美語咖啡屋 Lesson 2: Scottish Bagpipes

J: Hello, I'm Jody!

Y: 大家好, 我是楊晨!

J: And welcome to American Cafe.

Y: 歡迎您到美語咖啡屋.

Enter pipe band music

Y: Jody, 今天的這個音樂, 我怎么覺得怎么熟悉啊 ？

J: Today I thought we would introduce Margaret Peng, the Chinese-American woman we met who does something quite uncommon. She's a drummer in a Scottish pipe band. Yang Chen, how cool is that!?

Y: 你說得沒錯，我對她的印象特別的深. 這個女孩兒叫Margaret Peng, 是一位華裔，是華盛頓蘇格蘭風笛樂隊的隊員之一。在這種樂隊里華人并不多見。那么，作為一個華裔，她是怎么迷上這種音樂的呢？我們來看看她是怎么說的：

實錄1: Margaret Peng: I'm a tenor drummer in the pipe band and I started playing in high school. Eh... I had a friend who was in the bagpipe band in high school. That what she played. She said: "Come on join it with me, join it." So I did it and I didn't think I'd keep doing it but I am (laughs).

J: How many years now?

MP: I've been in this band I've been in for 12, 12 years. Right.

Y: Margaret剛才說她是在高中就加入了樂隊一直到現(xiàn)在她練了十二年了，很長時間。

J: 12 years! Wow.

Y: 真的很不簡單。 她加入樂隊的原因其實很簡單。 她當時她有一個朋友在樂隊里吹bagpipe 的, 就問她, 你參加不參加? 她說好啊，就是那么簡單.

J: That's simple. She was in high school and a friend told her to come join the band.

Y: 沒錯，沒錯。她在樂隊里是鼓手。
