　　Helen: 还有我，Helen。

　　Neil: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

　　Neil: Today’s new word is 'tribute band'.

　　Helen: Tribute band？这是什么呀？

　　Neil: I’ll explain. This phrase is made up of two words 'tribute' and 'band'.

　　Helen: 由两个词组成, tribute 礼物，贡品; 还有 band 乐队。

　　Neil: A tribute band is a group of musicians which only plays the music of a famous group – for example The Beatles – as a tribute to them.

　　Helen: 哦，原来这个 tribute band 只演奏一些非常出名的'，有声望的乐队的音乐。

　　Neil: That’s right.

　　Helen: 他们很流行吗？ Neil?

　　Neil: Well, yes. Nowadays many people love the Beatles, for example, but it is impossible to see them perform live. However, you could go and see a tribute band and have almost the same experience.

　　Helen: 那现在，有很多这种专门模仿经典乐队的乐队吗？

　　Neil: Yes. There are tribute bands to Abba, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, and many others.

　　Insert

　　A: I watched The Doors live in concert yesterday.

　　B: What? That’s impossible. Their singer died in 1971!

　　A: Well, it wasn’t the real Doors. It was a tribute band, from Australia actually. They were really good.

　　Helen: 你见过那些翻唱乐队吗？Neil?

　　Neil: Oh yes. I saw an Abba tribute band a while ago. It was fantastic.

　　Helen: Really? So they were good, then.

　　Neil: Yes. It’s almost like watching the real thing.

　　Helen: 那在那么热烈的现场，你有没有跟着一起唱啊。

　　Neil: Yes, of course, that’s the best bit. Everyone sang along.

　　Helen: 哇哦，那下次还有这样的演出，记得告诉我，我也要和你一起去体验一下。

　　Neil: That’s a good idea, Helen. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself.

　　Helen: 好吧，那让我们来复习一下今天学的 – a tribute band – 就是一个专门模仿已经出了名的乐队保留下来的经典曲目，服饰和声音都是保留着经典乐队之前的样子。

　　Neil: It looks like we are out of time. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

　　Helen: See you next time.
