【雅思听力】摇滚音乐(1/4)
[b][u]全文听写,英式拼法[/b][/u] [b][color=#408080]HINTS[/b] Mary Zed Hawks Anita Lyons [/color] Hi, Mary. Do you like music? Yes, very much, especially classical music. Do you like rock music, Mary? No, I think it's too noisy. Do you like rock music? Yes, I do. You know rock stars play exciting music and they always wear unusual clothes. I often go to their concerts. Oh, do you? I don't understand why rock stars are so famous? Oh, it's because of their fans that rock stars are famous and earn a lot of money. You know their fans go to their concerts, buy their records and wear the same kind of clothes. I see. Did you watch TV last night? No, I didn't. I went to a concert last night and got back home very late. What was on? Zed Hawks was interviewed on TV last night. Really, he is one of my favourite stars. He is world famous and he is also very rich. At least I suppose so. He was given concerts in 12 countries and sold over 20 million records. Yes, you are right. He owns three magnificent houses, five cars and a private plane too. What did he say on the TV interview? He didn't say anything. During the TV interview Anita Lyons suggested that Zed should behave better because his fans imitate him. Yes, go on. He reacted very angrily, and walked out. The interview lasted less than two minutes. I was disappointed when I heard this. He really behaved badly. You know like politicians and film stars, rock stars need the public. They earn their money from the public. So why shouldn't the public criticise them? I'm not saying that famous people should always behave well. What I am saying is that they shouldn't complain when they are criticised. If they do, they will lose their fans. I'm not a fan of Zed Hawks any more. Mary,你喜欢音乐吗? 非常喜欢,特别是古典音乐。 你喜欢摇滚乐吗,Mary? 我不喜欢,摇滚乐太吵了,你喜欢摇滚乐吗? 是的,你知道摇滚歌手经常演奏令人兴奋的音乐,而且他们穿不寻常的衣服。我经常去听他们的音乐会。 是吗?我不明白为什么摇滚乐手如此著名? 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

迷醉的慰藉:Snow Patrol - How To Be Dead
这是我听Snow Patrol的第一首歌,那时的头脑里,大概也纠缠着一堆混乱不堪的念头,所以才执着的望着How To Be Dead的标题出神。 当Gary Lightbody的声音轻轻响起,我仿佛是被瞬间击中。明明是忧伤的调调,可是却无法抗拒的他吟唱里的温暖,轻轻的扣动着心弦,不忍打断他的每个字句。 他是那样的诚恳的唱出他的惆怅他的无奈他挣扎的抵抗,我的心仿佛也随着悬到一个莫名的地方,各种情绪不断的翻滚,随着音乐上下起伏。 每当唱起这首歌的时候,思绪总是不知道飘向了何方,我甚至不知道我在唱什么,可是却有一种奇妙的安慰。也许是他娓娓道来的话语让我得以宁静,又或是这旋律有着安抚人心的力量。 愿
