今天的這段對話，在討論Rain，

你覺得“韓國流行歌王”Rain為什么那么受歡迎

來聽今天的講解:

A: Hi, would it be possible for you to give me a hand? I'm looking for South Korean pop.

你好，能幫我個忙嗎？我想買韓國流行歌曲。

B:Yes, no problem. The section is over here, we have material by BoA. Se7en and Rain.

好的．沒問題。流行歌曲在那邊，我們有寶兒、Se7 en和Rain的唱片。

A: Rain ! That's what I'm looking for. my friend bought me a CD of his and now I can't stop listening to it !

Rain！我就是要找他的唱片，我朋友給我買了一張他的CD．現(xiàn)在我聽得愛不釋手。

B: He's really popular, we call him "The South Korean King of- Pop". He's huge in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand and across much of Asia.

他非常受歡迎，我們叫他“韓國流行歌王”。他在日本、香港、中國、泰國和亞洲很多國家都很有名。

A: Really? I had no idea. Why do you think he's so popular?

真的嗎？我不知道。你覺得他為什么那么受歡迎？

B: Well, it's a combination of his angelic face, great body and Justin Timberlake style dance moves. He stars in soap operas as well as being a singer.

是這樣，他長得純真可愛，身材健美．會跳賈斯汀·汀布萊克式的舞蹈。還在很多電視劇中擔(dān)任主角和歌手一．

A: I see. Du you know more about him?

我知道。那你還了解什么更多的信息嗎？

B: Actually, yes. I'm a big fan, you see. He's 23, his real name is Ji Hoon Jung and he used to be poor. He lived in Seoul in a one room apartment, but dreamed of being famous .He must have pushed himself very hard to get where he is today.

當(dāng)然了解。你知道，我是他的大粉絲。他23歲，真名叫鄭智薰，過去很窮。他住在首爾的一套一居室公寓里，但夢想成為名人。他肯定是不斷鞭策自己才取得今天這樣的成就。

A: Yes, many famous people come from humble beginnings.

是的，很多名人都出身貧寒。

B: Did you know he was listed on Time magazines "World's Most Influential People" list?

他被列入《時代周刊》“世界上最有影響力的人物”排行榜，你知道這個嗎？

A: Really? I guess he must have a lot of influence in South Korea. maybe throughout Asia. Through his music. soaps and so on.

真的嗎？我想位在韓國的影響一定很大，也許遍及整個亞洲。包括他的唱片、電視劇等等。

B: He plans to star in a movie next year but he says he has no desire to be in a big budget film. Maybe that's because he was a soap actor.

他計劃明年在一部電影中擔(dān)任主角，但他說不想演預(yù)算投入太大的電影。這也許是因為他是個電視劇演員的緣故吧。

A:Probably. Do you think he will ever be famous in the West?

有這種可能。你認(rèn)為他在西方國家也會成名嗎？

B: I hope so. At the moment he's studying English day and night because he wants to become famous in America. Before he visited the U. S. . Rain already had a fan base, thanks to Internet music sites. satellite TV and DVDs of his soap operas. He's also had two sell out concerts in the small venue at Madison Square Garden

我希望如此。他正在日夜學(xué)習(xí)英語，因為他想在美國成名。憑借互聯(lián)網(wǎng)音樂網(wǎng)站、衛(wèi)星電視和他拍的電視劇的DVD．他在去美國之前已經(jīng)擁有了自己的粉絲團(tuán)。此外，他還在麥迪遜廣場花園的小球館舉辦了兩場音樂會，全部爆滿。

A: Oh, so he's pretty popular over there already then?

噢，那他現(xiàn)在是不是在那邊已經(jīng)很紅了？

B: Yes. And he's releasing an English language album later this year

是的，而且他今年下半年就要發(fā)行英文專輯。

A: Great! Now I will be able to understand his songs！

太好了！那樣我就能聽懂他的歌曲了。

B:That's true.

沒錯。
