【话匣子英语】采访艾利克斯

（单词翻译）

今天采访的是艾利克斯，他从小就受到音乐的熏陶，并且很喜欢各种乐器......

Maura: When did you start playing music? And how did you become so interested in it?

Alexandre: I’ve been playing music for a long time, since I was quite young. I started playing violin, kind of like a Celtic-style violin when I was very young, 7 years old, I believe. Played that until I was in my late teens and kind of gave it up for guitar, which is the cooler instrument. Now I’m not sure if I agree, but back then I thought so.

I still play a little violin, but guitar’s my main thing. I also played trumpet¹ all throughout my high school years.

Maura: Were you in the band in school?

Alexandre: Yeah. I really was. I was actually a band geek. I was really into it. We went on many trips and… Yeah, I played trumpet and I was pretty into it. I still do, but guitar has taken the centre stage these days. But I try… I do what I can, you know, to keep up with it.

Maura: And what kind of music do you normally² play?

Alexandre: Um… It’s rock and roll, I suppose. It has a little bit of an experimental³ side, so it’s a little strange, maybe, nothing you would hear on the radio, maybe. You know, kind of moving in a weirder⁴ direction, I think. So potentially you might be able to hear us on the radio at some point. But yeah, it’s rock music. I’m not really sure what that means anymore, but it’s interesting. I’ll say that.
