The english we speak(BBC教學)第138期:Phrases for festivals 有關音樂節的短語
Yang Li: Hello, I'm Yang Li and this is The English We Speak.
楊莉：大家好，我是楊莉，這裏是地道英語節目。William: I'm William Kremer. Welcome to the programme.
威廉：我是威廉·克萊默。歡迎收聽節目。Yang Li: Ah William, I am so excited!
楊莉：啊，威廉，我真是太興奮了！
William: Really? What's brought this on, then?
威廉：是嗎？那是什麼讓你這麼興奮？Yang Li: This weekend something really really really great is happening! Do you know what it is?
楊莉：這週末會有非常非常非常棒的事情發生！你知道是什麼嗎？William: No...
威廉：不知道。Yang Li: It has to do with music...
楊莉：和音樂有關……William: Hmm. Is it a big opera?
威廉：嗯。是大型歌劇嗎？Yang Li: No, it takes place outdoors...
楊莉：不是，是在戶外進行的……William: Ah, is it opera in the park?
威廉：啊，是在公園裏上演的歌劇嗎？Yang Li: No, no, it's not opera. It's Glastonbury!
楊莉：不，不是，不是歌劇。是格拉斯頓伯裏音樂節！William: Oh wow, the huge music festival! I've never been. What's the line-up this year?
威廉：哦，哇，那個盛大的音樂節！我從來沒去看過。今年的演出陣容都有誰？Yang Li: Oh no, you don't need to queue. You can just get tickets online. But of course, they are sold out now.
楊莉：哦，不，你不需要排隊。你可以在網上訂票。不過當然，現在票已經售完了。William: No, no, the line-up, Li. Who's playing?
威廉：哦，不，李，我說的是演出陣容。都有誰出演？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...
楊莉：哦，我明白了。有U2樂隊、化學兄弟樂隊、艦隊狐狸樂隊和大腕樂隊……當然還有很多樂隊。不過威廉，我對line-up這個詞有些困惑……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，在美國，wait in line的意思是排隊。但是line-up指的是所有出演音樂節的樂隊。Yang Li: Oh right. So, is this phrase only used for music festivals?
楊莉：哦，好。那這個短語只用在音樂節中嗎？William: No, it isn't. Listen to this:
威廉：不，不是的。來聽這個例子：Man: Is Jones playing this weekend?
男1：瓊斯這週末會參加比賽嗎？Man 2: No, he's still injured so he's not in the line-up.
男2：不，他的傷還沒好，所以他並不在球員陣容中。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，在這個例子中，line-up指的是參加比賽的運動隊成員。球員陣容。Yang Li: Well anyway, it's a pretty good line-up at Glastonbury this weekend. I can't wait.
楊莉：好，不管怎麼樣說，本週末的格拉斯頓伯裏音樂節陣容非常強大。我都等不及了。William: Who's headlining on Sunday?
威廉：那週日的主角是誰？Yang Li: Eh, what?
楊莉：啊，什麼？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。誰是主角？哦，我知道你爲什麼會困惑了。To headline並不是說報紙的頭條。而是指音樂節中的主角。主角也可以說headline act。Yang Li: Oh right. I think Beyoncé Knowles is headlining on Sunday. She is the headline act.
楊莉：哦，好的。我想週日的主角是碧昂絲·諾爾斯。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。我聽說過她。這是不是她的舞蹈，就像這樣……Yang Li: Oh William, stop it! Stop it! You are not Beyoncé Knowles! It looks wrong!
楊莉：哦，威廉，停下，停下！你可不是碧昂絲·諾爾斯！太難看了！William: (laughing) OK, OK. So, what time do you leave?
威廉：（笑聲）好吧，好吧。那你什麼時候走？Yang Li: Eh?
楊莉：什麼？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：你什麼時候去格拉斯頓伯裏音樂節？莉，你知道，那裏離這裏很遠。你現在就應該上火車了。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.
楊莉：哦，不，我不去！你知道，那花費太大了，而且音樂節會非常泥濘！而且我也不喜歡音樂節的衛生間。哦，不，不，不，那不適合我。我就在電視上看就好了。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！去看音樂節的觀衆們，我們希望你們度過美好的時光。我希望演出陣容很棒，主角不會讓人失望。再見！Yang Li: Bye.
