1、标题：美语三级跳 Go English：006C 音乐单元: 高级课程听力内容：P: Ernie and Beth are two students at college and they are starting a musical group together. Today Beth and Ernie are talking to Eric, who is a DJ, to ask him if he wants to join their group.如果我是 Eric，一定拒绝。 Beth跟Ernie的音乐品味可不怎么样。P: Lets see what Eric says abou

2、t this.Eric: Hey guys, thanks for inviting me to join your group. Im pretty interested, but first I just want to know a little bit more about what youre going to play.Beth: Eric, its going to be really great! We want to be a Vanilla Ice cover band!Eric: Umm . did you say you want to start a Vanilla

3、Ice cover band? Youre kidding, right?Ernie: What? Of course not! And we want you to be our DJ.Professor Bowman, 什么叫cover band?P: Winnie, a cover band is a musical group that only plays the songs from one really famous band.噢， cover band专门翻唱某个著名乐队的歌。所以Beth和Ernie的Vanilla Ice cover band就只唱Vanilla Ice的歌

4、喽！这多没创意啊。看来Eric对这个想法也不是很感兴趣。Eric: Umm . you know guys, Vanilla Ice hasnt been popular since the early 1990s. And even then he was pretty terrible. What about playing something more up-to-date?Beth: You know, I like to think of him as classic. His music never really goes out of style.Eric: Right . we

5、ll what are you going to name the group?Ernie: Were going to call it Chocolate Ice. Get the joke? Chocolate Ice instead of Vanilla Ice?Eric: Dont worry, I get the joke. And if theres one thing thats certain, its that everyone will be laughing at you.哎呀， Beth还说Vanilla Ice的歌从不过时- never goes out of sty

6、le! 我觉得，他的歌就从来没有时髦过， he was never in style to begin with!P: Very funny, Winnie. So, what does Eric think of the cover bands name-Chocolate Ice?他觉得这个名字太俗了，肯定会被人笑话。Eric: You know guys, Im not sure I can play in your group. The problem is that . rap music is violent and demeaning to women. I wouldnt fe

7、el comfortable playing it.Beth: Thats not true! Some rappers talk about violence, but a lot of them just talk about money.Eric: I know. and thats bad too! Who wants to listen to someone rap about how much money he has?Beth: Well, if it were about nothing but guns and money, why does it appeal to so

8、many young people?Ernie: I agree with Beth. Besides, hip hop goes way beyond music. Its a whole culture.Eric说他不喜欢嘻哈音乐，因为这种歌的内容充满暴力，而且侮辱女性。 Professor Bowman, Eric不是DJ么？他怎么会不喜欢时下流行的嘻哈音乐呢？P: Well, it sounds like he may be pretending not to like hip hop music so he doesnt have to be in the group.Beth: W

9、ell you know Eric, our group isnt just going to be about music. Ernie is an amazing hip hop dancer. Ernie, show him your dance moves!Ernie: Sure!(Music)Eric: Wow Ernie, your dance moves are so . um . unique. Ive definitely never seen dancing like that before.Ernie: Thanks. Want me to teach you how t

10、o dance like me?Eric: Uh, maybe another time. Ok guys, Ill join your group on one condition.Beth: Great, whats that?Eric: Can I play at gigs with a bag over my head?看来，Eric对Ernie的热舞不敢恭维。不过Eric说他可以加入乐队，不过有个条件，他说的gig是什么意思啊？P: A gig is a performance, usually a small and informal one. You can also call any small or informal job a gig. Eric wants to wear a bag over his head when he plays gigs because he is embarrassed to be seen with this band.哈，原来如此。我明白了， gig在这里就是演出。 Eric说演出时要把头遮住，以免丢人，我现在倒真想看看他们的表演呢！这次的美语三级跳就播送到这里。
