純正地道美語 第153期(外教講解):組建樂隊
A: I’m forming a music band.
B: Do you already know how to play an instrument?
A: Uh... Yeah! I’ve told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well, I would like to form a rock band.
B: Aside from yourself, who are the other members of the band?
A: We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who plays bass. Although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer. You told me that you had some musical talent, right?
B: Yes, I’m a singer.
A: Perfect. So you can audition this weekend here at my house.
B: Great! Wait here? You don’t have enough room for the amplifiers, microphones or even your drums! By the way where do you keep them or practice?
A: Dude? What are you talking about? It’s right here! All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we are set!

B:除了你，其他的樂隊成員呢？
A:有1人彈吉他，另2個彈貝斯，儘管我們目前還沒找到主唱。你告訴過我你有音樂天賦，對吧？
B:是的，我是歌手。
A:太好了。這周你可以來我家試唱。
B:太好了。等下。你家沒有足夠的空間來放擴音機，麥克風，甚至連放鼓的地方都沒有。順便問下，你將樂器放哪兒？在何處練習呢？
