Yang Li: 大家好我是杨莉，这是BBC热门栏目《地道英语》。
William: I'm William Kremer. Welcome to the programme.
Yang Li: Hi William, I'm so excited!
我很兴奋
William: Really? What's brought this on, then?
真的吗？有什么好事？
Yang Li: This weekend something really really great is happening! Do you know what it is?
这周末有些非常非常棒的事要发生，你知道是什么吗？
William: No...
不知道。
Yang Li: It has to do with music...
和音乐有关
William: Ah, is it a big opera?
要演出歌剧？
Yang Li: No, it takes place outdoors...
不，它是在室外举行的
William: Ah, is it opera in the park?
公园露天剧？
Yang Li: No, no, it's not opera. It's Glastonbury! Glastonbury 英国夏季举行的大型音乐节。
William: Oh wow, I've never been. I'm so jealous. What's the line-up this year?
我从未去过，我很嫉妒。今年的团队是那个？
Yang Li: Oh no, you don't have to queue. You can just get tickets online. But of course, they are sold out now.
你不必排队，可以在网上买。但是现在肯定票买没了。
William: No, no, no, the line-up, Yang Li. Who's playing?
不，我是问表演的团队，Yang Li，谁将表演？
The Chemical Brothers are in the line-up for Glastonbury.
Yang Li: Oh, there's U2 and the Chemical Brothers and Fleet Foxes and Elbow... and loads and loads of bands. 不过 William, 我不太明白你刚才说的短语是什么意思，什么是 line-up...
William: Well, in America to 'wait in line' means to queue. But a line-up refers to all the bands that are playing in a festival.
Yang Li: Ah, a line-up 指的是所要参加演出乐队阵势。那么这个词是不是专门用来形容音乐节呢？
William: No, it isn't. Listen to this:
-----------------------
Example
Man: Is Jones playing this weekend?
Jones这周表演吗？
Man 2: No, he's still injured so he's not in the line-up.
不，他受伤了，所以他不在团队里。
---------------------------
Yang Li: 在以上例句里面，'the line-up' 意思是体育团队里的一员，他受伤了，不在团队之列。The line-up. Well, anyway, it's a pretty good line-up at Glastonbury this weekend. I can't wait!
