喜樂美語

You can picture disco as a room with the lights down, records playing loud, and people dancing — no live band, just recorded music and a crowd. That one scene covers both uses of the word: sometimes you mean the place or the event itself (a school disco, going to a disco), and sometimes you mean the particular kind of music that filled those rooms in the 1970s, with its heavy, steady beat.

可以想成一個燈光壓暗的場子：音樂放得很大聲、沒有現場樂團，只有放出來的唱片，一群人在裡面跳舞。這一個畫面同時裝下了 disco 的兩種用法——有時你指的是那個地方或那場活動（a school disco、去 disco 跳舞），有時你指的是七〇年代把那些場子填滿的那種音樂本身，鼓點又重又穩。
