The english we speak(BBC教学)第138期:Phrases for festivals 有关音乐节的短语
Yang Li: Hello, I'm Yang Li and this is The English We Speak.
杨莉：大家好，我是杨莉，这里是地道英语节目。William: I'm William Kremer. Welcome to the programme.
威廉：我是威廉·克莱默。欢迎收听节目。Yang Li: Ah William, I am so excited!
杨莉：啊，威廉，我真是太兴奋了！
William: Really? What's brought this on, then?
威廉：是吗？那是什么让你这么兴奋？Yang Li: This weekend something really really really great is happening! Do you know what it is?
杨莉：这周末会有非常非常非常棒的事情发生！你知道是什么吗？William: No...
威廉：不知道。Yang Li: It has to do with music...
杨莉：和音乐有关……William: Hmm. Is it a big opera?
威廉：嗯。是大型歌剧吗？Yang Li: No, it takes place outdoors...
杨莉：不是，是在户外进行的……William: Ah, is it opera in the park?
威廉：啊，是在公园里上演的歌剧吗？Yang Li: No, no, it's not opera. It's Glastonbury!
杨莉：不，不是，不是歌剧。是格拉斯顿伯里音乐节！William: Oh wow, the huge music festival! I've never been. What's the line-up this year?
威廉：哦，哇，那个盛大的音乐节！我从来没去看过。今年的演出阵容都有谁？Yang Li: Oh no, you don't need to queue. You can just get tickets online. But of course, they are sold out now.
杨莉：哦，不，你不需要排队。你可以在网上订票。不过当然，现在票已经售完了。William: No, no, the line-up, Li. Who's playing?
威廉：哦，不，李，我说的是演出阵容。都有谁出演？Yang Li: Oh, I see. There's U2 and the Chemical Brothers and Fleet Foxes and Elbow... and loads and loads of bands of course. But William, I'm confused about this phrase line-up...
杨莉：哦，我明白了。有U2乐队、化学兄弟乐队、舰队狐狸乐队和大腕乐队……当然还有很多乐队。不过威廉，我对line-up这个词有些困惑……William: Well, in America to 'wait in line' means to queue. But a line-up refers to all the bands that are playing in a festival.
威廉：好，在美国，wait in line的意思是排队。但是line-up指的是所有出演音乐节的乐队。Yang Li: Oh right. So, is this phrase only used for music festivals?
杨莉：哦，好。那这个短语只用在音乐节中吗？William: No, it isn't. Listen to this:
威廉：不，不是的。来听这个例子：Man: Is Jones playing this weekend?
男1：琼斯这周末会参加比赛吗？Man 2: No, he's still injured so he's not in the line-up.
男2：不，他的伤还没好，所以他并不在球员阵容中。William: So in that example 'the line-up' meant the members of a sports team playing in a match. The line-up.
威廉：所以，在这个例子中，line-up指的是参加比赛的运动队成员。球员阵容。Yang Li: Well anyway, it's a pretty good line-up at Glastonbury this weekend. I can't wait.
杨莉：好，不管怎么样说，本周末的格拉斯顿伯里音乐节阵容非常强大。我都等不及了。William: Who's headlining on Sunday?
威廉：那周日的主角是谁？Yang Li: Eh, what?
杨莉：啊，什么？William: Headlining. Who's headlining? Ah, I think I know why you're confused. 'To headline' doesn't mean to be in the newspapers. It means to be the main act in a festival. The main act is 'the headline act'.
威廉：主角。谁是主角？哦，我知道你为什么会困惑了。To headline并不是说报纸的头条。而是指音乐节中的主角。主角也可以说headline act。Yang Li: Oh right. I think Beyoncé Knowles is headlining on Sunday. She is the headline act.
杨莉：哦，好的。我想周日的主角是碧昂丝·诺尔斯。她是主角。William: Ah yes, Beyoncé. I've heard of her. Is she the one that does that dance, like this...
威廉：好的，碧昂斯。我听说过她。这是不是她的舞蹈，就像这样……Yang Li: Oh William, stop it! Stop it! You are not Beyoncé Knowles! It looks wrong!
杨莉：哦，威廉，停下，停下！你可不是碧昂丝·诺尔斯！太难看了！William: (laughing) OK, OK. So, what time do you leave?
威廉：（笑声）好吧，好吧。那你什么时候走？Yang Li: Eh?
杨莉：什么？William: What time are you going to Glastonbury? It's quite a long way, you know Li. You should probably be getting on a train about now.
威廉：你什么时候去格拉斯顿伯里音乐节？莉，你知道，那里离这里很远。你现在就应该上火车了。Yang Li: Oh no, I'm not going! It costs an absolute fortune, you know, and it can be so muddy! And I don't like the idea of those festival toilets. Oh, no, no, no, it's not for me. I'm just going to watch it on telly.
杨莉：哦，不，我不去！你知道，那花费太大了，而且音乐节会非常泥泞！而且我也不喜欢音乐节的卫生间。哦，不，不，不，那不适合我。我就在电视上看就好了。William: Oh OK, right! Well, for everyone who is going to a music festival this year, we hope you have a fantastic time. I hope that the line-up is great and that the headline act doesn't disappoint. Bye!
威廉：哦，好吧，好的！去看音乐节的观众们，我们希望你们度过美好的时光。我希望演出阵容很棒，主角不会让人失望。再见！Yang Li: Bye.
