MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

字號:

(Sound of piano playing)
    laurance——Listen!Somebody's playing the piano.
    soony——Yeah,it sounds nice,doesn't it?I wish I could play a musical instrument.
    laurance——Don't you play the violin?
    soony——No,but my sister does.Actually,she's pretty good at it.
    laurance——I took flute lessons for a couple of years,but I never learned to play very well.I guess I don't have any musical talent.
    soony——Oh,that's not true.You sing very well.I can't even do that!
    注解:
    1)play the piano:說演奏某種樂器時,樂器前要加定冠詞,下句中還有play the violin.
    2)It sounds nice……:sound是系動詞,nice是表語。此句與you look happy是同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)。
    3)wish用以表示愿望,其賓語從句中的動詞必須要虛擬語氣。
    4)musical instrument:樂器。
    5)She's……good at it:be good at sth.是擅長做某事。
    6)took flute lessons:原意是上笛子課。
    7)talent:天資,才能。
    譯文
    laurance——你聽!有人在彈鋼琴。
    soony——是的,真好聽,不是嗎?我要是會演奏什么樂器就好了。
    laurance——你不是會拉提琴嗎?
    soony——不會。我姐姐會拉。說實(shí)在的,她小提琴拉得相當(dāng)好。
    laurance——我學(xué)過一兩年笛子。但我從來沒有吹好過。我想我沒有什么音樂天賦。
    soony——噢,那可不是。你歌唱得非常好。我連唱歌都不會。
