音乐给人带来快乐,音乐也会给人带来宁静,音乐的功能真强大啊!我从11岁起就开始喜欢爵士乐和布鲁斯音乐,直到现在,它们依然时时给我信心,鼓励着我前行。总之,音乐让我的生活有了别样的色彩!
Ever since I was a young girl, my favorite style of music has been jazz and blues. The first ever CD that I bought was Chuck Berry? s Greatest Hits when I was 11 years old. I completely loved it and I would sing along and dance around my bedroom to the music. Even now, whenever I hear one of Chuck Berry? s songs I can? t help but do so.
As I got older I started to listen to other musicians. I would listen to Elvis Presley almost every day after school. I just loved music that made me want to dance. I started to love soul music(爵士灵歌) too after a friend bought me a Motown Classics CD for my 15th birthday. My favorite pastime was listening to Aretha Franklin or Katrina and the Waves. I looked up to a lot of these surprising artists and performers and still do to this day. As quite a shy girl, hearing these people perform with such confidence and such gift was encouraging.
Blues music is rooted in African? American history and originated from the 19th century when African slaves would sing about their experiences. The birthplace of the blues is said to be the Mississippi Delta near New Orleans in the USA. I think I enjoy music so much because it is a form of escape (逃避) from reality and I find that if I have had a hard day or I? m feeling a little low, listening to something happy can turn my feeling around and cheer me up.
典句赏析
1.Ever since I was a young girl my favorite style of music has been jazz and blues. 从我很小以来,我最爱的音乐风格就是爵士乐和布鲁斯。
since意为“自……以来;从……起”,常与现在完成时或现在完成进行时或一般现在时的主句连用。作介词,后接表示时间的名词或短语。
如:I haven?蒺t eaten since breakfast. 早饭以后我还沒吃过东西呢。
2.As quite a shy girl, hearing these people perform with such confidence and such gift was encouraging. 作为一个很腼腆的女生,听这些才华横溢的人如此自信地表演是令人鼓舞的。
hearing these people perform属于动词的?鄄ing形式作主语。hear somebody do something意为“听见某人做某事”,属于省略了to的不定式短语作宾语补足语,表示一个经常性、习惯性的动作或一个动作的全过程;with confidence(自信地)和with gift(有才华地)是介词短语作状语。
3.I think I enjoy music so much because it is a form of escape from reality and I find that if I have had a hard day or I?蒺m feeling a little low, listening to something happy can turn my feeling around and cheer me up. 我认为我如此地喜欢音乐就是因为它是(我)可以借之逃避现实的一种形式。我发现如果我哪一天过得不好或是情绪低落,听一些让人开心的音乐就可以让我心情好起来,精神振作起来。
这是一个比较复杂的长句子。I think...和I find...后接的是宾语从句,because引导原因状语从句,if引导条件状语从句,句中的and和or是并列连词。
