　　本文谨献给那些追《乐队的夏天》的烤鸭们。等有时间我给大家高歌一曲《雅思是个大坏蛋》，让我们一起摇滚起来。

　　开篇伊始，我直接传授给各位烤鸭小伙伴们一个秘籍。想不想自己在雅思考场中可以像五条人一样坦然，自如，更主要的是可以无限复活？其实很简单，多往自己的雅思账户里面充值即可实现。

　　今年的《乐夏2》仍然可谓是现象级综艺，吸引粉丝无数。欢快之余也应该视其为雅思口语重要素材。大家仔细想想，雅思口语考试和音乐，乐队，歌手等话题总是不离不弃。所以看《乐夏2》不仅仅是为了娱乐，也是为了累积和丰富口语表达素材。

　　今天我们一起分享一下“ChinaDaily”对此的报道，也由此来学习一些值得大家在考场里面炫耀的单词和短语。文章为：Band stays true to its origins，By Chen Nan, 2020-09-05。一看主标题，相信大家就会猜到，这是一篇主要报道“野孩子”的文章。

　　Local folk music connects Lanzhou's rock diaspora back to their hometown。

　　It's almost as if they hadn't been away. When Chinese band, Wild Children, performed their classic hit, Ballad of The Yellow River, at the popular band-competition reality show, The Big Band, the five members of the group touched the audience with their harmonic voices.

　　1、almost as if 连词性。好像是，似乎。后面常接虚拟语气。

　　2、ballad 名词，民谣，流行情歌。

　　3、band-competition reality show 乐队比赛的真人秀节目。

　　4、The Big Band 乐队的夏天。

　　5、harmonic 形容词，和声的。

　　Without the accompaniment of any musical instruments, they sang the song quietly and smoothly. Written over two decades ago by the leading vocalist Zhang Quan, the song expresses the singer-songwriter's homesickness for Lanzhou in Gansu province in Northwest China and his deep love for the local culture along the Yellow River. After they sang a cappella, the band also displayed their musical instruments.

　　6、vocalist 名词性， 歌手，声乐家。

　　7、homesickness 名词性， 思乡，想家。

　　8、a cappella 可以理解为一个词，拉丁语。阿卡贝拉。无乐队伴奏的清唱。

　　"We grew up on the vast desert of Gansu province and we sang to everything around us, the nature, the grass, and the goats. We want to let more people know that China has a band named Wild Children, which is different," said Guo Long, the accordionist of the band, in the reality show. "Rock music could be powerful yet restrained."

　　One of the celebrity guests in the reality show, actress-singer Zhou Xun, shed tears while listening to the song. Chace, 21, whose real name is Zhu Yiha, the front-man of a newly-formed Chinese band, Mandarin, showed his respect for Wild Children, saying: "They sing for themselves, not for anyone else. When they play their musical instruments, it's like having a conversation."

　　9、accordionist 名词，手风琴手。

　　10、shed 词性较多，在本文中为动词，译为落（泪）。

　　Wild Children's performance was a sharp contrast to the other 32 bands that competed in the reality show, including veteran rock groups, such as Carsick Cars, Queen Sea Big Shark, and newcomers, Mandarin and Floruit Show. The bands cover different music styles, from heavy metal, pop-rock to electronic dance music and alternative rock.

　　In its second season, the reality show, which is produced by Chinese streaming site iQiyi and began broadcasting on July 25, has made further efforts to successfully bring Chinese indie rock bands to mainstream.
