大忙人學社交英語口語 55 談論音樂

Hi, Michael. What's that you're listening to?

嗨，Michael。你在聽什么音樂?

Hm? Oh, this? It's Miles Davis. His last album.

嗯?這個嗎?這是邁爾斯·戴維斯的上一張專輯。

Oh. You like jazz, do you?

哦。你挺喜歡爵士樂的。

Oh, yeah, in a big way. You?

對啊，相當喜歡。你呢?

Well, I like some kinds of jazz. I like big band music,for example.

嗯，有幾種爵士樂我還滿喜歡的，像我就蠻喜歡大樂團音樂。

But classical music's more my thing. I like going to chamber music concerts.

不過，古典樂就不太合我的意了。我喜歡聽室內音樂會。

Oh, me, too, but I like going to listen to jazz trumpet.

噢，我也是。不過我喜歡聽的是爵士喇叭。

Oh, yes? Do you play?

噢，是嗎?你會吹嗎?

Yes, a bit, unfortunately for my neighbors! You?

會一點，不過鄰居就倒霉了。你呢?

I played the violin when I was a kid, but I stopped when I left school.

我小時候會拉小提琴，不過離開校園生活以后就沒再拉了。

Oh, right. Oh, listen to this. Wow, it's really exciting!

我明白。噢，天哪，你聽聽這個。哇，真令人興奮!

Isn't it? Just listen to that bass.

可不是嗎，聽聽里面的低音。

Oh, yes. I like it. It's hard to describe, but it's kind of…uplifting?

噢，聽到了，我喜歡。它很難形容，不過讓我覺得很舒服?

It's funky, man! Funky!

那是放克音樂，嘿!放克!
