【话匣子英语】乐队特辑

（单词翻译）

安德鲁和苏珊都喜欢乐队，他们也分别在不同的乐队里.......

Andrew:           Thank you. I especially wanted to talk about my band today, because you also play in a band. And so I thought, hey, why don’t we just do an episode¹ about what it’s like to be in a band and why we like doing this as a hobby?

 

Suzanne:        It’s true, I am in a band. I don’t play an instrument, but I sing; I use my voice.

 

Andrew:           Mmhmm. Well, that’s a very important part.

 

Suzanne:        Yeah, absolutely.

 

Andrew:           Like I mentioned just a second ago, today our topic is about playing in bands, because that’s something that Suzanne and I have in common. We are both musicians and we both play in bands. So, Suzanne, tell me a little bit about you band. I know it’s a relatively² new band. Why don’t you tell us your band name and what kind of music you make?

 

Suzanne:        OK. I’m a little embarrassed about the band name.

 

Andrew:           Oh, everybody is, don’t worry.

 

Suzanne:        We’re still deciding on a band name that we all agree upon. We have not agreed upon a name.

 

Andrew:           OK, so it’s a work in progress?

 

Suzanne:        It’s a, exactly, a work in progress. So right now our band name is called Slush Devils.

 

Andrew:         Slush Devils. That’s a good winter Montreal band name.

 

Suzanne: Which is when we thought of the name, because we were stepping in a lot of puddles⁴ of slush that looked like they were frozen⁵, and then when you exit the car or cross the street and your foot goes into this big puddle³ of cold, mushy, snowy water up to your ankle, and you go, “Man!” You get angry. So that’s where it came from.

 

Andrew: I like it.

 

Suzanne: Our band is, it’s me—I’m the only Anglophone, I’m the American—and the other three guys …

 

Andrew: Are they all from France?

 

Suzanne: Two of them are from France, and one of them is from a small island off of the coast of New Zealand, I’m not going to remember the name at this time. But he is from a small island off the coast of New Zealand and it is a French-speaking island.

 

Andrew: Hmm, that’s really cool.

 

Suzanne: It’s very interesting. They’re all three of them engineers by day.

 

Andrew: They’re all engineers?

 

Suzanne: They’re all engineers by day, and then there’s me, who is not an engineer at all.
