Hi, Faith! What's on your mind today?
嗨,费思!你今天想讲什么?
Hi, John! You know, I love music. So, maybe we could talk about how we describe music.
嗨,约翰!我喜欢音乐。所以,也许我们可以谈谈我们如何描述音乐。
That's a great idea!
这是个好主意!
We should start with sentence patterns and adjectives.
我们应该从句型和形容词开始。
One of the common sentence patterns we use to describe music is this: Subject-linking verb-adjective (or subject complement.)
我们用来描述音乐的一种常见句型是:主语-系动词-形容词(或主语补足语)。
Consider this example: The music sounds nice.
看一下这个例子:音乐听起来不错。
The subject is "the music," the linking verb is "sounds," and the adjective is "nice."
主语是“the music”,系动词是“sounds”,形容词是“nice”。
The adjective is sometimes called the subject complement, meaning it completes the verb and modifies or describes the subject.
形容词有时被称为主语补足语,意思是它补足动词并修饰或描述主语。
We often use the linking verbs "be" and "sound" to describe music.
我们经常用系动词“be”和“sound”来描述音乐。
For example, a person might say: This music is wild! Or This music is boring.
例如,一个人可能会说:这段音乐太狂野了!或者这段音乐太无聊了。
Adjectives such as "wild" or "boring" play an important part in the sentence.
诸如“wild”或“boring”之类的形容词在句子中起着重要的作用。
They describe how the speaker feels about the music.
它们描述了说话者对音乐的感受。
Wild means you think the music is unconventional or chaotic.
Wild的意思是你认为音乐是非传统的或混乱的。
Boring means uninteresting, tiresome.
Boring的意思是无趣的,烦人的。
If a person says that the music is boring, they are suggesting that they do not like the music.
如果一个人说这段音乐很无聊,他们是在暗示他们不喜欢这段音乐。
Other common adjectives used to describe music include loud, soft, smooth, harsh, fast, and slow.
用来描述音乐的其他常见形容词包括loud(大声的)、soft(轻柔的)、smooth(悦耳的)、harsh(刺耳的)、fast(快的)和slow(慢的)。
