Start with the sound itself: loud guitars, a hard steady , a room of people on their feet in the 1950s. That music did not stay in one place — it went everywhere at once, and for a while it was the thing everyone talked about. Keep both halves of that picture. The first is what the words name; the second is why English can lend the name to anything that suddenly sweeps the room.
可以先想成聲音本身:大聲的吉他、很重的鼓點,1950 年代一整間人站起來跳舞。這種音樂當年不只是好聽,它還一下子紅遍每個角落,人人都在談。這個畫面有兩半:一半是音樂本身,一半是「紅到大家都在講」的那種氣勢。第二半就是為什麼英文後來可以拿這個名字借去形容別的東西。
