Gucci: I'm so excited to be here. It's hard to believe that I can see the Twins face to face, and get their signatures. Maybe I will get the chance to have a photograph with them…
May: Calm down, sweety. It's a long queue, and also their signatures are not free. You get them only after you buy their new released CD.
Gucci: Come on, May. It's the time of my life. It's a wonderful thing that they issued their album here with this signature court.
May: You are such a big fan of them. Well, do you know when they started to sing?
Gucci: Sure. Two years ago, they took part in a singing contest, and won the first place. After that, their fans appeared in a rush.
May: What about their singing standard?
Gucci: You've got to the point. They have very sweet voices.
May: Can they do high notes?
Gucci: I think so. But they don't rely on hitting high notes to attract you. The point is their songs can always touch your soul, making you feel pure.
May: Sounds good. Hey, the poster on the wall says that they are going to hold a concert next Friday. Will you be there?
Gucci: Yeah. I've got two tickets. Would you like to join me?
May: I'd love to. But I heard that many pop stars do lip-synch these days. Do you think it's possible they would do this?
Gucci: They won't do that. As far as I am concerned, they are strongly against it.
May: Cool. What about you? Do you think lip-synch should be dealt with seriously?
Gucci: Absolutely! What the audience wants to hear is their real voice. That's what a live show is all about . We don't like the engineered gloss made in a recording studio.
May: I agree with you on that. Much better to sound off sometimes than to lip-synch.
Gucci: Exactly. Well, let's be quiet. Our turn is coming soon.
聽(tīng)看學(xué)
古奇: 到這里來(lái)我真的太興奮了。很難相信我竟然可以面對(duì)面地看到Twins,還可以得到她們的簽名。也許，我還可以有跟她們合影的機(jī)會(huì)……
阿美: 冷靜一點(diǎn)，親愛(ài)的。隊(duì)伍那么長(zhǎng)，況且她們的簽名又不是免費(fèi)的。你得買了她們發(fā)行的新唱片才可以得到的啊。
古奇: 拜托，阿美。這可是我人生中的重要時(shí)刻。她們來(lái)這里開(kāi)簽售會(huì)發(fā)行新唱片多棒啊。
阿美: 你可真是她們的超級(jí)粉絲啊。不過(guò)，你知道她們是從什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始唱歌的嗎？
古奇: 那當(dāng)然，兩年前，她們參加了一個(gè)歌唱比賽，并且?jiàn)Z得了第一名。在那之后，她們的粉絲數(shù)量很快地?cái)U(kuò)大了。
阿美: 她們的歌唱水平怎么樣？
古奇: 你說(shuō)到點(diǎn)子上了。她們的嗓音非常甜美。
阿美: 她們能唱高音嗎？
古奇: 我覺(jué)得可以。不過(guò)她們不靠高音來(lái)吸引你。關(guān)鍵在于她們的歌可以打動(dòng)你的靈魂，讓人感覺(jué)到純凈。
阿美: 聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。嗨，墻上的海報(bào)說(shuō)下周五她們要舉辦一場(chǎng)演唱會(huì)。你會(huì)去聽(tīng)嗎？
古奇: 我去，我有兩張票呢。你想和我一起去嗎？
阿美: 我很樂(lè)意啊。不過(guò)我聽(tīng)說(shuō)現(xiàn)在有很多流行歌手都假唱。你覺(jué)得她們有可能也那么做嗎？
古奇: 她們不會(huì)的。據(jù)我所知，她們都很強(qiáng)烈地反對(duì)假唱。
阿美: 很酷。你呢？你覺(jué)得應(yīng)該嚴(yán)肅地對(duì)待假唱事件嗎？
古奇: 當(dāng)然了。觀眾想聽(tīng)的就是他們的真嗓音啊。這可是現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出的全部啊。我們都不會(huì)喜歡在錄音室里面合成的虛假的東西。
阿美: 我同意你的觀點(diǎn)。即使失聲也比假唱強(qiáng)。
古奇: 沒(méi)錯(cuò)。對(duì)了，我們別說(shuō)話了吧。快輪到我們了。
