Professor: Let's see if Ernie can catch up.
E: That sounds pretty good. ____________________?
B: Not if you pay for it. For example, __________________.
E: OK, I'm going to get iTunes and download some Vanilla Ice songs.
B: Awesome. _______________________.
Professor, 他们说这些歌很catchy, 这是什么意思呢?
P: You can say a song is "catchy" _____________________.
哦,就是“好听,上口”的意思。
P: Exactly. Sometimes a "catchy" song can get "stuck in your head."
不过, 我觉得Vanilla Ice的歌可没有这种魔力。
B: Now that we know what kind of music we will play, we have to decide what each of us will do.
E: Well, _____________________. Do you know how to rap?
B: Oh yeah! I'm a great rapper. And I know all the Vanilla Ice lyrics by heart.
E: Excellent. _____________________.
俩人一唱一跳,跟真的似的! 可我对他们实在没信心。
P: Well, you never know, maybe they will be really good and surprise you. But Winnie, do you know what song lyrics are?
当然知道, lyrics就是歌词。不过, to “know the lyrics by heart”是什么意思呢?
P: ________________________.
Oh, 原来to know something by heart就是“记住”、“熟练于心”的意思。
B: But Ernie, we're still missing something. We need someone to play the music!
E: Oh right ... you know, my friend Eric is a DJ. Maybe he would like to play with us.
B: Hmm ... _____________________?
E: Well, I don't know, but we can find out. ______________.
P: Well Winnie, can you guess what it means to "have an ear" for a kind of music?
Sure,这就是说对某种音乐有天生的感觉和才华。唉,真希望Eric能让这两个人清醒点,帮他们选几首好歌。
P: Let's hope so. Tune in next time to find out!
