Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil.
Helen: 還有我，Helen。
Neil: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Helen: 在 Real English 這個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，我們來(lái)一起學(xué)學(xué)英語(yǔ)中出現(xiàn)的新短語(yǔ)和表達(dá)方式。今天要學(xué)的新詞兒是什么呢，Neil？
Neil: Today’s new word is 'tribute band'.
Helen: Tribute band？這是什么呀？
Neil: I’ll explain. This phrase is made up of two words 'tribute' and 'band'.
Helen: 由兩個(gè)詞組成, tribute 禮物，貢品; 還有 band 樂(lè)隊(duì)。
Neil: A tribute band is a group of musicians which only plays the music of a famous group – for example The Beatles – as a tribute to them.
Helen: 哦，原來(lái)這個(gè) tribute band 只演奏一些非常出名的，有聲望的樂(lè)隊(duì)的音樂(lè)。
Neil: That’s right.
Helen: 他們很流行嗎？ Neil?
Neil: Well, yes. Nowadays many people love the Beatles, for example, but it is impossible to see them perform live. However, you could go and see a tribute band and have almost the same experience.
Helen: 那現(xiàn)在，有很多這種專門模仿經(jīng)典樂(lè)隊(duì)的樂(lè)隊(duì)嗎？
Neil: Yes. There are tribute bands to Abba, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, and many others.
Insert來(lái)源：考試大
A: I watched The Doors live in concert yesterday.
B: What? That’s impossible. Their singer died in 1971!
A: Well, it wasn’t the real Doors. It was a tribute band, from Australia actually. They were really good.
Helen: 你見過(guò)那些翻唱樂(lè)隊(duì)嗎？Neil?
Neil: Oh yes. I saw an Abba tribute band a while ago. It was fantastic.
Helen: Really? So they were good, then.
Neil: Yes. It’s almost like watching the real thing.
Helen: 那在那么熱烈的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，你有沒有跟著一起唱啊。設(shè)為首頁(yè)
Neil: Yes, of course, that’s the best bit. Everyone sang along.
Helen: 哇哦，那下次還有這樣的演出，記得告訴我，我也要和你一起去體驗(yàn)一下。
Neil: That’s a good idea, Helen. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself.
Helen: 好吧，那讓我們來(lái)復(fù)習(xí)一下今天學(xué)的 – a tribute band – 就是一個(gè)專門模仿已經(jīng)出了名的樂(lè)隊(duì)保留下來(lái)的經(jīng)典曲目，服飾和聲音都是保留著經(jīng)典樂(lè)隊(duì)之前的樣子。
Neil: It looks like we are out of time. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Helen: See you next time
