American music star Beyoncé released her new album Cowboy Carter last week. The singer said the country music record was born of an earlier experience in which she "did not feel welcomed" by the country music industry.
美国音乐明星碧昂斯上周发布了她的新专辑《Cowboy Carter》。这位歌手表示,这张乡村音乐唱片源于她之前的一段经历,当时她“感觉不受乡村音乐行业的欢迎”。

Country music stars Linda Martell and Willie Nelson are among the album's guest artists. Beyoncé also sings duets with Miley Cyrus and Post Malone and covers the famous Dolly Parton song Jolene.
乡村音乐明星琳达·马泰尔和威利·纳尔逊是这张专辑的客串艺人。碧昂斯还与麦莉·塞勒斯和波斯特·马龙合唱,并翻唱多莉·帕顿的名曲《Jolene》。

Experts and fans say Beyoncé's move into country music is a reclaiming and honoring of the legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture. That history, they argue, has gone largely unrecognized in some mainstream music circles.
专家和歌迷表示,碧昂斯进军乡村音乐是对美国黑人在乡村音乐和文化中的遗产的一种回收和尊重。他们认为,这段历史在一些主流音乐界基本上没有得到承认。

Many Black musicians try to make it in country music but have trouble being accepted by its mostly white fans.
许多黑人音乐家试图在乡村音乐领域取得成功,但却难以被以白人为主的乐迷所接受。

Negative experience with country fans
与乡村音乐爱好者的负面经历

Beyoncé said the record is a reaction to her experience from 2016 when she released the song Daddy Lessons. She performed the song with the country group The Chicks at the Country Music Awards. Some country music fans said Beyoncé did not belong place at the event.
碧昂斯表示,这张专辑是对她2016年发行歌曲《Daddy Lessons》的经历的回应。她在乡村音乐奖上与乡村乐队the Chicks一起表演了这首歌。一些乡村音乐迷说碧昂斯不属于这次活动。

Beyoncé's Jolene comes with an introduction from Dolly Parton herself. She speaks about Beyonce's song Sorry from 2016, saying that it reminded her of the story in Jolene. Parton and Nelson also appear in other parts of the record, introducing songs like a radio DJ.
碧昂斯的乔琳娜由多莉·帕顿亲自介绍。她谈到了碧昂斯2016年的歌曲《Sorry》,说这首歌让她想起了《Jolene》中的故事。帕顿和尼尔森也出现在唱片的其他部分,像电台DJ一样介绍歌曲。

Guest artist Linda Martell was the first Black female singer to appear at the famous Nashville, Tennessee, live music site, The Grand Ole' Opry in 1969.
1969年,客座艺术家琳达·马泰尔是第一位出现在田纳西州纳什维尔著名的现场音乐现场the Grand Ole' Opry的黑人女歌手。

Country preview
国家预览

In the weeks leading up to the album release, Beyoncé posted images of herself in cowboy hats and other clothing linked to country life. The artist grew up in Houston, Texas, where country music is extremely popular. She has talked in the past about how she is connected to country music and southern culture.
在专辑发行前的几周,碧昂斯发布了自己戴着牛仔帽和其他与乡村生活有关的服装的照片。这位艺术家在德克萨斯州的休斯顿长大,那里的乡村音乐非常流行。她过去曾谈到她是如何与乡村音乐和南方文化联系在一起的。

She called the new record "a deeper dive into the history of Country music."
她称这张新唱片是“对乡村音乐史的一次更深入的探索”。

Some country music experts say Beyoncé is walking in the footsteps of the Black country singers who came before her. They point to past singers Lesley Riddle and Charley Pride and current singers including Jimmie Allen, Mickey Guyton and Rhiannon Giddens.
一些乡村音乐专家表示,碧昂斯正在走在她之前的黑人乡村歌手的足迹上。他们指出,过去的歌手莱斯利·里德尔和查理·普赖德以及现在的歌手包括吉米·艾伦、米奇·盖顿和里安农·吉登斯。

She released two songs earlier this year – Texas Hold'em and 16 Carriages – using a clear country "twang" and instruments common to country songs. Texas Hold'em recently reached the top spot on Billboard magazine's "Hot Country Songs" chart.
今年早些时候,她发布了两首歌曲——《Texas Hold’em》和《16马车》——使用了乡村歌曲中常见的乐器和明显的乡村“鼻音”。《德州扑克》最近登上了《公告牌》杂志“热门乡村歌曲”排行榜的榜首。

Just before Cowboy Carter came out, Beyoncé made a post on Instagram. She said "I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart." She went on to say that in the future she hopes people will no longer need to talk about a singer's race when discussing music.
就在《牛仔卡特》上映之前,碧昂斯在Instagram上发了一条帖子。她说:“我很荣幸能成为第一位在热门乡村歌曲排行榜上获得冠军单曲的黑人女性。”她接着说,她希望未来人们在讨论音乐时不再需要谈论歌手的种族。
