Unit 5 Music Reading and thinking The vitual choir THE VIRTUAL CHOIR 虚拟合唱团 Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. 想象一下你独自在家就有机会与数百人一起歌唱。你可以在虚拟合唱团中做到这一点。虚拟合唱团成员在视频上单独表演的时候录制他们自己。这些视频被上传到网上，然后被整合成一个你可以在线观看的视频——一个虚拟合唱团。 课文翻译 Para.1 Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio. A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir. 任何人从任何地方都可以参加虚拟合唱团——你所需要的只是一台摄像机和互联网连接。你甚至不需要录音棚。虚拟合唱团有助于将普通人联系在一起。许多人没有对音乐有相同兴趣的亲密朋友或联系人。许多其他人没有机会参加当地的合唱团。 Para.1 A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community. It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.” 虚拟合唱团使他们能够将自己的声音加入到其他人的声音中，并成为全球社区的一部分。事实证明，这对许多人的生活产生了积极影响。正如一位虚拟合唱团成员所说：“音乐可以帮助我……忘记我的烦恼。在音乐的帮助下，我变成了另一个人。” Para.1 The virtual choir was the idea of award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” 虚拟合唱团是屡获殊荣的作曲家兼指挥家埃里克·惠塔克的创意。惠塔克于1970年1月2日出生在美国，1988年开始在内华达大学学习音乐。当他为大学合唱团唱歌时，他爱上了莫扎特的古典音乐。他被这段音乐打动了，他说：“那种(兴奋的)感觉就如同第一次看见色彩一样。” Para.2 He graduated from university in 1995, and then received a master’s degree in musical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’s original compositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. This led to the creation of the virtual choir. 他于1995年大学毕业，随后于1997年获得纽约茱莉亚音乐学院音乐创作硕士学位。在接下来的十多年里，惠塔克的原创作品在合唱团和歌手中开始流行。这促使了虚拟合唱团的创建。 Para.2 In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. 2009年，惠塔克收到了一个女孩在演唱他的作品的视频。受到启发，他让歌迷们制作视频，然后他将视频合并到一个表演中。他的第一支虚拟合唱团《金色光芒》有来自12个不同国家的185位歌手。它在上收到数以万计的浏览量。 Para.3 Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide phenomenon. Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”. 从那时起，虚拟合唱团已成为一种全球现象。惠塔克的第二个壮举是打造联合国儿童基金会“虚拟青年合唱团”，该合唱团于2014年7月23日在英国首次亮相。总共有来自80个国家的2292名青年参与演唱惠塔克的歌曲《假如》。 Para.3 The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice and thus make the world a better place. 虚拟合唱团对于全国各地的人来说，用同一个声音唱歌是一个非常棒的方式，从而使整个世界变得更美好。 Para.4 ◇词汇拓讲 1．opportunity n．机会；时机 (P52)Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone. 【翻译】想象一下，当你独自在家的时候，有机会和几百个人一起唱歌。 【用法详解】 [针对练习] 单句语法填空 (1)I am very happy to have the opportunity ________(perform) on the same stage with the famous musician.
