地道美语
A
: I’m forming a music band.

B: Do you already know how to play an instrument?

A: Uh... Yeah! I’ve told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well, I would like to form a rock band.

B: Aside from yourself, who are the other members of the band?

A: We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who plays bass. Although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer. You told me that you had some musical talent, right?

B: Yes, I’m a singer.

A: Perfect. So you can audition this weekend here at my house.

B: Great! Wait here? You don’t have enough room for the amplifiers, microphones or even your drums! By the way where do you keep them or practice?

A: Dude? What are you talking about? It’s right here! All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we are set!

A:我告诉过你很多次了,我正在学习敲鼓。既然我学会了如何能表演得更好,我会组建一只摇滚乐队。

B:除了你,其他的乐队成员呢?

A:有1人弹吉他,另2个弹贝斯,尽管我们目前还没找到主唱。你告诉过我你有音乐天赋,对吧?

B:是的,我是歌手。

A:太好了。这周你可以来我家试唱。

B:太好了。等下。你家没有足够的空间来放扩音机,麦克风,甚至连放鼓的地方都没有。顺便问下,你将乐器放哪儿?在何处练习呢?
