Module 4 Music Section Ⅳ Other Parts of the Module [原文呈现][读文清障] Street Music It's a warm Saturday afternoon in a busy side road① in the old district of Barcelona. The pedestrians② are standing in a semicircle③ around someone or something in front of the cathedral④. I push my way through⑤ the crowd and find a quartet⑥ of musicians playing a violin suite⑦ of classical music⑧. Thesession⑨ lasts ten minutes. Then one of the musicians picks up⑩ a saucer⑪ on the ground, and asks for money. All contributions⑫ are voluntary⑬, no one has to pay, but the crowd shrinks⑭⑮as some people slide away⑯. But others happily throw in a few coins. They're grateful for this brief interval⑰ of music as they go shopping⑱. Below the window of my apartment in Paris, a music man takes a place⑲ made vacant⑳ by an earlier musician○21.

Then he sings the songs of old Paris, songs of the people and their love affairs. I remember some of the words even though I have never consciously○25 learnt them○26. I tap○27 my feet and sing along with him. Down there on the pavement, few passersby○28 stop. Some smile, others walk past with their heads down○29. Cars pass, gangs of○30 boys form and disappear, someone even puts a coin in the cup on the organ. But the music man ignores them all. He's hot in the sun, so he mops○31 his head with a spotted○32 handkerchief.

街头音乐 [第1~2段译文] 这是一个温暖的星期六的下午,在巴塞罗那老街区的一条繁忙的小路旁。行人在教堂前围成了半圆,围观着什么人或什么事。我挤着穿过人群,发现一支四重奏乐队正在演奏古典音乐小提琴组曲。演奏持续了10分钟。然后,其中一个音乐人拿起地上的碟子开始收钱。所有的捐献都是自愿的,没有人非给不可。但是,随着一些人悄悄走开,人群一下子缩小了。其余的人则很高兴地投了一些硬币。他们对于购物时能听到这种简短的音乐插曲很开心。 在巴黎,在我公寓的窗下,一位音乐人占据了早先另一位音乐家空出来的地方。他打开手摇风琴的盖子,摇动把手。然后他唱起了关于古老巴黎的歌曲,关于巴黎人民和他们爱情故事的歌曲。我虽然从未刻意去学,但仍然记住了一些歌词。我用脚打着拍子跟随他一起唱。沿街而下却很少有行人驻足。有些人微笑,有些人低头走过。车辆驶过,成群的男孩子聚了又散,有人甚至还往琴上的杯子里投了一枚硬币。但是这位音乐人却对他们全都视而不见。太阳底下,酷热难挡,于是他用有污迹的手帕擦额头。他只是不停地唱着、摇着把手。
In Harlem, New York, some locals place○34 a sound system by an open window. They plug○35 it into the electrical socket○36, and all of a sudden○37, there's dancing in the streets. In downtown Tokyo, young couples eat popcorn○38 and dance to the music○39 of a rockabilly○40 band, which plays American music from the Fifties○41. In the London Underground a student plays classical guitar music, which echoes○42 along the tunnels○43. It lifts○44 the spirits of the passengers, who hurry past on their way to○45 work○46. In a street in Vienna or Prague or Milan a group of pipe musicians from the far Andes fill the air with○47 the sounds of South America. The street musician is keeping alive a culture○48 which has almost disappeared in our busy, organised, and regulated○49 lives○50: the sound of music when you least expect it. In a recording studio, even when relayed○51 by microphone, music loses some of its liveliness○52. But street music gives life to everyone who listens and offers relief○53 ○34place v.放置 ○35plug/plʌɡ/v.插上(插头)
