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 為作者自創之詞，尚未被普遍接受的正規字，所以用斜體 字標出，因 A-mei-zing 與 Amaze 音相似。其他類似字如：brunch （breakfast + lunch）通常指「早午餐」已被接受，而 Chinglish （Chinese + English ）則指「中式英文」，尚未被普遍接受。 上文中譯如下： 第十課 兩位奇妙的歌手 　　在過去十年中，臺灣有許多年輕且才華洋溢的歌手—張雨生和阿妹（張惠妹） 也名列其中。目前有許多年輕的聽眾喜歡聽他們的音樂。他們的唱片遍及各唱片行。 　　很不幸地，一場車禍卻奪走了前途無量的流行歌手張雨生。張雨生因其紅極一 時的歌曲「我的未來不是夢」至今仍備受懷念。這首歌成為年輕一代的主題曲，在 各唱片行、電臺，甚至電視廣告中都可聽到它。 　　張雨生服完兵役後，又回到音樂的本行。和其他的歌手一般，張雨生不斷追尋 新觀念，並將它們帶入流行音樂裡。他是第一位將臺灣原住民曲調放進流行歌曲裡 的人。當時許多人認為這非比尋常，但這個想法最後證明極受歡迎。 　　張雨生也給我們帶來了阿妹（張惠妹），一位苗條、動人的原住民小姐。張雨 生在車禍前幫她錄製了兩張專輯。第一張專輯「姊妹」紅極一時。第二張專輯「壞 男孩」，也是廣受歡迎。阿妹嘹亮的歌喉吸引了大家的注意。她曾經被喻為美國的 超級巨星—惠妮‧休斯頓。事實上，阿妹正逐漸邁入國際巨星之列，她的歌迷非常 喜愛她在香港的第一次演唱會。也許應該給她取個新的綽號叫「驚奇」。 　　令人傷感的是，我們無法再聽到張雨生親自獻唱。但我們仍然能歡愉地聽到他 所發掘的歌星阿妹的歌聲。 ＊以上課文皆摘自「南一版高中英文」第一冊第十課，南一書局出版發行，八十八 年八月新版版權皆屬該公司所有。 -- 我的網頁~~~~~寒菁小棧 http://home.kimo.com.tw/kojengying/ 歡迎大家來捧場ㄛ!!! --
