情境2

A:Listen to the lyrics of this song.

B:What's so special about this song?

A:It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now.Do you like it?

B:Not very much.It sounds too emotional to me.

A:That's why it is so popular.It was recorded by Barbara Martin.I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night,she created quite a sensation.

B:I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.Compared with that,I know more about jazz.

A:Well then,you need an introduction.The school drama club is putting on a musical production.How about going together?

B:I have a better idea.Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.

A:听这首歌的歌词。

B:这首歌有什么特别？

A:这是现在在纽约很受欢迎的一出歌舞剧里的插曲。你喜欢吗？

B:不怎么喜欢。我觉得情感色彩太浓了。

A:那就是这首歌这么受欢迎的原因。这首歌是芭芭拉·马丁录制的。我听说这部剧第一天晚上首演时，她登台唱了这首歌，相当轰动。

B:恐怕我对百老汇歌舞剧知道得相当有限。相比之下，我了解爵士音乐更多一点。

A:那你需要入门了。学校剧社要演一出歌舞剧。我们一起去看，怎么样？

B:我有更好的主意。我们去听爵士音乐会，由我来教教你爵士乐吧。
