The english we speak(BBC教學)第315期:Mash up 混搭

What happens when we take two already made things and combine them to make something new? Dan and Feifei will clue you in!

如果我們把兩件成品組合在一起製造一件新品，那會發生什麼？丹和菲菲會給大家提供線索。

Dan: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English, I'm Dan and with me is Feifei.

丹：大家好，歡迎收聽BBC教學頻道的地道英語節目，我是丹，今天和我一起主持節目的是菲菲。

Feifei: Hello. What are all these cds and records for Dan?

菲菲：大家好。丹，這些CD和唱片是幹什麼用的？

Dan: I'm trying to make a mash-up. It's going to be so cool.

丹：我正在嘗試混搭製作。一定會很酷的。

Feifei: A mash-up? What's that?

菲菲：混搭？那是什麼？

Dan: You know, when you combine two or more existing pieces of media to create something new. You get them all the time on YouTube. My mash-up is going to be a song.

丹：就是把兩種或兩種以上已有的媒體片段組合在一起，創造出新的東西。你在優兔網上經常能看到這些。我要混搭一首歌。

Feifei: Oh I see. I think I saw one or two online. Someone had taken a bunch of old movie trailers and mashed them up to create a new one.

菲菲：哦，我明白了。我想我在網上看到過一兩個。有人把一堆老電影的預告片進行混剪，創造出新的片子。

Dan: Yes, that's it. They've become very popular recently. And it doesn't have to be a song or movie, people mash-up pictures and books!

丹：對，就是這樣。這個現在非常流行。不一定非得是歌曲或電影，什麼都能混搭，甚至圖片和書也可以！

Feifei: Let's hear some examples.

菲菲：我們來聽幾個例句。
