喜欢听歌的朋友,可能经常会在歌曲名后面看到一些后缀,比如acoustic,explicit等,它们各自指什么呢?一起来了解下。
explicit原意是直言的;清晰的;毫不隐讳的。
释义:Something that is explicit is expressed or shown clearly and openly, without any attempt to hide anything.
出现在歌名后面时,是指这首歌的歌词里面保留了限制级词语,比如f**k,sh*t等,也就是未删减版本。
explicit经常被大家俗称为“脏标”、“e标”。
feat.的全称是featuring,也可缩略为ft.,一般在歌名后面以(feat. xx)形式呈现,表示这个xx歌手(或者xx组合)是该单曲或专辑的合作者,一般以伴唱或伴奏的形式参与其中。
大家应该也见过很多次acoustic,acoustic中文意思有“原声的;自然声的”。如果歌名后面标明了acoustic,即表示不经过电子音效处理的纯乐队演奏版本,不含电子合成音乐。
释义:to record a new version of a song that was originally recorded by another band or singer
They've covered an old Rolling Stones number.
除了上面这几种常见的后缀,英语中也有很多跟音乐相关的口语表达,顺便学习下:
字面看,这个短语的意思是(对某人)悦耳的声音,引申为:好消息;佳音。
释义:news or information that you are very pleased to hear
That is music to my ears!
指的是承担自己错误行为所带来的后果;接受批评(或惩罚)。
释义:(informal) to accept and deal with criticism or punishment for something you have done
The others all ran off, leaving me to face the music.
Sooner or later, I'm going to have to face the music.
释义:(informal) very cheaply; at a low price
She bought the painting for a song.
The property is going for a song because they need to sell it fast.
这处房产正以极低的价格出售,因为他们需要尽快卖出。
释义:(informal) working or performing well
