Yang Li: 大家好我是杨莉，这是BBC热门栏目《地道英语》。

William: I'm William Kremer. Welcome to the programme.

Yang Li: Hi William, I'm so excited!
我很兴奋

William: Really? What's brought this on, then?
真的吗？有什么好事？

Yang Li: This weekend something really really great is happening! Do you know what it is?
这周末有些非常非常棒的事要发生，你知道是什么吗？

William: No...
不知道。

Yang Li: It has to do with music...
和音乐有关

William: Ah, is it a big opera?
要演出歌剧？

Yang Li: No, it takes place outdoors...
不，它是在室外举行的

William: Ah, is it opera in the park?
公园露天剧？

Yang Li: No, no, it's not opera. It's Glastonbury! Glastonbury 英国夏季举行的大型音乐节。

William: Oh wow, I've never been. I'm so jealous. What's the line-up this year?
我从未去过，我很嫉妒。今年的团队是那个？

Yang Li: Oh no, you don't have to queue. You can just get tickets online. But of course, they are sold out now.
你不必排队，可以在网上买。但是现在肯定票买没了。

William: No, no, no, the line-up, Yang Li. Who's playing?
不，我是问表演的团队，Yang Li，谁将表演？

The Chemical Brothers are in the line-up for Glastonbury.
Yang Li: Oh, there's U2 and the Chemical Brothers and Fleet Foxes and Elbow... and loads and loads of bands. 不过 William, 我不太明白你刚才说的短语是什么意思，什么是 line-up...

William: Well, in America to 'wait in line' means to queue. But a line-up refers to all the bands that are playing in a festival.

Yang Li: Ah, a line-up 指的是所要参加演出乐队阵势。那么这个词是不是专门用来形容音乐节呢？

William: No, it isn't. Listen to this:

-----------------------

Example

Man: Is Jones playing this weekend?
Jones这周表演吗？

Man 2: No, he's still injured so he's not in the line-up.

不，他受伤了，所以他不在团队里。

---------------------------
Yang Li: 在以上例句里面，'the line-up' 意思是体育团队里的一员，他受伤了，不在团队之列。The line-up. Well, anyway, it's a pretty good line-up at Glastonbury this weekend. I can't wait!

William: Who's headlining on Sunday?
周日谁领衔主演？

Yang Li: What do you mean?
你什么意思？

William: Who's headlining? Ah, I think I know why you're confused. 'To headline' doesn't mean to be in the news. It means to be the main act in a festival. The main act is 'the headline act'.
谁领衔主演？我想我知道你糊涂的原因了。To headline并不是上头条的意思。此处指在节日里主演。主要的活动就是“领衔主演”。

Beyonce is the headline act at Glastonbury this year.
Yang Li: Oh right. To headline 意思是音乐节上的领衔主演 the headline act. Well, I think Beyoncé Knowles is headlining on Sunday. She's the headline act.

William: Ah yes, Beyoncé. I've heard of her. Is she the one that does that dance, like this...

Yang Li: 别了，别了 William, 让我看着怪难受的，你跟 Beyoncé 舞姿相比还差点!

William: (laughing) OK, OK. So, what time do you leave?

Yang Li: Eh?

William: What time are you going to Glastonbury? It's quite a long way, you know. You should probably be getting a train about now.

Yang Li: 哈哈，你还信以为真了！其实我不去，你知道票价有多吓人吗！而且一想到露宿在外，湿湿漉漉，泥泥浆浆的，那些临建厕所 oh no, no, no！我宁愿在家里看电视，舒服多了。

William: Oh right, OK! Well for everyone who is going to a music festival this year, we hope that you have a fantastic time. I hope that the line-up is great and that the headline act doesn't disappoint. Bye!

Yang Li: Bye.
