Bebop is a kind of jazz that grew in the United States in the 1940s. It is fast, busy, and full of surprise notes. Players take long solos, change key often, and do not much care whether you can dance.
Bebop is a kind of jazzBebop是一種爵士樂 that grew in the United States in the 1940s在1940年代的美國興起. It is fast, busy, and full of surprise notes它節奏快、很忙碌，而且充滿讓人意外的音符. Players take long solos樂手會演奏很長的獨奏, change key often常常轉調, and do not much care whether you can dance也不太在乎你能不能跟著跳舞
That last point matters: swing jazz of the 1930s was music for the dance floor; bebop was music for listening, often in small clubs, late at night. People also call it bop.
That last point matters最後這一點很重要: swing jazz of the 1930s was music for the dance floor1930年代的搖擺爵士是給舞池跳舞用的音樂; bebop was music for listeningbebop則是給人「聽」的音樂, often in small clubs, late at night常常是在深夜的小俱樂部裡. People also call it bop大家也會簡稱它bop
Though actually the name does not “mean” anything in the way river or teacher means something. It comes from rebop, mouth-music singers used in scat — nonsense sounds like doo-wop or “doo be doo be doo,” only sharper.
Though actually不過事實上 the name does not "mean" anything in the way river or teacher means something這個名字不像river或teacher那樣有實際的字面意思. It comes from rebop它是從rebop這個字來的, mouth-music syllables singers used in scat是歌手在scat（即興哼唱）時用的口技音節 — nonsense sounds like doo-wop or "doo be doo be doo," only sharper像doo-wop或「doo be doo be doo」那樣的無意義聲音，只是更俐落
Younger listeners may say jazz for all of it; older jazz fans will tell you bebop is one chapter, not the whole book. It can be a noun (“they played bebop”) and, more loosely, a verb (“to bebop” as in play or go in that style), but the noun is the one you will meet in class and on album notes.
Younger listeners may say jazz for all of it比較年輕的聽眾可能會把這一切都籠統叫做jazz; older jazz fans will tell you bebop is one chapter, not the whole book但比較資深的爵士樂迷會告訴你，bebop只是其中一個章節，不是全部. It can be a noun它可以當名詞 ("they played bebop")（「they played bebop」） and, more loosely, a verb也可以比較鬆散地當動詞 ("to bebop" as in play or go in that style)（「to bebop」表示用這種風格演奏或前進）, but the noun is the one you will meet in class and on album notes不過你在課堂上和專輯內頁看到的通常是名詞用法
組成Not a blend of be + bop with a meaning. It is an alteration of earlier rebop, nonsense syllables from 1940s scat singing, in the same family of mouth-music names as doo-wop.
