康康舞非常流行,聊一聊關(guān)于康康舞的歷史
來聽今天的講解:
A: Hi Tina. I watched a great documentary yesterday, all about the history of the Cancan.
嗨,蒂娜,我昨天看了一個(gè)很棒的紀(jì)錄片,是關(guān)于康康舞歷史的。
B: I watched it too, it was fabulous. I love the special costumes they wear.
我也看了,真是令人難以置信:我喜歡她們穿的特制服裝。
A: Yes, me too. But what I didn't realise is that it started as a dance for the working class. I thought that only rich people could afford to go to watch shows.
我也是。但我不知道它最初是為工人階層跳的舞蹈。我原以為只有富人才有錢去看演出。
B: I think it's a dance that everyone can enjoy, men as well as women, rich and poor.
我認(rèn)為這種舞蹈每個(gè)人都有權(quán)觀賞,不分男女,也不論貴賤。
A: From the 1840s to the 1860s even men danced the cancan !
在19世紀(jì)40年代到60年代間,甚至男人也跳康康舞。
B: Really? That would be a funny sight! I can't imagine men doing the cancan.
真的嗎?那肯定很好看。我想象不出男人們跳康康舞的樣子。
A: Me too. Did you know the word "cancan" actually means scandal?
我也是:你知道嗎?康康舞的原意是指流言、丑聞。
B: Well, I guess the dance is pretty scandalous!
是嗎,我猜是這種舞蹈名聲不好。
A: Have you seen the movie Moulin Rou2e? That's where the cancan was invented, in the club.
你有沒有看過電影<紅磨坊>?康康舞就是從紅磨坊那樣的夜總會(huì)起源的。
B: Yes, I think the documentary said it was invented there in the 1830s.
我看過,有部紀(jì)錄片也說康康舞是19世紀(jì)30年代在夜總會(huì)出現(xiàn)的。
A: But by the mid-19th century it was incredibly popular. so people stared to incorporate it into other stage shows.
但是令人難以置信的是,到了19世紀(jì)中期康康舞變得非常流行,所以人們開始把它融人到其它舞臺(tái)表演節(jié)目中。
B: There was also a famous artist, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, he painted some wonderful cancan-themed pictures.
曾經(jīng)還有一個(gè)藝術(shù)家亨利•圖盧茲•羅特列克,他以康康舞為主題畫了很多精美的作品。
A: Yes, he made lithographs, too. I saw some in the gallery near the park, they were extremely beautiful.
是的,他也畫石版畫。我在公園附近的一個(gè)美術(shù)館看到過一些,畫得特別漂亮。
B: It was so popular everyone wanted to see it, everywhere, in every type of show. I've only ever seen it on television, but I'd love to go to a show, too.
康康舞非常流行,每個(gè)人都想去看看,無論是在哪里,或是什么樣的演出。我曾經(jīng)在電視上看到過,不過我還是想去看一次現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出。
A: Maybe we can find a theatre here chat has cancan shows. I'll look in the newspaper for a number to call.
也許我們能在這兒的某個(gè)劇院看到康康舞的演出。我從報(bào)上找個(gè)聯(lián)系電話問問。
B: Good idea. I think cancan music is also very special, very rec08p.isable. Maybe we can buy a CD of it.
好主意,我想康康舞的音樂也很特別,與眾不同。也許我們可以買張CD聽聽。
A: The most well-known cancan music composer was Jacques Offenbach, have you heard of him?
最著名的康康舞作曲家是雅克•奧芬巴赫,你聽說過他嗎?
B: Not before I watched the documentary, no. But if he is so well-known it should be easy to find his music.
在看這部紀(jì)錄片之前從沒聽說過。不過他要是非常有名的話,應(yīng)該不難找到他的樂曲。
A: I've found something, it says here that the cabaret club has cancan nights on the first Tuesday of every month.
我找到了,上面說每個(gè)月第一個(gè)周二的晚上在歌舞夜總會(huì)有康康舞表演。
B: Let me see…. next Tuesday is the first Tuesday of this month, do you fancy going?
讓我看看……這個(gè)月的第一個(gè)周二就是下周二了,你想去嗎?
A: Definitely !
當(dāng)然想去!
