哦，你是說帕瓦羅蒂、多明戈和卡雷拉斯。你去過他們的現(xiàn)場演出嗎?

B：Yeah, it's really a unique experience. It's a solo concert by Pavarotti. He put on the performance in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

我聽說過那場演出，那是他的告別演唱會。

B：Besides, speaking of classical music, we should never forget about the New Year's Concert.

另外，談到古典音樂，我們就不能不提維也納新年音樂會。

B：Wow, you are so lucky. I saw that one on TV. But it must be so different to be there in the concert hall.

哇，你太幸運了。我是在電視上看的。但是到音樂廳欣賞一定很不一樣。

A：That's for sure. You know, it's really amazing to be in the best concert hall, listening to the performance by the best orchestra. I had the greatest time ever.

那是肯定的。你知道，到最棒的音樂廳聽最棒的管弦樂隊演出實在棒極了。那是我最快樂的時光。

B：Who was the conductor at that event?

那次的指揮是誰啊?

A：Lorin Maazel. He did an amazing job. Moreover, he just celebrated his 75th birthday.

B：So cool. I wish I can go to the live New Year's Concert someday in the future.

真酷啊。我希望將來有一天我也可以去現(xiàn)場聽新年音樂會。

A：The right opportunity for you would come along soon. You know, music is transnational.

你一定有機會的。你知道，音樂是超越國界的。

B：I believe in that. Well, the performance is about to begin. Let's be quiet.

這個我相信。對了，演出快要開始了，讓我們保持安靜吧。
