【英语时差8,16】对口型演唱 -上

Diarmuid: And me, Diarmuid. Wang Fei: So what are we going to talk about today Diarmuid? Diarmuid: Well, I'd like to tell you about a concert I went to last night. Wang Fei: A concert. So who was performing at the concert, Diarmuid? Diarmuid: I don't want to say her name Wang Fei, because I didn't enjoy the show. All I will say is that she was a very famous American singer. Wang Fei: Why didn't you like the concert by this mysterious¹ singer then? Diarmuid: I'm afraid to say that she wasn't really singing live. Wang Fei: So what was she doing? Diarmuid: She was lip-syncing. Wang Fei: Lip-syncing? Diarmuid: Yes, lip-syncing. L.I.P. S.Y.N.C.I.N.G. Lip-syncing. Wang Fei: Ah yes. Lip-syncing. So she wasn't really singing then? Diarmuid: No, she was just jumping around the stage pretending² to sing with a lot of other musicians and dancers. Wang Fei: But didn't you just enjoy the show and the spectacle³? Diarmuid: Not really. When I go to a concert I want to hear the singer actually perform the songs. I can listen to the CD at home any time. Wang Fei: Oh dear. What a pity.
