Young audiences today love to listen to their music. Their records are found in most music stores. Unfortunately, a driving accident took the young life of the promising pop star Chang Yu-sheng. Chang is remembered most for his big hit, "My Future Isn't a Dream." It became a theme song for the young generation and was heard in record stores, on almost all radio stations, and even in a television commercial. After completing his military service, Chang returned to his music career. Like other singers, Chang was always looking for new ideas to bring to pop music. He was the first to use aboriginal Taiwanese melodies in pop songs. Many people at that time thought that was very unusual, but the idea proved to be popular. Chang Yu-sheng also brought us A-Mei, a slim and attractive woman from an aboriginal tribe in Taiwan. He helped her record two albums before the car accident. The first album, Sisters, was a big hit. The second album, Bad Boy, was also very popular. A-Mei's voice has attracted great public attention. She has been compared to the American superstar, Whitney Houston. In fact, A-Mei is becoming an international star. Her fans greatly enjoyed her first concert in Hong Kong. Maybe a new nickname for her should be "A-mei-zing"!（注一） Sadly, we can no longer hear Chang Yu-sheng sing in person. But we can still enjoy the music of the star he "discovered," A-Mei. 注一：A-mei-zing 为作者自创之词，尚未被普遍接受的正规字，所以用斜体 字标出，因 A-mei-zing 与 Amaze 音相似。其他类似字如：brunch （breakfast + lunch）通常指「早午餐」已被接受，而 Chinglish （Chinese + English ）则指「中式英文」，尚未被普遍接受。 上文中译如下： 第十课 两位奇妙的歌手 　　在过去十年中，台湾有许多年轻且才华洋溢的歌手—张雨生和阿妹（张惠妹） 也名列其中。目前有许多年轻的听众喜欢听他们的音乐。他们的唱片遍及各唱片行。 　　很不幸地，一场车祸却夺走了前途无量的流行歌手张雨生。张雨生因其红极一 时的歌曲「我的未来不是梦」至今仍备受怀念。这首歌成为年轻一代的主题曲，在 各唱片行、电台，甚至电视广告中都可听到它。 　　张雨生服完兵役後，又回到音乐的本行。和其他的歌手一般，张雨生不断追寻 新观念，并将它们带入流行音乐里。他是第一位将台湾原住民曲调放进流行歌曲里 的人。当时许多人认为这非比寻常，但这个想法最後证明极受欢迎。 　　张雨生也给我们带来了阿妹（张惠妹），一位苗条、动人的原住民小姐。张雨 生在车祸前帮她录制了两张专辑。第一张专辑「姊妹」红极一时。第二张专辑「坏 男孩」，也是广受欢迎。阿妹嘹亮的歌喉吸引了大家的注意。她曾经被喻为美国的 超级巨星—惠妮‧休斯顿。事实上，阿妹正逐渐迈入国际巨星之列，她的歌迷非常 喜爱她在香港的第一次演唱会。也许应该给她取个新的绰号叫「惊奇」。 　　令人伤感的是，我们无法再听到张雨生亲自献唱。但我们仍然能欢愉地听到他 所发掘的歌星阿妹的歌声。 ＊以上课文皆摘自「南一版高中英文」第一册第十课，南一书局出版发行，八十八 年八月新版版权皆属该公司所有。 -- 我的网页~~~~~寒菁小栈 http://home.kimo.com.tw/kojengying/ 欢迎大家来捧场ㄛ!!! --
