聽音樂會

Last week I went to the concert with my husband.We got seated at the end of the row becuse we failed to make our reservations.But we still listened well.The theme of the concert was"Human&Peace".It was a great success.The four-hour concert was not only "good value", but also "good rocking".The audience were carried away by the performance.They didn't applaude enthusiastically until the conductor and the orchestra stood up and took a bow.The orchestra really made a hit through their dedication.They performed and recorded most of the classical pieces.And their performance had a personal intensity that made their sound instantly recognizable ,both in the concert & on disk.They have released many albums and people enjoy their music.

上個星期，我和我丈夫去聽音樂會。我們坐在最后一排，因為我們沒能預訂。但是我們仍然聽得很清楚。音樂會的主題是“人類與和平”。它取得了巨大的成功。4小時的音樂會不僅“物有所值”，而且“很震撼”。表演感染了聽眾。直到指揮家和管弦樂隊站起來、鞠個躬，觀眾才熱烈的鼓掌。管弦樂隊通過他們的奉獻，獲得成功。他們表演、錄制了很多古典曲目。他們的演出有個人的情感，這使得他們的聲音在音樂會和唱片上立刻就可以聽出來。他們已經發(fā)布了很多張專輯，人們都喜歡他們的音樂。

爵士樂

One of my first experiences with jazz music was when I was a kid.My dad and I went to a concert and heard Ornette Coleman play with his bands.At the concert I saw him play saxophone,trumpet,flute and even violin.I didn't think he played any of those instruments very well since he always seemed out of tune.His music was painfully lound and the bands that were backing him up sounded more like rock bands than jazz bands.

我第一次體驗爵士樂是在我小時候。我和我爸爸去聽音樂會，聽到Ornette Coleman和他的樂隊在表演。在音樂會上，我看到他吹薩克斯管、吹喇叭、吹長笛，甚至拉小提琴。因為他似乎總是走調，我認為他其它樂器演奏得不好。他的音樂非常大聲，樂隊在支持他，聽起來更像是搖滾樂隊而不是爵士樂隊。

By the middle of the concert I looked over at my dad.He was covering both his ears with his hands and I could tell that the music was grating on his nerves like knives scraping against a blackboard.

音樂會的中間，我看了我爸爸。他用手捂上耳朵，我能看出來這音樂刺激到他的神經，就像小刀在黑板上刮一樣。

On our way home,my dad told me that he first heard Ornette Coleman when he was my age.He said,"Not much has changed.His music was terrible then and it's terrible now".

回家的路上，爸爸告訴我，他第一次聽Ornette Coleman的音樂是在我這個年齡。他說：“沒有什么改變。那時他的音樂很糟糕，現(xiàn)在也很糟糕。”
