猜猜古詩(shī)的英文翻譯

　　So hard for us to meet, Harder still to part.

　　Languid though the east wind, Faded flowers are blown apart.

　　The silkworm’s silk is exhausted Only when its life is spent;

　　The candle’s tears are dried, When itself to cinder’s burnt.

　　Explosive sound and energy

　　ROCK music didn't exist 60 years ago. Now, it's one of the world's most popular genres. But musical styles don't spring up overnight. Someone didn't just wake up and invent rock. So, how did it happen? What is rock? 搖滾音樂(lè )直到60年前才出現�，F在它已經(jīng)成為世界上最流行的音樂(lè )類(lèi)型之一。但是任何音樂(lè )都不是一夜之間形成的。搖滾音樂(lè )也不是什么人一覺(jué)醒來(lái)就發(fā)明了出來(lái)。那么，它是怎么出現的呢？搖滾是什么？

　　Although impossible to strictly define, it's generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America. In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953-55 are known as the rock 'n' roll years. At this time, early "rockers" were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens. The result was rock 'n' roll. 雖然要嚴格定義搖滾樂(lè )是不可能的，但通常認為搖滾樂(lè )誕生于20世紀50年代的美國。在西方，其實(shí)從音樂(lè )的角度講，1953－1955這幾年間被看作是搖滾年。當時(shí)，早期的“搖滾青年”將美國白人的鄉村音樂(lè )和美國市井黑人熱愛(ài)的節奏和藍調音樂(lè )結合起來(lái)，結果就形成了搖滾樂(lè )。

　　The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock 'n' roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets'1954 recording of "Rock Around the Clock". But it was Elvis Presley, known as "The King of Rock and Roll", who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world. Elvis's 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock 'n' roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music's visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting. 通常認為搖滾樂(lè )開(kāi)始的標志是比爾海利與彗星合唱團1954年的唱片《晝夜搖滾》。但卻是有“搖滾之王”美稱(chēng)的貓王埃爾維斯·普雷斯利使這種新的聲音在美國和西方國家真正流傳開(kāi)來(lái)。埃爾維斯20世紀50年代的唱片奠定了搖滾樂(lè )的基本語(yǔ)言；他那狂熱爆發(fā)的舞臺現場(chǎng)為視覺(jué)音樂(lè )形象樹(shù)立了標準，而他的聲音強大充滿(mǎn)吸引力。

　　Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years. As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music. Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats: a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer. 在搖滾剛誕生的前幾年，它只是一種特定的聲音和形象。但隨著(zhù)時(shí)間的發(fā)展，這種音樂(lè )類(lèi)型逐漸將技巧和打破音樂(lè )界限列于同等重要的地位。過(guò)去50年以來(lái)的搖滾樂(lè )隊，他們除了類(lèi)型各異音樂(lè )不同之外，有一點(diǎn)是共同的：都有一位迷人的主唱，有一位天才的精力無(wú)限充滿(mǎn)創(chuàng )造力的吉他手，有一位很酷看似冷漠的貝斯手和一位鼓手。

　　For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years －giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres. As a result, "rock" has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars. Rock is a generic term, but it's exciting that it can now mean so many different things. 在搖滾樂(lè )的大部分歷史中，它常被分割成多種不同的元素，每隔幾年就創(chuàng )造出新的音樂(lè )風(fēng)格——由此誕生了無(wú)限增多的音樂(lè )分支。結果，“搖滾”就被用來(lái)指代一切東西，包括從演奏優(yōu)美曲調的樂(lè )隊到無(wú)調嘈雜的吉他樂(lè )隊。雖然搖滾只是一種音樂(lè )類(lèi)別，但它現在能夠表示大量不同的東西，這就是它的令人激動(dòng)之處。
