听音乐会

Last week I went to the concert with my husband.We got seated at the end of the row becuse we failed to make our reservations.But we still listened well.The theme of the concert was"Human&Peace".It was a great success.The four-hour concert was not only "good value", but also "good rocking".The audience were carried away by the performance.They didn't applaude enthusiastically until the conductor and the orchestra stood up and took a bow.The orchestra really made a hit through their dedication.They performed and recorded most of the classical pieces.And their performance had a personal intensity that made their sound instantly recognizable ,both in the concert & on disk.They have released many albums and people enjoy their music.

上个星期，我和我丈夫去听音乐会。我们坐在最后一排，因为我们没能预订。但是我们仍然听得很清楚。音乐会的主题是“人类与和平”。它取得了巨大的成功。4小时的音乐会不仅“物有所值”，而且“很震撼”。表演感染了听众。直到指挥家和管弦乐队站起来、鞠个躬，观众才热烈的鼓掌。管弦乐队通过他们的奉献，获得成功。他们表演、录制了很多古典曲目。他们的演出有个人的情感，这使得他们的声音在音乐会和唱片上立刻就可以听出来。他们已经发布了很多张专辑，人们都喜欢他们的音乐。

爵士乐

One of my first experiences with jazz music was when I was a kid.My dad and I went to a concert and heard Ornette Coleman play with his bands.At the concert I saw him play saxophone,trumpet,flute and even violin.I didn't think he played any of those instruments very well since he always seemed out of tune.His music was painfully lound and the bands that were backing him up sounded more like rock bands than jazz bands.

我第一次体验爵士乐是在我小时候。我和我爸爸去听音乐会，听到Ornette Coleman和他的乐队在表演。在音乐会上，我看到他吹萨克斯管、吹喇叭、吹长笛，甚至拉小提琴。因为他似乎总是走调，我认为他其它乐器演奏得不好。他的音乐非常大声，乐队在支持他，听起来更像是摇滚乐队而不是爵士乐队。

By the middle of the concert I looked over at my dad.He was covering both his ears with his hands and I could tell that the music was grating on his nerves like knives scraping against a blackboard.

音乐会的中间，我看了我爸爸。他用手捂上耳朵，我能看出来这音乐刺激到他的神经，就像小刀在黑板上刮一样。

On our way home,my dad told me that he first heard Ornette Coleman when he was my age.He said,"Not much has changed.His music was terrible then and it's terrible now".

回家的路上，爸爸告诉我，他第一次听Ornette Coleman的音乐是在我这个年龄。他说：“没有什么改变。那时他的音乐很糟糕，现在也很糟糕。”
