（单词翻译）

 It's called U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha literally1 Carmen of Khayelitsha. 这个电影叫U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha就是卡雅利沙的卡门。

I want to play you a tiny clip of it now for no other reason than to give you proof positive  我给各位演奏一小段只是想向您展示，
that there is nothing tiny about South African music making.  南非的音乐创作是非常伟大的。
Something which I find utterly2 enchanting3 about South African music making is that it's so free. 我感受到了南非音乐创作中迷人的是其自由性。
South Africans just make music really freely.  南非人自由地创造音乐。
And I think, in no small way,  我认为主要是，
that's due to one fundamental fact:  由于一个重要事实：
they're not bound to a system of notation4.  他们不受谱号的约束。
They don't read music.  他们从不读音乐。
They trust their ears.  他们相信自己的耳朵。
You can teach a bunch of South Africans a tune5 in about five seconds flat.  你只教一个南非人5秒的调子。
And then, as if by magic,  然后奇迹般地，
they will spontaneously improvise6 a load of harmony around that tune because they can.   他们就能依此即兴创作出和谐的曲子因为他们有这个能力。
