M4 reading and vocabulary:你应该了解的有关嬉蹦乐的知识Part 1什么是嬉蹦乐?它是怎样开始的?①嬉蹦乐是一场美国文化运动,始于20世纪70年代纽约的街道舞会,特别是布朗克斯区.嬉蹦乐包含四个主要元素:霹雳舞、涂鸦和另外两种嬉蹦乐音乐——流行音乐和说唱乐. 说唱也称为节目主持人(源于master of ceremonies这个词的缩略形式).②20世纪70年代街区舞会上音乐主持人(DJ)播放很多灵乐,他们注意到大家更喜欢乐曲中的打击乐,因为打击乐非常适合跳舞。
②that引导宾从;because原因状从;to dance to 不定式做后置定语修饰parts于是,他们开始重复播放这些打击乐。
这是牙买加音乐主持人使用的一种技艺。

起初,音乐主持人播放许多雷盖音乐。
Part 2嬉蹦乐有何重大突破?para.1 埃尔克,当时最受欢迎的牙买加音乐主持人之一,注意到纽约观众并不真正喜欢雷盖音乐,于是他就开始播放其他种类的音乐,其中包括摇滚乐和迪斯科。
④这些打击乐通常很短,但埃尔克和其他音乐主持人利用摆放在一起的两个唱盘将两盘录音反复播放,使打击乐播放时间更长。
有些音乐主持人开始边放音乐边说话、叫喊。
大声喊叫的音乐主持人就被称之为节目主持人。
这样,称之为“说唱乐”的音乐风格就诞生了.④make them longer “make+宾语+宾补”; By doing …通过做…,为方式状语para.2--3起初,这些节目主持人常常表演数小时,重复同样的单词和短语,然后即兴表演。
