喜樂美語

核心畫面

Start with 'having to do with music'. Point that at a person and it becomes a talent; point it at a sound and it becomes a compliment — that sound is pleasant enough to be music. Point it at a whole show built out of songs and it stops being a description and becomes the name of the thing itself.

從「跟音樂有關」出發。指向一個人，它變成一種天分；指向一個聲音，它變成稱讚——那個聲音好聽到像音樂。指向一整齣用歌串…更多收起從「跟音樂有關」出發。指向一個人，它變成一種天分；指向一個聲音，它變成稱讚——那個聲音好聽到像音樂。指向一整齣用歌串起來的戲，它就不再是形容詞，而直接成了那樣東西的名字。
